"Operation Cocoon is ceased"
As Arasan receives a message from Kadhir, an irresistible smirk creeps on his face, realizing the overcomes of the setbacks in his plan to send Nila away to Ceylon.
Scooping the sulky figure into his arms, he walks out of their hideout along with the packed necessities. Bidding bye to their kaju and kismis, he has to greet the pouring out southwest monsoons. Thus, the truth hit him hard along with perspiration, about the storm in Indian Ocean waters, due to the southwest monsoon, which would turn her secret journey to Ceylone, horrible and impossible.
Nila's face glowed with the twinkle, realizing that she wouldn't be sent away to Ceylone.
Before she stopped biting his cheek in happiness, Murugan arrived with the new order of sandalwood of 250 metric tons.
"It's for us, Nila ma" Arasan kisses her forehead, grabbing his rifle before he fades in the fading monsoon pour.
As the emotions of missing calm down, there throbs her fear, seeing her very own babies, sniffing her. Kadhir notices her panic and makes a move to send the dogs away before Nila faints frightened.
"Anni, onnume illa.Atu, Namma Kaju, Namma Kismis. Anni "
(Anni, Nothing to fear.
Nothing to fear.
They are our Kaju, Our Kismis, Anni)
Kadhir tries to console her, controlling his wrath on those bloody blue-collar brutes to scare her to the extent, that, the girl, who dealt with wild bulls on farmlands, is scared of her very own puppies.
"Illa Kadhir, see their teeth...
see how wild they are approaching...
They will also bite me, Kadhir" Quivering Nila, crawls back away from the dogs, while the dogs kept on staring at her, yearning for the idli and cuddles of their mother.
"Send them away, Kadhir. Pleasseeee
They... they will bite me. Shoo
Shoo" Nila in panic lifts a rock beside her to throw, it on her babies.
"ANNNIII" Kadhir, scared for the puppies, shooed them away. Relaxed Nila, closes her eyes, while Kadhir opens his bloodshot ones, which reflects her determination to destroy the ones, who caused this situation of his Anni.
Their determination was bloodshot and here, in the DG office the dejection and aggression were bloodshot in the eyes of Vikram and the team GRUHA, who arrived here leaving behind their expertise and internship in the hydraulic section, for the sake of HUMANITY.
But, there goes the humans, misjudging their HUMANITY, due to the previous misdeed of a few humans, adored as the government officials.
"Di, Valli.
Let's return to campus di."
"Haa. Why the hell should we go through this humiliation, even after not being at fault ?"
"We have something called self-respect.
And, we are not gonna put that at stake, by doing this all shit of free service"
All her classmates, picked up their stuff to back off, just on the first day, somewhere putting Vikram's feelings in question.
He would be happy if she left, as this is no longer a safe place and
obviously, he was sad that she would leave him behind, he thinks, unaware that he was really left behind, in lot many things.
