I still couldn't believe that phone call. I was totally shocked and confused. I never expected that they would take this decision.

I reached their house faster and made my way straight inside. I stood helplessly when I found them packing all the things.

I cleared my throat to get their attention. Vineeth came and hugged my knees tightly. I carried him and he quickly placed a soft kiss on my cheek.

"Athu kulla enna vittu poriya?"

"Naan poo maaten. Pleach, Enna unkooda kuptu po"

He said, sobbing. I was surprised by his reply but felt a bit relief since I got a chance to convince them.

"Why are you going now? Stay for some more time. Nothing will happen like you're imagining"

"No Ani. Ithu varaikum nadanthathe pothum. Ithukka mela I can't withstand"

Mithra said and carried Vineeth in her hands. He started crying as soon as he was taken away from me.

"At least for Vineeth ya"

"Illa Ani. Inga enna, ethukku nadakuthu nu enaku therila but it's not safe to be here. We've to go. I don't want anything worse to happen again"

"But Vijay..."

"No more discussions. Where is Aditi?"

"She was sleeping when you called me. She must be sleeping still"

"Ok. Ask her to be here before evening"

Mithra sternly said and left from there. I stood there totally broken. I can't let them go as they just came. I badly want to send time with them but they are not understanding.

Vijay came smiling and made me sit on the couch. He rested his arm on my shoulder and made me look at him.

"Inga paaru Ani, naanga inga irundha ungalukum problem so that we planned to move. Hey, if you want to spend time with us, just come there. You are always welcome. Also it's not so difficult for you to be there, I think"

Even though he has a point, I wasn't satisfied with his talk. And he clearly noticed it.

"Hey Ani, we're also going to miss you like you're doing. Paaru Vineeth ah, unna vittu varave maatinguraan. Konjam naal pogatum, aprom situation ellam paathuttu naanga thirumba inga varom, okay va?"

I just nodded my head at last, as I don't want him to be upset because of me. Vineeth wasn't interested in this, just like me.

I took him out with me. We spent really a good time together. He stopped his sobbing and felt a little happy. He fell asleep soon and so I made him lie down on his bed.

"Are you sure about this?"

I asked looking at Mithra, with all my hope.

"Yes. I don't have any other choices, Ani. We've to go"

"Naan iruken la Inga? Inime apdi ethuvume nadakkama paathukuren. Please pogatha"

I said, holding her hand with my glassy eyes. Her eyes too became wet when she looked up at me.

"Ani, unakke theriyum la? Vijay ku ethuvume theriya kudathu. If he comes to know, he will be in a very big trouble. Even he may lose his life. Aprom nee enna thaan panna solra? Should I be the reason for his death?"

"I'm sorry. I never thought like you did. Neenga pora sogathula atha naan yosikkave illa. You're right, Mithu. Vijay will definitely get to know all the details if he stays here. You better leave with him. We will come and visit you there"
