Time passed just like that and generations after generations took place in Obbera village. Gradually except in Michivako’s family all the others who started prostitution profession were died with strange diseases. Then it has been understood in that village except the native prostitutes, no one should practice this profession. It has been announced in the village, except the native prostitutes if anyone else would practice prostitution they should be very stringently punished. Because of this the customers for Michivako’s posterity have increased even more and they became even more rich and famous. Everyone of them knew about Amsara and how much beneficial it would be to them if they were loyal to him and do the things with which he would be pleased. It has just gone like that until a sort of repugnance started in Michivako’s posterity towards prostitution and Amsara also.
By then some of the villagers in Obbera understood the dangers in unbridled sex and how wrong and sinful the incest is! Surprisingly among those some villagers, Michivako’s posterity also were. It continued for some generations like that but reached its motto with Vesavaviri who was the only daughter to her parents. Michivako’s posterity richness started dwindling from the time the people in his posterity started feeling disgust towards prostitution and Amsara and they became almost paupers by the time Vasavaviri questioning it.

The most difficult thing to Rose to do was to counselling the gang rape victims. Her blood would be just boiled whenever she thought about the gang-rape and she just did not how to give peace to the poor girl who was the victim to it. Hanging those bastard just right away might give some peace to the poor victims but it was never possible in such a way. After she started working in BAMC, she counselled and gave hypnotherapy to two or so unfortunate girls and however much she was struggling inside of her, so far her treatment was quite successful with them. But when Charles said about a girl who was gang-raped, the subsequent events and asked Rose to counsel her, she became just aghast!
“I just don’t know, don’t know what to say to this Charles! That girl has been forced to marry one of those three gang-rapists and now I am asked to give peace to her by counselling! Even I am not the victim, my blood is just boiling even by hearing this, cannot you understand how the girl’s situation is? Burning those bastards just before her eyes is the only thing which can give her some peace but nothing else. Instead of that.....” Rose was feeling too much angry to continue what she was saying.
“Rose, even I am not a woman, I can understand how her feeling would be after a gang-rape. It was in fact very much cruel to make her to marry one of them. But it has something that took place and cannot be changed. What all we can do is......”
“Shut up Charles, don’t talk like that!” Rose yelled loudly which startled Charles. “Don’t try to support her parents so. How they could make their daughter to do so? Why they did not file a police case against them? However much poor they may be, how they would be compromised with money like that? Cannot they understand their daughter’s feeling even a little?”
Charles did not know what to say, he leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.
“No, Charles. It is not possible to me. I cannot counsel that girl to forget everything and be peaceful. If you want, I shall persuade her parents to file a police complaint against those bastards atleast now.” By then, the anger in Rose subsided to some extent and some sort of reasoning took place in her.
“Alright Rose. Talk with them first. Then ask them to do whatever you think better.” Charles opened his eyes and nodded his head. “Your reputation is already far and wide Rose. People are thinking that you can solve all types of psychological problems. One of those people who have been so much impressed by you, recommended them to come here.”
“Enough Charles! Where are those guys anyhow?”
“Waiting in the visitors’ room. I shall send them to you whenever you want.”
“My whole morning is full of patients. I can see them only in the afternoon when I take my lunch and visit the patients.” Rose paused for a second. “But I don’t like to make these people wait that long.”
“They do wait, that is not a problem to them.” Charles said. “Her parents have come here with lot of hope on you Rose. They are thinking that you sure do can change her daughter’s mind.”
“I just hate myself even to think like that.” Rose got off from the chair in which she sat. “I let you know if any of my schedule patients are absent for today.”
Then she moved away from that place and Charles just remained staring at the way she has gone and her beauty has its effect in its usual way and he found his thing strongly erected.

“So you are the parents of that unfortunate girl. May I know your names?” looking at the parents of the gang-raped girl who sat before her in two chairs, Rose asked.
The second scheduled patient at Rose changed his time to one week after as he has to go somewhere suddenly. In his place Rose wanted to give the opportunity to gang-rape victim girl but first she wanted to talk with her parents.
“Yes, we both are.” That woman nodded her head. “My name is Babitha and his name Manohar.”
“It is you both who forced your daughter to marry one of those bastards who gang-raped her?” Rose was putting all her effort not to become emotional. “Against her will and wish?”
