Predicament of a Girl
A romantic and sentimental thriller
Kotra Siva Rama Krishna
“You need not feel fear like that at all.” Charitha gave a little pause and in that pause, Prameela translated that into Tamil to them. “None of us are going to stop what we are doing except those who don’t want to do it and live in some other way. In my opinion we are doing a great service to the society. We are being helpful to those unfortunate male to satisfy their uncontrollable urge with us which they cannot satisfy in other ways and reducing the rapes on innocent women. We are helping the men in satisfying their kinks with us and saving their wives. We have to feel happy and proud for what we are doing.”
While Prameela was translating that into Tamil, Charitha thought carefully what to say next. But by the time Prameela just completed what she was saying, a huge group of men came there.
“None of us need to feel fear. We all fight together against them and there is strength in unity.” Prameela said in Tamil to the girls and looked into the face of Charitha and said to her what she said. Charitha smiled and nodded her head.
“It seems that you have forgotten what we did when you denied to follow our directions.” One of the men among them said angrily and came near to the girls. “If you all don’t go at once into your places and behave obediently, you will be given more punishment than before.”
“That means you send more men into our rooms than before.” Prameela said angrily. “We do feel no more fear to your dirty tactics. We have decided to live on our own way.”
Then that man came angrily near to Prameela and put his both hands on her shoulders and tried to say something but then Tarang said “You may not notice but newspaper men also here and everything happening here is going to be published tomorrow in newspapers. I thought it is better whatever happens here to be known to the public also and called them here. It is indeed nice if you tell who is that big hand behind this sex racket here.”
Then that man hurriedly looked at the men came with him and found video cameras in some of their hands. “I have no connection with any of this” after saying that he went away from that place fast along with some other men.
“I am just an employee here. I have been looking after all these girls so nicely till the moment.” With a fearful expression in her face that lady said and all the girls there laughed on hearing that.

“I just don’t know who started this among you.” One newspaper man said and a cameraman was also with him. “It moved the central government also and you do have all the help you need. You all now can live a dignified and decent life like any other woman.”
Charita, Prameela and other girls also were in that brothel house then and the translation was going on from Tamil to Telugu and Telugu to Tamil just like before by Prameela between Charita and newspaper man.
“Why the life of a prostitute is not dignified and decent?” Prameela translated what Charitha said to the newspaperman. “Just because she is doing a great service to the society?”
“Yes, that is what all our opinion.” Prameela further said to that newspaperman and explained to him why they were thinking that a prostitute is great!
“I just cannot believe it! It is shocking and surprising!” with a deep rooted shock that newspaperman said and there was such an expression in the face of camera man also. “So may I take none of you people are interested in quitting this indecent profession and live in a decent way?”
“Why you are saying this profession is indecent time and again?” Charitha angrily yelled. “Showing every organ and titillating the male to the maximum extent by the heroines on the silver screen is decent and our satisfying the uncontrollable urge of the male within the four walls is indecent? You all consider those heroines as great but denigrate us! What type of justice it is?”
“I don’t know what type of reaction it gets if I publish it. It is absolutely off the record.” With a fearful expression in his face that newspaper man said.
“If you do really have sincerity and courage, publish it in the way I said. When displaying youth like that on the screen by the film women is not wrong, how our prostitutes’ providing sexual favours in a secret way is wrong? In fact what those filmy women are doing is; tempting the men to commit rapes but our satisfying their urges is decreasing them. There are men who cannot be married, widowers and those for certain reasons cannot get the sexual release in their homes in a legitimate way getting it satisfied with us? What’s wrong if some women provide it in this way?”
“But what you are doing give way to spread diseases. I don’t think that I need to tell you people what type of dangerous diseases will be spread by having free sex.”
“Not when both the parties are careful.” Charitha said. “Anyhow that fear does not stop people from having sex in an offhand way and this brothel house is an example to it. So is it is not better to legalise prostitution and insisting on safety measures.”
“So you all people do want legalising of the prostitution everywhere and running of brothel houses?”
“Of course, yes.” Charitha nodded her head. “But a prostitute can do that while looking after her husband and children also. Running a brothel house for providing sexual offers can be an option where if prostitutes want to come and provide them. They should have liberty to fix their price and collect most of it. There should be no coercion of any sort to them to do prostitution. Whether to do it or not should be absolutely at their option. I want to say something very crucial also here.” She paused for a second as if to reiterate whatever she was going to say. “Every woman should have an option and liberty to provide sexual favours if she wants just because it is a great service.”
