“You are not in both places. It is my body in the place you are now. Just look yourself into this mirror and that confirms everything.” Then he put the hand mirror against her face.
She yelled once again and it made the few passengers in that bus to look at them with surprise once more. “Yes, its you! Its absolutely you!” The shiver in her voice was increased even more.
“Now do you believe that I did not imagine the whole thing? Our souls have been changed their places! Mine into yours and yours into mine.” he said and by that time he stopped feeling surprise and started thinking what has to be done.
“But...........but.............I just don’t know.............what we should do now?” her face was with complete shock and surprise and she was not able to understand anything still.
“Changing of our souls like this is not a dream but its a fact! We need to do lot of thinking together for our future actions. We need to alight from the bus in the next stop, go to some peaceful place and think about everything. Shocking and surprising ourselves is not going to solve anything.”
“As you said” Sameera nodded her head and her voice was very weak.

“How a phenomenon like this has happened I just cannot understand! Even in movies and books also I never came across something like this! How souls change bodies like this?” Sameera said.
As Pramod suggested, both of them were alighted from the bus in the coming stop. It was a town and without much difficulty they could find a park nearby and luckily they found a bench to sit and talk without any people around.
“I agree, just before going into sleep I thought how nice it would be if I become you. A handsome, young man! Just because of that this soul change could happen?” Sameera said again. By then she also assimilated whatever has taken place however much it was unbelievable to her.
“Might it happened like that just because..........” Pramod sighed heavily. “...............just before going into sleep, I also thought in the same way. How nice it would be if I become you. A beautiful and glamorous woman! As we both desired and wished so strongly in the same way at the same time to be the other person, the opposite sex, this phenomenon took place.”
“But I cannot go to my home with your body and you cannot go to my home with my body!” The gathered frowns were deepened even more on her forehead. “What should we do now?”
“To think about that particularly we both assembled here now.” Pramod paused for a second looking into her face straight. “Yes, you are absolutely right! We cannot go into our respective homes with different bodies. We would not be even allowed into our homes and no one does believe our story. The only present solution to our problem is; I do go to your home with your body and you have to go my home with my body.”
“But how can we manage in our homes without knowing anything about each other?” she said but some understanding has come into her also.
“Then we are going to be known about each other fully. You tell about your husband, your life there and the rest. I tell you about my life and the rest. Then it would not become that much difficult to us to manage ourselves in different homes.”
“Yes, it is appearing reasonable. For the present I too cannot see any other solution except that to our problem.” She said but once again frowns gathered on her forehead. “It may not be difficult to you to manage yourself in my home after knowing about me fully. But how can I manage myself as a bank manager? A lot need to be known to discharge duties as a bank manager.”
“That’s a problem I agree. But there is a solution to that problem also.” He smiled “Just tell the assistant manager Susmitha that you have got some problem with your memory and you needed her help in full. She sure would help you and you don’t face even a little problem then.”
“Alright” Sameera nodded her head still feeling uneasily at the idea to work in the bank.
“But there is a problem with that Susmitha. She has a problem with her husband and pestering me to have it with her. If anyone else in my place he would have because that Susmitha is a beautiful woman but I am not. It will be little cumbersome to you with her but presently I cannot see any other way to manage yourself in the bank.”
“My god! Really horrible!” Sameera nodded her head with a helpless expression. “But when there is no other way, what we can do? Alright I try to manage.”
“Now I tell you about my wife, about my home everything in detail. Listen carefully. If you face any problem, just phone to me and I sort that out.” It took nearly half an hour to him to explain everything about him to her. “In fact I attended a seminar and have been returning to my home. My home is not very far from here and you can go there by an auto. If you remember everything I said, it will not be difficult to manage yourself in my home and in the bank.”
Sameera nodded her head and said. “I have been returning from my parents’ home which is in the town of the bus-stop where I got into this bus. I need to go another ten kilometres to reach my home. In fact the next stop to this stop is my bus stop. I explain everything about myself to you. In your case it is not going to be as much difficult as to me.” Then the time she has taken to explain everything about herself to him was less than he took.
“Wonderful indeed! You are right. My position is not going to be as much difficult as yours.” Pramod said.
“Shall we start our respective journeys then? You to my home and I to your home with changed bodies?” Sameera got off from the bench and asked him.
“Absolutely! But for the convenience we both do one thing.” Pramod also got off from the bench he sat and said looking into her face. “We tell everyone that we have got a sudden memory problem and cannot remember everything in a clear way. Then the mistakes we do without knowledge about the other can be easily covered.”
“Wonderful idea indeed!” Sameera laughed but her laughter was not mellifluous as she was in the body of Pramod but just in seconds her face became serious and she asked with gathered frowns. “But how long it would be like this? When we can come into our respective bodies again?”
“I don’t have even a vaguest idea on that but I want to say something here.” Suddenly there came a fixed expression on Pramod’s face. “Both of us strongly desired and wished to be the opposite sex and god has given us a way to get it fulfilled. Without bothering how long we have to be in this way, we try to enjoy our present condition which we desired so much.”
“You are absolutely right!” the frowns gathered on her forehead were cleared.
“Now is the time to go to our respective destinations.” He started to move away from that place.
“Just a moment!” for the first time Sameera hold the hand of Pramod and stopped him. “We can visit each other’s homes and talk with each other. We can introduce ourselves as friends to our family.”
“I think there will be no problem.” After we seconds thinking Pramod said. “Susmitha quite often visits our home and my wife never misunderstood our relation. If your husband also doesn’t get suspicion on you...........”
“No chance at all.” Sameera laughed. “You just don’t know what a nice guy is my husband. You can know about him in full only after meeting with him.”
“Alright then. Now we proceed with our journey.” Pramod said.
Then they both moved away from that place.

The uneasy feeling in Pramod was increased more and more along with the thrill feeling while he was entering into the house of Sameera with her body. Even it was shocking, surprising and quite uncomfortable, he has the thrill feeling that he could be the opposite sex which he desired and wished to be for a long time. He has to be seen how he would be received in the house! Even Sameera said that the welcome would be great to him, he was still feeling quite uneasy.
“Mom, you came!” a one year aged girl came running to Pramod and enveloped his legs with both of her hands.
“Yes, I came my dear!” he took that small girl into his hands, heaved her up and kissed on her right cheek. “It seems that you thought of me a lot.”
“You are right. She thought about you a lot and has been worrying herself. But it is not your fault. You asked her a lot to come along with you but she did not agree.”
Pramod remained looking at that six feet tall figure who was talking with her then. Even he was aged ten years old to Sameera, he was appearing quite handsome! Except the point that he was a widower with a one year aged daughter, he was alright! A woman can be happy with him on the bed also.
“Still I should not have gone like that without her.” Considering him in the same way she said. “How is everything with you? Is everything comfortable?” she put that girl on the floor there and came near to him. “Rajani is a very naughty girl and she would have put you to lot of trouble in these two days or so.” Sameera told him about her step daughter also in full.
