''I can understand! You already have one girl and boy and if this is also a girl it would be indeed an unnecessary burden to you." Puttipoma said. ''Your thinking to offering your pregnant wife to Amsara is a wise move. If she has been accepted by Amsara your family will become so rich in this village."
''But I don't know where to get the other necessary ingredients! Mavamavayi said it can be arranged without the other ingredients also but I want to make it full-fledged. But how can I ask any woman for menstrual blood and hair on her vagina? Not just that, they must be from two different women. Blood of a dead person also is an equally impossible thing!''
"Still you want it to be full-fledged and you know I can make it like that for you." Puttipoma laughed and said. "Alright we try. What's the loss?" he said and yelled for his wife and she came near to him. Then he asked her either she or his two daughters were in periods at that time after explaining the matter to her. It was not unusual making the offering of pregnant women to Amsara in that village and that women did not feel offensive or surprise at that at all.
"Neither my daughters nor me" that woman said. "But I am due in one or two days.''
''That's the matter. If you can wait two or so days, I can manage the menstrual blood for you and there is no problem for vaginal hair. My wife never bothers to shave that place and I can make her agree to part with some of that to you.'' That man said looking into the face of his wife.
That woman's cheeks were blushed on hearing that and she went away from that place.
"And we can manage blood of a dead man also. All we need is sometime." Then Puttipoma looked into the face of Inchuvario.
"There is not much time. It has to happen tomorrow itself." Suddenly with an anxious expression in his face Inchuvario said.
"Why this urgency? Is your wife going to deliver the baby just in one or two days?'' Puttipoma knitted his brows together.
''There is time of course to my wife to deliver the baby but .........'' Inchuvario stooped forward in the chair. ''That Mavamavayi's family is going to leave this village on tomorrow. He said so strictly that if I cannot get it done through him on tomorrow, I can never get it done by him because his family leaves the village on tomorrow itself.''
"I just cannot understand what you are saying!" suddenly there was a startling expression on the face of Puttipoma. ''That Mavamavayi took such a decision?"
''I too did not believe that immediately. Their family is in this village from the beginning and it is the only prostitute family. Very soon they can put their daughters into the trade. But he is so serious about it and I have to believe it.'' Inchuvario could not understand why that shocking expression in the face of Puttipoma.
"I have no doubt that Mavamavayi meant it.'' The sudden sharpness in the voice of Puttipoma surprised Inchuvario. "You don't feel any fear at all. I shall see that family would never leave this village." His voice was firm.
"Alright then" after taking some more time with that man Inchuvario left that place without knowing in how much of danger he put Mavamavayi's family. Anyhow he did not believe Puttipoma's words and wanted to complete his mission the day after that day itself with or without necessary ingredients.

"I am feeling very much sad that we have to go away from this place without you Charakka" Okatho said. ''You don't know how much I want you also with us.''
"I don't want to leave this village even with you also. I born here and grew up here. Even the villagers never respected me, this is a favourite place to me. Especially this river bank!" Evalla's face also was with full of sorrow. ''Moreover leaving this village without you, need I say how much pathetic that would be to me?''
