“But you are feeling fear that the villagers don’t let it happen. They have got vexed with me and eyed our both daughters now to have.” She looked into his face.
“You are absolutely right!” the fear in his father’s face increased even more. “If we don’t let them offer themselves, they gang-rape them. I don’t think these little girls can survive such a thing.”
“Those rascals don’t have any right to do such a thing! They must be hanged to think like that.” Her mother’s face was once again with full of anger.
“It is the popular opinion and unwritten law that women in the prostitutes’ family should lead lives as prostitutes. They don’t give us a change to live in a respectable way in this village.”
“Then we do go far away from this village where our daughters and I would not be compelled to lead lives as prostitutes.” With a sudden hope in her face her mother said. “The money we have so far will be enough to us to do that.”
“We can do it like that but you have forgotten about another thing.” The pathetic expression in his father’s face just so then also.
“Tell me what it is?” with mounting impatience in her, her mother almost yelled.
“You have forgotten about Amsara. Are you thinking that Amsara let us go like that and lead our lives in such a way? If its devotees changed the way of their thinking and go against its wishes, they do become its betrayers and it punishes them very severely.”
“Forget about Amsara and there is never such a thing!” her mother said seriously. “I never believed in Amsara and I never am a devotee of it. I am always fond of god and love to follow his ways and get his grace.”
Just moments before Charakka entered into that house and listening to their conversation. Charakka was a so intimate a person to that family and her parents did not mind continuing their conversation in his presence.
“I don’t mind that much you people want to go away and start lives in respectable way. But I really do mind your talking like that about Amasra. Amsara is much more dangerous than these villagers and it is not wise that your declaring he is not in existence at all.” Charakka said looking into the face of their mother.
“I do that hundred times without any fear.” Their mother said with the same serious expression in her face. “Anyhow Charakka I want you also come with us. Except us, you do have no other relatives. From the moment of your parents’ death ten years back, you have been with us and I want you with us from now also.”
“I cannot come like that.” Charakka sighed heavily. “I really do like to come and settle anywhere with you people in the world. But I cannot leave this village in such a way. I have been engaged in the service of some people here and I do lose that if I come with you. I am afraid that I may not get any work there and be a burden to you. ”
Both their parents looked into each other’s faces with dismal expressions. “We feel very unhappy to leave you here and go. But there is a point in what you said also.” Their mother said.
“But I wish you people all the best. I hope that you do start and continue your lives so happily and in a respectable way somewhere.” Charakka’s face was with full of sorrow and worry.
“Your sister and I do think about it and decide where to go and let you know about the place. Please come and visit on us.” Their father said.
“I certainly do that!” Charakka nodded his head and got off from the floor. “I am really shocked knowing about your decision. It will be really very hard on me to live without you people here. But I just cannot leave this village and come with you people.”
Their parents once again looked into each others’ faces but did not say anything.
“But it is very important that it would not be known into this village. Your family is the only family of prostitution in this village and the men in this village never let you do go away from here. It should be a top secret and you people do leave this village without raising anyone’s doubt.”
“You are absolutely right.” Their father nodded his head and said. “I do take every care that none of the villagers know about it. Anyhow we cannot do it immediately. We need to plan a lot to leave this village.”
After that, without talking anymore Charakka turned and came out of that house and Okatho and Evalla also followed him.
“You are not appearing happy after hearing my parents’ decision” looking into Charakka’s face, Okatho asked him. “You have been feeling very much worry that we do go away from here.”
“You are right of course. I feel very much worry without you people here.” Charakka said and sighed heavily before saying again. “But I am feeling fear also! I started to have a very much unknown fear after hearing your parents’ decision.” Charakka stopped and his face was fully expressing the fear he was feeling inside.
“You are feeling fear that the villagers don’t let us go, is it is not?” Okatho said. “Cannot we manage it without letting them know about our leaving this village at all?”
“We may or we may not, I am not sure about it.” Charakka said. “But I am feeling more fear to that Amsara than these villagers also. Your mother has been turned out such a non-devotee to him. Quite adventurously she declared he is non-existent! How Amsara is going to react to this I just don’t know. His punishing ways are very peculiar!”
The faces of both the sisters were filled with fear and they looked into each other’s faces.
“Alright. Once your parents took such a decision I am also helpless. What all I can do is; pray to Amsara not to punish your parents. But.....” he paused for a second looking into the face of Okatho. “...............one wish remained in me so strong.”
“Tell me. If it is in my power I certainly try to help you in fulfilling it.” With a sudden brightening expression in her face Okatho said.
