The New School

Harini did not understand her father. She was quiet.

So Vishwajeet uncle tried again, “Okay, let me ask you
something. Can you take care of Jeevan all by yourself at
the hostel?”

“No Papa,” Harini replied.

“So, that means you need more help if you want to take
care of him right now, isn’t it?” he asked.

Harini nodded her head.

“When you finish your studies, can you take care of
yourself all alone?” he asked.

“Yes Papa. But I don’t know if I can immediately take care
of myself even after I finish my studies,” she said.

“So you are saying that you are unable to take
responsibility for another person now. You want to, but
you must invest in yourself to make yourself independent.
Then you can teach Jeevan also,” he said.

Harini realized her father was trying to help her first
become independent herself. She hugged him. “I promise
Papa, I will stand on my own feet before I start teaching
Jeevan,” she said.
