.....

Amukta : finally ! Why you are behaving like that dev ?

Dev : I am sorry ammu. I never realised that you are injured. I was completely engrossed in my work and i risked your life by taking you along with me. You don't how i felt when saw blood oozing out from your wound. I didn't notice your injury at all till that minute.

Amukta : You love me more than anything dev. You are the best thing that had ever happened to me. I told you that i will be fine right ? Look at me. 

Dev looked at her.

Amukta : come here ! 

Dev went and stood beside her. She held his hand. 

Amukta : do you know what pained me more ? 

Dev was listening to her silently. 

Amukta : I was expecting that you would come inside first and talk to me. It is not like I didn't want to meet my father but i was expecting you. 

Dev : I wasn't...

Amukta : I know you very well ! Don't explain about yourself.

Dev : thanks for coming into my life.

Amukta signalled dev to sit beside her. 

Amukta : sleep for a while. You are looking like a zombie. There is an extra bed in this room beside that curtain. Pull it over here. Don't stay away from me.

Dev nodded and he did what she have told him. He laid down on it faced towards amukta. As amukta's lower head and nape is injured she couldn't sleep on her back. She is sleeping on her left side. She looked into his eyes. He is already looking at her.

Dev : that idiot was right indeed. You are looking gorgeous.

Amukta : stop that ! 

Dev : is that painful ? You must have lost the effect of painkillers by now.

Amukta saw genuine concern and pain in his eyes. 

Amukta : yes ! But it is bearable.

Dev : I am sorry darling ! 

Dev held her hand tightly. She understood that he is getting anxious .

Amukta : dev ! Don't overthink about it. I don't know why you are behaving like this. I am with  you. Your ammu is completely fine. Look into my eyes.

Dev : I don't know what's happening to me ammu. I don't know why but i am unable to stay calm. I am feeling anxious and restless . All over again my brain is giving me the visuals of the worst day in my life. My dad and mom with multiple injuries .My whole body is drenched in blood but it is not mine. It's my parents blood. My dad was spot dead. But my mom was in her last minutes. She told me study well and stay strong. I was clinging to her and crying. I cried for help but no one came . She told me to go away and don't stay there. I refused. She again told in a stern voice. I went away. I went home and closed my doors. I cried my hard out. I felt like dying but then I remembered my father's words. He once told me that we should never think about getting rid of our problems but we should rather solve them. I miss them but they are still in my heart. The moment when i saw you like that i was broken. I felt like my heart is being stabbed by someone. 

Amukta : I understood dev. You feared that even i will leave you and go away . But i am promising you dev. I'll even fight against god to be with you. This ammu will always be with you. Now stop crying. You have an important work to do dev. Amma and nanna will take care of me. You go and hunt that bastard. Every single criminal must be punished. Make a prmoise that you will not spare a single person.

Dev : I am promising you ammu. I won't spare anyone.

Amukta : hug me ! 

Dev was hesitating to hug her.

Amukta : it's ok ! You can hug me but don't hold me near my neck. You can hug my tummy and sleep.

Dev hugged her carefully and drifted into sleep by embracing his love. Amukta felt his warm tears touching her. She brushed his hair lightly as she has a IV dip connected to her hand.

SSP appealed for a permission to frisk the whole forest for finding criminals residing in the forest. He received the permission letter  after a day. He informed dev about this and dev felt happy as SSP is realising dev's intentions and started working on the same thing. 

After lot of torture jara opened his mouth. Jara told that his boss's name is Ramaswamy naragam . He also told that he is doing some deals with foreigners who wants to take away something from the forest. The court announced a stay on deciding his punishment and gave permission for interrogation. 

Court also warned dev not to go against rules and regulations after forest department lodged a complaint against him for crossing the limit line. dev didn't say anything and silently accepted the allegations made on him. Vinod didn't expect this behaviour from dev. He felt suspicious on him.

After the judge dismissed everyone. Dev went to the hospital straight. It's been 2 days since that had happened. Today amukta is getting discharged. He went to the hospital and saw mythri near the reception. Mythri was talking to the receptionist about something.

Dev : what happened ? 

Mythri : I am waiting for the discharge note anna. We can take her home today. 

Dev : did the doctor visit her today ?

Mythri : yes ! He told that she will be fine soon and dressed the wound again. 

Dev : ok !

Mythri : you go and be with her anna. I will get the discharge note.

Dev nodded and thanked her. He went inside and saw amukta and saritha who are talking about something. Saritha stopped as soon as she saw dev. She gave a smile to him.

Saritha : dev ! I have to tell you something .

Dev : what's that athamma ?

Saritha : you remember my sister right ? She lives in Chennai. We visited her house once.

Dev didn't remember her exactly but nodded his head.

Saritha : she was suffering with osteopaenia. she took a black seed oil therapy and now she is completely fine now. Doctors like your wife failed to treat her but wild black caraway did that.

Dev : that's great . 

Suddenly something clicked in dev's mind. Wild Black caraway is something that is found only in specific regions. He saw those plants inside the forest.