They both hung their heads and the woman said with a small voice. “Yes, we both did that.”
“From your husband’s side it may be little understandable but how could you do it like that?” Rose could not keep her voice smooth anymore. “Cannot you understand how a woman feels after a rape? Moreover your daughter was gang-raped by three bastards! Just because of the money they gave to you, you compromised yourselves so. Not just that you made her to marry one of those rogues. I can understand how much unbearable the poverty is! But it is never justifiable making a girl compromised like that against her feelings, emotions and rage.”
“We did not do that just for money. We felt more anger on those bastards than our girl also. But......” that woman perched her head up and looked into the face of Rose “..........what we do get just by getting them hanged or imprisoned for life time? Is it is not better to be compromised if leaving them scot-free not only gives life to our eldest daughter but provides means to the education of our other son and daughter also?”
“So, you are having two other children also beside this girl?” Rose knitted her brows together.
“Yes we have.” Babitha nodded her head. “I am feeling ashamed to say this and what type of opinion you do form on me as I am feeling in this way I don’t know but I want to express myself to you.” She was paused for a second as if she was struggling very much to say that “It is just like that my girl’s gang-rape solved all our problems. Not only our eldest daughter’s marriage was performed with a guy but we could get sufficient means for our other children welfare.”
Rose became aghast on hearing that. “I just don’t know how to take this!” with shock in her face she said. “It is just like that you were feeling happy as such a thing happened on your daughter.”
“We never mind even you say it like that” it was her husband Manohar who talked. “Yes, her gang-rape solved our problems.”
Rose sighed heavily, leaned back in the chairs and remained silent for few seconds. “Anyhow the present problem to you is; you have forced your eldest daughter, what’s her name?” suddenly Rose remembered that she did not ask for her name yet.
“Charita....” Babitha supplied the information.
“Okay, Charita. Anyhow the present problem is; you forced Charita to marry one of her gang-rapists and now she does not want to live along with him at all.”
“We did not force her to marry him.” It was Manohar. “When the fathers of the guys came forward with the proposal, she herself agreed to that.”
“Let me know how it has taken place from the beginning.”
“On one day my daughter went into a mango tope along with her friends and that tope belonged to one of her friends’ family. They used to do combined study in a small house in that mango tope. My daughter’s friends left that tope in the afternoon at three or so but my daughter wanted to stay in the tope for some more time and study. Then the guy who also belonged to the family of that tope’s owners came into the room along with his two friends in which our daughter is studying. Do I need to tell you the rest?”
“Please don’t” Rose nodded her head in negation. “They found her all alone, vulnerable and gang-raped her.”
“You are right, you are right!” that woman suddenly closed her face with her hands and burst into weeping. “We are the worst creatures on the earth. As we cannot look after our daughters, we have agreed to such a wretched thing! If it is not for our daughters, I would have killed those bastards.”
“Alright. I can understand.” Rose stooped forward and balanced her arms on the table in between. “Anyhow who is that guy came forward to marry your daughter? That guy to whose family that tope belongs?”
“No, he is another guy.” Manohar said. “He is the poor person among those three guys and living with his mother in a small house in our village. The fathers of the other two guys made him agree to marry our daughter besides providing sufficient means to our family.”
Babitha removed her hands from her face and looked into the face of Rose. “In fact among those three, he is little better. He did not want to rape my girl but the other two forced him to do that to her.”
“What happened next? Was your girl in a position to come home all by herself after that gang-rape?”
“No, of course.” Babitha said “One of her friends who was with her in the mango tope on that day suddenly wanted to ask something to our daughter and she phoned to her repeatedly. It rang, rang, rang but my daughter did not attend the call. Then that friend came to our home and learnt that my daughter did not come home yet. It has almost become night and we were also feeling anxious as she did not come home. When we along with her and two of her other friends who accompanied us on the way went into that house in the mango tope, those bastards were still having her. She fainted and not in her senses but those bastards were continuing what they had been doing till that moment.”
“Did you people try to catch those bastards and hand them over to the police?”
“We tried but they out-forced us and ran away from that place. Then we took our daughter to a doctor and the friends of our girls agreed to give evidence of that gang-rape on our daughter.”
“But when you try to lodge a complaint, the fathers’ of the guys came to you and compromised you with marriage of your daughter with one of those guys and sufficient money to look after your family necessities.” Once again Rose became angry.
