Predicament of a Girl
A romantic and sentimental thriller
Kotra Siva Rama Krishna
“Movies themselves are sexy and in almost all the movies the main purpose of the heroines is pour their beauty and youth as abundantly as possible. What is that much wrong if the sexual content in this movie has become a little more?” Charitha said and suddenly frowns gathered on her forehead with sudden fear. “But will that director really gives me that forty lakhs rupees if I play that role?”
“Sure he will, you need not doubt it at all.” Prameela’s face was with an assured expression. “If you want you may start acting in the movie only after your receiving that amount.”
“It is really very much surprising that director cum producer felt like that just by looking at me for few seconds, is it is not?”
“Absolutely it is. I cannot believe it even now also.” Prameela laughed and hugged Charitha. “I think you heard that they tested nearly six hundred candidates but could not be satisfied. How he really came to the opinion that you would be hundred percent suitable to that role just by looking at you only for few seconds, I cannot understand!”
“Your hunch may be coming true! This may be a way given by god to me to solve all my problems.” Suddenly there was a hopeful expression on the face of Charitha.
“May be. I am thinking.” Prameela said and suddenly frowns gathered on her forehead. “So have you decided to accept that role?”
“I am really very much in confusion! On one hand, it is like a boon to me. All my family problems will be solved with those forty lakhs rupees. But on the other hand......” the uneasy expression in her face was increased to the maximum. “.............it is a sex oriented movie. That too I have to play a role of prostitute. I just don’t know what to do.”
There was some silence between them both and it was broken by Prameela. “I thought of a solution to your dilemma. Say this to your family members and if they agree, you do act in that movie. Let them decided whether to suffer with poverty or make themselves enriched by getting money through your acting in a sexy movie. Just tell everything to them and let them take the decision in this regard.”
“Indeed a wonderful suggestion I must say!” Charitha hugged Prameela and kissed on her right cheek. “I just do in the way you asked me to do.”
“Will you please atleast now let me take some rest?” pretending a pleading expression in her face Prameela asked. “I am feeling very much sleepy.”
“I am also feeling just in the same way now.” Relieving Prameela from her hold, Charitha said with a smile. “Once I woke up, the first thing I do is; intimate this matter to my parents, siblings and see what they decide.”

“I just cannot understand anything you have said! You are selected as a heroine in a sexy movie and if you agree to act in that movie you are going to get forty lakhs rupees!”
After waking up from her sleep, Charitha told her mother as descriptively as possible what took place recently in her life which would provide them with forty lakhs rupees if she agreed to it. Charitha told her what type of movie that was also.
“Exactly that mom! I just want to know what you people think about it. If you all agree, I act in that movie.”
“How shameless you are! You do act in a movie that too of such type!” her mother’s voice was with full of surprise and shock as if she realised the essence of it just then.
“Mom, you must understand one thing!” suddenly Charitha’s voice has got serious note. “I never have interest and still have no interest to act in movies. I am forced to think like this only because of our family present condition. If all of you are against this, I simply forget about this.” She paused for a second before saying again as if to reiterate whatever she was going to say. “I have to tell my decision just in two days. After that time the offer will be completely off my hands.”
After waiting few seconds for her mother’s response, Charitha broke that silence and said “Bye mom. If you people are favourable to it...........”
“We never do agree to such type of a thing!” Sulochana’s voice was firm. “You need not wait for two days! You say now itself that you never act in that movie.”
“Alright mom.” It was Charitha who cut off the call then.
“What mom? What you are talking with sister?” Ragini came near to her mother and asked her. “I also want to talk with her. Give me the phone.”
“She cut off the call.” Sighing heavily Sulochana said and even the shock and surprised she received were lessened, she was still with lot of uneasiness.
“Any bad news? Why you are becoming like this?” Ragini put her right hand on her mother’s right shoulder.
“I don’t know whether it is bad or good. I tell you what your sister said to me and you tell what type it is.” Sulochana was about to say something but Pramod came near to them then.
“It seems you mother and daughter are in serious discussion of something.” He said while looking into their both faces.
“You saved me from repeating everything to you also. I am going to say something very curious your elder sister said to me just minutes back. Listen carefully.” Then she explained to them both in a measured tone what she has come to know about from her elder daughter Charitha.
“We are going to get forty lakhs rupees!” Ragini said excitingly as soon as her mother finished her saying. In the whole of her mother’s saying; that was what mostly got her attention!
