Ramya: Parvathi Akka, what exactly is happening to me here?
Parvathi: We are going to perform the *Manjal Neerattu Vizha* (Yellow Water Ceremony) for you tomorrow, dear. You have come of age; you have attained womanhood.
Ramya: And what happens after that?
Parvathi: Your breasts will grow larger than they are now; your waist will narrow, and your uterus will develop. That is precisely why you experienced menstruation and the associated bleeding.
Ramya: And then what happens?
Parvathi: What else? Once we arrange for you to marry a young man, a child will be conceived through his sperm.
Ramya: Oh no! I don't want to get married at all, Akka. I’m terrified just by the sight of men. Back when they kept me drugged and sedated, many men would touch and molest me in places they shouldn't have. Sometimes, they would even burn me with cigarettes. And that fellow, Moorthy—he would force himself on me once every week.
Parvathi: The mere mention of marriage or men triggers all those old memories for her. Alright... tell me, what else would the men there do?
Ramya: Once a week, they would throw a party there. I would be forced to perform an "item dance." Afterward—whether it was Moorthy or some other VIP—I would be served up to them for their pleasure. If I refused, they would drug me and forcibly send me to them.
Parvathi: But you haven't suffered any lasting physical harm because of that, dear. Even before you underwent your surgery and your body fully transformed into that of a woman, they had already begun to unleash their male perversion upon you.
Ramya: Even so, I’m still terrified of men, Akka.
Parvathi: Not all men are like that, dear. Why, you yourself were once a man who transformed into a woman, weren't you?
Ramya: But back there, every single man looked at me—perceiving me as a woman—with nothing but perverted intentions.
Parvathi: "That is precisely why you need to get married. If anyone were to look at you with ill intent or attempt to touch you, your husband would be right there to thrash them soundly."
Ramya: "So, you are saying that I need a good male companion?"
Parvathi: "Yes. Your life partner will take good care of you; don't you worry." Afterward, Parvathi recounted to Janani what Ramya had said.
Janani: "If she is telling others about this and feeling so deeply distressed, it is entirely because of me that her life has turned out this way!"—saying this, she embraced Ajay and wept.
