Book Free Demo Nishad had obviously not been paying too much attention to my list of facts. All he could say was, “Poor man, Maya, he must be so lonely if he doesn’t have any friends.”
“How can a crook have friends, idiot?” I almost shouted.
“At least he has one friend, the one who meets him on Sundays,” said Nishad.
A brilliant thought occurred to me just then. “That man must be Mr Nath’s accomplice in crime,” I said. “Maybe he keeps all the loot and he comes now and then to give part of it to his partner, Mr Nath, for expenses. That’s it! I’m sure I’m right.”
Explanation:
Maya's list was complete, but she noticed that her brother was paying little attention to her and continued to refer to Mr Nath as a poor and lonely guy. Maya became enraged and almost yelled at him. She inquired as to how a crook could have friends. Through the rhetorical question, Maya was trying to explain how criminals do not make friends and, as a result, they are more likely to be lonely.
Nishad ignored her once more and remarked that Mr Nath at least had that one friend who visited him on Sundays.

She reasoned that the accomplice might have retained all of the stolen items and gave a part of it to Mr Nath whenever he visited him.
