Recap: Goutham feels restless and orders the pilot to contact the base for returning back to chennai. Rehman watches the car explode and shed tears in his half conscious state.

*****************

Tara was in her friend's home as she wanted privacy away from Pranav and his men to co ordinate with the airport officials to manage Goutham's return to chennai. She received the call from the officer who informed her that Goutham was also demanding his return which shocked her. Still she made it clear that Goutham shouldn't be aware of Rehman's words in his return and requested him to go along with his words and act accordingly.

Goutham was running out patience waiting for the reply from the pilot. The pilot who contacted the base got in contact with the officer who worked for Rehman and Goutham. He clearly instructed him to give into Goutham's demand and announce the deterioration of his health to request for emergency landing.

The airhostess again returned to Goutham and passed the radio to him.

Goutham: Tell its a ok and nothing else.

Pilot: I have passed the information that you are suffering health issues and requested for emergency landing so we will be landing but not in chennai. We will be landing in Delhi and you need to take a flight to chennai from there.

Goutham: that is brilliant. I will contact my friend in AAL requesting time for all the enquires but be assured I will take complete responsibility out of this. Thank you.

Pilot: You are welcome sir. Please buckled your seat belt and we will be landing once the Delhi base gives us clearance for landing.

Goutham was thankful for returning yet he couldn't smile and waited for the landing. 30 minutes later he landed in Delhi and called the officer whom Rehman too contacted for his return and informed everything and the officer reacted as if he was hearing only from Goutham and also helped for the immediate flight to chennai.

Goutham was seated in the economy class and called Mithra but her number was not reachable. He bit his lips to control his frustration and called Rehman first who didn't answer his call and he called Bala who also didn't answer his call.

Goutham Mv: what the fuck is wrong with everyone ? Why are they not answering my calls ? Sure something is wrong. God, keep my Mithra safe at any cost. She is my life.

He called his father who answered the call in the first ring.

Goutham: Appa, what is happening why is Mithra's number not reachable ? Even Rehman is not answering my calls.

Ravi: Goutham, where are you now ? Have you returned to chennai already ?

Goutham: Wait, you knew I was returning ? Appa, please tell me Mithra is fine. Where is she ? Let me talk to her please.

Ravi: Goutham, I will send driver to pick you up from airport and we will discuss everything once you are here.

Goutham: Appa, you are testing my patience. WHERE IS MY MITHRA ?

Ravi: Mithra is kidnapped and Rehman has gone to save her. I m at commissioner office and he has called for a team to help us. Now don't panic and come over. Mithra will be safe and nothing will happen to her.

Goutham couldn't speak a word and cut the call shutting his eyes in rage on himself in the first place for leaving her back which caused her kidnapping. 

Goutham Mv: Mithra.......

He never thought of anything other than Mithra and only opened his eyes the moment pilot announced the landing at chennai. He opened his eyes and rushed to the exit waiting for the door to be opened and stormed out running out of the airport like a mad man. The airport security staff was already informed about Goutham's arrival and a few cops who was waiting to escort him saw him running and followed him. Before they could call him to join him in their jeep to reach the commissioner office Goutham saw his driver opening the back door of his car but Goutham closed the door and opened the driver seat and opened the app to track Mithra by the chip from her ring and started driving towards it with the cops following him behind.

All the way he was only praying for Mithra to be safe and he was sweating badly inspite of the AC in the car. Ravi received information from the cops who were following Goutham that he was headed towards chennai outer ring road instead of heading to the commissioner office. Ravi and few other cops headed towards where Goutham was driving.

Goutham received Vinay's call after he got to know from Ravi that Goutham had landed in chennai.

Goutham: Don't worry Vinay, nothing will happen to my Mithra. I will find her.

Vinay: I m sorry mama...sorry. It all happened because of me. 

Vinay explained everything that happened from the beginning of Raghini's entry to Mithra's kidnapping and cried mumbling sorry again and again. Goutham hit the steering wheel and his heart completely shattered after hearing from Vinay that Mithra knew the secret which he had kept from everyone and wanted to bury it forever in their life.

Goutham: I will call you later Vinay. 

He cut the call and in 30 minutes he reached the location and got down the car running around the quarry and finally stopped looking at the exploded car and two burnt bodies inside it. A man shot dead little away from the car.

He fell on the ground with zero emotion staring at the car and the burnt bodies. He shook his head and tears blurred his vision and he wiped the tears with him arm sleeves and got from the ground.

Goutham: No ...no ....that is not my Mithra...not my Mithra...it can't be her...no...no... MITHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..

He screamed calling her name and ran around the quarry searching for her. He found her bracelet near a rock and picked in his hand crying and screaming in pain. Ravichander and police arrived at the spot and found Goutham crying and screaming Mithra's name running everywhere around the quarry. They neared the car and with their closed nose and saw the dead man and the burnt bodies in it.

