Uma was glad to receive the platter of Eadlys and Sambher. All of a sudden they heard a loud voice  - Hey! and a volley of filthy abuses that Sandeep was muttering he paused for two or three seconds then alliterated same filthy words in the veranda. They rushed there and saw that Sandeep was nude and was abusing lying on a bed. Uma said him , " keep quite" . He started again to abuse Uma pointing his waist fithy and indecent intolerable glitch. sandeep shouted, " hold my gun you do fun " he was abusing her and was pointing at Sarita also . They ashamed but Sandeep was abusing  both the ladies without fear and he was waiving hands.

Sandeep cried, 'leave me, leave me ". Uma called a male attendant Jaggu and he called hold of Sandeep then Jaggu gave him tooth brush coated with paste and he helped Sandeep to cleanse his teeth. Uma was watching Sandeep whereas sandeep was twisting and muttering filthy abuse and put hands on shoulders of Uma she asked him to brush the teeth first . Jaggu cleaned the feces for excreta laid on the floor that Sandeep pissed and defecated. It was chore or routine works of jaggu to look after sandeep as he was an attendant or male nurse to Sandeep.

     Uma went inside the drawing hall she said to Sarita, " you was asking me to send sandeep for treatment but hear the story about this mad man and you will get the answer for his treatment."  
      You know Milee who is our neighbor she married Narendra both were doing diploma course of Computer Science & Engineering from a private college . Narendra used to come to Sandeep for chitchat and he told that he helped Milee in her studies where he shared his notes in C+ , Foxpro and projects too. This fellow Sandeep instigated Milee and Narendra for studies together and helped them in making projects providing them materials from the library. He provoked them to love gradually and he is mastermind to design a plot for their wedding secretly in Arya Samaj out of thif town. He advocated for inter caste marriage and bright future of diploma holders in computer science . It is Sandeep who went to Durg to see a suitable match for Ankita and fixed her marriage there with an engineer in electrical engineering of the same community because Ankita is his daughter and BA pass. Sandeep went to Durg five times in persuance of marriage proposal and final deal, plans of events and ceremonies etc where he asked Narendra and Milee to submit the application of marriage there. Ankita and Milee both are friends but Ankita kept all plans of marriage etc secret or unravel. After the marriage of Ankita , Narendra and Milee also married they asked Sandeep to present there on the occasion of marriage as witness and just like God Father. Not only this Sandeep asked two boys to implicate girls of other communities to marry them and he is promoter of inter caste marriage . when parents of Narendra and Milee came to know that their children got the nuptial ties at Durg they surprised and parents of Narendra and Milee were not accepting them and they were not recognizing their marriage or relation but it was Sandeep again came to rescue as god father and he proceeded to the police and authorities for recognition of marriage of Narendra and Milee. Narendra and Milee were outcast by their societies but Sandeep intervened ther and produced the marriage certificate . He called on the executives of the societies and fixed a meeting for the resolution of inter caste marriage and its recognition in these modern societies.and worldly affairs. The dignitaries on both sides discussed a lot but marriage was solemnized so they couldn't declare null and void and by law they were bound to accept them in societies but they declared that act as felony or misdemeanor so they imposed penalty of Rupees Ten Thousand on Narendra  and asked the parents of Narendra and Milee to host a banquet or Reception Party inviting members of the societies . It was punishment but outcast parents that resolution or verdict of their societies to come in to mainstream life of the societies. They hosted a buffet party of delicious viands at the lawn of society's premises. 
     Sarita you know -- once a notice was served to Sandeep by his Principal about his conduct . Eve teasing exercised by the senior students in his laboratory where he was lab technician . He was promoter of fun games. He instigated and provoked boys and girls to do love and romance where he got pleasure in doing pranks actually he was a little bit Love Guru [ Love Maestro - the cupid] He taught or trained boys to flirt and asked the girls to play coquetry and toying or cajolery . Same tactics he exercised in case of Narendra and Milee and was cherishing pleasure in all ill pranks and designs . He was very happy or jubilant when Narendra and Milee got married as per his plan or plot. Even he is reckless or inconsiderate that he told story of love marriage and tactics to his son-in-law Surendra . This stupid fellow asked Surendra that he loved any girl or classmate and said him -- why didn't he marry a girl whom he loved ; if he didn't marry a girl because it was one sided affair . If not lopsided affair then he would marry his beloved. Sandeep provoked and irritated Surendra to unravel his secrets or tell love story. Surendra annoyed and told him that he fell in  love with a girl who was his classmate but her parents were not agree to marry a man out of community and he was discarded . So Surendra married Ankita because he was coerced and made to marry Ankita by his mother who rather blackmailed him emotionally. Sandeep said to Surendra, " if you declared your love affair before marriage to me then I would not fix or settle the marriage plan ." 
