"You Guys know, Which is the oldest language?" - Anika asked her fellow interns while accompanying to the Tanjore temple. They were very curious to know about the fact. As she was working in the sister channel of the city bee channel owned by aru, she took a new project of the documentary which mainly deals with the immersed island, called kumari kandam before five thousand years as per the archaeology. Before the birth of Christ. Anika put all her brains for this documentary for the past six months. Not for the documentary, But also for the many questions in her heart. And she desperately needed answers for that. 

"Greek... Or Chinese..." - One boy answered her question. 

"You know what's our people biggest mistake, They didn't care or know about the things we already have, but wanted to go beyond the illusion..." - Anika said. 

"So, My Interns, The language we are speaking is TEN thousand years old and has the most mysterious history behind..." - Anika said while looking at the largest shivan idol from nandhi's point of view which was also bigger as shivan's idol. 

"And you know the history behind this temple, Bhagwan Shiv Tanjore temple was built before a thousand years by Raja Raja cholan, Fully with granite stones, that too there was no stone availability in the nearby locations. And Its 216 feet long hallow building which withstood all the worst and terrible storm, Rainfall and most important Earthquakes..." - Anika said while groping her hands before shivan's idol and stayed in silent.   

"And there are many unsolved mysteries..." - Anika replied after the worship.

"But how it's related to the kumari kandam..."  - A boy who was her intern asked her. 

"It was the people, Both were tamizh people... And the lost continent, Lemuria as well as kumari kandam belonged to Tamil... So our research starts here, From the blessings of shiv... we are going to start our research..." - Anika said and they started to roam around where anika requested the priest of the temple to worship shiv in close she also used her media tag to enter, After a long time, They agreed. Anika went towards the idol and kneed down to take the blessings. Without her knowledge, Tears flowed across her eyes. 

She started to communicate with the god without spelling a word but tears went out of control, Her pendant dropped down from her neck when she stood, She leaned down to take that, But her eyes widened in shock when she saw the symbol which made her awake most of the nights was in shivan's idol and it was golden in colour. When she blinked her eyes the sparkling effect went away. 

She left the place when the priest asked her to leave, She didn't ask anything to anyone. But confirmed whatever she learned or researched about the symbol in the internet was fake and In turn, has a very spiritual history which she desperately wanted to research. But it was not for doing for herself but for the world. Thinking about the happenings, She started to type a proposal for this documentary to the CEO of city bee channel, Tamil branch. She attached every document and evidence and mailed it, Arushi Nair. And booked her tickets to Rameshwaram through train in the next three days.

"Whatever happens, I have to solve this mystery..."- she said and pressed the send button. Then she took the book from the suitcase and caressed the title page which had that symbols. 

Vanakas, the immortal killer of manhood...  - She read the title page. But she smiled sarcastically at the title page and took it towards the cottage kitchen and burnt the whole book while turning on the stove. 

"Stop fooling around... If they are cursed creature, how come they sculped that symbol in shivan's idol... I know something went wrong somewhere and I WILL FIND IT FOR SURE..." - Anika promised herself with teary eyes thinking about the incident happened in these six years with her. These six years gave her lots of pain, Lots of strength and lots of beautiful and sad memories which she never wanted to feel it again.

Dear mom, 

Now, I really don't know what to do in my life? I just wanted to disappear myself. I don't know what i did other than loving her, Why this much struggles, why this much pain? why it's simple for everyone else and why loving someone and spending the rest of life with the same person was not easy for us. 

First, I want to say sorry mom. I should have told you, That i proposed her, she accepted it after a long time, Even i visited her hometown as i couldn't able to live without her even for three days. And filled her hairline with vermilion purposefully.  Don't know how i forgot about myself in these five months. These five months I have reached the heights of happiness mom, I feel complete with her, In her presence. 

But Reality sensed me in the form of a nightmare. It took me to the future, I saw him slaughtering anika and our daughter in front of my eyes. My daughter couldn't even able to shout in pain as she can't speak like you. But the tears broke my heart.  Now i know what should i do. You are right, mom. Real love lies in the partner's happiness. Now i realized the meaning behind your words. I will do the same mom. 

With love

Shivaay.

The sun shined brighter and the rays peeped inside her room. She didn't want to open her eyes but eventually, she had to when she felt strong back hug and kiss on her Hair. Her little pinky shaded lips widened for a smile. Then she felt a gentle hand which stroked her hair and kiss on her forehead from the same person. 

