It has indeed become a difficult thing and everyday hell to Vesavaviri to accommodate the men who were coming to her and as she has to suffer that much with outsiders like that, it has become almost nil between her and Mavamavayi even they both have become man and wife. After three or four months of their marriage Palamavi died and Mavamavayi depressed even more but thought that her mother could escape the hell. As it was like that Vesavaviri suddenly became pregnant.
“Just think in a careful way! So far we understood that we cannot escape from this hellhole. Atleast if we become rich, the situation would be somehow better and we can have some control over things. Just agree to offer yourself to Amsara and Amsara is very much fond of pregnant women.”
For a long time Mavamavayi was trying to make Vesavaviri to follow the way of Amsara and when she became pregnant also, he put this proposal before her.
“Never, never I will agree to offer my child to that Amsara. I am very much fond of it and I just cannot even think of losing it.” With firmness Vesavaviri said. “How many times I told you that I don’t like that bad god and never follows its path?”
“For what? Only to make it another prostitute if it is a girl or a pimp like me if it is a boy? Is death not better than a life like us? If Amsara accepted you and has it with you, we will be blessed with lot of richness and there are chances that our baby also survives. You just don’t know how lucky the baby would be if it survives the sexual intercourse of Amsara.”
Vesavaviri remained silent as what he said put her into thinking. One thing was true; death in the womb itself is better whether it was a girl or boy rather than living in a family like this with utter poverty. There might be a chance to them to escape from this life if they have been awarded with richness with Amsara’s grace.
“Once we have provided with richness by Amsara, we may stop living like this and go far away from here.” Mavamavayi could understand the change that was coming in Vesavaviri and looking keenly into her face he further said.
“But you know very well that only few pregnant among those who offered themselves to Amsara will be accepted by him.” She said but by then itself she came to the determination.
“Even it is so, there is no problem. Nothing happens to the pregnancy of the woman if she has not been accepted by Amsara. Then both you and your child also will be safe.” Mavamavayi said. “But I am sure Amsara accepts you if you offer yourself to him and the baby also survives.”
There were no boundaries to Mavamavayi’s happiness when Vesavaviri nodded her head in agreement.
“I may lose my pregnancy if I have it with men now also.”Vesavaviri’s face was with full of apprehension. “Then your purpose also will not be served.”
“You are right!” Mavamavayi nodded his head.
But he knew it would be very difficult to stop the men for coming to her as they were so much accustomed to have it from her. It has just proved like that and all the men became so much angry with him when he announced his decision. But Mavamavayi was firm in his decision and he made it quite clear to all those people that there would be no chance to them to have Mavamavayi until she completed her offering to Amsara.
Vesavaviri and Mavamavayi did not know how they could ward off all the men but Vesavaviri could manage without having it with anyone including her husband. Mavamavayi fixed the afternoon of a particular day for the offering of Vesavaviri to Amsara. On the morning of that day he went to the river bank where he was often meeting with Pomya and talked with her.
“You need no doubt at all. Amsara certainly accepts the offering of Vesavaviri and I am confident that baby also survives. But Vesavaviri still is not feeling respect and love on Amsara. That is not good.” Pomya said.
“What should I do? I am always trying to make her feel love and respect on that god but she cannot.” With a worrying expression in his face Mavamavayi said.
“Alright then. Once the offering is successful, Amsara takes care of that. He creates love and affection in her.” Pomya sighed heavily and said. “Anyhow do you know the ingredients need to be offered before Vesavaviri offering herself to Amsara?”
“I read about them in the book written by Michivako. Menstrual mess, hair on vagina, blood of the dead man should be offered to him placing them in an iron plate. The hair on Vaginal also must be from an outside person. I am not sure where to get them.” The worrying expression in the face of Mavamavayi was thickened even more.
“Amsara shows you a way to that also. Everything shall be arranged all by itself. Just go home peacefully and prepare Vesavaviri mentally to that grand thing.” After saying that Pomya disappeared.
Mavamavayi sighed heavily, turned back and started walking towards his home. He knew talking with Pomya would give more confidence and courage and it just happened like that.
“Mava, just a moment!” Mavamavayi stopped suddenly on the track when he heard of that voice. One of the men, Ajaneevo, who occasionally came to Vesavaviri for that came near to him and said “It is very long time we have been prevented from having your wife. When she is going to offer herself to Amsara?”