      Uma told further -- Surendra changed his attitudes towards Ankita . He became loose tempered and quarreled with Ankita over any issues he was rambunctious . One day Ankita got the diary and a photograph of Surendra and a girl together  -- she read the memoirs there and various events of life where Surendra referred name of Neeta. Surendra annoyed and his wrath bursted like balloon ;he thrashed Ankita with a glass on head whipped with belt on back and shouted , " why you read my diary."  not only this he bullied and unbuttoned his trouser and undressed Ankita and like a wild beast he copulated and burnt her breast and thighs with burning cigarette. Surendra daily bullied her tortured  and involved in peculiar sexual activities where in night he told about Neeta and his love story as a freak. 
     Ankita conceived within a month and thought that Surendra would mend his habits after the delivery of baby so she tolerated all the atrocities done on her. Now Surendra became a rough and daily he visited Neeta who was working in a private concern at Bhilai . Neeta didn't marry she protested -- what her parents wanted her to marry  a man of the same community. Whatever the marriage proposals brought to her knowledge -- they were doctors, engineers or professors and they demanded a lot of money and various gifts in dowry . She rejected all proposals and accepted the post of Supervisor in a private concern she couldn't take decision whom to marry etc. Meantime Ankita came to know about the illicit affair of Surendra with Neeta. She gave birth to a girl baby and asked Syrendra to forget his old affair with Neeta as he was then a father of a girl baby. Surendra turned a deaf ear and was wayward or whimsical and visionary he started imbibing wine remained absent in nights twice or thrice a week . Ankita came to know that he was in relationship with Neeta so he went to house of Neeta to please her in night and he involved sexual orgies with both Ankita and Neeta. This dude was enjoying cherry and plum together . He was keeping his legs in two boats simultaneously . There is a Chinese proverb , " Don't keep a leg in two boats." But Surendra was chasing two rabbits at a same time where he would loose both."  whatever the proverb substantiated in his case. One day Surendra made a plan to visit his father-in-law because Ankita complained several times about atrocities and bullying etc. Even Ankita complained her mother-in-law and family members about the love affair of Surendra and illicit sexual copulation with Neeta. They called Uma to Durg to advise surendra and Ankita to live together in harmony. 
       Uma went to Durg to advise and instruct Ankita and Surendra to live together in harmony. Surendra promised her that he would behave well to ankita and renounce or abandon all the reminiscences and love affair of Neeta. uma came back but Surendra didn't keep his promise . He was not sober but rapturous and drunkard. One day Ankita met Neeta in her house when Surendra was out of town for some work. They discussed their problems and Neeta claimed that the first right on Surendra was belonging to her rather it was her privilege to love and marry Surendra but she couldn't marry due to protest and resistance from their parents. She discarded the request of Ankita to leave or free surendra from the bond of love . Neeta said, " love knows no liberty from paramour when beau is lewd in bed . I am a technical person and believes in physical love that is reality of life so don't teach me about spiritual love and sacrifice because you are now a second hand car hence carry your taxi to another junction and wait for a passenger who may hire your service."  
     Ankita said, " Please have mercy on me and baby I am mother now."  Neeta reprimanded her , " carry your taxi and stepney or scrape and damaged part toddler to other workshop or garage . You are simply an object for Surendra so he enjoyed your cherry he is also a technical person hence he done your objectification. we will marry if you divorce him albeit he will bully you daily and your home will convert into abyss or hell and you will be on the bed thorns." 
   Ankita tried to mend the habits of Surendra but he was wayward and whimsical he remained absent in nights . He time to time bullied Ankita on petty issues and slapped toddler then one day Ankita said, " she was ready to divorce him." 
     Surendra phoned Sandeep that he was coming to Raipur to meet him along with Ankita and baby. They arrived there and Surendra stayed for three days. He told his father-in-law about prenuptial relation and admitted that he was in relationship with Neeta his first love and couldn't leave her . Even he commented that Sandeep was known as Love Guru or he was notorious about giving instructions to youths -- how to love and do marry matches of inter caste. He said , " recall your teaching that you preached me after marriage at Durg in the context of love marriage so I remind you that I am following you and your daughter is ready to divorce me so after the divorce you might marry hed to another man ." 
