“In fact there is no problem at all. I love it but.....” she was about to say something but then Sadan entered into that room.
“Am I a disturbance or interference between you dad and daughter’s discussion?” he knitted his brows together. “If it is so I shall come after sometime.”
“It is not at all so and in fact for the present topic your presence is very much important.” Suddenly a smile came onto the lips of Viswanadh. “Please come and make yourself comfortable first.”
“I want to perform my daughter’s marriage with you as fast as possible and so far my daughter concerned she has no objection whatsoever to that. I just want to hear what you are going to say to that.” Once Sadan made himself comfortable in his opposite chair, Viswanadh said looking into his face and then looked into the face of his daughter. Prameela looked into the face of Sadan and nodded her head in agreement.
“I just do love to marry your daughter at any moment. I am happy that you yourself broached it rather than we both volunteered ourselves to say it to you. But.....” he paused for a second. “.......I am thinking that we may better wait for sometime.”
“Why you are thinking like that?” Viswanadh knitted his brows and Sadan’s saying so caused frowns on Prameela’s forehead also.
“It is my subconscious’ saying to me that very soon we are going to be disturbed to the maximum. The very possible reason for that is Evalla, your wife and the split-personality Okatho in her. I am thinking that it is better we think about this marriage issue once this major problem solved.”
“For the last few days there is no problem from her and even I also acknowledge this is just recession and the problem is not completely solved, I am not thinking that it is a problem to be solved fast. My opinion is we have to suffer with Evalla’s problem for a considerable period of time and postponing your marriage is not much recommendable because of that. Prameela is aged twenty six years and you are also some thirty two or so.”
“I agree of course.” Sadan nodded his head. “But I am having a strong premonition. Very soon we are going to be disturbed to the maximum and we have to be prepared to that. Next, Evalla’s problem is not going to be forever. Once Okatho fulfilled her desire, the problem shall be solved. There will be no Okatho then.”
“Are you thinking that Okatho’s desire is something that can be fulfilled? I just don’t know how ever she can get the full grace of Amsara and take revenge on those bastards.” Prameela said.
“Okatho’s idea is.....” Sadan paused for a second “...........I think you also can guess that. She stays in the body of Evalla until Evalla becomes pregnant, then makes her offer herself to Amsara. You know Amsara has special interest on pregnant woman and possess some of them if they offered themselves to him. If he accepted their offering, he blesses them with his grace. So Okatho is now waiting just to Evalla becomes pregnant. Okatho is thinking staying in the body of Evalla while she is offering herself to Amsara is offering herself to him.”
“It is six months or so after our marriage and she has not become pregnant yet. I am not thinking that she becomes pregnant even in the future.” Viswanadh said with a despairing tone.
“My strong hunch is; she sure becomes pregnant very soon.” Sadan said with firmness in his voice. Before either Viswanadh or Prameela said anything, he said again. “We just wait for some more days. If there is no problem to us with her and my premonition proved wrong, we make arrangements for the marriage of our both.”
Viswanadh and Prameela looked into each other’s faces and nodded their heads.

“This river bank, we never fail to come here and play with.” Okatho said looking into the face of Evalla. “In the evening times, after our school it is indeed the best place to us to pass our time.”
“You are right” Evalla said. “But I don’t like the way we have been treated in the school. They are treating us as dirt. I am thinking that it is better we don’t go to school at all.”
“No, please don’t think like that. Education is important to us. Mother said if we are educated we can come out of blind beliefs like there is paranormal like Amsara. We need education to lead lives respectably.” Okatho said. Both were sat on the same big boulders on the bank of the river on which they usually sit.
“There is no paranormal like Amsara? There is no Amsara at all?” Evalla knitted her brows together.
“No, there is no Amsara and it is just the creation of sick minds. There is no such thing in existence at all.”
“So, our great grandfather Michivako adoring Amsara and his becoming rich due to that also just imagination of sick minds and not true?” Evalla was still looking into the face of Okatho.
“Absolutely so. Our great grandfather family’s sudden richness was because of anything but not Amsara. Michivako’s sick thinking made him to do such dirty things and his doing such dirty things was never the reason for their prosperity.”
“But what do you say about our seeing Pomya and the things she has been saying to us? It is said that Pomya died a long time back and she appears like that only for the few. We both are seeing her and listening many things from her. Are you thinking that we both are just imagining Pomya and it is not paranomral at all?”
