Anjali looked at Arjun but Arjun and Sujithra are looking at each other. Arjun is glaring at Sujithra and Sujithra is pleading at him. Anjali smiled looking at them. Madhav and Vihaan looked at each other noticing Anjali. 

Madhav- " kandipa solrom ma"

Anjali- " intha pakkam enna vanthirukeenga?", She looked at Madhav and asked. 

Vihaan- " naanga Sangu nathar koyiluku vanthirukom"

Anjali- " oh, neenga Pandavar vamsama ?". Vihaan nodded his head. 

Anjali- " naanum antha pakkam thaan poren. enaku vali therium, vareengala?"

Vihaan- " koyiluka poreenga?"

Anjali- " illa koyilukulla naanga yarum poga matom. anga neenga mattum than poga mudium. antha valiah naan poren. vaanga polam"

They started to walk. Arjun and Sujithra went first. Then, Dharshini and Aishwarya moved following them. Then, Madhav and Vihaan with Anjali. Anjali often looked at Sujithra and Arjun with a smile. They mumbled slowly. 

Sujithra- " sorry aththaan, gavanama thaan vanthaen "

Arjun- " un kaalu boomila patutuaalum.. ethana thadava soliruken, careful ah nadanthu vaa nu"

Sujithra- " naan ..", he stopped her in between.

Arjun- " suthi vedika pathutu vanthirupa.. kallu mannu kaadu malai vanam nu ellathaium paaka mudiura unaku un kaala enga vaikura nu paaka thonathu.."

Sujithra- " sorry aththaan", she pleaded cutely.

Arjun- " just miss di, enaku uyire en kaila illa", he said with a concern.

Sujithra- " sari ipadi mugatha vachukatha manasuku kastama iruku. ini gavanama irupen. nee enna solanum seiyuren"

Arjun- " appo ini nee enkoodave thaan irukanum"

Sujithra- " appo en project?"

Arjun- " athu epadi di, epavum un visayathula correct ah iruka?". They are taking between them. 

Madhav and Vihaan looked at Anjali, since she didn't said anything after that. Anjali with a smile admiring their Arjun and Sujithra's fight. 

Dharshini- " intha oora pathi ungaluku ellam theiruma?"

Anjali- " ooh, therium. intha idamae pandavargaluku sontham nu solluvanga.. intha parai (rock), inga odura aaru ellathukumae oru sirappu iruku"

Aishwarya- " enna sirappu?"

Anjali- "pandavargal poranthathu ithula thaan". Madhav and Vihaan giggled. 

Anjali turned back to them and said, " ethuku sirikireenganu enaku therium.. avanga intha kaatula porakala, aana intha paraila, intha malaila thaan poranthanga.."

Madhav and Vihaan looked at each other once and then furrowed their eyebrows.

Anjali- " nambamudialainalum athu thaan nijam. Beemadevar avanga pirantha idathula iruntha paraiyai(rock) ellam inga kondu vanthu vacharam.. athu mattum illa, intha kovil pakathula oodura aaruku visesam iruku.. gundhi devi avanga muthal paiyan Karnan ah oru koodaila vachu aathula vitangalae, antha aaru intha malaila ooduthu.. "

Dharshini- " epadi avlo uruthiah solreenga? ithu summa puraliah kooda irukalame."

Anjali chuckled and said, " enna ethuku nambanum? itho ivanga araichi panni unmaiah soliduvanga.. Vadanaattuku poi avanga porantha idathula irukura paraiaium (rock) inga irukura paraiaium (rock) araichi panna therinjuda poguthu"

Aishwarya- " appo araichi panni than therinchuka mudiuma?"

Anjali- " nalla gavanichu paarunga... neenga oorukulla varum pothu paatha paraikum(rock) koyilla irukura paraikum vithyasam therium. ", she smiled and then looked at Arjun and Sujithra. Still they are in their world. They didn't budge that is happening behind. 

Madhav and Vihaan observed everything. They walked further. After a while,

Anjali, " konjam nillunga.. nillunga..". Everyone stood except Arjun and Sujithra.

Anjali- " rendu perum nillunga". she shouted. Arjun and Sujithra stopped their track and looked back. 

Anjali- " kaapu kayiru kooda illama oru ponna kootikitu, suthi enna nadakuthunae theriama poveengala?"

Sujithra- " kaapu kayira? etha solreenga akka?". She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at her.

Anjali- " un kaila irukura kayiru un purushan kaila irukaanu paaru", she smirked.

Sujithra- " unkita illaya aththaan?". 

Arjun touched his hand and realized it is not there. Sujithra too looked at him and his hand. Arjun nodded as no. Sujithra glared at him. 

Anjali- " unga sandaiaya koyiluku ponathuku apuram vachukonga. antha pakkam pogatheenga. intha pakama thaan koyiluku poganum."

Arjun and Sujithra looked at each other. She behaved like she knows them already.

Vihaan- " Ajju, papa rendu perum enga kooda vanga, inga vaanga". Arjun and Sujithra nodded and joined them. They both become quiet. 

Madhav- " avan kaila kayiru illainu ungaluku epadi therium?"

Anjali- " vasanai ah vachu thaan solren. Antha kayiru Nagatha nerunga vidathu.. ungala vitu vilagi pogum."

Arjun widened his eyes whereas Madhav and Vihaan looked at each other. They realized that only because of that thread they were unable to see the wounded snake. 