“I have not fixed a day for it yet” Mavamavayi felt fear if he said he fixed the afternoon of that day itself for it, that man might say that he would come for it on the night of that day. “Anyhow I am thinking that it is better to her not having it until she gives birth to the baby.”
“I really appreciates that decision! If she does not give birth to a girl baby, where from come the future prostitutes to this village.” That villager laughed.
“That baby may be turned out to be a boy also.” Mavamavayi irritatingly said.
“Then he will become an efficient pimp like you no problem.” That man sighed heavily and said again. “My intention is different for asking you like this. I think some special ingredients also have to be offered with the pregnant woman to Amsara, what are they? I heard about them but forgot.”
“Menustrual blood, vaginal hair and blood of a dead person. These three must be from three different people and should not be from the pregnant woman offering herself and should be offered to Amsara in an iron plate along with the pregnant woman on the cot.” Still thinking why that man was worrying about it so, Mavamavayi said.
“You don’t worry about them at all. I make arrangements for them to you by the time when you want to arrange the offering of your wife to Amsara but you need to do some help for me.” With a pleading expression in his face, Ajaneevo said.
“What is that?” Mavamavayi knitted his brows together but by then he understood what Ajaneevo wanted to ask him.
“My wife is pregnant for the fourth time and we have no objection even we have to lose this pregnancy. We both are very much interested in making the offering of my wife to Amsara now. You know how to make this offering and you helped some women also, will you please help me?”
“I do that. There is no problem to me in helping you so.” Suddenly with a hope filled heart Mavamavayi said. “But can you arrange those necessary ingredients for the offering of my wife to Amsara?”
“At anytime you want, I certainly can arrange those things for you. Just let me know little before the offering that is enough.” There was firmness and confidence in the voice of Ajaneevo.
“To be frank my wife is offering herself to Amsara on this afternoon itself. Can you arrange those things to me by then?”
“It is rather sudden.” It appeared so that Ajaneevo did not feel much as Mavamavayi lied him so about the offering but there was a troubling expression in his face but it cleared just in few seconds. “You just go home and prepare yourself with everything. Just by the time of offering, I come there with the necessary ingredients, I promise that to you.”
With a hopeful expression Mavamavayi thanked him and came to his home. He read that book many a time and it was so clear in that what has to be done by a pregnant woman before she offering herself to Amsara and he helped some women to offer themselves to Amsara but it did not work. It was just afternoon by the time he finished all that and Vesavaviri was ready to offer herself to Amsara. Both Mavamavayi and Vesavaviri were waiting very eagerly for those necessary ingredients.
“It is just because of Amsara’s grace I could manage to get these.” Just then Ajaneevo entered into that home. “This vaginal hair is my wife’s and the menstrual mess is my sister’s. I was quite lucky that I found a dead body about to be buried in the burial ground just one thousand rupees made them agreed to part with some of the blood of that dead man. This iron plate is new and I bought it on the way.” He said.
“Thank you very much!” with a grateful expression in his face Mavamavayi said.
“You need not thank me, just help me in offering my wife to Amsara.” Looking pleadingly into the face of Mavamavayi, Ajaneevo said.
“The main condition for any pregnant woman to offer herself to Amsara is; she should not have it with any guy including her husband one month prior to offer herself to Amsara. Start not to have it from your wife for one month full and the next day I make arrangements for her offering to Amsara.” Looking assuredly into the face of Ajaneevo, Mavamavayi said what he was feeling in his heart then.
“It is indeed difficult to me not to have it like that for one month but I do.” Ajaneevo said. “But I do that only with the hope that you help me in it. Just remember how difficult it is to me to maintain celibacy as your wife also is not available to me until her delivery is over.”
“You are absolutely right, I agree.” Mamavayi nodded his head. “Now you may please go. While the pregnant woman offering herself to Amsara, no one should be with her. She must be all alone and all the doors of the house should be left open. After making my wife offer herself to Amsara, I also come out of the house.”
“Okay then.” Ajaneevo nodded his head and went away from that place.
“Shall we start the necessary thing now?”
Hearing that voice Mavamavayi turned back and found Vesavaviri there. From the morning of that day she was absolutely naked as she has to do all those things to Amsara absolutely naked. As most of the men who came to her wanted her nude like that, she stopped feeling shame to her nudeness but behind a pillar while Mavamavayi and Ajaneevo were talking.
