Ashwathamar stood there, body full of blood stains. Ashwathamar looked at everyone. Arjun and Sujithra looked down clubbing their hands tightly.  Madhav and Vihaan carefully let the little girls stand. They are in the peak of fear.

Subayogai mumbled, " pochu, ipo naama throgam pannom nu sola poranga. pithamagar kovapada poraru"

Thurigai mumbled,  " ivaruku kovam vantha sabam kuduparulla.. akka, bayama iruku. enna sabam kuduparu"

Subayogai wiped her tears and said, " theriala. kavalapadatha enna sabama irunthalum namaku serthu thaan kudupanga. naan unkooda irupen"

Thurigai -" akka.. aana naama nallathu thane ninachom.", she hugged her tightly. 

Madhav and Vihaan looked at the little girls who even didn't realize that the environment around them and afraid to the core. The little girls are almost at the edge of breakdown. Madhav and Vihaan then shared a glance between them. Madhav smiled a little and Vihaan nodded his head understanding the meaning.

The black smokes neared Ashwathamar and tried to explain the things, but Ashwathamar gaze fixed in Vihaan.

Ashwathamar -" mithra.. enathu anbu mithra "

Vihaan - "Ashwathama.. mithra", he moved towards him and they both give a pressed their plams a little clubbing their hands. Since Ashwathamar has blood stains, Vihaan didn't hugged him. The black smokes left a long breathe and looked between themselves to get prepare. They parted and Ashwathamar looked at him with overflowing emotions.

Vihaan- " ivlo vayasagiyum nee apadiae iruka" 

Ashwathama smirked and said, " nee marivitai"

Vihaan- " hmm, marupadium poranthiruken la. apadi than irupen"

Ashwathama chuckled, nodded as no and said, " Arjunanin kurumbu unnidam therigirathu mithra... Arjunan..", he slowly asked to recognize him.

Vihaan pointed to Arjun and said, " en sagotharan, Arjunan". Ashwathamar looked at Arjun and then at Sujithra.

Vihaan- " Ashwathama oru nimisham", Ashwathamar looked at him blankly.

Vihaan looked at Subayogai and Thurigai, nodded his head to come next to him. They looked at each other with fear and neared him.

Vihaan wrap his hand around their shoulders and said, " en kulanthaigala aseervatham pannu ashwathama"

Ashwathama smiled a little and said, " un virupam athuvanal, en kulanthaigalai tharugiren Karna.. ", then he looked at the little girls. They both touched his feet.

Ashwathama blessed, "neenda aayuloda santhosama manam pola vaalunga. theerga ayushuman bava"

Subayogai and Thurigai looked at him with a shock and said, " haan, neenda ayula? athu epadi mudium?"

Madhav- " atha kaalam pathukum. neenga vaanga". Ashwathamar looked at Madhav and nodded his head as addressing him. Madhav with a smile nodded at him. 

When Ashwathamar move towards Arjun, his leg skipped and was about to fall down. Arjun and Vihaan hurried and caught him. Ashwathamar shouted in pain. Madhav looked at Sujithra with a smile and she nodded her head understandingly.

Sujithra- " yoga, thuriga.. udamba vitu velila vaanga". The little girls lied down the next second and separated their souls from their body.

Sujithra- " enga room la en bag la nakular sagathevar sonna murai padi thayaricha marunthu iruku eduthutu vaanga."

They both nodded and faded away the next second.

Sujithra- " akka, darling.. naama eduthutu vantha cloth edunga. kattu podanum.", They both opened their bags and took the cloth out.

Sujithra- "enna pakureenga.. pattu thuni viringa ivara paduka vaika", The black smokes then did as per her words since they didn't want to oppose Ashwathamar. Once the little girls arrived Sujithra gave the medicine to Arjun and Vihaan. They looked at her.

Sujithra - " netri mani kayatha mattu vitrunga, matha idathula potu vidunga"

They made Ashwathamar lied down and pasted the medicine in his body. The black smoke watched everything. Sujithra sat before Ashwathamar, near to his head and started chanting mantras. Once done, Vihaan and Arjun moved away. While Arjun tried to move, Ashwathaman weakly hold his hands.

Ashwathamar looked at Arjun and said, " ennai manithu vidu Arjuna". Arjunan looked at his eyes. Ashawathamar eyes is full of guilt, pain and regret.

Ashwathamar tried much and in a weak voice, " nee kovathodu irupathu Gnayam thaan. irupinum oru murai.."

