Dusky Moonlight

Aathiyan watched Nilakaran praying and he waited until he finished. He's here to discuss when and how he's going to perform the ritual to bring his father back to normal. He still has no faith in this ritual but this is the last option he got and he wants this to happen perfectly.

"Thanks for waiting," Nilakaran said.

"That's okay. I am here to ask when are you going to perform the ritual?" Aathiyan asks.

"Very soon," Nilakaran smiles, after bathing and trimming down his hair he looked different and young.

"Have you found out who cursed your father?" he asks.

"Is that really necessary now?" Aathiyan questions.

"Yes, it is,"

"Why are you so curious about that?"

"Because I want to know how they did it. I have never seen such a curse as simple and unbreakable as that," he answered, circling his thumb on his forefinger and middle.

"You know, truthfully I don't think it's a curse. How on earth could that be possible?"

"Anything is possible. You are seeing it, but you are refusing to believe it," he said, "All it takes was a small dose of vengeance and anger to inflict pain on someone,"

Aathiyan didn't say anything, it's hard to talk with this man.

"Why are you repugnant to investigate this? Are you afraid to know that your family..."

Aathiyan cut him off and said, "Yes, you are right,"

"This isn't the best time to find fault in my family,"

"I can understand, but you shouldn't avoid this. Because in the future they might set their eyes on you. What's happening to your father might happen to you. Damnation comes in small ways you couldn't expect,"

Aathiyan considered the importance of this after hearing that.

"Then can you help me?" Aathiyan asks, "To find that person responsible for this,"

"I am already helping you," Nilakaran said, "I'll find them and you have to kill Maravarman as soon as possible,"

"I got no other choice. The morning I received a message that he will come here to take my life,"

"Are you afraid?" he asked.

"No," Aathiyan shook his head, "I can defeat a trained fighter as if it's an easy job but I can't deal with my family who's betraying me,"

Nilakaran nodded, "Not everyone is betraying you; I think your friend is a loyal man," "Trust the right person. But be merciless to your opponent, once they wanted you to be gone then that's the time you should be awake because you'll die even when you are asleep. Don't be a blind eye to this kind of issue, that's not good for you,"

Hearing this advice, Aathiyan wanted to know who Nilakaran was before settling in the forest.

"I take your advice, thank you," Aathiyan agreed. He can't let someone kill him and take his precious life. He has to be awake.

In the meantime, while walking to her pottery class, Kayanangau saw Mathinila sitting under a tree and she looked sorrowful. Kayannagai can't help but feel pity for her sister so she left everything behind and went to say some comforting words. Kayanangai believed that Veera was a nobleman just like his father but when she heard the rumor that he's having a mistress, she felt so angry with him.

She doesn't know how much that is true but everyone knows about it and she thinks it's true.

He tricked her sister to marry him and she trusted him so much. Kayanangai can't help but feel sad for her sister and loathes Veera.