“But our sister has to act in a sexy movie, did not you get it at all?” the remuneration of forty lakhs rupees was as much luring to him as it was to Ragini also but he could not remain without noticing the fact that his sister has to do such type of a thing for it.
“Whatever type of movie it may be, acting in that is not an illegal thing. Even very popular heroines of this day also are acting in roles only purported to excite the male. What’s wrong if our sister acts in a movie like that and gets money for us while we are in dire financial need like this?” for Ragini still the forty lakhs rupees was the main concern.
“Just imagine, just try to think, if our neighbours also see that movie? Can we held our heads up anywhere here once our sister played such a role in a movie which watched by the people around here?” it was indeed very much pathetic to him to forget about forty lakhs rupees and think like that as they were in such financial need but still he could not forget about the awkward situation they have to face after his sister’s acting in such a role in a movie.
“That is a Tamil movie and it would not be released in the theatres here. I remember this piece of information from what your sister said.” Sulochana said.
“If it becomes big hit, it shall be dubbed into all languages and will be released into the theatres here also.” The irritation was just so in Pramod then too. In fact he was irritating to forsake the forty lakhs rupees rather than for accepting her sister’s acting in such a role in a movie.
“A sex movie like that, never becomes a hit. Even the people of that language themselves may not see it much and it may become a flap in that state itself.” Ragini laughed.
“We are now in very much technology advanced generation. Have you forgotten about the mobile apps and you-tube? There is no surprise if that movie released into all of them or some of them.”
“But why the audience here see a movie in other language which they cannot understand?” Ragini knitted her brows together.
“Ordinarily they may not. But when they come to know that our sister acted in that movie, they sure do see it.”
“What you all people are talking here?” Vasantha Rao, Sulochana’s husband and father of Pramod, Ragini and Charitha came there. “I have to take medicines at this time. Why none of you bother about it?”
“I don’t forget about that. I was about to give your medicines to you and before that I received a phone call from Charitha. I remained talking with her.” Sulochana said once again with complete uneasiness in her face.
“Did she get a good job? Can she manage to send some more amount every month to us?” suddenly with a hopeful expression in his face, Vasantha Rao asked her.
“No, she did not.” Nodding her head in negation Sulochana said. “But her friend Prameela sent us ten thousand rupees.”
“You already posted that information to me and you need not tell again.” Now Vasantha Rao’s face was with complete irritation. “I just don’t like our daughter’s staying with her or depending on her. How many times I told her to get a good job and move away from there?”
“But dad, getting a good job is not that much easy in these days.” Ragini interfered. “Our sister is working her level best there only for us, don’t forget about it.”
“I never forget about that. But, you know........” suddenly Vasantha Rao’s face was with complete regret. “.........in what type of situation our family now is. I have undergone heart surgery and not only became a complete vegetable to earn anything but causing you people lot of expenditure for my medicines also not to say about the amount that has been expended so far for me. In addition to this your mom is also a patient and has to take expensive medicines on regular basis. Need I tell you how much we have to expend for your both education and it still takes one year or so time to Pramod to complete his graduation and settle in life.”
“But dad, none of this is our sister’s fault. Just because of our extraordinary necessities she cannot earn more than she can.” It was Ragini again.
“You are right. I don’t know. But our present needs made me talk like that. I am sorry.” With a sorrowful expression in his face Vasantha Rao said.
“Dad, even in this type of situation also why don’t you try to understand how much great that Prameela is to help us occasionally. Moreover you don’t like even our sister’s staying with her like that.” Ragini could not remain without saying that.
Vasantha Rao’s face turned into complete red but he did not say anything. However much he did not like that Prameela at present he was not in a position to deny her help.
“There is something I want to discuss with you. Shall we go into your room and do that? I just want to know about your opinion.” Breaking the silence that ensued, Sulochana said.
Immediately Vasanth Rao’s face was filled with a curious expression “Alright come.” He turned back and the others there followed him into his room.
***
“She wants our opinion on that and I said a firm ‘no’ to her. I know that there is no necessity to know about your opinion on that as I know what you are going to say.” Sulochana could not dodge the matter for long after they entered into his room and just like Charitha to her, she also told everything to him in detail.
There was absolute silence followed by a serious expression in his face and now everyone there was watching his face curiously. He was on the bed squatting on the middle of it, Sulochana sat on the left side of him and Pramod and Ragini sat in the chairs placed opposite to the bed facing him.
