Vinod : then why you paired up with that moron ? 

Kali : that was written in my fate sir. It was meant to be happen for me.

Kali disinfected amukta's wound and injected anaesthesia . He sutured the injured area and dressed the wound.

Kali : it's done ma'am.

Amukta : thanks ! 

Kali : you know something sir ? I know that you have injected an empty syringe into my body. I am not going to die anytime soon. 

Vinod smiled lightly. 

Dev : are you being on both sides ?

Kali : no sir ! I had to be on that side till few months ago. But from now I am going to be on your side. I am promising you that i will definitely help you people in finding him. If we find him and expose him . He will definitely leak Ramaswamy's secrets. 

Dev : hmm. Go and take rest guys ! He can't escape from us. We are definitely going to catch him soon.

Everyone departed to their own tents. Vinod brought the handcuffs to secure kali. Kali didn't object but laughed. 

...........

Kalavathi is feeling very weak. She is all tied up and alone in a store room. She wondered what gopi is going to do to her. She didn't expect that her friend would pair up with her ex-boyfriend and help him to kidnap her. She heard them talking about jara's escape from the prison. She somehow felt happy that he is going to kill Dev my hook or crook. She heard the noise of someone's footsteps. There is a gap between the floor and the door. The door is unlocked and gopi came inside. He is looking at her with a straight face.

Gopi : how are you darling ? Didn't you miss me ?

Kalavathi : Gopi !  please listen to me . 

Gopi : shut up you bitch ! You cheated me.

Kalavathi : i thought of telling you about that. But you left already.

Gopi : oh ! So you are innocent. Then why your brother did this to me ? 

Gopi asked by showing his armless shoulder. Kalavathi was silent. 

Gopi : The worst thing is not accepting our mistakes. You are doing that. Accept that you are a criminal.

Kalavathi : what crime i have done to get called as a criminal ?

Gopi : you think that you are a saint right ? You helped your brother in multiple crimes , you deceived me and you also tried to harm my mother. You tried to murder her. Now you are here for doing something of that sort again. 

Kalavathi : I know you won't believe me but remember one thing ! You are the only person whom i loved in my life. My first and last love is you. 

Gopi chuckled sadly.

Kalavathi smirked at him and some masked people barged into the house. Gopi turned around only to get shot. He collapsed on the floor looking at kalavathi . A person came there and freed her. She walked towards gopi and whispered in his ears.

Kalavathi : I love you ! That is the reason why I am killing you. 

She took the knife from that masked man's hand and slit his throat. Blood splattered on her face. She left the knife and walked into the kitchen. She washed her face and made some coffee. She saw her friend who is in her last minutes. She kicked her hardly multiple times and she died. 

Kalavathi removed the gas pipe and brought the gas cylinder into the living room.  She poured kerosene in every single room of that house. She opened the extra cylinders too. Those masked men left. She closed all windows and doors and walked away after throwing a lit match stick in the living room. She came out. 

Within a  minute she heard the sounds and gasps of people. She didn't turn back but kept on walking with teary eyes. She saw fire engines going in that direction. She stopped when she saw those masked men again. They are waiting for her in a van. She sat in the passenger seat. The driver drove to her destination.

........

NEXT DAY ,

Amukta was the first person to wake up. She tried to wake up but she realised that dev is hugging her tightly and sleeping. She tried to free herself but he is holding her tightly. She laid down hugging him back. After few minutes dev woke up slowly. He saw the woman of his life in his arms. She looking at him with a smile.

Amukta : good morning ! 

Dev : morning ! 

Dev snuggled into her and tickled her neck with his beard. She chuckled. He stopped suddenly remembering the injury on her nape. She looked at him with questioning face. He pointed towards her injury. Amukta smiled. 

Dev : what's the time now ?

Amukta : 6:00 am.

Dev : when did you wake up ?

Amukta : 5:00 am. 

Dev : why you didn't get down from the cot ? 

Amukta : I guess someone is holding me tightly.

Dev removed his hand from her waist. 

Amukta : I am stinking. I need a bath. When we are going home ?

Dev : we aren't going home anytime soon. But if you want to have a bath i'll take you to a special place. I have your clothes with me.

Amukta : what ?

Dev : yes ! Come let's go.

Dev took amukta to a small stream which is flowing on the west side of the place where they are camping. He gave a neem twig to her.

Dev : here you go ! The best toothbrush in the world.

Amukta : thank you ! 

They brushed their teeth and amukta stepped into the stream but came out again.

Dev : what happened ?

Amukta : what if someone comes ? 

Dev : darling ! This is not a tourist place. No one will come here. 

Amukta : hmm. 

She walked into the water and Dev walked along with her. They stopped at a point where the water reached their neck. 

Dev : water is so cold.

Amukta : you are very hot ! 

Dev : what ?
