The room is silent.
Kanak is still standing near the window. Her eyes are fixed outside, but her mind is somewhere else.
Slowly… she sits down near the window.
Her heart feels heavy.
"This is my life now…" she whispers to herself.
Tears roll down her cheeks. But this time… she does not wipe them.
After some time…
There is a soft knock on the door.
"Madam… may I come in?" a lady's voice comes.
Kanak quickly wipes her tears.
"Yes…" she says slowly.
A middle-aged woman enters the room.
"Hello, madam. I am Tina… house servant," she says politely.
Kanak nods.
"Sir told me to help you with everything," Tina adds.
Kanak looks at her.
"Please… don't call me madam," Kanak says softly.
Tina smiles a little.
"Okay… but sir won't like that," she replies.
Kanak stays silent.
Then she asks slowly,
"Can I… call my family?"
Tina looks a bit uncomfortable.
"Sir has not allowed that," she says.
Kanak's face falls.
"Oh…" she whispers.
