That woman’s cheeks were blushed on hearing that and she went away from that place.
“And we can manage blood of a dead man also. All we need is sometime.” Then Puttipoma looked into the face of Inchuvario.
“There is not much time. It has to happen tomorrow itself.” Suddenly with an anxious expression in his face Inchuvario said.
“Why this urgency? Is your wife going to deliver the baby just in one or two days?’’ Puttipoma knitted his brows together.
‘’There is time of course to my wife to deliver the baby but .........’’ Inchuvario stooped forward in the chair. ‘’That Mavamavayi’s family is going to leave this village on tomorrow. He said so strictly that if I cannot get it done through him on tomorrow, I can never get it done by him because his family leaves the village on tomorrow itself.’’
“I just cannot understand what you are saying!” suddenly there was a startling expression on the face of Puttipoma. ‘’That Mavamavayi took such a decision?”
‘’I too did not believe that immediately. Their family is in this village from the beginning and it is the only prostitute family. Very soon they can put their daughters into the trade. But he is so serious about it and I have to believe it.’’ Inchuvario could not understand why that shocking expression in the face of Puttipoma.
“I have no doubt that Mavamavayi meant it.’’ The sudden sharpness in the voice of Puttipoma surprised Inchuvario. “You don’t feel any fear at all. I shall see that family would never leave this village.” His voice was firm.
“Alright then” after taking some more time with that man Inchuvario left that place without knowing in how much of danger he put Mavamavayi’s family. Anyhow he did not believe Puttipoma’s words and wanted to complete his mission the day after that day itself with or without necessary ingredients.

“I am feeling very much sad that we have to go away from this place without you Charakka” Okatho said. ‘’You don’t know how much I want you also with us.’’
“I don’t want to leave this village even with you also. I born here and grew up here. Even the villagers never respected me, this is a favourite place to me. Especially this river bank!” Evalla’s face also was with full of sorrow. ‘’Moreover leaving this village without you, need I say how much pathetic that would be to me?’’
‘’I know about that dear girl’’ Charakka said looking into the face of Evalla. ‘’But your mother is adamant for having things in her own way. You cannot live in this village in the way she is thinking. These villagers don’t let you live like that. So it is compulsory that you do leave this village.”
“But why should not you come with us? We are all going to live at once place , together?” Evalla was vehement.
“I already told why I cannot do that. I cannot explain all that again.” Charakka’s voice was suddenly with sorrow. “But dear girls. We shall be in touch. We can talk again and play again.”
“Alright Charakka. I just want it to be so.” Okatho got off from the place she sat, hugged on the right cheek of him and said. “If you are not a fifty years aged man and I am not just fourteen years, I would have married you.’’
“I understood!” Charakka relieved gently from her hold as her touch like that was creating different feeling in him. As her mother wanted that much that her both daughters would live as respectable housewives, he did not want to spoil them.
‘’Why mother is that much adamant? What’s the wrong in living the life she has lived upto now?’’ Evalla suddenly questioned.
‘’You just don’t know what is happening inside so you are talking like that.’’ Settling herself beside Evalla, Okatho said. ‘’If it is comfortable and happy, why our mother would be that much adamant to make us never live like that?’’
Evalla did not say anything to that but she did not like her sister’s saying much either. She just could not see any wrong in the way her mother was living and moreover it was the way to please Amsara most.
“I heard you are a magician also Charakka, what magic you can do?’’ looking into the face of Charakka, Okatho asked him to change the subject. She knew her sister did not like what she said and what she did not know was why her sister was not thinking like her and their mother.
“My father was a snakecharmer and he kenw some magics and so far I have learnt only one magic from him.” Charakka laughed and said. “Mesmerism! I can mesmerise people and make them either to forget or remember things.”
‘’It is very much interesting! Why did not you tell us about it before?” Okatho asked curiously. “So you make us remember things we have forgotten!”
“And make you forget all about yourself also.” Charakka once again laughed. ‘’But I did not use it for a long time and I don’t think whether it works or not now.’’
“When we meet again, you have to teach it to me.” Evalla said. “It is so much interesting even to hear.’’
‘’Alright I do that.’’ Charakka said. “This is the last day we are going to spend in this bank like this. Tomorrow I have to go to the bank to get the money.”
“And there is the night also” Okatho said “this night we three sleep together and talk many a thing in ourselves.’’
‘’Best idea!” Charakka laughed and said. “We sure can do it like that.”
After that some more time they talked in themselves before returning to home. In the night of that day the three Charakka, Okatho and Evalla slept together and he told them many stories and they pretended that they were delighted. But the three of them were with full of sorrow as on the next day itself that Okatho and Evalla has to leave that village along with their parents and Charakka would become all alone in that village.

