But Michivako, that dirty scoundrel! How she could like him and attracted towards him at one time in her life, Evalla could not understand now at all. Michivako was a person who has no moral conscience at all and has sexual intercourse with the sister of his own mother, fucked his three half-sisters and kept the eldest one of them as his mistress! How she has been attracted to such a person and she was becoming angry on herself for her feeling towards him at one time. If her feeling towards Viswanadh was only because he was Michivako in one of his previous lives, she was feeling disgust and hate on him also.
It was afternoon time of a Sunday and she got that dream after taking her meals and lying on the bed. Once she woke up, she became so much restless and could not remain anymore on the bed. Quite impatiently she came out of her room and accosted Prameela at the doorsill itself.
“I am happy that you are in the home itself!” Evalla’s face was brightened with happiness. “I am just looking for someone to share my feelings.”
“I am also just in the search of someone to time-pass and you know to your husband and my would be husband there are no Sundays and they would be put themselves into work everyday. Come, we sit in your room and talk there. It just serves the purpose of us both.” Prameela said trying to enter into the room of Evalla.
“Not in my room. I am just vexed spending all the time in my room. We both sit in the hall and talk there.” Evalla said and Prameela did not see any objection to it.

“Now pour your heart and tell me every feeling of yours. Your best friend is here to hear all that and give you best suggestions.” Once they both were settled in the side by side chairs in the hall, Prameela laughed and said.
“I got another dream making me remember some of my past.” Evalla said. “After having it I was disturbed.”
“Certainly everyone has a past and you also have a past. It is abnormal forgetting that past completely so but not remembering it somehow or other. You just have to feel happy that you are remembering your past incidents so and in my opinion sooner or later you would be completely acquainted with your past.” Prameela said.
“If my past is just like the past of everyone else, what you have said is true. I sure do feel happy to remember that. But I just cannot feel like that because the daughter of a prostitute’s past is not going to be glorious!” Evalla’s face was with full of uneasiness.
“Prostitutes are not that much despicable things on earth as they also play an important role to satisfy the urge of some unfortunate male. They are quite better than those criminals who commit such untellable crimes everyday in the society. Anyhow I don’t encourage prostitution and never ask anyone to do that but you stop feeling like that and bravely tell me what that past you remembered just now.”
Then in a measured tone Evalla told her the dream she got and until she finished, Prameela did not disturb her at all.
“It is not a dream that you have to feel shame or hate. Just you and your sister sat on the river bank and talked in yourselves. That Pomya told you what was going to happen in your future.....” and sudden a smile was forced onto the lips of Evalla. “.....and it has just come true. Unless my dad was Michivako and what Pomya said was true, why did you feel like that towards him?”
“That is what making me feel very much uneasy and disturbed mainly for two reasons.” The uneasiness in Evalla’s voice was increased even more.
“Can you explain to me those two reasons one after one?” Prameela one knitted her brows together.
“One, I just don’t know how I was attracted in those days towards Michivako and felt like that towards him but he was so much despicable person on the earth. He fucked the sister of his mother and his three-half sisters and.....”
“......kept the eldest sister of the three as his mistress, is it is not?”
“You are right. How anyone can feel love towards him? Thinking that Viswanadh was Michivako in one of his previous lives, I am feeling hate and disgust on him also.”
“My god! If you start feeling like that it indeed creates lots of problems.” With apprehension in her face Prameela said. “Please don’t entertain any such ideas. Even my dad was Michivako in one of his lives in the past, it is very long time back and he does not have any knowledge of it now. He despises incest as anyone else does. So please stop feeling like that towards him and love him in the same way you are doing.”
“Certainly I do try.” Evalla laughed. “Our seeing Pomya and the things she said on that day came true later on. Whether I agree that Viswanadh is like any other gentleman now, I must agree that he was Michivako otherwise why did I feel like that towards him on that day and wanted to marry only him? This was one thing came true out of what Pomya said. And my sister became the devotee of Amsara and wanted to get his grace just like Pomya said. How much she disgusted Amsara and his ways for a long time I cannot say.”
“What Pomya has said came true, what then?” Prameela was still looking into the face of Evalla with knitted brows.
