A romantic, paranormal and psychological thriller
Kotra Siva Rama Krishna
“It is not a dream that you have to feel shame or hate. Just you and your sister sat on the river bank and talked in yourselves. That Pomya told you what was going to happen in your future.....” and sudden a smile was forced onto the lips of Evalla. “.....and it has just come true. Unless my dad was Michivako and what Pomya said was true, why did you feel like that towards him?”
“That is what making me feel very much uneasy and disturbed mainly for two reasons.” The uneasiness in Evalla’s voice was increased even more.
“Can you explain to me those two reasons one after one?” Prameela one knitted her brows together.
“One, I just don’t know how I was attracted in those days towards Michivako and felt like that towards him but he was so much despicable person on the earth. He fucked the sister of his mother and his three-half sisters and.....”
“......kept the eldest sister of the three as his mistress, is it is not?”
“You are right. How anyone can feel love towards him? Thinking that Viswanadh was Michivako in one of his previous lives, I am feeling hate and disgust on him also.”
“My god! If you start feeling like that it indeed creates lots of problems.” With apprehension in her face Prameela said. “Please don’t entertain any such ideas. Even my dad was Michivako in one of his lives in the past, it is very long time back and he does not have any knowledge of it now. He despises incest as anyone else does. So please stop feeling like that towards him and love him in the same way you are doing.”
“Certainly I do try.” Evalla laughed. “Our seeing Pomya and the things she said on that day came true later on. Whether I agree that Viswanadh is like any other gentleman now, I must agree that he was Michivako otherwise why did I feel like that towards him on that day and wanted to marry only him? This was one thing came true out of what Pomya said. And my sister became the devotee of Amsara and wanted to get his grace just like Pomya said. How much she disgusted Amsara and his ways for a long time I cannot say.”
“What Pomya has said came true, what then?” Prameela was still looking into the face of Evalla with knitted brows.
“Our seeing Pomya and hearing her like that.” Evalla said. “Pomya was dead a long time back by then itself and she appeared like that only to few people who are liked by Amsara. Seeing the dead person like that is the proof that there is paranormal. If there is paranormal, why should not Amsara and Okatho also are there? And if Okatho is there, what is the surprise she is in my body and my problem is not just a psychological disorder.”suddenly her face was clouded with worry.
“You are thinking too much Evalla. For the last few days Okatho has not exposed in your body and you have been all normal. Just think that Okatho’s problem has been solved completely and be happy.” Prameela could not think of what else to say then.
“Just my believing like that and think so solve my problem in your opinion?” this time Evalla knitted her brows together.
“I just don’t know what to say to you Eva.” Sighing heavily Prameela said. “We did not try to make you disbelieve that there is no paranormal and you yourself have come to that decision. Now you yourself are talking as if there is paranormal what should I say?”
Evalla did not say anything, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes.
“You don’t want to believe that there is paranormal as you do want a quick relief from your problem. But the happenings so far in your life are not allowing you to disbelieve it comfortably. There is conflict in between these two points and you want a suggestion from me.”
“Exactly! You read my mind.” Evalla’s face was once again with happiness.
“Even it makes you feel happy that there is no paranormal and your problem is solvable just by some psychiatric treatment, I cannot do that. I just want to be frank with you.” Prameela paused for a moment.
“Here you and your dad are really puzzling me.” In that gap Evalla said. “You both did not believe in any paranormal until my problem started. Now you both do so strongly believe that there is paranormal.”
“The situations we have faced so far are like that. Moreover that great psychiatrist Shamooti also asserted it so.” Prameela said.
“You may have forgotten what that Dr.Rose said about that Sahamooti. He is a famous and skilful psychiatrist but does believe in unnecessary things like those.”
“Still you don’t want to believe in any paranormal and wants treatment in systematic and scientific way.”
“You are absolutely right.” Evalla said and nodded her head. “What if we go to that Dr.Rose, tell everything to her and take her opinion?”
“Without going to her also I can say what she would say.” Prameela laughed and said. “Anyhow presently there is no problem with you. If the problem arises again, then itself we do go to that Rose and she is always ready to help us.”
Evalla nodded her head as she like that suggestion.

Sailaja startled when phone call was intruded so suddenly while she was completely involved in a romantic movie! Some bedroom scene was going on between the hero and heroine and Sailaja was all absorbed in what she was watching. The urge was so much in her and she was becoming more and more impatient as there was no way to her to satisfy that. Even she could venture to satisfy with that Ratan, he was also not available presently. He and her brother both were went to the town to write some competitive exam.
