“But in my opinion Okatho is not the split personality in Eva. She is absolutely real and her sister and is staying in her body with her permission.” Sadan said.
“What? I permitted Okatho to stay in my mind? Why the bloody hell I do such type of a thing?” with surprise and anger Evalla exclaimed!
“You may not remember anything but you were the sister of that Okatho. As a sister you would have loved her a lot and make that promise to her. Under what circumstances you did make such a promise to her we don’t know and next time we may.” Sadan said.
“I am thinking whether Dr.Rose is necessary for the treatment of Evalla....”Viswanadh said. “...........as it has become clear like this that her problem is not psychological.”
“Dr.Rose is necessary. For certain reasons Dr.Rose is necessary for the treatment of Evalla.” Sadan said. “Even Okatho and Amsara are real, Evalla is influenced very much psychologically also by Okatho. So treating her psych in a scientific way also is necessary.”
“It is quite ironical............” Viswanadh smiled “............even though both of your ways are quite opposite, you both are allowing the other and helping Evalla to recover from her disorder.”
“In Dr.Rose’s opinion she is curing Evalla from her split-personality disorder and in my opinion I am helping not only Evalla but you people also from Amsara.” Sadan paused for a moment before saying again “The only one thing we need to feel too much fear here is Amsara.”
“I just don’t know what to say to this. Still it is all very much confusing to me.” With an uneasy and confusing expression Evalla said.
“It will be just so to all those who cannot believe in paranormal.” Sadan said. “But you need not worry about anything at all. I am here to help you people in this.”
After that, before disbursing from that room, those three discussed in themselves for some more time.

“Mom, now tell me why do you indeed want to see me this sudden?” after hugging her mother and kissing on her right cheek, settling herself beside her on the sofa, Prameela said.
“You are my daughter. What is the surprise if I want to see you sudden?” Yamuna said with a smile. “I saw you in a dream yesterday night. So I want to see you early in the morning.”
“Of course, I know that you have lot of love and affection on me.” Prameela also smiled and said “But I don’t think it is just because of your seeing me in a dream you want to see me like this. Is there really nothing you want to talk with me now?”
“How is your step-mom dear? Is she is happy there? Are you trying to be friendly with her now?” still looking into the face of her daughter, Yamuna asked her.
“Your counselling like that to me indeed got a change in me.” Prameela laughed. “My way of thinking has changed now and we have become very good friends also.”
“It is indeed good news to hear then.” Yamuna’s face was filled with a happy expression. “I hope your dad is so happy with her now.”
“He is very much happy, I must say.” Prameela nodded her head. “Whatever you may say, it is surprising to me that you do still worry like this about dad and now about his wife also.”
“You cannot understand dear! You may never can.” Yamuna leaned back in the sofa and closed her eyes with a sorrowful expression in her face. “It always worries me that I left him in such a state with a tender little girl.”
“But mom it was he who was stubborn to keep me with him. You tried to take me with you.”
“You are the only one he has got and all his love and affection is for you. His business and everything else are also secondary to him. However much difficult it would be to him, how he could let me take you away from him? Of course, you are right. He himself kept you with him but I have a responsibility to be with him and looked after you. I could not do that.”
“Its alright mom. It all has happened a long time back and now everything has changed. I have become a big girl, dad overcame all his difficulties and became a rich man. Now he is happy with his second wife.”
“But he suffered a lot because of me. He was deprived the association of a woman at a time when he needed it the most.” Yamuna sighed heavily and the sorrowful expression in her face was just the same.
“It was his fault that he did not marry for a long time, what you can do for it?” Prameela smiled. “Now he is married and having that pleasure also. There is no necessity to you to worry about now.”
“That is what worrying me now dear. In fact to talk about that issue I want to see you now.”
“I can’t guess what you want to say.” With a confusing expression in her face Prameela said. “We already talked a lot about my step-mom, her marriage with dad, did not we?”
“Yes, you are right.” Yamuna nodded her head. “We have talked about her psychological disorder and her being treated by one famous psychiatrist Dr.Rose. I know about the BAMC in which she is working. I don’t know about her but BAMC is indeed famous.”
“Mom, come straight. What you indeed want to talk?” with an irritating expression in her face Prameela said.
“In fact I myself in confusion about how to talk this matter with you.” Yamuna got off form the sofa she sat, dragged a chair nearby opposite to her daughter and slumped herself in that. “What would be the reason that girl proposing herself to marry your dad like that?”
“Mom..............” Prameela stooped forward in the sofa and looked straight into the face of her mother. “Despite his fifty plus or so aged; dad is a handsome personality. He is a rich man also. So that girl attracted towards him and wanted to marry him. Of course it was not because of only love that she wanted to marry him but what’s wrong? After all she is also a human being and wants comforts of richness.”
“I agree with you. But......”
“As long as she is giving happiness to dad and not trying to be infidel, I just cannot see anything wrong with her. In fact......” Prameela paused for a second as if to reiterate whatever she was going to say. “...........it was you who supported dad’s marrying that girl and advised me to be friendly with that girl. Now you are talking like this!” the irritation in Prameela was increased even more.
“You are jumping to conclusions without hearing me in full. Did I say that girl has a malafide intention in marrying your dad or your dad did a mistake by marrying that girl? Why don’t you try to be a little patient and listen to me carefully?” this time there was irritation in Yamuna also.
“Alright. Then first let me know what is really worrying you.” Prameela said and leaned back in the sofa fixing her gaze on the face of her mother.
“I am having a strong hunch that there is a strong reason for that girl’s entering into your dad’s life like that and in fact that girl also may not be known about that at all.”
“Why are you thinking like that?” Prameela knitted her brows together.
“If our feeling is supported by reasons it is not called a hunch.” Yamuna said. “I said it is a hunch. I don’t know why I am feeling like that but I am feeling that there was a strong reason for that girl’s becoming the wife of your dad. I repeat that girl also might not be known about it and forced by some paranormal to marry your dad.”
“Oh, mom. What you are talking?” Prameela laughed loudly on hearing that. “Have you forgotten that you are a famous and reputed gynaecologist? It is shocking to me that you do believe in hunches and paranormal.”
“It is equally shocking to me also that she does believe in such things. But she is so from the beginning and I could not change her.” On hearing that voice Prameela turned back and found Madhukar there. “This time her feeling regarding your dad’s second marriage is even more and I just don’t know what to do.” After saying that Madhukar came and sat beside Prameela on the sofa. Just like every time, Prameela was feeling uneasily to sit beside him like that.
Prameela sighed heavily and remained silent. What her mother has said indeed put her into some thinking. Even she has to agree ultimately that there was some paranormal involvement with the problem of Evalla, she did not think of there would have been a paranormal reason for her marrying her father also.
“Sometimes I get irritation on myself for giving room to this type of feelings but you know it has become a weakness............”
“No, mom. Your feeling may not be completely groundless.” Prameela interfered and said. “I did not think in this way till this moment but on thinking deep it is appearing what you have said also may be true.”
“Till this moment I have thought it is only your mom but now you also started in thinking such a way!” there was irritation in Madhukar.
“Madhu, just remember what you have promised to me, how do you forget like that?” Yamuna said angrily. “Did not you make a promise to find a solution to solve Viswa’s problem?”
“Of course I did. And I still remember that.” Madhukar laughed out. “But you know I have a little problem in believing in paranormal.”
