"Mom called again" Charitha said without turning back and without looking into the face of Prameela. She knew if she looked into the face of Prameela then Prameela could understand the untold appeal in her face and even she quite joyfully would advance some more amount, Charitha could not take the same. She just could not! But could she remain without taking that considering the situation at her home? As there was no response from her behind, Charitha turned back and as she guessed Prameela stood there with a smile on her lips and her smart-phone in her hands.

"You just feel relaxed! I transferred some ten thousand rupees into your mom's account." The smile was just so on her lips.

"Who asked you to transfer amount like that?" there was an instant angry expression on the face of Charitha but the inner feeling of her was absolutely different. This was what she absolutely intended that Prameela should do but could not ask. "How many times you send money like this? Why you are making me more and more indebted to you?"

Charitha's father did not like Prameela much as such Prameela took Charitha's mother's bank account to transfer money like that every time. It was indeed very much difficult to Charita to accept help like that from Pameela every now and then, even though it was true that she helped her while their studying together in high school, junior college and degree college and her family also was very well knew about her. From the very beginning even though not as much as Charita, Prameela was attractive and youthful and wanted to act in movies. She was quite lucky that she could get the acquaintance of one popular camara man while she was trying for roles and he became her good friend and lover also later on and got her good characters in some movies. Even Prameela could not become a popular heroine, now and then she could get heroine characters in small movies and was having comfortable income so far. She bought a flat in the film city in which Charitha and herself have been living while Prameela was acting in movies and Charitha was doing a small job. Whenever Prameela has to go out of station due to her acting work, Charitha would be all alone in that flat.

"If you use the word 'indebted' once again I kill you on the spot." Prameela pretended an angry expression in her face. "Are you thinking that it is possible to me to forget the help you did to me while we were studying? Ever you let me even ask the help to you? Even before I said about my predicament to you, you used to help me and never gave me a chance to repay you in those days. I am just feeling so happy that I can be helpful to you now."

"But how long this is going to be so?" Charitha threw the cell phone in her hands onto the nearby table before slumping herself in the sofa there. "Dad has to resign to the job due to his ill health and brother and sister are still studying. Dad has to undergo that surgery and in addition to these mom's health problems and her medical expenditure. The salary I have been getting doing that blasted secretary job is not enough to cover even my expenses. If you don't help me in this way, what should happen to me and my family?" Charitha said looking at the side of Prameela.

"Relax dear! Relax! Good days do come in your life also. What all you need to do is to have some patience. I am sure you do get a very good job in future." Prameela also slumped on the side of her and said.

"I am not thinking like that!" Charitha nodded her head in negation with a disappointing expression in her face. "Shorthand is replaced by so many advanced techniques and no one wants to use stenographers. Now a day everyone does have that much of computer knowledge which I have. It will be a great thing if the company I am working now does not try to remove me."