The next day Inchuvario came to the house of Mavamavayi along with his wife Kasamaria and Mavamayi arranged everything as it has to be. He already explained that to Charakka also and Charakka early in the morning itself left that village. Vesavaviri left the house along with her two daughters and after making Kasamaria laid herself on the cot and told her everything that was necessary, Mavamavayi also left that place.
When Mavamavayi and Inchuvario returned to the home after four hours or so time, Kasamaria was so happy. As soon as she looked at Inchuvario she exclaimed loudly with happiness! “Amsara came and fucked me. But nothing happened to my pregnancy and it is intact!”
Inchuvario could not contain his happiness, ran towards his wife, hugged her and kissed all over her face feverishly.
‘’Alright. But first you dress yourself completely. You need not be naked like this anymore.’’ It was quite unbelievable to Mavamavayi also. In rare and rare situations only it would happen like that.
Kasamaria relived from her husband’s hold, ran away from that place to dress herself completely as if she noticed her nakedness only then.
“It is only because of you Mava, because of you! Even without the other necessary ingredients also, my wife could get the grace of Amsara and my family is going to be very rich and famous!” Inchuvario’s face was full happiness.
‘’As your wife’s pregnancy is because of incest, Amsara liked it I think.’’ Mavamavayi said ‘’You already have paid the amount I asked and I don’t mind if you pay some more money in this happy situation!”
Then Inchuvario paid some more money to Mavamavayi before leaving that place and both Vesavaviri and Mavamavayi were so much happy. Including the money that Charakka was going to give to them with the money they have earned through Inchuvario, they have more than enough! They need not bother at all to leave this village on the night of that day itself.
Mavamavayi and Vesavaviri arranged every thing to leave the village in the night of that day as quite as possible.
“We just start by three in the morning. It takes one hour walk from here to the town and there you can get into a train. Once you alighted in the place where you want, go to the man’s place I told you. He not only arranges some place to you people to live but see some work also to earn money. He is a good man and good friend to me also. I hope and wish that you people can live the life that Vesavaviri cherish so much.” Charakka said after giving the money to them he withdrew from the bank.
“Thank you very much brother!” Vesavaviri hugged him and kissed on his right cheek. “We remember your help forever.”
“You need not” relieving from her hold Charakka said with a warning expression in his face. “But be careful! There are bad people everywhere.”
“We shall be in our care. Don’t worry.” Mavamavayi forced a smile onto his lips and said. He could not feel that much enthusiastic for the adventure they undertook on that day.
“For the last time we take our supper together and sleep together. No entertainment of customers on this day and I have enough money. In fact Charakka gave us more money than our properties worth.” Looking gratefully into the face of Charakka, Mavamavayi said.
“My husband is right Charakka!” the same grateful expression was in the face of Vesavaviri also. “I don’t know why you said it like that but you indeed paid more amount than our assets deserve.”
“I am happy that you are feeling like that.” Charakka said with a smile. “But be careful with the money. Ask that man, he helps you opening a bank account also. Deposit all that money into that bank account once it opened.”
“We do so” Mavamavayi nodded his head. “You said that it is not difficult to find that man.” Mavamavayi said looking into the face of Charakka with knitted brows as if to confirm himself once again.
“It is not difficult. He is running an orphanage ‘Alambana.’ That place is very far from here and once you reach it, no one can know where you are. I just mislead the people about your whereabouts.”
“That indeed would be a nice thing!” this time Mavamavayi laughed heartfully. “From now on my family is going to live a different life.”
“Absolutely!” with firmness Vesavaviri said. “Now we are going to have best supper possible. Then we must sleep and wake up exactly at three in the morning to go away from this place.”
Then the supper prepared by Vesavaviri was indeed best and by the time all of them were slipped into sleep it was eleven in the night but there was a sort of uneasiness in everyone’s heart at that time till they sleep.
“Charakka....Charakkaa....” when Charakka woke up and looked straight, it was Evalla. “Come. We both go to river bank now.”
“What the bloody hell you are talking?” Charakka looked at wrist watch he put beside him and said. “It is twelve thirty and now you want to go to the river bank? However much favourite place that is, now is not the time to go there. Just in two hours or so we have to start from here and just put yourself into sleep.” After saying so Charakka once again tried to put himself into sleep.
“No Charakka. There is a purpose in asking you like this. We return to home before it is three. This is my last request and please come.” Charakka could see the pleading expression in the face of Evalla.
“Alright dear!” Charakka first sat up and got off from the place he sat keeping the watch in his hand. “We must return to the place before it is three.”
“How do I forget that Charakka?” Evalla laughed and said. “We have got very little time in between and we should move fast.”
After that it did not take more than fifteen minutes or so to both of them to reach the river bank.