Ravi pulled Goutham in his embrace and patted his back hiding his own misery to be strong for his son.

Ravi: Goutham, stay strong our Mithra will be safe. It can't be her.

One of the inspector came to them and called Ravi who released Goutham from the hug and gave his attention to them.

Inspector: Sir, this ring was found in the car. Can you identify it ?

Goutham looked at the ring from the corner of his eyes in fear and more tears rolled down his cheeks looking at ring. He yanked it from the inspector and plopped on the ground holding it to his chest.

Ravi: That is Mithra's ring.

Inspector: I m sorry sir. We will take the bodies for autopsy. We will get detailed report on it. Please take your son with you. 

Ravi broke down turning away from Goutham and a few minutes later he wiped his tears and pulled Goutham along with him.

Ravi: Goutham come we need to leave this place.

Goutham: No paa, I m not leaving from here without my Mithra. You go and leave me alone. 

Ravi: Goutham, please vaa pa inga irundhu pogalam. unna ennala thaniya vida mudiyadhu. ( Please come, we shall leave from here. I can't leave you alone here)

Goutham: For one last time I beg you to listen to my words. Please leave me alone. 

Ravi: For the first time I m not listening to your words Goutham. We have more things to look for now. Don't you want to find who did this everything to our Mithra.. to us ?

Goutham: I know the person behind and I m sure my Mithra won't leave me. I need to find her. My heart knows that Mithra is somewhere waiting for me to save her and I can't sit at home and leave her to go through hell. Please leave me alone to think of a way to find her.

Chandru arrived at the place and hugged Goutham. He assured Ravi that he would be with Goutham and Ravi left from there. Police had taken all the legal formalities and media also arrived at the spot and captured the murder scene. All the media was blasting with the breaking news of Mithra's murder and Goutham's miserable state was also all over the media.

Kavitha's neighbours who had seen the news rushed to her home and only then the family switched on the TV and saw the news and video of the scene at the quarry. Kavitha fell unconscious and Shylaja who was already broken and crying held Kavitha in her arms. Vinay and Raghuvaran couldn't even react from the shock of the news and few of the neighbours helped them to take Kavitha to the nearby hospital.

Pranav who also watched the news threw a vase shattering the TV. He couldn't let any of his men to check in the quarry on exactly what happened as Police was already involved in it and the media were so keen in getting every single information or clue since it was the great businessman Goutham's wife who was declared dead. 

Pranav: How could she die ? It was not my plan at all. That Raghini must have played again. Nithya... What would she be doing ?

He immediately called her and Nithya answered after a few rings.

Pranav: Nithya, I just saw the news about Mithra. where are you ? Should I come to you ?

Nithya: No.....I...I can't talk now. I..w....will call you..la...ter...

Her voice was broken and he knew she was shattered with the news of Mithra's death.

Pranav: Cry for few days Nithya then everything will be in cleared in our favour. Just Chandru and Goutham are left and it won't be difficult to handle them now that they will be so vulnerable. Though I couldn't have her one more time before she was killed still everything is in my favour. 

He opened the social media which had the pictured of Goutham in a devastated state which made smile and he did smile like a maniac throwing his head back.

Pranav: Its so good to see your face like this. How I wished to see you like this. Its time for me to celebrate today. Happy day to you Goutham and many more happy days ahead for you. 

Goutham stormed to his car and Chandru followed him and held his hand stopping him.

Chandru: Goutham, where are you going now ? Police wants us to be at the Government hospital. They have taken the bodies....

Goutham: Shut up. Are you insane ? That is not my Mithra. I need to find my Mithra. I need find Rehman, Bala...

Chandru: ok ok calm down Goutham. Our Mithra is alive but where will we find her at this night. Lets take help from police. 

Goutham: I need to go. She will be waiting for me. I will kill him and get my Mithra back. 

Chandru: Pranav ? I will come with you. That bastard played enough in our lives. 

Goutham: I will go alone. You go take care of everyone. They need someone by their side at this time. You and Nithya stay with Mithra's parents. Take care of Vinay until I m back.

Chandru: What about you ? I want to be with you. I m not leaving you alone. 

Goutham: I m not alone. I have Mithra by my side. 

Goutham started driving towards Pranav's mansion in all rage to kill him to find Mithra.

Goutham Mv: Where are you Rehman, Bala ? I know you guys will not let any harm to Mithra. But where are you dammit.

He hit the steering and wiped his eyes with his sleeves to clear of the tears and drove at high speed. His mobile blared with call from unknown number and he answered immediately praying that should be from Mithra or Rehman that they are all safe.

Goutham: Mithra... Rehman....
