but it still wasn't enough for her family so she would bring home the food that was left behind and gave it to her family in this way they were living their life the food that was useless for those families was precious to rebecca's family she would filter and give the edible food to her children one month had passed this way rebecca was now doing well all of those families were satisfied with her work one day her mistress emily said to her rebecca a lot of yesterday's food has been left will you take it with you yes ma'am i will definitely take it then rebecca put all the food in a container and put it in her bag neatly after finishing her house chores she went home they loved the food and ate it till their bellies were full from that day onwards it became a routine every day there was something left and rebecca would ask her mistress and then took the food home now the rainy season had started rebecca was still working but one day she was late for work so all of her mistresses started shouting at her only emily did not get angry with her emily asked rebecca aren't you feeling well if you are sick then you can take a leave ma'am poor people have no luxury of taking leave if we don't work for a day then we don't get food to eat saying this rebecca started doing her work a few days later emily asked rebecca about her family but rebecca did not tell her about her situation this surprised emily by then sam was able to sit by himself and could work with the help of a stick but he was not fully recovered he would take care of the children he narrated his children different stories and chatted with them on different different topics one day when rebecca was going for her work it started raining she did not have an umbrella but she still tried to save herself from rain and rushed for the work by the time she reached the house she was soaked wet she noticed that her clothes were all wet it was uncomfortable but she still started working after finishing work at two houses she went to emily's house on the way she thought how unlucky i am i wish the rain would stop soon i don't have money to buy an umbrella what should i do as it was raining heavily she took a shelter near a shop after waiting some time she reached emily's house when emily saw rebecca she said rebecca why are you so wet if you don't change the clothes you will catch a cold and fall sick no ma'am i'm fine you can wear my saree you won't catch a cold then it's nice of you to think about me i'm grateful