     " Sarita you know this is not only one story of divorce about my daughter , said Uma." Now we are looking for any suitable match for marriage of my daughter. You know very well, " how it is difficult to remarry a single mom." People in community talk about the nasty relationship , tangle, fraction and various flaws of the affected persons or victims. Aunt of Ankita told about a relation -- I mean match inter caste a divorced man who is a mechanical engineer and servicing in Malad somewhere is agree to marry Ankita and is not demanding gifts or dowry. His wife fled with some another guy perhaps that man was her lover so the decree of divorce also granted after two years of the registration of the case in court. Now that gentle man Ravi wants a simple girl or divorced woman means single mom. Sudden Ankita's aunt entered the drawing hall as she resided in Raipur and came to visit Uma. Aunt said, " Ravi is agree to marry Ankita in summer season most probably in the month of May because he has to do some formalities to get clearance of papers from bank, office, court etc for second marriage to another lady."  
       Uma said , " thank God now I am also agree on the point of inter caste second marriage after the divorce of Ankita.  So we will manage and Ankita will marry Ravi in the month of May. After all we Indians can't live ideally with daughter unmarried or divorced. It is regarded as social burden and sin also that god doesn't forgive us. "  
      Ankita joined them in chitchat  -- she said, " you heard about the divorce of Narendra and milee or not." Uma said, " oh! yes I heard two days ago that Narendra divorced Milee because mother of Narendra misbehaved Milee and there were complaints about atrocities from Milee who time to time sent messages to her mother. Their parents were unhappy and not satisfied with this relation. Milee's mom was seeking any suitable match for her second marriage so she made Milee to divorce Narendra and they designed the pretext and plot for divorce once they complained the police about misbehaviour and atrocities whether real or fictitious but investigation was done by the officials and a warning letter issued to them .Police warned parents and sister of Narendra that not to criticize or reprimand Milee for dowry. They said, " First time they are issuing a warning letter but if Milee complains in future regarding misbehave, bullying and atrocities or comments on dowry then they will be sent behind bars or to prison and the case will be trialed in the court." 
     Thus there was indirect consent for divorce of Narendra and Milee from their parents so they filed a joint petition in the court and first granted Judicial Separation for one year then the court granted them Divorce on their mutual consent. 
     Now I am going to give you a sensitive and surprising news that Narendra and Milee both are going to with lady and gent of their own communities in the month of May. Fortunately Narendra got a relation of a bachelor girl from a village who is graduate and belonged to his community. Similarly Milee got a relation or match of a computer engineer in Bilaspur whose wife died of cancer and this fellow belonged to community of Milee hence these second marriages to be solemnized between members of same community that's why intracaste but not intercaste. 
       Sarita wanted to go back home and said, " okay I came to know reasons of divorce in stories of Narendra , Milee , Ankita and Surendra they rather select partners from different communities." 
        Sudden they heard that Sandeep was abusing a vendor loudly who was selling vegetables on cart . Jaggu apologised for the misbehavior of Sandeep but Sandeep was in frenetic mood abused jaggu ,vendor and passers-bye . Sarita again commented , " send him to lunatic asylum or mental hospital for treatment." Uma said, " okay but our session is not over stay here I have to tell you other stories of this Love Guru Sandeep and you may know the reasons of his lunatic status and treatment etc and then suggest me." 
      Uma narrated  -- you may ask aunt that Sandeep takes interest in flirting and is colloquial and this talkative habit and shock and perplexity may be observed in his style of filthy abuse. He was loquacious and famous for love tricks and pranks but all his teachings proved nocuous to him and he became half man.  
  He is diabetic but he likes most sweet meats and ice creams . His favorite dessert is milk cake and he likes to eat hot Jalebis . He didn't care for his health and developed stones in his urinary bladder two years ago. Doctor examined him and sonogram report stated that about one inch length and five millimeter breadth size stones found there . Doctor extracted out three stones rather crumbled them into pieces with laser rays first and wrote prescription and advised him to consume food or meals as per chart provided. But Sandeep was not health conscious he started eating fried snacks , milk cakes and jalebi so complication of outgrowth began in his urinary tract and bladder again and calcification spread from testes to urinary tract and bladders it is also due to post surgery medication and consumption of fast food, fried snacks and sweets. 
