Aba Chavan at this stage of age masculine man , but a nice personality, age 56, very crafty man, when there he has a son, daughter-in-law, grandchild in the house, his eyes to look at women are very hideous and low. So this Aba is a farmer and a simple naïve, wife is enjoying all the glory at home with cows and bullocks. Still, as a hobby Aba sometimes goes to a lake some distance away with a fishing rod. So once when he was walking in farmland like that it was 2.30 in the night and he hears a sound of ghungaroo (anklets) he could sense beautiful aroma of scent and even when no one was around, still he keeps walking ignoring abnormal occurrences, When Aba looked in his own sleep walk at distance farmland, he saw a young woman in her thirties and immediately aba fell in love with opportunity IN front.  How come she is at farmland at mid night? from where did she arrive? he Don't even think about it, just go near her and asks her how come you are here. She just says, "should I come with you?" Aaba thoughts he got an opportunity himself, and he immediately says yes. She follows him and Aba reaches home. At that crossroad, he ask her to wait for him and himself goes to check that his wife and child are not awake, he comes back to the same place happily, to enjoy her beauty but she disappears and vanished in front of his eyes he couldn't believe what he just saw. Then Aba quickly enters house. boy is awake he asks "You had come alone then whom you were asking to stop when there was no one with you?" aaba stuns to hear.  and silently turns back to see her again and she is standing at meadows smiling. Only he can see her and she disappears again on the spot.