Arjunan- " enaku entha oru kovamum illa Ashwathama, ethu nadanthatho athu nandragave nadanthathu. udal sari aga, muthala manam sari aganum. Enaiko nadanthatha pathi ipo yosikurathu sari illa. Unaku intha boomila oru mukiamana velai iruku. athuku unna thayar pannu". Ashwathamar nodded.

For a while, Sujithra tried and tried but nothing happens. Madhav looked at the stone in his hand, it showed the half flame in it. After a try, Sujithra looked at Madhav with inability. 

Madhav- " narayana sakthi narana ethir pakuthu pola".

Arjun- " nana?", he looked perplexed.

Vihaan- " poda vilakam kekama.. papa sornthu pogura paaru"

Madhav wrap his hands around Arjun and whispered something in his ears. Arjun nodded his head and neared Sujithra. He sat next to Sujithra.

Vihaan- " sakthi ah onnaka rendu perum oruthar kaiah inoruthar pudichukanum.. "

Sujithra- ' mama, oru senior ah solren. naangala seiyurathuku nee konjam time kudukanum.. illaina apuram unakum ithe mathiri oru instrustion voice pinnadi kekum. pathuko"

Dharshini, Aishwarya, Madhav and Vihaan chuckled. The black smoke looked between each other. They are very sure that the wound will not be cured by them. So they stood lethargically waiting for the other team to realize and then they can go ahead with their plans.

Sujithra started to chant mantras and Arjun calmed himself with empty mind and gripped her palm firmly supporting her. After a while, Sujithra automatically moved away from Arjun and her body started to flame. It is like she is in the fire. Arjun and Madhav shared a glance. Vihaan noticed this.

Vihaan- " enna nadakuthu Maddy"

Madhav- " Mahendraverman varainchathu ellam nadaka poguthu ippo"

Vihaan quickly remembered something and looked at the black smokes once and then Madhav with shock. The trio men shared a glance and then looked at the little girls who are in deep prayers for Ashwathaman.

Within minutes, the power of the black smokes were moved to Sujithra and the souls were to pushed to the bodies. They all were then pushed to the same place including Subayogai and Thurigai. They all shouted in pain when the power moved away from them. It is clear that they were pushed by a force. Sujithra opened her eyes in the flame. Her whole body is covered with flame. She moved her one hand at Ashwathaman and the next moment his body moved up and a flame covered his body. He lost his conscious. Arjun mumbled a mantra.

Slowly, Slowly Ashwathaman got cured while the black smokes were pulled to the flash automatically. Arjun took his Gandeepam with a blink of an eye and targeted Subayogai and Thurigai, shot arrows. They were diverted from the flash. Once they were diverted, they turned to a baby while thrown away. Vihaan and Madhav quickly moved and got the babies in hand before it fell down. Vihaan got Thurigai and Madhav got Subayogai. 

Ashwathama's body healed a little and he opened his eyes. Soon, A big flash emerged on the sky. Sujithra was pulled up in the mid air.

Arjun shouted, " jiira.. jiira kutty", and ran to her. He is afraid that something might happen to her since he saved Subayogai and Thurigai.

The next moment, Sujithra shouted in pain since all her powers were being taken by the big flash. After seconds, once all the powers were pulled, Sujithra was about to fell on the ground and Arjun caught her at the very right moment. Arjun gently patted her cheeks and Sujithra slowly opened her eyes.

Flash of light- " Ashwathama..". Ashwathamar looked at the flash light.

Flash of light- " Yogamathavin sakthigalalum, un vamsathinarin inthanai kaala thavathalum, netri mani kayathai thavira matra pagangal gunamadaya arambikum, ini nee thavam seiya entha oru thadaium illa. enave nee un thavathai thuvangalam. ithu un thava kalam. un netriyil ulla kayathiruku, vyasar uriya kalathil vanthu vali nadathuvaar.".

(AN: This is completely based on the some articles. According to the many articles, Ashwathamar is still alive and he is having wound in forehead alone and struggling to heal it. People found him as a person getting ready for medidation to lord, in haryana i think. Kindly goggle for more information)

Ashwathamar bowed his head before the flash of light on the sky. A ray of light fell on him and he faded away the next second.

Flash of light- " Madhava, un kulapangalai intha kal nivarthi (clear) seiyuthu vali nadathum"

Madhav- " appo enakulla irukura?"

