Dharamvir Bharati ji ne 'Gunahon Ka Devta' mein sirf Chander aur Sudha ki hi nahi, balki unke aas-paas ke kirdaaron ki bhi bahut parat-dar-parat (layered) chhavi kheenchi hai. Is bhag mein hum 'Rose Lawn' naam ke ek purane bungalow mein pravesh karte hain. Kaha jata hai ki Bharati ji ne Allahabad ke un purane bungalows aur unme rehne wale Anglo-Indian families se prabhavit hokar Pammi aur Berty ka kirdaar racha tha. Yeh novel 1949 mein pehli baar publish hui thi aur tab se lekar aaj tak, iska har kirdaar pathakon ke dilon mein basa hua hai. Pammi ka kirdaar us daur ki 'modern yet lonely' mahila ka ek behtareen udahran hai.

Namaste dosto, main hoon Roshni aur 'Baatcheet and Hindi Stories' ke is episode mein hum 'Gunahon Ka Devta' ke teesre bhag (Chapter 3) mein pravesh kar rahe hain.

Pichle bhag mein humne dekha ki Chander, Dr. Shukla ke kahe anusar ek typing ke kaam se 'Rose Lawn' pahunchta hai. Yeh bungalow jitna purana hai, utna hi udas bhi. Wahan Chander ki mulaqat Berty (A.F. DeCruise) se hoti hai, jo ek bimar aur maansik roop se pareshan vyakti hai. Berty ko lagta hai ki Chander uske gulab churaney aaya hai—woh gulab jo uski mrut patni ki yaad mein hain.

Lekin asli entry hoti hai Pammi (Miss P. DeCruise) ki. Pammi ek Anglo-Indian mahila hai jiska vyaktitva (personality) Chander ko prabhavit karta hai. Woh jitni sundar hai, utni hi prashna-vachak (questioning) bhi. Is bhag mein Pammi aur Chander ke beech shaadi, dhokha aur akelapan (loneliness) par ek bahut gehari behes hoti hai. Pammi batati hai ki kaise shaadi ne uske bhai Berty ki zindagi tabaah kar di.

Sabse hairan kar dene wali baat tab aati hai jab Pammi swikaar karti hai ki Berty ke gulab koi chor nahi churata, balki woh khud unhe tod deti hai kyunki woh us 'jhoothi yaad' aur 'dhokhe' se nafrat karti hai. Yeh episode jazbaaton aur manovigyan (psychology) se bhara hua hai.
