“Do you really believe that her friend has given that amount so to her? Ever any friend gives money like that without reason?” Ratan knitted his brows.
“You are absolutely right. I don’t buy it. But I just cannot ask her straight about that. We have just settled in our lives and she also disturbed a lot because of the incidents. I don’t want to upset her by asking unwanted questions. If it is something that she can willingly tell to me, she would have told me about it.”
“So you do want to leave the matter without any probing in it and you are thinking it is wise” Chandan angrily said. “Don’t forget that your sister is not only very much young but absolutely beautiful also. You don’t know present day men and they can easily take advantage of her.”
“What you do really want to say to me then?” Chandan felt as if his heart was stopped for a moment before picking up its usual pace.
“I think you also know about the website ‘Choose Your Mate’. All the youth and other people also register their names in that and mainly it is a local website with the details of in and around people. I also have registered in that and I saw your sister’s picture in that with another name and credentials but with the same phone number.”
“I heard about that website but I did not register in it myself.” Chandan said still looking straight into the face of Chandan. “So what?”
“That website is being used for other purposes also. In fact the main purpose behind launching that website is that. Men whether registered in it or not phone to the beautiful girls in that website for sexual favours for money.” Ratan said.
“So in your opinion some person, contacted my sister, bargained a price, used her for sexual pleasure and paid that money.” Chandan did not know how he could say it like that but he already started believing it and very much in shock.
“You know what a good friend I am to you and with how much high esteem I consider your family.” Ratan said. “But it is quite natural to commit mistakes. If your sister has really committed a mistake like that, it not high time yet to put her in the right track.”
“You are absolutely right my friend! You are absolutely right!” Chandan nodded his head. “I agree with you and I talk this matter out with my sister at the first opportunity possible and sort it out.”
“Don’t try to be harsh with her. Mistakes like these are common in youth. You responsibility is just to put her in the right tract without doing such mistakes in future.” With a cautioning expression in his face Ratan said.
“I remember this, don’t worry.” Chandan laughed. He knew the special interest Ratan has on his sister and he could understand why he was taking care like that about her.
Then Sarojini came out and invited both of them for lunch. Chandan tried to deny but as both Ratan and his mother compelled him to take it in their home then, he could not deny it.

It was only the next day Chandan could broach the subject of money with her sister when she asked him about his joining in the company by paying the caution deposit.
“I sure do it. But before that you have to tell me how you have got that much of amount with you. Don’t try to tell me the same story that your friend gave it to you and I am not going to buy it.”
“If you are that much persistent to know about the source of it, just forget about my paying the caution deposit. You may better make other arrangements for making the caution deposit or altogether forget about that job.” With an irritating expression in her face Sailaja said.
“I have no objection to select either of those options but don’t take your money without knowing about the source of it.” With the same firmness in his voice Chandan said.
Sailaja did not say anything to that and her face filled with uneasy expression.
“Anyhow if you are feeling too much to tell me about the source of it, may I make a wild guess? You just have to tell me whether it is true or false.” After few seconds pause Chandan said.
“Alright let me hear what your guess is. I will tell you whether it is true or not.” Sailaja said but her heart beat increased. She understood that her brother guessed it correctly how she has earned that money.
“You have registered yourself in the website ‘Choose Your Mate’. Seeing your photograph and details in it, some guy or guys called you for having sexual services and paid the money as you have provided those services to them. Just tell me whether it is true or not?” Chandan himself also was feeling lot of uneasiness to question his sister like that looking straight into her face. It was indeed very first time in his life that he talked like that with her.
However much she expected that her brother has guessed it, the startling expression in her face was so profound when she heard it from him. She just remained silent staring at him with little gaped mouth and her shock was so clear in her face.
“Your silence like this is proving what I have said is true. Are not you feeling any shame to do it like that? Anyhow why did you do it so? Presently we are comfortable with money and there is no necessity to you to earn it like that.” The disgusting and hateful expression in his face was so much disturbing to her.