Okatho did not say anything as she did not know what to say to that at all.
Evalla said again. “Did you say to mother that we have been seeing Pomya here?”
“If I say it so to her, she never allows us to come here again to play. I cannot take a risk like that. This is so much a favourite place to me and I don’t want to be deprived of the pleasure of playing here.”Okatho sighed heavily. “I did not say about that father also
“For the same reason, I also did not say about that to mother and father too.” Evalla said “Only Charakka knows about it. I am afraid he may tell about it to mother at sometime in future”
“There is no problem that Charakka tells about it to your mother at any time.”
Both of them have heard the same usual voice of Pomya, stood up and turned back. On the back of them Pomya stood in the usual attire of white clothes and small smile on her lips.
“He is sensible to think that there is such danger if he tells it to your parents. Don’t worry.”
“Oh, Pomya, you!” Evalla’s face brightened with happiness. “I really did not expect to see you now.”
“I also.” Okatho also nodded her head. “But thank you Pomya you came here again to talk with us.”
“I also feel pleasure to talk with you both.” Pomya said looking at the both girls. “It is indeed very much joyful to me to talk with the people who are loved by Amsara.”
“I just don’t know how Amsara loves me even he is in existence.” Okatho said. “I don’t like his desires. I never want to be in the way he wants. Why he still likes me and loves me?”
“It is just because you are the direct descendant of Michivako and was lucky enough to survive his sexual intercourse with your mother also. Amsara knows sooner or later you come into his way. He spares with the temporary disobedience like this if he is sure sooner or later the person comes into his way.” Pomya this time was looking into the face of Okatho.
“I come into the way of Amsara, that never does happen.” Okatho’s voice was firm. “I have decided so strongly in myself to follow the way my mother suggesting. Even however much angry Amsara may get that never does change.”
“Oh, don’t talk like that and get Amsara more angry with you.” Evalla admonishingly said. “The hardships we are facing now are not enough to you?”
“Either you or your mother cannot say how the future is going to be but Amsara can. Amsara can know it for sure and I am also feeling so strongly, a time does come that you become staunch follower of Amsara.” Still looking into the face of Okatho, Pomya said.
Okatho did not say anything and remained silent. Seeing Pomya like that before her who died a long time back itself was the real proof that there was paranormal. Then how Amsara also would not be true?
“And Eva you are going to be the wife of Michivako, your great grandfather sometime in future. Amsara makes it takes place. He always makes his devotees together. Michivako and his mistress Tarima were great devotees of him in those days and he wants them become one now also.” This time Pomya said looking into the face of Evalla.
“Where is that Michivako now? What’s his name in this life? When I am going to him and how can I recognise him?” Evalla’s heart was filled with joy when she heard that. She was indeed very much attracted to Michivako and there was a feeling in her towards him which she could not explain herself to her.
“Looking at whom you get the strong feeling that he is the person for you and you borne for him, he is Michivako.” Pomya said. “Amsara makes you to choose only Michivako for your marriage. If you wholeheartedly find someone to marry and share your life, he is Michivako. You need no doubt in that at all.”
“Alright then.” Evalla nodded her head and said “Thank you” even though there was dissatisfaction in her heart hearing Pomya like that. She wanted some straight answer to her question.
Then just like at any other time, without saying anything, Pomya disappeared from that place.
“Now can you say whatever happened just before our eyes was nothing but our imagination?” looking into the face of Okatho, Evalla asked her.
“I cannot say anything! Come, now we do go to home. It becomes night soon.” Okatho turned back and started walking away from that place and Evalla just followed her.
That was the moment Evalla woke up with irritation and anger on herself. She knew whatever has gone through in her mind till that moment was not her dream but she remembered something that took place in her life at a long time back. The Pomya, she still could remember her with all minute details and it was she who believed in paranormal and who believed in Pomya at that time than her sister Okatho also.
She could remember what Pomya said about identifying her great grandfather Michivako also. If she felt so strongly towards someone and wanted to marry him, there was no doubt that he was Michivako. Amsara would help her to feel so strongly towards Michivako only wherever he took his birth and whatever may be his name. Even she has sexual intercourse with some people in her life, it was only towards Viswanadh she got such feeling! So as per Pomya’s saying, Viswanadh was no one else but Michivako himself.
