Once upon a time, there was a woman named Maria who lived in a beautiful old mansion. Although she was rich now, there was a time when she did not have anything in her life. All she remembered from her childhood was that she had a mother who took care of her. There were other girls and women in the house who were not necessarily her sisters but were like sisters. Everyone called the mother – Maa. During Maria’s childhood, she vividly remembered that men would visit the house frequently. They would go in a room with a sister and then pay and leave.

Maria did not question anything. For her, it was a way of life. One day a man came and asked for her. He wanted to take her with him. She was confused and scared. She did not know what would happen if she went with the man. But Maa told her that he would take care of her and that she should leave.

So, she left with the man. The man told her that she was his wife now. He was rich and spoilt. He was also lecherous and often came home from brothels. He would come home drunk and would beat her till she would be in unbearable pain. Later when she became pregnant with her son, she was worried. But time passed and her son grew up to be a teenager. Her son often saw her all bruised and beaten up. It would make him angry and sad.

After many years Maria thought about her days with Maa. She called her and asked for her wellbeing. She told Maa about herself. Maa told her that there was a girl with her who had gotten a deadly disease from someone that was transmitted sexually. Maa was sad and told her that she was not sure how much longer the girl would live.

Maria came up with the plan that she would call the girl to her house. She would let her husband sleep with her. Eventually, the husband would die and she would get the inheritance automatically.

The naive young girl came and out of habit, she seduced the husband. She didn’t know any other way of life. Maria saw this and was ecstatic. Her plan was working.

One fine evening, she came home from the market and heard noises coming out of the bedroom. She knew what was happening. Everything was going as per her plan.

Suddenly, she heard her husband call out in anger. He was at the entrance.

She was confused and ran to the bedroom. She cried out loud in utter despair as her son came out of the room followed by the girl.