“You have asked me a question, whether our family welfare was the only reason to our sister Charita to take the decision to live along with her husband who is one of her gang-rapists or was there something else. You have doubted whether the sexual urge in her also has a role in making her to take that decision, did not you?” looking straight into his face Sailaja asked him.
“Of course I asked you that and I agree now and it is not just keeping our family welfare she has taken the decision to live along with her husband. But she has married to him and there is no wrong whatsoever if she has it with him. How you do compare it with what you have done?” Chandan angrily said.
“I am not making any comparison. I am just trying to make you understand the power of urge in us sometimes. Our sister has become ready even to sleep with the man who gang-raped her before just to satisfy her uncontrollable urge. That is the intensity of the urge which made her to determine like that. I have registered in the website, not just me, many girls and boys also did that and while I was suffering with such intensive urge I received a phone call from a man and I just could not deny. To be frank the overwhelming urge in me then made me agree to that. But brother when it was over I felt so happy and proud of that.”
“I just cannot understand how you can feel proud for such an immoral and indecent thing!” the disgusting expression in the face of Chandan was just so.
“The person who phoned to me has family problems and he indeed wanted someone to share his problems and mental peace. Of course having some sex also was in his ideas and I appeared suitable to me. He offered beautiful money for exchange of that and I must be frank it was not for the money’s sake I went to him. I heard his problems and provided him with mental peace and have given myself sexually also as it was a requirement not just to him but to me also. He was a man suffering so much sexually and otherwise with his wife and in that six hours or so of time he enjoyed a lot with me and we both have become best friends. He asked me to remain as his best friend forever I agreed to it and asked him not to pay any amount if he wanted us both be best friends forever also. He agreed to that but while I was coming to home he paid me two lakhs rupees instead of one lakh and this was the message he sent along with the money.” Then she opened her cell phone and has shown that message to him.
“I....I just don’t know what to say to any of this!” sighing heavily with a shocking expression in his face Chandan said. “My sister has become practically a prostitute! My elder sister has been gang-raped and forced to marry one of the guys who gang-raped her. My younger sister is doing prostitution for money and thinking that she is doing social service. I just don’t know how to take any of this.”
“You may take in whichever way you want but I am not seeing any wrong in what I did. People who are doing gravest mistakes on the earth are so happy now. But by whatever I did I not only satisfied my urge but gave utmost happiness to that guy also. Moreover, now I am in a position to pay one lakh rupees caution deposit for my brother to make him join in his dream job.”
Chandan opened his eyes but remained staring into her eyes without saying anything.
“Brother try to understand! I am not a prostitute and I don’t provide these types of services for money anymore. But sincerely I am not feeling that I did a wrong. Please take this money, pay the caution deposit and join in the job.” Sailaja slumped in the chair opposite to him, took his right hand into her both hands and squeezed it.
“I do that but only on one promise. You have to make a promise to me and should never break it.” Still looking into her face like that Chandan said.
“I know what promise you are going to ask me to make.” She laughed loud and “I should never do this type of prostitution work in future. I make the promise to you. Are you happy now?”
“Not just that. You have to make the promise to me that you would not have sex with another guy until your marriage is over.” Relieving his hand from her hands Chandan said.
“That is indeed a very big promise to make” with a serious expression in her face Sailaja said. “Sometimes the urge in me is that much I just cannot control myself. May be I am a nymphomaniac I cannot say but I do sincerely try not to have it with any other guy except my husband or future husband.”
“What does that mean?” Chandan knitted his brows together.
“If I have fallen in love with someone and decided to marry him in future, will there be any problem in my having sex with him?”
“I cannot comment any on that. But either men or women they should have it only after their marriage. It is immoral to have it before marriage even with their own spouse.” Sighing heavily Chandan said. “Anyhow it reminded me one thing. I think Ratan has special interest in you. If you like you may think how it is to make him your future husband.” Chandan paused before a second before saying again. “In fact it was he who made my doubt strong on your having money like that and forced me to ask you so. It seemed that he has no objection in your having like that with guys but he just wants you to behave in a better way in future. All the time I just saw concern in him on you but nothing else.”
