"You have 365 days to find him"
"Granny, you know what you are saying, I just have 365 days to find this man who can liberate me from this curse."
"We don't even know a man with features you described exist or not"
"You made my life a hell revealing this to me on this birthday"
"Granny this is not a gift it is the curse you are giving me"
"Fang lets go upstairs, you should calm down, sleep for some time you will feel relaxed," granny said holding me and walking along with me to my room.
I am exhausted and I slept the minute I land on the bed.
Granny's Thoughts
"I know child what you are going through, I have no other choice but to reveal it to you today, if I prolong it, I may lose you. Fang, I know you have all the capabilities to liberate our family from this curse, and by hook or crook, I will support you in this. Sleep my child sleep well."

The next morning I wake up with the sense of someone caressing my hair softly,
��Mama, why are you crying?" I asked mama wiping her tears
"We pushed you into this big trouble, at this very young age, please forgive us, Fang," said mama tears dripping from her eyes continuously.
"This is because you are born to me if you were born to another mother you would have not faced this evil thing in your life, I am sorry my child" mama pleading me so pathetically seeing which my eyes started welling.
"If you know it before, why didn't you tell me before," I said wiping my tears
"We tried several times before, but we never had that gut to see you miserable by knowing this fact about your birth." She said sobbing
"This is the sole reason why your father, went on a business tour, not to see you miserable," Mama said the news which I am not aware of.
"Even Baba know about this?" I asked surprised
"Granny, Baba and me only we are the persons who know about this before you know," she said
"Even though we don't find that man in this one year, I have thought of a solution to this problem, we will not allow you to go out you will live in this house, when we find the man with the qualities to revoke the curse then we will get you to marry him, that it doesn't worry about it," mama said cheering me with her words.
"Mama it is not that simple as the way you said I cannot sit idle and wait the man come by himself, we should search for him, find him and get out of this curse."
"I am strong enough to handle this situation and I will definitely revoke this curse and liberate our family.
"Right now I don't have any thoughts of solutions to this but I will surely get rid of this."
"That's my girl, I know you will make this happen," granny said clapping her hands near my room door entering in.
"Granny, I thought about this several hours last night, I don't want to be a timid one, I don't what happens later after one year but I want to fight this problem and I should find him."
"I need your aid to achieve this. We need to work together to find this man who can revoke my curse,"
"Granny. Especially I want your support to find him"
"Definitely my child, I will always be with you"
"OK then our mission starts from today," I said cheering them for which granny and mama responded.

After breakfast, we were sitting in the living room discussing, where a man can live without touching a woman?
We finally traced a few things as far as we can think and according to our Knowledge
Monks will never touch a woman.
Sages will never touch a woman.
But we don't know where they live?
And
We are not 100% sure that they never touched the women since birth.
"Granny, where do we find Monks," I asked
"They live away from this fast world, like mountains where they don here any voice of human except nature." She replied
"How can we reach them?" I asked curiously
"Reaching them is not a problem they will not marry that is the problem, they will become Monks after promising that they will never marry in this life," she said disappointing me.
"So monks ruled out from our quest"
"What about sages? I asked granny
"Sages are very powerful, and magical powers, we cannot find them in this era," she said
"So sages also ruled out"
"No my child we can find them in India in the Himalayas, if we go there even though we don't find any man of the kind we are searching, we can find a way to find the man with the help of the sages over there with their magical powers," Granny said hoping for the best
"That we can ask Monks also we can get their help in finding this man," I asked
"After your birth for these 17 years I met all of the monks in Thailand and China and several other counties but I find no solution to this. The last time I visit a monk, he suggested me to find sages and take their advice regarding this problem."
"Oh then we should go there then," I said happily
"No that is not possible, Sages lives in deep mountain ranges of the Himalayas where half of a year covered with snow and there will be no transportation to reach that place"
"Before crossing all these hurdles, we need to take permissions of the 2 counties governments to reach there, they are located in India-China border."
Granny said all these like a never-ending process.
With a deep sigh, I thought to myself
"After all these research and discussion, I have reached the place I have started, nothing to move further and no solution"
