Both of them did not know how much of time passed like that but it was Evalla who remembered her sister Okatho first. “Okatho, where is Okatho?” she got off from the floor, looked into the face of Charakka and yelled loud. Suddenly she got an idea and ran into the bedroom there.
There, even after having such shock looking at her both parents so, Evalla was dumbfounded and even more shocked looking at her sister’s fully naked body on the bed. There was not even a shred of clothing on her body and her thighs were opened wide and they were drenched with blood because of the blood gushing out from her main thing. Without being told, Charakka and Evalla understood that she was repeatedly raped and they could know who did it to her so. The rest of her body also with full of cuts, scratches and wounds insinuating she retaliated enough to escape from those three.
“Okatho, sister Okatho!” Evalla ran towards her, put her both hands around her neck and burst into weeping. “You also dead leaving me all alone?”
Making Evalla startling, there came little movement in Okatho’s body, she opened her eyes and looked weakly into the face of Evalla and made a feeble attempt to talk.
“Okatho, Okatho, you are not dead yet! You are alive!” in such a situation also Evalla found something to feel happy.
“Don’t feel too happy Eva, I am not going to live long. I soon will die.” Okatho’s voice was very weak and barely audible to Charakka and Okatho. Charakka just came there, as much shocked as Evalla while looking at Okatho.
“I don’t let you die, I never let you die.” Evalla was vehement and yelling loudly.
“Listen Evalla. There is no use. You cannot do anything.” It was understood to both Charakka and Evalla that she was using her last drop of strength also to talk. “Please fulfil the last wish of this sister. Please.”
“I know what your last wish is sister” suddenly once again Evalla became fully raged. “I know those three rouges did it. I kill those three. I make them suffer that much that they do feel why they born.”
Even in such a situation also Okatho laughed a little. “Poor Eva, are you thinking you really can do that? Don’t you know how much powerful they are? Of course I want to take revenge for killing our parents like that rather than this gang rape. But it is not in the way you are thinking.” suddenly Okatho’s voice has become even more weak insinuating that her life coming to an end very fast.
“Tell me sister, tell me, in which way we have to do that? I just follow your words.” Evalla’s heart was filled with cold fear seeing her sister like that.
“Amsara. We did a mistake by disobeying Amsara. Even being the lucky child surviving his sexual intercourse, I cannot get the benefit by going against him. Poor mother! She thought god helps us. God did not come while they were killing them both. God did not come and save me while they were gang raping me like this.” She closed her eyes as her strength was draining fast.
“Tell me sister, what should I do? Fulfilling your last wish is the only life aim to me now.” Evalla was vehement and her anxiousness became maximum as she realised that her sister’s death was certain now.
“Even after death I remain as a spirit and take your body. I try to get the grace of Amsara through you and take revenge on those three rogues. As I am the lucky child and changed my mind, I hope Amsara certainly bless me with his grace. Will you allow me come into your body after my death?”
Then Evalla released her hold around her sister’s neck, took her right hand into her hands and squeezed it “As you wish it sister. You come into my body and just stay in it. I do never object to it and from now on it is Okatho in my body but not Evalla.”
Suddenly there was brightening in the face of Okatho and glint in her eyes and just in seconds they disappeared. When Evalla sensed her sister’s hand quite rigid and cold in her hands, she understood what happened. She could not even weep and just remained staring at her dead sister still holding her hand in her hands like that.
***
The death of Vesavaviri, Mavamavayi and Okatho did not affect much Obbera village and by the next day itself, it became just news. But it caused lot of resentment among the men who often visited the house to have it with Vesavaviri and who hoped to have it with Okatho also. Women of the Obbera felt happy thinking that their husbands stuck only to them as there was no Vesavaviri and there was no chance of Okatho to be put into the trade. The hope of the men in Obbera was only on Evalla as she was ripened and could become a woman at any moment and the women there were resenting feeling fear that Evalla might start what her mother used to do. Then one resentment in the both men and women in Obbera was; there was no one well versed in the village now to make the pregnant women to offer themselves to Amsara.
