“But why are you telling this to me?” he asked.“Because the prince could only be defeated by a woman and no woman had the power to do that except the caretakers. But we are limited by the promise. So with time we found that a man with an inclination towards the feminine is the ideal candidate. We searched for such a person and at last I found you.I didn’t tell this to you because I thought it is too early and that you might get scared as you were not ready.” She said.“Then why did you say now? I am not ready yet.” He replied..“Because the curse on the prince is getting reduced and he is getting stronger and might come after the ring anytime, so I thought you should know it. And I gave you my saree so that you will be protected, because I have already draped those sarees my presence will prevent his forces from getting near you.” She replied.“But yesterday I wore my sister’s saree?” He asked.“No dear, that is mine too. I gave it to your sister. I told her all about this. She spent yesterday night with you because she was worried about you.” She said.

“Why can’t Rama and the others be the candidate?” He asked.“Because they have let the ladies take over them. That makes them your protectors. They will assist you. But the chosen one should be a male with an inclination to feminine. That makes you the only choice.” She replied.“What does the ring do?” He asked.“If you wear it in your ring finger you will turn into a princess, who is well versed in the arts of dance and music and painting and mathematics and all other. She is always in a yellow silk saree.If you wear it in your middle finger you turn into a warrior lady who is well versed with the sword and bow. She is always in an orange silk lehenga choli.If you wear it in your index finger it turns you into a woman who can read others mind. She is always in a white long dress.” She answered.“What does the lower ring do?” He asked.“Originally it would turn him into three male counter parts of the higher ring. But now due to the curse it turns him into three monsters.” She replied.As Rama and Rani spent their night in bed. Janavi came to Arjun’s home. She was in a heavy maroon silk saree with three inch gold border.

It was real gold threads. The border had complex mysterious symbols. The body of the saree had an intricate design made out of various shades of maroon. The pallu was also made out of real gold threads and had a complex geometrical shape with a diamond at the centre and other stones around.The saree flowed down the length of her left hand.It was accompanied by a maroon silk petticoat and a blouse of same material and colour with short sleeve and same border.At the time of her arrival everybody was present at the house. Arjun, his mother and father, his sister and the maid.She revealed everything about princess Anita to Arjun’s parents. She also told them that she is not the biological daughter of the maid and that she a daughter of one the caretakers of the ring.She further told them that she herself is a caretaker from age seven. She is the most talented of all the caretakers. Then she told them that once the caretakers confirmed that Arjun is the suitable candidate, they used the maid to get into the family.

She asked the family’s permission to stay with them and share Arjun’s room. Considering the situation they agreed. Then she called Arjun near and gave her handbag to him and whispered in his ear. “There is a petticoat in my handbag, go to your bedroom, tie it and wait for me.”Arjun did as told, then after a few minutes she walked into Arjun’s room. She closed the door. Then removed the saree that she was wearing. She then draped it around Arjun, over his bare chest.She stood there with her blouse and petticoat. Arjun got exited but the heavy folds between his legs pushed back his manlyness. Janavi noticed this. She smiled. She sat on the bed and made Arjun sit by her side.Janavi laid down on the bed, still feet touching floor, she held Arjun’s hand and pulled him and made him lie by her side.Arjun turned his head towards Janavi and asked. “If our maid is not your mother, then tell about your parents.”“My mother is also a caretaker of the ring and my father is a historian. He got to know about the caretakers during his research and through that got my mother’s friendship. And then they got married.” Janavi Replied.“Have you got any siblings?” Arjun asked.“Yes, one elder sister, she is eight years older than me. She is also a caretaker and is well versed in the art of magic. She is also a history professor and her husband is,also a lecturer.

I just got a call from her after I sent you in and was speaking with your parents and sister. You know what she has done?” Janavi asked.“What?” Arjun asked.“She has turned her husband into herself.” Janavi saidOn the next day, Janavi took Arjun to a building owned by the caretakers around a hundred mile away from the city. It was a insolated building, the nearest building was at least two miles away. From there she called, Rama,Rani, Rizana and Rose separately and gave them address and asked them to come their.Once they all assembled, she informed them. “We can’t wait till the prince becomes powerful and then come in search of us. We make him come here and then defeat him. Arjun Knows how to do it.”Then she gave each one of them a heavy saree and jewelleries and asked them to change into those.Then she said. “Lets go out, Arjun has to do this alone.” They went out and stayed a few yards away from the building.As they went out. Arjun put on the ring and became a princess. She called the prince in a sweet voice, then she sang. The prince appeared there. She danced to seduce him. The prince came near her with the intention of embracing her, but at the last moment she changed the ring to the other finger and became a warrior.Janavi told the other four ladies. “Go and stay close to the wall in one of the four cardinal directions, your feminine energies will help Arjun defeat the prince.”Both Anita and the prince fought for a long time and last the prince was defeated. Anita had the chance to kill him, but she changed the ring to the other finger and became the philosopher. She sat by his side and taught him how to lead a better life. The prince thanked her and told that he will not use his powers to harm anyone.Then Anita removed the ring and walked out. Arjun walked near Janavi, both held hands and walked away from there.

The End….