Flash of light- " unnul irukum sakthil unnul thaan nirainthirukirathu. athu Subathirai-in varathirku yerpa intha piravi muluvathum, unnul irunthu vali nadathum.". 

Madhav bowed his head with respect having the baby in hand. The baby hugged him.

Flash of light- "Arjuna, Karna, intha vil tharpothu ungal kaigalil irupathu oru kadamaikaga matravargal villai kaana koodathu enave unglain vil neengal ninaikum pothu maraiyavum thondravum aseervathikiraen. kadamai mudintha pin ungal Villai, Gangaiyil devargalai ninaithu samarpikka vendum.". Vihaan and Arjun bowed their head. Vihaan still had the baby. The bow which hanged in thier shoulded faded slowly.

Flash of light- " Subathirai, Arjuna.. ", They both looked at the light knowing what will be the topic.

Flash of light- "Abimanyuvin karma vinai mudinthuvitathu, athe pol intha kulanthaigalin ayul kaalamum mudinthuvitathu. ungalalin oru korikaiayai matumae nivertha iyalum. Ungaluku Abimanyu venduma allathu intha kulanthaigal venduma?"

Arjun and Sujithra looked at the babies in Vihaan and Madhav's hand. The babies hugged them. Sujithra clubbed with her hands with Arjun and blinked stating that she will support him for all his decisions. Vihaan and Madhav shared a glance with a smile knowing very well what Arjun will say.

Arjun gulped, smiled a little, bowed his head and said, " intha kulanthaigal vendum Deva"

Flash of light chuckled and said, " thananjaya, nee thannalamatravan enbathai meendum niroopithu vitai. En manam magilkirathu partha.. naan aseervathikiraen, Abimanyu illaiendralum, Abhimanyu epadi avan thanthaiyin ganathaium thiramaiyaium petrano athe pol un magan irupaan."

Arjun and Sujithra bowed their heads in happineess.

Arjun- " Subathiraiyin asaiai niravetriyatharku nandrigal deva", Sujithra chuckled.

Flash of light giggled and blessed, " nalamodu vaalungal. ivulagai kaapatri athil tharmathaium, anbaium nilai nirunthungal"

Everyone bowed their heads at the light and slowly it faded away. Dharshini and Aishwarya neared Vihaan and Madhav with utmost happiness. They got the baby from them, hugged it and kissed it. The baby too kissed back. Sujithra tried hard to stand. She is very weak to the core.

Sujithra- " enaku valikuthu athaan. mudium nu thonala"

Arjun- " naan thookikaren", He lifted her the next moment.

Madhav looked at the pepple with the thinking about the hotel room, since everyone need rest. They were faded away. Slowly Ilavendan, Amir and Nilan came out of a tree in which they are hiding till now.

Amar- " ippo enna panrathu? Avanga Ashwathamar ku gunam agiduchunna, udane ulagam kaapathura alavuku worth agiducha?"

Ilavendhan smiled and said, " inum avangaluku namma plans theriathu. inum namaku chance iruku"

Nilan - " avanga kitaium powers illa nama kitaium powers illa, we are still equal. naama try panalam". The trio then promised each other and walked towards the town inside.

Here, The next moment all six were near the door of Hotel. They looked at Madhav questioningly and he showed the pepple. Sujithra tiredly leaned on Arjun more and slept. Others understood her tiredness.

Madhav looked at the pepple with the thought and it showed the new moon.

Madhav- " ithu pournamiah kaatuthu, so naama next step ah adutha pournamiku edutha pothum. First ellarum rest edukalam."

Aishwarya- " Arjun, neenga rendu perum rest edunga. ethu venumnalum phone pannunga naanga vangi tharom. Suji romba tired ah iruka. avaluku nalla rest venum. ulla poo"

Vihaan- "unaku ethuvum venuma Arjuna?"

Arjun- " juice venum anna. light ah snacks."

Madhav- " juice okay. snacks ipo vendam sapdura time. food vangitu koopdaren"

Vihaan- " Shalu, kulanthaigaluku enna venumnu list kudunga. vaangitu varom. "

Dharshini- " muthalla poi paal vangitu vaanga, dabba vum venum. apuram mathatha pathukalam"

Madhav- " apadiae rendu dress eduthutu varom. waru,muthalla intha jewels ellam kalatu. kuthida poguthu. skin romba sensitive ah iruku paaru papa ku"

Aishwarya -" Hmm, key kudu Maddy, naanga room ku porom. ", All six now moved in talking casually discussing about the very next thing to do.