“It is certainly in your power and you know about it also.” Charakka said with a hopeful expression in his face. “If you want you certainly can help me in fulfilling it.”
“You want to fuck me Charakka, is it is not?” with gathered frowns Okatho said. “From the moment I became a woman, this wish developed so strong in you.”
“You are absolutely right dear.” Charakka nodded his head. “You both sisters are just like flowers and so much beautiful! But you have been turned out as a woman also and I want so much to have you.”
“But I want to be a house lady and lead a respectable life! I cannot have it from anyone else except from my husband. Please pardon me.” After saying that without saying anything Okatho moved away from that place.
“Charakka why don’t you have it from me? I am also twelve years aged having as much body as my sister and as much beautiful as my sister?” looking into the face of Charakka, Evalla asked him.
“But you are not a woman yet darling. It does not give complete satisfaction to me and will be so much painful to you.” With a smile on his lips Charakka said.
“I don’t know all that Charakka” moving away from that place in the direction of her sister went Evalla said. “But I am ready to give to you if you want before we move away from this place.”
Then she did not look back and reached the place where she was expecting her sister to be. Okatho turned her head and looked at Evalla.
“You want to meet Pomya now also?” looking into the face of her sister Okatho, Evalla said.
“You guessed it right.” Okatho smiled. “And you also came here with the same wish, is it is not?”
“Of course, you are right.” Evalla nodded her head. “I also so much wish to talk with Pomya now.”
Evalla was silent as her mood was not good at that time. She did not like to leave the village whatever might be the reason behind it. She was throwing small stones into the lake on the bank of which they both sat on two stones.
“It seems you are very much upset by our parents’ decision. You don’t like to leave this village.” Breaking the silence Okatho said while looking at Evalla.
“I don’t like it. I born here and grew up here. I love this village.” Evalla said looking into the face of Okatho. “And Charakka made it clear that he cannot come with us. He is a very good friend to me and that is the another reason why I am upset.”
“Charakka is a good friend to me also and going away from here without him is upsetting me also very much.” Okatho turned the head towards the lake.
“That is why you denied his so earnest wish flatly like that!” with a sarcastic note in her voice Evalla said. “How much he is wishing to have it with you I can see in his face.”
“But Eva I want to fulfil mother’s wish. I want to lead a life of a respectable house wife and a house wife should be confined to her husband only for sex. Charakka is too much aged for me and I cannot marry him.” Without any regret and with firmness in her voice Okatho said once again looking into the face of Evalla.
“But mother is a housewife and is having it with others.”
“Mohter is doing that against her wish Eva.” Okatho said suddenly with a pathetic expression in her face. “The people in this village don’t let prostitutes lead respectable lives even after their marriage also. That is why mother wants to go away from here atleast to make us both lead respectable lives.”
“Why I am not feeling as mother and you do?” with surprise in her voice Evalla asked. “I just want to have it with more guys.”
“Don’t talk like that! Don’t you see how the villagers are considering us? We are worse than worms to them because our mother is a prostitute. Don’t ever think to lead life as a prostitute.” With a disgusting expression in her face Okatho said.
“I just don’t know why but I am feeling no objection to lead life as a prostitute sister.” Evalla said. “The idea of having it with more men is just quite thrilling to me. Moreover Pomya said prostitutes are as much important as other professionals to the village. You love her but why don’t you respect her words?”
“It is because of fate dear. If it has been decided in some other way we cannot think in any other way.”
They both turned their heads and found Pomya standing behind them. Both of them stood up and turned towards her. “Pomya” Okatho exclaimed.
Pomya, the sixty years or so aged lady by the time of her death, was just appearing to them so with white colour attire and white colour dress. There was always the calm expression and small smile on her lips.
“Yes, your favourite grandma Pomya” Pomya said.
“Sorry Pomya. I love you a lot. But I love my mother also. I want to respect words of my mother and lead life as a respectable house wife.” Okatho said with firmness in her voice.
“Fate dear. It is not the mistake of your mother or you.” Pomya sighed heavily.
“But I want to respect your words. I have no objection to lead life as a prostitute. Even I become a housewife, I accommodate more men.” Evalla said.
With a happy expression in her face Pomya looked at Evalla. “May Amsara satisfy with your decision and leave your family without punishing.” She said. “Your mother is behaving in a very wrong way! She not only just turned towards god but is blaming Amsara also. I just don’t know how the Amsara’s reaction is going to be.”
