Subah hone ke baad village ke square mein bada tamasha laga. Elders ne announcement kiya: "Ritual poora hua hai, lekin final proof sabke saamne chahiye. Hamari randi biwi Priya ko hum elders khud test karenge – curse door hone ka aakhri sign dikhao!"

Priya ko nanga karke square ke center mein le aaye – haath peeche bandhe, legs wide khol ke ek wooden stool pe baithaya. Poora village jama – ladke, ladkiyan, aurat-mard sab dekh rahe the. Chaar pati side mein khade the, lund hilate hue, gaaliyan dete hue.
