Sitting beside Emily, Sansa automatically holds her hand. During the last visit they had described to the psychiatrist everything that happened to them, carefully omitting their aspirations to be high-class career prostitutes, their acceptance of Igor's offer to be free and join the crew of Bangkok Girl as voluntary prostitutes on a decent salary. Emily explains that it is on the next step, i.e. telling their story to the family, that they would like to ask for her help.
The psychiatrist says that she is happy with the speedy progress they have made. She goes on to say that there are risks, but that they could be minimised, perhaps removed, if the 'meeting' is moderated. Emily asks how moderation would work. The psychiatrist outlines that the three of them would sit facing the family, with the psychiatrist in the middle. The family lounge would be a suitable setting. The psychiatrist says that she would speak for them relating their experiences. The psychiatrist to moderate the meeting; basically to ensure smooth running and to see difficulties before they occur so they can smoothly move on, without offence to the questioner or distress to Emily and Sansa. Both ladies agree the format. They also agree that the psychiatrist should talk to Baapoo and Maa to arrange the meeting time, sooner rather than later. The meeting is arranged for the next day.
The next day the psychiatrist escorts Emily and Sansa into the lounge where the family is already present and seated. She assists them to their chairs, not because they need help but in order boost their confidence in being kept safe. They sit and try to relax. The wisdom of the psychiatrist's plan is quickly made manifest: she relates their experiences very well, and only mentions the experiences in which they had no choice to comply for fear of harm or even being killed. The questions asked present no difficulties; and the psychiatrist's moderation makes the meeting seem informal, caring and most important, helpful to their recovery. They both feel as if another weight has been lifted from them and all 3 are pleased with a job well done.
That night as Emily and Sansa settle into bed, Sansa puts her arm around her so Emily can snuggle close in their favourite spooning position with Emily's back to Sansa's front. Sansa asks what it is she likes so much about the position and Emily tells it is her favourite because she was always quiet and a little submissive. Sansa giggles and tells her that it suits her perfectly because she is a little on the dominant side, they laugh and snuggle closer... if that were possible!
Sansa asks if Emily would like to meet her parents. Emily thinks it's a lovely idea and asks if she has thought any further on their proposed career change. Sansa tells her that, apart from thinking about her, she is thinking about it most of the time. Emily listens as Sansa says she is totally in love with the idea because she enjoys a man inside her and the feeling gets even better when they climax deep inside her. Emily touches her in her special place and they kiss sensuously, then asks Sansa if she thinks she could do it a number of times a day, every day, always for their pleasure rather than hers. Sansa laughs, of course she could, specially if the money is right. Emily says that she discovered on Bangkok Girl that it is the same for her, but her family would not be pleased with such a confession, it being bad enough for them that they were forced into prostitution and it is publicly known.
Sansa says that maybe they should ask her parents about it and get their advice, in confidence of course, if Emily agrees. Emily does agree and says there is nothing she would like more than to have real equality with her as business partners as well as life-partners. Sansa reminds her of the very great difference their new profession would mean to Emily's standing in society. Emily laughs that she has thought about that too. Society limits both behaviour and freedom, not to mention that forced or not, they have been, and want to be career prostitutes. Sansa says that she will arrange a convenient time, which usually means not evenings which can be rather busy. They both laugh and enjoy each other in their special way for some time before going to sleep.
Two days later they are wearing pretty, but less expensive saris and both wear a full face veil when outside. They are travelling to meet Sansa's parents in a typical Kolkata taxi, i.e. it's falling apart, driven too fast and its horn is sounding all the time. It is so dilapidated that the driver holds the bare ends of the horn wires in one hand, pressing them together on the metal part of the steering wheel to sound the horn. They lovingly hold hands, as they always do, and their other hands hold onto the handle above the rear doors to try and avoid being thrown around too much as the old yellow taxi hurtles round corners and amazingly doesn't hit anyone or anything... this time. Arriving at their destination, Emily pays the driver and they get out, shaken but not too stirred. They giggle as the taxi drives off sounding it's horn, but to be fair every other vehicle seems to be making the same generous contribution to the general cacophony of Kolkata.