“I don’t think you can say like that! Women do feel very much anger on hearing this.” With a horrifying expression in his face, that newspaper man said.
“You don’t see into their hearts. Not all women do feel angry with my statement.” Charitha laughed and said. “Women who cannot be satisfied with their husbands and who have been suffering with their present income certainly do feel happy to provide sexual favours and earn money also.” Charitha sighed heavily, paused for a second before saying again. “Anyhow our present mission is only for the prostitutes, not for all the women. They should have liberty to have their children without husband and have husband, family and children if they want. They must have complete freedom to fix price or to provide it free and on everything. Prostitutes also should have the same liberty as the other women to lead family lives.”
“I just cannot.....I just cannot understand it!” there was once again deep rooted shocking expressions on the face of newspaperman and cameraman also. “You prostitutes want to lead a family life having husband and children also?” he did not concentrate on the point that prostitutes can have children without husband.
“Why it should not be so?” Charitha yelled angrily. “Once what we are doing is just a service to the humanity, why should we be denigrated and banned from marrying and having children? Yes, we give great value to our profession and continue it after our marriage also. I hope some men do certainly understand the greatness in our ideology and come forward to marry us and lead happy family lives.”
“Alright.” That newspaperman nodded his head. “Are there any other demands and proposals from your side?”
“Yes, of course!” Charitha nodded her head. “Prostitutes should have absolute freedom. Either going to a brothel house or giving it in the house itself should be her choice. She should have the freedom to decide her own price and to deny having it with a guy if she does not want. There must not be any coercion on her and everything should be at her wish and will. In addition to this.......” Charitha sighed heavily. “..........if a prostitute does not want she can remain unmarried and can have children without a husband also. Why should not prostitutes have children once they can look after them well just like all other single women?”
“I don’t know what type of repercussions to these.” There was a smile on the lips of the newspaperman. “But I publish each and every word as you said to me. I prove myself sincere and courageous!”
Prameela translated that into Telugu to Charitha as she did for everything until that moment.
“Then all of us shall be quite grateful to you!” this was also translated into Tamil by Prameela.
But the whole scene has been shot from the beginning to end again as the first time was not liked by Tarang.
***
That was the last scene in the whole movie. Charitha and Tarang were among the girls there as man and wife.
“The whole credit must go to you.” Prameela came near to Charitha, put her both hands around her neck and kissed on her right cheek. “You got our profession legalised. Now we can send as much money as we want to our families. We can live in a very happy way.”
“I am still saying to my family that I am doing a job rather than prostitution here.” The girl who expressed that fear on that day said. “But I can send more money to them now. My family indeed is a poor family and they need more money.”
“And sister no one can be more happy than I am.” Namitha, the pregnant girl came near to Charitha, hugged her on the other side and said. “You saved my pregnancy and now I can have my baby. If it is a girl I can encourage her to do what I am doing. I am really feeling proud and happy for what we are doing now.”
“I hope and wish just like me more and more men come forward to marry you girls and lead happy lives with you.” Tarang said.
“And I hope and wish........” Charitha paused for a second as if to reiterate whatever she was going to say. “...........more and more women should understand this necessity in the society and come forward to do it.” but suddenly there was a pathetic expression in her face. “But my family is not understanding this at all. They are all quite against me and asked me not to come home forever.”
“It is indeed pathetic I must say.” Prameela said. “But there sure shall come change in them, I believe.”
This scene was among those scenes which have been agreed at the first shot itself!
***
Tarang wanted to use Charitha’s own voice for her character and requested her that and she readily agreed to it. “Don’t forget that there is a clause in the contract for extra remuneration if you use my own voice.” She said with a smile.
“I never forget any of the clauses in the contract.” Tarang also laughed. “I transfer that amount in before itself the work is finished.”
Charitha did not feel surprise when her brother phoned to her and said that they received five lakhs rupees into their account. She said to him why they have received that amount and Pramod felt very much happy when she said she would be in the home just in fifteen days. Prameela has got a heroine chance in some movie and she has to go to a faraway place to participate in the shooting of it.
