The baddies who were bashed by Vetri slowly got up on their feet. After resting well, they again split into teams to search for the trio.

"Avanga kandippa indha kaatukkulla dhan irukkanum....enna aanaalum sari avanga moonu perayum uyirodavo pinamaavo namma annaiyya munnadi kondu poyee niruthurom!!"

The head of the gang ordered his men. They left in search of Vetri and family.

S: Ammaaaaa!!!!!!!! 😭

A: Sudar!!!!😰

Abhi jolted awake hearing Sudar's screams of despair. She had a bad dream of someone dragging Sudar away from her. Abhi was relieved when she realised it was a nightmare.

A: Periyamma....coffee....huh....

She realised she was in a forest. Abhi looked around for Vetri and Sudar. They were not to be seen.

A: Aiyaiyooooo enna kazhativittutu andha manushan en ponnu thookkittu poittaan....😭 Ingirundhu poradhukku vazhiyum theriyaadhu help'ku yaarum kedaiyaadhu....kaali pasanga thorathittu varanga vera...pochu!
Abhi...avvalothan un nilamai! Naalaikku paper'la IAS officer thalaimaraivunu varum....avvvv!!!!😭

Her wails frightened the birds that came to rest in the cave and those flew away.

Meanwhile, Vetri and Sudar were picking some fruits.

"Oooooooo"

Sudar clenched Vetri's arm on hearing the howling sounds.

S: Appa! Inga singam puli irukka? 😰

V: Irukkum'da....namma veetula eppadi naama iruppomo idhu adhunga veedu...sudhandhirama iruppanga anaa indha oola satham avangalodadhu kedaiyaadhu....

S: Huh...appo engirundhu varudhu?

V: (mv: Adhukkum mela oru pisaasu irukku....adhu kita irundhu dhan varudhu....adhukku pasi eduthudicchu....soru podalena kaadaiya thinnu theerthudum....) Adhu vera....naama poyee ammavukku breakfast kudukkalaam vaa thangam...

A: Oooooo....rombha pasikkidhu....oru potti kadai kooda ille....butter biscuit kooda vaangi thinga mudiyaadhu....rendum vittutu poyidichunga enna....😭😭

S: Amma! 😃

Sudar squealed when she saw Abhi awake. One hand she secured the leaf that contained fruits she picked for her mother rolled in the hem of her t-shirt and with her other hand she held Vetri's while she carefully walked over the rocks.

Abhi smiled from ear to ear seeing Vetri and Sudar. She was not alone that gave her peace.

A: Hey, enga'di pona enna vittuttu?

S: Unakku pasikkum adhan saapdrathukku naanum appavum pazham paricchu kondu vandhom...Inga paaru...

She showed Abhi the fruits she collected. Food had arrived and Abhi was extremely happy. She greedily picked one and was about to pop it into her mouth when Sudar held her hand.

S: Brush pannama saapda koodadhunu nee dhane sonne?

A: Huh...uh....adhu veetula'di...idhu kaadu...no problem onne onnu please pasikkidhu....

S: Adhellam mudiyaadhu! Brush pannittu dhan saapdanum....iru....

She went to Vetri and picked the twig then returned to Abhi.

S: Indhaa pudi...idhu dhan toothbrush....idha oru pakkama kadicchu appuram pallu brush pannanum....

Abhi recalled the bitter taste that lingered in her mouth when she used the twig.
