Ans. Gillu spent two years with the story-writer living in a flower-basket hung on the window as his nest. She was very much perturbed by his death because he was so much closely associated with her. Whenever she was present in her room he would sit near her feet or remain on the table leaning the wall, for hours and watch her activities with his eyes. She had also never dreamt of his being seperated. But after two years of his association with her, he took his last breath.
The story-writer witnessed his departure from this world from her own eyes. She was highly aggrieved by his death. It shocked her much. Gillu was buried under the Sonjuhi creeper because he loved the creaper most and because of her satisfaction. It is her believe that some day she will find him flowering and blossoming in the outward form of a tiny yellow. Juhi flower. Thus it is observed that she was so much aggrieved, as if she had lost her own son. Which was really genuine and but natural.