It was an unknown number and Sailaja’s immediate idea was to cut it off. She wanted to press the red circle on the phone but inadvertently pressed the green and the other person came into the line. Then she put the phone into speaker and said ‘hello’ impatiently.
“You have registered your name in ‘Choose Your Mate’ website, are not you?”
Sailaja has become immediately alert on hearing that. It was with the advice of her best friend Madhuri she registered her name on that website. In that website girls and boys register their names and if they were liked by the people they get calls to spend time together. It was legitimate just from outside only. But beautiful girls who registered their names in that website would get calls from wealthy ones also and they could bargain with them too if they wanted. There was no necessity to them to agree with the man unless they wanted the price and the man.
“I am quite near to you. If you know how this website works, I need not explain anything to you.”
Sailaja was trying to guess the age of the man who was talking with her and could locate it between forty and fifty.
Immediately she turned the speaker off and put the cell phone at her right ear. “You need not explain. I know it. Before I agree with anything I have to like the price and you also.” She said with so low a voice just like a whisper.
“You mention the price and if the price is agreeable to you I send you my photo. If you like me.....” he stopped as if he need not say the rest.
That indeed put Sailaja into dilemma. She did not expect a situation like this she has to confront on that day. The present need of her is to satisfy her urge as fast as possible as it has become quite unbearable to her. But if it was possible to earn something also, why should she lose that opportunity?
“You are so much cute and I like you. I am not very much young but I can assure you that I do it with utmost expertise. What I just want from you is a quick response. Tell me, how much do you want?”
“One lakh rupees” it just slipped from her mouth and she wanted to make a bargain with him if he was not ready to pay that much. She was ready to go to him even for nothing if his appearance was good. But making her fully disappointed the call was cut off.
She felt so much anger on herself as she asked him that much. She immediately called on that number, she heard the ringing tone but her call was not attended. Once he heard her saying that much, he immediately would have changed his mind thinking she would not fit in his budget. That was why he was not trying to pick her call. What all she could do now was to blame herself.
She threw her phone aside, laid face down on the bed with lot of remorse in her heart and her body was with full urge and desire. Then she heard some ‘ting’ notification sound from her cell phone and she took it into her hands again so what that was. She heard such sounds intimating her lot of notifications all the time and this particular sound then did not make her particularly enthusiastic and it related to some whatsapp message. But when she opened the whatsapp message and looked at it, her heart beat increased to the maximum!
“Price okay! Payment via paytm. Come as fast as possible.” Along with the message, there was address and photo attached also. He was certainly forty years above but appearing robust and handsome! She remembered that commerce lecturer. If she was lucky, she sure would have the best experience this time also.
Then she looked at the address and irritated a little as it was little bit far from her home and no busses would go straight that way and she has to take an auto. She did the same after coming out of the house telling her mother who was present at that time in home that she was going to one of her friends. As it was not unusual that Sailaja go to her friends in such a way, her mother did not ask her any questions.
After getting into the auto Sailaja looked at the photo send to her by that man and her heart filled with a sort of thrill. Even it was not the first time, even she has ample experience previously just thinking to having it with another man was making her remember the pleasure she has with the commerce lecturer and was filling her heart with anticipation and thrill. Whether he would have been married and has children also or has children but widower or has remained unmarried till the moment having satisfied himself like this or his wife went somewhere along with children temporarily leaving him all alone in the house and he found her in the website! What exactly the position she could not be known until she reached the place and she was trying to control the pooling up excitement in her.
“Just stop here!” in the address he has given there was a super market nearby to his home and she did not want to go upto his home in the auto. Once the auto came to a full halt she alighted from it, paid the fare and send him away. It has not become difficult to her to find the house, it was a small one, doors closed nearby but probably latched from inside. She pressed on the calling bell which she found beside the doors and could hear a dog barking sound inside of the house and a smile was forced onto her lips when she understood it was the sound of the calling bell. Her mind was full of thoughts and excitement while she was waiting to those doors to be opened and making her startled they were opened at once and the man who saw her in the picture was revealed to her in full.
“You are prompt! Thank you. Please come inside.” The smile on his face was impressive and charming. Despite his bald head he was appearing handsome.