"Jahaan... Come on, it's already late...Wake up, baby" - Aru took her in her arms. Rather than opening her eyes, she wrapped her arms around her neck and slept again in her shoulders. 

"You, Idiot, Avi... Wake up, You're having an important auction, today..." - Aru yelled at him who slept next to Jahaan and still asleep. Jahaan jerked in her arms, Aru immediately patted her back and whispered sorry in her eyes.

"Di... Five minutes..." - Avi covered his face inside the duvet and slept like a cocoon. Where on the other hand, Jahaan woke up from Aru's shoulders kissed her good-morning. 

"Good morning, Baby..." - Aru kissed her back on her cheeks, She smiled and her eyes beamed with freshness and happiness. 

"See, Avi is still sleeping, He's having an important meeting today... what shall we do?" - Aru asked Jahaan who acted like thinking and got down from her grip to the bed. She pulled duvet when she didn't get any reply from him, she tugged herself inside the duvet and tried to wake him up. But he acted like sleeping even though he was fully awake. 

But she climbed on him and tickled his stomach which was the trick used by his mom to wake him up and for the past few months, Jahaan using the same trick to wake him up. He woke up and sat on the bed in a jerk, she started to run away where Avi and aru started to run behind her and she eventually had to stop when Gauri stood in front of them while crossing her arm. 

"What's happening here?" - Gauri asked in a fake cold tone, All the three nodded no innocently to her while pouting sadly at her. She couldn't control her smile seeing them like that. she busted and widened her hands for jahaan. She ran towards her and reached her arms. 

"Slept well..." - Gauri asked her. she nodded with a smile. Gauri kissed her on her cheek and made her way to the washroom to freshen up her. Where Aru twisted Avi's ear and asked him to get ready for the Auction. He did the same. 

All five met in the dining where om was busy reading the newspaper. Jahaan who was sitting next to om stared him angrily as he was having his breakfast while reading the newspaper where everyone gulped there to smile and acted like concentrating on the food.

"Okay, sorry..." - he kept the newspaper aside and took the phone in his hands. This time Jahaan's stare became stronger. he kept the phone aside, Jahaan smiled and fed his toast from her hands. 

"Aru, Where's ritwik?" - Gauri asked her. 

"Actually, He went to Mumbai for the auction in the morning" - Arushi replied casually to her. 

"Well, Our Arushi changed a lot after she got married, Right" - Avi pulled her leg. Jahaan cupped her mouth and laughed along with Avi. 

"Jokes apart, I think Aru, You have to tell him everything... And don't repeat the mistakes which your father did, I asked him to tell her everything when they both decided to get married but he didn't say anything to Anika, Because of that You know what happened... So I think you have to tell him everything" - Gauri asked her and mood in the atmosphere changed. 

"Yeah, Give me some time... I will definitely tell him, One day" - Arushi said in a low tone, Avi pressed her palm and nodded blinked his eyes conveying her that he'll always be there with her at any cost. When ritwik left his wedding and came to meet her, Arushi became so weak. When he saw jahaan in her hands, He had many questions in his heart, But that didn't affect his decision. He threw his entire family aside and chose her. Aru tried to hide her feelings but her eyes betrayed her. She finally got ready to marry him. But she was not ready for a baby as she didn't want to give birth to vaanka and place him/her in the situation where they are now. Gauri and om tried to convince her but she stagnated at the fact. She lied ritwik that she was infertile and that's was the reason behind breaking the relationship. Everything is going well but still, ritwik family side didn't accept Aru. 

Soon Aru's phone rang. she attended the call and her facial expression changed, she started to smile sarcastically. 

"You know what, STAY TUNED TO CITY BEE CHANNEL, exposing your crime and woman trafficking is for sure...  MLA sir, BE READY TO BECOME FORMER MLA"  - Aru said sarcastically and called her control team to broadcast everything on her channel. Aru exposed the MLA on the digital media to the people. Gauri became tensed like om.

"Aru, why are you doing like this?"  - Gauri asked her. 

"Chill, Bua... he don't know with whom he's playing... Relax" - Aru said, kissed Jahaan's cheek and left. 

"I forgot i got an appointment from ENT specialist for jahaan... Avi, come soon with her and i will be in the hospital waiting for you..." - Aru said and didn't leave any hope and ready to accept the fact that jahaan is a silent speaker (dump), Both Avi and Aru trying their level best to make her speak. But nothing gave hope to them.

The news aired all over the television. Other than Gauri and om, It created fear on two more people knowingly or unknowingly.
