"I did not expect at all that this village is this much far!" Prameela exclaimed when they entered into the village of Obbera after their four days full journey. They covered the distance by flight, train, bus and ultimately in a cab to go into that village. "Can we expect your house would be in a condition that we can stay?"

"That house is now with all the facilities that you people can stay as long as you want."

The five of them turned their heads towards the voice that came and found a six feet height man with muscles, with a cleanly shaved head and a smile on his face.

"Charakka Champarpole!" Evalla exclaimed, went near to him, put her hands around his neck before kissing on his right cheek. "Where you have been all these days after making me forget everything!"

"Yes, this is the man I saw on that day!" Viswanadh also exclaimed. "He came across to my car on that lonely road and I still can remember what he said."

"Everything is out of necessity! You all have strained a lot and need rest and can get that in the wonderful abode of Evalla's." After saying so he moved away from that place.

Viswanadh, Evalla, Prameela, sadan and Yamuna just followed him until they reached into the house of Evalla in which at one time she lived with her parents, her sister Okatho and Charakka Champarpole.

"Just all you look at the idol of Amsara, the snakehead god and so much powerful! I am having a feeling in me looking at him which I cannot explain in my words. Here, before this god, my dad made pregnant woman offered themselves to him. Here, before this god, my mom also offered herself while she was pregnant and accepted by Amsara!" Evalla paused for a second before saying again. "And gang-raped by those three bastards as soon as her offering was over."

"Now I am helping the pregnant women to offer themselves to Amsara here." Charakka said as if to change the mood there. "Out of so many only few of them were worked out but the women have to lose their pregnancies."

Viswanadh and Evalla felt anxious when he said it like that and looked into each other's faces.

"You both need not feel fear like that." Charakka remembered what mistake he did. "Just remember Okatho's case. She survived the fucking of Amsara and took birth. With the grace of Amsara, it may be just so for Evalla also."

Viswanadh and Evalla both sighed heavily on hearing that. "We just hope it to be so." Evalla said and then looked into the face of Charakka. "I don't want much delay in this regard. How fast you can make arrangements for my offering?"

"Tomorrow itself. After collecting everything necessary, we may probably can start it in the afternoon of tomorrow and you can make your offering in the night. I know every tiny detail of it and explain that to you."

"This day I want to go to that river bank on which my sister and I used to spend time so happily. I may meet Pomya also and talk with her." Evalla said.

"If you have no objection I do also want to come with you." Charakka said.

"I don't want anyone come with me." Evalla said with firmness. "If any of you come with me, Pomya may not appear to me at all. I want very much to talk with her now."

"So you are the Michivako, the great, great grandfather of Evalla." Charakka said and he has shown the photograph of Michivako on a copperplate. "This is his photograph. His sisters Samyavara and Asamayva took the trouble to get his picture drawn. Of course this picture might not be the original one and redrawn again and this book also about the history of Michivako written by him is not the original one but rewritten again."
