ANSWER :-
To a great extent, the postmaster plays a formative role in Ratan's life. He helps to give her purpose and meaning. The opening of the story is one in which Ratan wanders around Ulapur, not really having a defined reason. Yet, with the postmaster, she has this purpose. Whether it is to help him, be there for him, tend to him, or even be seen as a colleague in his struggles, Ratan recognizes fully this purpose in being. As she is an orphan and someone shown to not have a family, what the postmaster gives her is a sense of identity and a sense of purpose. The postmaster gives this to her and she understands this, worships it and is passionate about it. It is in this realm that Ratan understands what the postmaster has given to her. When he says he is leaving, her desire to go with him is because she understands what the implications are of his leaving. The purpose that she held with him is in danger of leaving, necessitating her desire to go with him. In this, there is a clear understanding of what the postmaster gave to Ratan, making his decision to leave her even more callous.