“It is the work of the robbers I know.” The Achamami said. “I think they thought that Mavamavayi’s family earned a lot through Vesavaviri and kept that in that house. So they came into it and it was quite usual to retaliate them and what that both wife and husband did. What I hate too much.....” that man said “........their gang-raping the little girl like that! We all do have lot of hope that sooner or later that she would be put into trade and we can enjoy her. But it happened like that.” He was really feeling very much happy that they could find lot of money also in that house.
Charakka looked at Evalla who sat in a corner, looking ahead with a blank expression in her face. She was just like that from the moment of her sister’s death and Charakka felt happy for that for one thing. If she was in her senses then, he knew how she would have behaved seeing those three rogues here.
“Whatever happened is happened! Whatever we may do, we cannot bring back the dead. Now we have to think about this girl. She is quite ripened and sooner or later she becomes a woman. We give everything she needs and you look after her carefully. Now all our hopes are pinned only on her.” Velapova said.
Charakka just wanted to kill those three then and there but he knew very well that would not work out. Those three were landlords, very rich people and they could influence anything.
“If this girl also is not as much beautiful as her mother, we would not have bothered this much! So get her out of her grief and make her a normal girl. If necessary take her to a doctor also. Looking after her and making her all normal is the only work you need to do Charakka and you need not do anything. We want her in good shape by the time she becomes a woman.” After few seconds pause Velapova said again.
“Who knows? She is already a woman. I am just having a feeling like that looking at her.” Puttipoma said.
“She is not a woman yet, I know about it.” Charakka said.
“How do you know about it? You already tried to fuck her?” Puttipoma said and the three of them burst into laughter on hearing that.
“May be she is a woman and this man is lying but it is not better to make her have it with us now.” Achamami said. “At present she is very much overwhelmed with grief and we have to give her sufficient time to become her normal self. If she does not agree to it then....” he paused and looked into the faces of the other two with a meaningful expression. “........we know what to do.”
Charakka’s palms were turned into fists, he gritted his teeth and put all his effort to remain calm.
“Alright Charakka, we go now.” Achamami got off from the chair he sat and the other two followed his suit. “We give enough money and look after her carefully. But don’t try to fuck her before we do that to her. It is we who have to do it first to her.”
Charakka once again put his all effort to remain calm. He just remained like that until the three of them went out of that house and then he looked into the corner of that room where Evalla sat.
“Eva, dear Eva!” he went near to her, took her both hands into his hands and squeezed them gently.
She looked into his face but there was no recognition in her eyes. It was just like she was in another world. “God did not come....god did not come....” she was mumbling. “Mom, worshipped him but he did not come.”
“Eva, be yourself. Come to your senses. There is no use in becoming like this.” Charakka squat before her and tears started flowing down on his cheeks.
“Okatho and me. Okatho my sister. I am OKatho now.”
It was still very much puzzling to Charakka how that fast change came into Okatho. How that fast she turned herself to Amsara? If she had turned towards Amsara a long time back, the situation on this day would have been different.
“We both talked together. Played together. But there is no Okatho now. Only I am.” Suddenly there was distress in her face but just in seconds that disappeared and brightness came into that “No, Okatho is here. I am Okatho. Okatho is in me. There is only Okatho now, no Evalla.”
Charakka did not know what to do and suddenly something struck him.
“We are going into that river bank now Evalla, where you and Okatho played everyday and where you both saw Pomya also.” He said but it was just like as if she did not hear anything. Charakka did not bother for a response, got off from the floor and got her up also. He has decided to take her to the river bank.
***
However moody he was and however much disturbing the present situation, when they both reached the river bank, Charakka could not remain without remembering how Evalla let him have her. It was not for her pleasure, he knew, all the time she thought to keep her promise. Even it was not for pleasure, he sensed pleasure in every fibre of her being while he was doing that to her. It was not full-fledged and he could not down his thing more than half because she was not a woman yet but the experience was so much enjoyable to him and he always would remember that.
“This is the place we three read the book written by that Michivako.” Showing a place there, Charakka said. “And those are the two rocks where you and your sister sat and talk hours together.” Charakka showed the big rocks yonder facing each other. “And you remember dear, this is the place where you made me do that to her. It was so much delicious, so much pleasure-some, do you remember that at all?”
