Predicament of a Girl
A romantic and sentimental thriller
Kotra Siva Rama Krishna
“I am sorry.” There was an instant sorrowful expression in the face of that lady. “Will you make the payment now itself? No receipt will be given.” It was just like she still could not believe what Tarang has said.
“I am not a fool to expect receipt here.” Tarang said.
“Do you know Telugu?” that woman surprisingly asked him.
“My mother tongue is Telugu. I born and brought up in that state. Later on I came here, started business here and settled here. I know both Telugu and Tamil well.” Paying the money to that lady Tarang said in Tamil.
“Then it is for your advantage! She is Telugu and you both can talk also together.” While Tarang was making payment of that heavy amount, that lady said and instantly there was happiness in the face of Tarang.
“Cut......cut......” Madhukar said. He has become the director of the movie as Tarang has become the actor in it then. “Just wonderful! Just in half an hour we shall move to the next scene.”
It all has been started in the usual fashion and Madhukar shouted ‘Action’
The scene started as if Tarang and Charitha had it together and while Charitha was adjusting her dressing, Tarang went near to the wall on the bed and leaned on it with a deep pathetic expression on his face.
“Why......why you are suddenly so?” Charitha went near to him, slumped on the side of him and put her hand around his shoulders. “Is something wrong?” in fact there was little conversation between them both while they were having it together.
“It is just one month back that my wife expired!” he opened his eyes and looked into the face of Charitha. There was full sorrow in his eyes also. “I just cannot manage myself without having it.”
She also went near to the wall there and leaned on it on the side of him. “You loved your wife a lot it seems.”
“Yes, ours is not a love marriage but we loved each other a lot. No one ever can love me like that and I loved her also just in the same way. The only worry for us both is we did not have children even after three years of marriage.”
“You both used to have it together quite often?” Charitha knitted her brows together.
“Almost everyday!” he laughed. “She wanted children so much! So she made me to have as many times as possible with her and she also enjoyed it a lot.”
“How she died?”
“She died in an accident! While she was crossing a road a car hit her and she died on the spot.”
“My god! What a ghastly thing happened? I am really and absolutely sorry.” With shock in her face Charitha said. “Losing a loved one like that is indeed terrible and intolerable.”
Tarang did not say anything but closed his eyes with the same pathetic expression in his face. Charitha too did not know what to say and remained silent.
“Not even one month fully passed! I came here like that for it forgetting her. What type of husband I am? I really never loved her and I never deserved that much of love from her. It was only sex that I wanted from her all the time.” Suddenly he broke that silence and said.
“If it were so.........” she smiled and said. “.............why you do worry like this? You would have gone away from this place after having it with me planning yourself when to come here next time.”
He knitted his brows together as if he did not understand what she said.
“You loved her a lot and still you are in love with her. Finding someone to satisfy your physical need does not mean you don’t love her. You did not stop eating, you did not stop drinking water, it is just like that. You try to understand and be peaceful. Wherever it may be, your wife’s happiness is in your happiness. If you do feel worry like this, she cannot be peaceful.”
“I just don’t know.........I just don’t know what to say.” Suddenly there was some happy expression in his face. “........but your words are giving me some peace.”
“So far in my stay here............” she put her right hand across his heart and said. “..........I came to know how much important it is for men sometimes. You just cannot believe but sometimes I do feel happy and proud to satisfy that urge of men.”
“It is indeed surprising to me!” there was sudden surprise expression in his face.
Charitha was about to say something but then they heard the tapping sound on the doors of that room.
“There may be another customer for me. You do go and come another time.”
“I do come next time only to talk with you.” Tarang got off from the bed.
“Cut......cut.......” Madhukar shouted. “I think that this scene also does not need reshooting.”
***
“Rascal.......scoundrel..........why did you allow anyone to do that to you without having it?” early in the morning there was an assembly in the hall and the lady was quarrelling with a girl there. “You did not even take a tablet to prevent this!”
“What happened?” looking into the face of Prameela, Charitha asked her as if she still could not understand Tamil.
“That girl has allowed someone to do that to her without condom and did not take a tab either afterwards. Now she is pregnant!”
