    The promise spoke about her family problem and she pitched her tenth there. She began to chat with the organization which assigned a Counselor to her. After narrating her story, the Counselor informed her that she was at the right place.She was delighted to know that and inquired further, (How will you solve my problem? You are not in my organization.)(That is a good question. If you appease the earth, we will solve your problem by conjuring the earth's elements.

    Now, a security man from the gate had joined them and faced the other person.“Get down on your knees,” he shouted and the soldier looked at their leader for his opinion.“You are not entitled to do this to your guests.