     Sarita you know doctor called him for sonogram he went there and he got appointment for operation to extract out stones in the bladder . So second time , Sandeep was operated and two stones were crumbled and extracted out . Doctor wrote prescription and advised him to control himself in consuming meals as per diet chart. Again Sandeep felt relaxed  but did not follow the advice of doctors and he consumed sweets and fried snacks so post surgery complication developed and his urinary tract blocked by small stones looked like granules in sonogram. doctors examined him and gave him a date for surgery because his urinary tract rather made a filter bed or lid like sieve to pass the urine and he felt stiffness and pain in passing urine hence trickling started when he tried to piss so nurse used vacuum tube to extract out or siphon off his urine. He developed a phobia of water and remained thirsty because he couldn't pass the urine . Hence third time surgery done on his urinary bladder and tract as well as testes. Even doctor told me that surgeons wanted to operate him and to pull and cut off his testes  -- not only  vasectomy rather castration they did on him. So he is half man and impotent . Doctors warned me and Sandeep also for control of diet as per diet chart and said, " if Sandeep did not pay attention on his diet and meals post surgery then he would develop calcification or formation of stones in the urinary tract and gall bladder etc where his genital  to be operated and deformation might happen." A nurse told me , " they will be not responsible for the deformity or any type of syndrome developed in future because their attempt is to keep him alive on any cost." 
       sarita you know  -- nurse was right in her statement and calculus jammed or blocked the urinary tract of Sandeep and he cried in pain and he felt dizzy and said, "his head is swimming." He debilitated himself and he was week , senile, impotent then doctors gave him appointment for final surgery or operation of genital because one day he fainted. He was operated and a tube was implanted in the urinary tract to pass the urine through the dick pore. Doctors said, " he is rescued and freed from calcification in the urinary tract because they have implanted a tube and the life of tube is five years then they will implant the second tube etc but if no calcification will occur there then normal course of treatment they will give him."  
  Sarita you know," Jaggu told me that parents of Milee went to Tota Baba a magician or occultist who practiced black magic who sent evil spirits to harm Sandeep where Tota Baba granted them or assured that he would make Sandeep insane and either he would die or live in gruesome life of a lunatic as a curse or nemesis on him from you because he played the role of Love Guru or Love Preacher a love Promoter where Narendra and milee got married and their marriage brought backlash or disgrace and infamy in society." Fandu is friend of Jaggu and who is servant in the shop of electrical goods or equipment of Milee's father. He told him a secret also that a barber gave some hairs of Sandeep to Milee's father where he paid him one hundred rupees. Milee's father went to Tota Baba and gave him a bale of hairs where Tota Baba made a dummy or effigy and painted vermilion paste on the head and pierced pins on head, toe, legs etc and cut the limes and cited incantations and produced smoke in the fire box pouring blood of pigeon and some chickens and myrrh then Tota Baba fanned the smoke with broom of peacock's feathers towards the house of Sandeep means the direction in air. Tota Baba assured that Sandeep will be punished by God. Either he will die or live like a zombie , impotent, useless fellow a blot or slander or stigma of life and he will pray for death but he will suffer from amnesia that will be devastating effects on him due to Black magic. It was the day that Sandeep fainted crying in pain and he was operated where doctors implanted a tube in his genital. 
       Sarita said, " Examination and treatment needed further."  Uma said, " no! I am afraid of Tota Baba and nemesis or curse of parents of Milee because me and Jaggu realised the devastating and fatal effects of black magic , so Jaggu suggested me, to carry him to Lota Baba an occultist in a near by village who accompanied Tota Baba five years ago . He is maestro magician and occultist as Tota Baba is exponent in occultism . Lota Baba claimed a goat, a hen  and a pig for sacrifice and a pinch of soil of the court yard or orchard of Milee's house. Even any old shoe, shirt or bale of hairs of Milee's father may be used in invoking the demons and evil spirits . Lota Baba is master of Voodoo also. Jaggu and me visited Lota Baba and he assured that he would redeem Sandeep and free him from the curse or nemesis and evil effects of Black magic because Sandeep developed amnesia and abuses dirty filthy slangs he is half man and transformed into a partly zombie. 
         Sarita said to aunt of Ankita that Uma and Saraju should carry Sandeep to hospital for medical treatment or check up. Aunt responded, " I don't believe in disbelieve and supernatural aspect or Black magic and Voodoo but I observed that invocation of evil spirits, witchcraft and occult require a lot of practice and discipline to develop the evil power that actually works. Believe or not to believe -- why do we worship an idol of god it means we believe in spirits and spiritual world so there are both good spirits and evil spirits. So let them try to solve the problem ." 
     Saraju came there and showed them  --  he has brought a goat, a hen , a pig and an old shoe he purchased from Fandu .  He said , " Jadu ki kat Jadu hi katega." [ Black magic design and exercised will be retaliated by Black magic practice].
          He then invited Sarita aunt to accompany withthem in evening where they are going to visit Lota Baba in nearby village and they will go by car. Sarita said, " so Uma , aunt, Saraju , Jaggu  and sandeep you are all going to Magic den of Lota Baba to fire missiles of Black Magic."