“My god!” Charitha whispered.
“I want to become a mother, I just want to become a mother.” That girl also suddenly shouted. “It does not matter who is the father of the baby but I just want to become a mother so I let him do that so. Why do I take a tablet also when I want to have a baby?”
That lady immediately slapped that girl with her right hand on her right cheek and said. “This is not new here and I know how to get rid of that. I not only make you get rid of that but get you operated so there would no pregnancies to you again. I can manage all this just in one month.”
That girl cupped her face in her hands and slumped on the floor there weeping loudly.
“Don’t hope that I would not send customers before all that happens. If someone fucks you hard, your so much cherishing child dies then itself and it solves half the problem.” Suddenly there was a sadistic and cruel expression on the face of that lady.
“All of you remember! If any of you plan like this, it will be to your peril. Customers don’t leave you then also and in no time I plan for the abortions and operations.” That lady looked into the faces of girls there with a warning expression and they hung their heads as if they did not want to show the fear in their faces to her.
“Sometimes customers want to fuck us without a condom also and that lady charges something extra for it. But we need to take a tablet immediately after that.” After explaining everything in Telugu to Charitha once they came into Charitha’s room, Prameela said. “Namita not only let that guy fuck her without a condom but got pregnancy like that. It is indeed odd that she wants to become mother now also. How does a prostitute wishes to become a mother?”
“Why does not a prostitute wish to become a mother?” Charitha knitted her brows together.
“Then whom she shows as the father of the child?” Prameela also knitted her brows. “Then how the child feels knowing that it is a bastard?”
“Then the prostitutes do remain without having children all their life? Is it is the gift they do have for the great service they are doing to the humanity?” with the same serious expression in her face, Charitha asked her.
“You are thinking what we are doing is a great service?” there was surprising expression in the face of Prameela.
“Is it is not so then?” Charitha paused for a second as if to reiterate whatever she was going to say. “We are not only helping the unfortunate men to satisfy their uncontrollable urge but we are preventing rapes. More than half of the rapes in the world are because the men don’t know where and how to satisfy their uncontrollable urge.”
“Its seems you came to know many a thing after coming here.” With an odd expression in her face, Prameela said.
“Of course, I am.” Charitha nodded her head. “The men who are coming to us to have it are not bad men. They are just trying to find out a way to satisfy their urge. I just see happy and satisfying expressions in their faces once I cooperate with them in the way they want.”
“I just don’t know.” With a pathetic expression in her face Prameela said. “I just give my body as long as they want but never put my mind to think about it.”
“Then just do it. Put your mind on it.” Charitha said “Try to change your ideology also. Once there is a mother to look after a child carefully and affectionately, why there should be a father also to it? A prostitute can cater any number of men but should not she have a child of her own through one of them? Why a child should be considered menial just because it does not know who its father is? In fact when a single mother brought up a child with care and affection and made it a responsible citizen, that person has to be considered more dignified and has been given more value than the other citizens also. So a prostitute has every right to have child of her own even without knowing who is its father.”
“Even what you have said is appearing odd; I can say there is a point.” With thinking expression in her face, Prameela said. “I sure do think about it.”
“Please do that.” With pleading expression in her face Charitha said “It is just because I am planning a mission and I want your help completely for it.”
“Tell me, what is that mission?” suddenly the expression in the face of Prameela turned curious.
“First put your mind and think about it. Realise yourself that we are doing a service to the humanity but not a wrong thing. Not just that a prostitute can have children without a father to it but she has an equal right to marry, run a family with children. She has more right than any other woman to lead a dignified and decent life as she is doing a great service.”
“Even what you have said is absolutely reasonable, I am not thinking that it is possible to make it all practical.” There was sudden apprehension in the face of Prameela.
“It is possible. It is certainly possible. Great things have happened in this world with the whole hearted efforts of just one or two individuals. We too can get successes if we really do want change and put effort.” With a smile on her lips, Charitha said. “Just put your mind and think about. I need your help a lot to put myself into the mission I am thinking.”
That scene came to an end with satisfying expressions of both Tarang and Madhukar also.
