It will cheer you up!

Kokai, please take me across.

- What the hell is that?

- Nothing! Lets go!

I wasnt scared to see it again.

I felt relieved.

And that was when I realized...

...that I was this wretched

things mother.

I can never get rid of it.

Im stuck with this vegetable for life.

Unless, inside this outenga,

lives your child...

Can such a thing even be possible?

It sounds unbelievable.

The world is a big place, Keteki.

Theres all kinds of magic in it.

But why would my own child

hide from me?

Why would it stay

inside the outenga?

Why wont it come out?

Maybe it cant, you know?

Or it could be scared.

Maybe it does come out,

without your knowing.

Thats impossible. It stays in

my sight every minute.

And at night?

When youre asleep?

Lets bring you out, little one...

Now, we wait.

I think you should let her go

for her friends wedding.

Dont tell me what to do.

Let her go.

Then you can be rid

of her forever.

Think about it.

Do you think shes going to keep quiet

when her father returns?

Shell tell him everything.

How you beat her, how you

starved her... everything...

So you see, you have to get rid of

her before he comes.

Yes!

What should I do?

Listen.

And that was how my own husband...

...killed all three of my babies.

But not this time.

I will not let them kill anymore.

My God!

Why didnt you tell anyone?

He made me promise not to.

He said it is his uncles advice.

He has always followed

his uncles advice.

But I have no faith in the old man.

This is all his black magic.

I knew you two were hiding

something from me.

Ive been delivering babies

since I was a girl.

I can make out if a baby is going to live

or die within a minute of its birth.

None of the babies were sick.

You said they died of fever.

You were lying!

It couldnt have been.

You think I wont see through it?

Today the baby turns one month.

This time too, he is going to

take her to his uncle.

And this time too, that evil old man

will say, "Kill it."

What will you do?

Not this time.

I wont let him heed the old man.

I have a boat on the other side.

When do you want to leave?

What are you saying?

I cant leave my husband

and run away.

I love him. I respect him.

What will you do then?

I will speak to him.

Has that done any good so far?

This time things will be different.

Ill demand my right.

Ill tell him to end the sinful

old mans lust for blood.

Ill make him see the reason.

Enough is enough.

What if he doesn't agree?

In that case, Ill kill his uncle!

There were no prints on the flour.

Your plan did not work.

Then how did it come here?

You brought it?

Yes, like every morning.

Why dont you freshen up?