“Our seeing Pomya and hearing her like that.” Evalla said. “Pomya was dead a long time back by then itself and she appeared like that only to few people who are liked by Amsara. Seeing the dead person like that is the proof that there is paranormal. If there is paranormal, why should not Amsara and Okatho also are there? And if Okatho is there, what is the surprise she is in my body and my problem is not just a psychological disorder.”suddenly her face was clouded with worry.
“You are thinking too much Evalla. For the last few days Okatho has not exposed in your body and you have been all normal. Just think that Okatho’s problem has been solved completely and be happy.” Prameela could not think of what else to say then.
“Just my believing like that and think so solve my problem in your opinion?” this time Evalla knitted her brows together.
“I just don’t know what to say to you Eva.” Sighing heavily Prameela said. “We did not try to make you disbelieve that there is no paranormal and you yourself have come to that decision. Now you yourself are talking as if there is paranormal what should I say?”
Evalla did not say anything, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes.
“You don’t want to believe that there is paranormal as you do want a quick relief from your problem. But the happenings so far in your life are not allowing you to disbelieve it comfortably. There is conflict in between these two points and you want a suggestion from me.”
“Exactly! You read my mind.” Evalla’s face was once again with happiness.
“Even it makes you feel happy that there is no paranormal and your problem is solvable just by some psychiatric treatment, I cannot do that. I just want to be frank with you.” Prameela paused for a moment.
“Here you and your dad are really puzzling me.” In that gap Evalla said. “You both did not believe in any paranormal until my problem started. Now you both do so strongly believe that there is paranormal.”
“The situations we have faced so far are like that. Moreover that great psychiatrist Shamooti also asserted it so.” Prameela said.
“You may have forgotten what that Dr.Rose said about that Sahamooti. He is a famous and skilful psychiatrist but does believe in unnecessary things like those.”
“Still you don’t want to believe in any paranormal and wants treatment in systematic and scientific way.”
“You are absolutely right.” Evalla said and nodded her head. “What if we go to that Dr.Rose, tell everything to her and take her opinion?”
“Without going to her also I can say what she would say.” Prameela laughed and said. “Anyhow presently there is no problem with you. If the problem arises again, then itself we do go to that Rose and she is always ready to help us.”
Evalla nodded her head as she like that suggestion.

Sailaja startled when phone call was intruded so suddenly while she was completely involved in a romantic movie! Some bedroom scene was going on between the hero and heroine and Sailaja was all absorbed in what she was watching. The urge was so much in her and she was becoming more and more impatient as there was no way to her to satisfy that. Even she could venture to satisfy with that Ratan, he was also not available presently. He and her brother both were went to the town to write some competitive exam.
It was an unknown number and Sailaja’s immediate idea was to cut it off. She wanted to press the red circle on the phone but inadvertently pressed the green and the other person came into the line. Then she put the phone into speaker and said ‘hello’ impatiently.
“You have registered your name in ‘Choose Your Mate’ website, are not you?”
Sailaja has become immediately alert on hearing that. It was with the advice of her best friend Madhuri she registered her name on that website. In that website girls and boys register their names and if they were liked by the people they get calls to spend time together. It was legitimate just from outside only. But beautiful girls who registered their names in that website would get calls from wealthy ones also and they could bargain with them too if they wanted. There was no necessity to them to agree with the man unless they wanted the price and the man.
“I am quite near to you. If you know how this website works, I need not explain anything to you.”
Sailaja was trying to guess the age of the man who was talking with her and could locate it between forty and fifty.
Immediately she turned the speaker off and put the cell phone at her right ear. “You need not explain. I know it. Before I agree with anything I have to like the price and you also.” She said with so low a voice just like a whisper.
“You mention the price and if the price is agreeable to you I send you my photo. If you like me.....” he stopped as if he need not say the rest.
That indeed put Sailaja into dilemma. She did not expect a situation like this she has to confront on that day. The present need of her is to satisfy her urge as fast as possible as it has become quite unbearable to her. But if it was possible to earn something also, why should she lose that opportunity?
“You are so much cute and I like you. I am not very much young but I can assure you that I do it with utmost expertise. What I just want from you is a quick response. Tell me, how much do you want?”
“One lakh rupees” it just slipped from her mouth and she wanted to make a bargain with him if he was not ready to pay that much. She was ready to go to him even for nothing if his appearance was good. But making her fully disappointed the call was cut off.
