After spending her days in the forest near by Doramadalawa she knew the paths in the forest. She knew how to find Bama. He was resting from running . "Tried, huh?" asked Anannya while giving him water she stored in her labu kataya .

Labu kataya is an ancient way of storing water in Sri Lanka. It is made out of a vegetable ."Yes, of course am tired", he grabbed the water and drank it all. Anannya was worried to leave Bama all alone knowing that he'll be in danger. "Take my hand, I can't leave you like this. Your life could be in danger " she said. "I'm taking you home". Before he answerd she held him tightly and started the time machine. Their souls were traveling, for some reason they couldn't travel much into future. They fell near the pond 7 years  in future from the day she met Bama. Boys were playing in the water. Anannya quickly understood what was going to happen.

Rumors were spread in the kingdom that the village head's son of Dormadalawa showed signs of being born in royal background. The prince Pandukabaya's uncles decided to kill every boy around that age in the village. They planned to do it when the boys had gone to play in the pond.

Bama couldn't understand why Anannya had held him tight. He didn't know what was going to happen. But he understood that he is in the future. "The soldiers... " pointing out he showed Anannya. They started killing every boy brutally. Bama struggled to go there and save the kids. But Anannya didn't let him. "Why are you doing this?" he asked while shivering. He started crying, he couldn't bare the pain. "Bama I'm sorry. But the history should repeat itself". "What do you mean history? This is the future". He was angry, in his mind he wanted to strangle Anannya with his own hands but he knows it's not her fault. Beacuse he could see the pain in her eyes too. He knew there should be a reason .

"I'm from a very far future Bama" Anannya muttered. "DONT TALK TO ME" he said. He accused that she took away peace in his life. Made him look like a fool in front of his friends and now he has no way to go back to the village. He has been missing for 7 years. He shouted " I don't know what you are, what ever you are, you messed my life. GO AWAY". "Let me explain" Anannya said with a shivering voice holding her tears back. They both were sitting down in the forest as if they had lost everything in their life .

"BAMA, is it really you? "cried a voice . It was a pretty girl with a flower on her head and a water pot in her hand. Bama hugged her and gave her a kiss on her forehead saying "Kakuli, oh Kakuli my love. How have you been?". "Where have you been Bama? You haven't aged a bit" said Kakuli. Bama just noticed how old Kakuli has become. Anannya assumed they were lovers, but it was not okay for Bama to be seen after being missing for 7 years. So Bama and Anannya sat down and started to explain about everything that happened to Kakuli. Kakuli had something to explain to Bama. She told him how the near by village head's son brought her a proposal and now she is married .

Bama took his hand off Kakuli. He crawled himself to a circle and began to cry with pain. Kakuli had grown and married, but he was still 17. She is not his girl anymore. The only family he had was gone. At least she's happy. Kakuli left after sharing her love story to Anannya, she was not interested. Anannya was slightly jealous but she had to be careful of her emotions showing on her face. "All because of her" Bama muttered.

Meanwhile the soldiers were finding the boys who were hiding so they can find and kill them. Anannya and Bama had no choice but to time travel again. They landed in the times of Vijayaba kollaya .
