the reason why she felt this certain way.

Lakshmi felt this certain way because she wanted someone to protect her while she was in this horrible place. She also wanted him there because he made her feel special.When I say that he made her feel special I mean he made her feel as if she was important. But, when he left. She wanted to say thank you in his language, but she felt that he should get more than just a thank you. Nobody ever made her feel that way. She doesn't know what to do.
