Explanation:
Coming to Ram Bharosa, his name means ‘Ram the trustworthy’. He is a shopkeeper, probably middle-aged, not very old. He runs a tea shop on Tehri road, but he also sells curd, soft-drinks, toffees and so on, mainly food items. Once a day, a bus halts by his shop and passengers drink tea or slurp curd. By all means, he is the richest man in the village. However, at the same time he is greedy too. He often let people or students take items on credit and at the time of calculation, he charges them extra and when they can’t pay he snatches some of their valuable stuff for his personal use or to sell at his shop.
However Binya and her brother Bijju do not fall prey to his antics. They are cautious of him. Ram Bharosa is greedy for the blue umbrella, he wants to have it; thus he offers a price of twelve rupees to Binya but to no avail. Whenever he sees Binya passes by the shop, he tries to lure her but to no avail. He becomes sad upon his status. Soon after monsoon he keeps a boy named Rajaram from a neighboring village as an assistant at is shop. Rajaram being extra-smart promises him to steal the umbrella for him at the cost of three rupees. To this Ram Bharosa, agrees hesitatingly.
