Bobby was busy on the internet, ever since he saw the lingam from the temple, he firmly believed in Sirsi's ancestors story. If Bobby is onto something, he gets too deep into it. Until he finds a way out he doesn't rest, his determination and dedication towards knowing further clues had been caught him like a fever. Only medicine is to endure the pain.
Sirsi had been too casual about it, her interest towards the Swarna Rasam had been  very casual.. while Bobby was making notes from the India map, Sirsi came with lunch in her hand.
Eat and then you can continue.. said her
Bobby was eager to show his research but he needs to wait until it's done.
He just nodded and asked where is Petros as he has been missing since morning.
With these many guards around, am pretty sure he is alright! Sirsi responded sarcastically.
Bobby laughed.
He missed talking to her that way.
Maybe we should elope winked Bobby!!
Sirsi sat next to Bobby..
Is that the map for us to elope?? Asked her.
Bobby held her hand.. if it is so.. den will the mysterious mistress accompany this peasant???
Sirsi giggled.. and looked deep in bobby's eyes.. am really sorry for bringing you into this mess.. am really.. sorry Bob!!
Are you kidding me?? I haven't been so excited in my life, not even the damn PlayStation hasn't given me this thrill .. it's great Sirsi.. only thing that am worried is we do not have any second chances.. like in games.

Bob.. u don't deserve to live here like this you can go back and live the way you always wanted.. u know.. Saturday football match and then Sunday cricket with the boys and late night dinners..
That's your life Bob.. I can find a way for you to escape from here..

Bob wasn't happy with her response..
Sirsi is there anything I need to know apart from the gold thing??
Is there anyone in your mind??

She moved away and took her hand from Bob.. there hasn't been anyone Bob but I need you to be safe. That's it!!

Bob never understood why she refused to answer this question, she had always declined to give him any explanations for this question ever since they met.

Periya chettiar had decided to meet Sirsi in person and also to apologize for stealing the Nataraja statue.
He had never apologized anyone but he needs to build a trust with Sirsi to pursue this journey.
He arrived at the Nataraja temple with a pooja bowl, he made his visit and prayed his heart full.
Sirsi was waiting for him near mantap, after doing rounds over the temple praharam, periya chettiar went to meet Sirsi.
He said Namaste first, den apologized for putting her through the agony.
I was only protecting you Sirsi. He said.
She didn't understand what periya chettiar was referring to, she imagined him to be very bad man who had put her through shit and even stole the idol.
But he seemed nothing like she thought of, he was humble and after all even said sorry!
With a puzzled look, she asked protecting from whom??
Periya chettiar smiled and said it's better we leave that for me to handle Sirsi.
I have been given the responsibility of protecting you and Nalan. Am just doing my duty.
He sat down and asked one his servants to bring the suitcase from the car.
While Sirsi used this opportunity to free Nalan.
Periya chettiar did not refuse..
He is going with you Sirsi, along with my men!
Going where ?? She exclaimed.
Meanwhile the servant brought the suitcase, it's one of the oldest suitcases with big bulge and had number lock system.
He passed on to Sirsi.
Here is your possession, it's all that your father gave me. I had been fortunate to meet him Sirsi I feel am blessed, the search for Swarna Rasam had changed me into a person who was mean and shrewd to people around me. It's when I met your pa.. he hadn't changed a bit.
He did mention that the sages started their journey from this very own temple. He had researched it all but he can't attain it. He said.. only the person who is destined will see the clues and I did not believe him but once you found the Jalam Lingam I realized what he meant. Realisation does come late he laughed softly..