Anjali- " kaasi-la epadi karudan parakaatho athu pola inga pambu manushangala mayakkum. pothuva manushan oothura magudi ku pambu mayangum aana inga mayangathu, athuku pathila thadumari bayanthu nikura Mandushangala mayakki kondrum"

They were shocked by her words. 

Anjali- " nagangaluku Arjunar vamsathu mela pagai iruku. athunala paathukapuku ipadi kayiru katti anupuvanga". 

Sujithra tried to untie her thread. Arjun placed his hand and stopped her.

Arjun- " vendam Jiira, un project analysis ku ithu thevapadum"

Sujithra- " unna vida enaku athu onum mukiam illa"

Arjun- " ithu kalatanumnu avasiyam illa Jiira kutty, sonna kelu.. epavum naan unga yaar kooda vachum iruken, thaniah engaium poga maten. nee panra settaiku kandipa intha kayiru thevapadum unaku".

Vihaan tried to untie his thread. 

Madhav- " nee kalatatha mapla. Naan tharen avanuku. naan pandavar vamsam illa. enaku problem illa". Madhav untied his thread and tried to tie it for Arjun. 

Arjun- " vendam Madhava please, pambuku pagai irunthalum illainalum athoda iyalbula irunthu maarathu. athu koththa thaan seiyum, ithu nature... En nambikkai intha kayirula illa, unmelaium annan melaium thaan iruku. naan unga koodave thaan irupen. ungala meeri enaku enna agida poguthu. Promise Madhava, unrendu perula oruthar koodathaan naan irupen"

Arjun got the thread and tied back for Madhav with a smile. Vihaan and Madhav hugged Arjun.  

Anjali- " appo project ku thaan vantheengala? koyilla poojai panna illaya? vanga nadanthukitae pesalam.. "

Sujithra- " rendum thaan akka.. intha oorula amman koyil ethavathu iruka akka?", They both walked talking casually. 

Anjali- " oor ellaila kaali amman koyil iruku.. ooruku naduvula mariyamman koyil iruku. ", She extended her hand for Sujithra.

Sujithra- " antha mariyamman koyilukulla kulam iruka..", She automatically placed her hand in hers. They both clubbed their hands and started to walk. 

Anjali- " illa, kulam kidaiyathu.."

Sujithra -" karuvaraila illama thaniah amman irukura mathiri.."

Anjali- " nee draupathi aaru pathi kekuriah?"

Sujithra- " draupathi aaraah? aana draupathi nerupula thane poranthanga.. ", She asked her with confusion.

Anjali giggled loudly and said " athu apadi illa da. antha aarukulla draupathi amman silai iruku. koodave Subathirai silaium iruku"

Sujithra -" aarukullaya?", she asked her with shock. 

Anjali- " amam.  draupathi porakkum pothu athavathu nerupula irunthu varum pothu, kanni ponna thaan vanthangalam", She rhythamically stated the story.

Sujithra- " theirum", she too answered her and encouraged her to continue the story.

Anjali- " athunala avangaluku intha kulanthai (childhood) paruvatha anubavikaama vitutom nu oru yetkam irunthathaam"

Sujithra- " gnayam thaan, athanala"

Anjali- " Antha yetkam avangaluku romba naala irunthatham. Arjnaru poi subathirai ah kalyanam panni kootitu vantharulla"

Sujithra- " amam, avaru oru bad boy.", Arjun slapped his forehead. Dharshini and Aishwarya giggled. 

Anjali- " ethu?", She asked her suddenly raising her voice. Madhav and Vihaan side glanced at each other. 

Sujithra- " amam 1000 pondatti vachirukuravaru good boy ah?"

Arjun- " Sujithra", he said in a stern voice. 

Anjali laughed loud, pinched her cheeks and said, " sila visayangal entha roobathula irunthalum entha nilai la irunthalum athoda iyalbu marathu."

Vihaan  and Madhav looked at each other. Arjun looked at them with furrowed eyebrows. Madhav and Arjun looked at each other. Madhav blinked at him. Guys started to observe everything keenly.

Sujithra- " apadina?"

Anjali- " ithu manaivi-oda iyalbu. poga poga unaku purium". Sujithra rolled her eyes biting her lips with cute get caught expression. 

Dharshini- " ipovae avaluku purium", She said teasingly.

Aishwarya- " inum theliva sollanumna nethae avaluku purinchiduchu". Girls laughed together. Guys didn't believe her statement.

Sujithra- " sari sari topic ah mathatheenga. neenga kathaiah continue pannunga"

Anjali chuckled and said, " subathirai varum pothu santhosathaium eduthutu vanthalam. Draupathi yoda sernthu ella vilayatum vilayaduvalam. avanga rendu perum mathavangaloda sernthu vilayaduratha yarum pakurathu draupathiku pudikatham"

Sujithra -" amam, yaravathu paatha free ah vilayada mudiathu thaan.. so?"

Anjali- " ipa, antha aarukulla kulnathaiah draupathium, subathiraium vilayaditu irukaangalam. yarum paaka koodathunu aarukulla irukangalam.. antha aarulaium oru visesham iruku. suthi irukura oorula entha ponnu vayasuku vanthalum, intha aarula irunthu thaan thanni eduthutu poi sadangu(function) seivanga. apadi senja ava manusuku pudicha mathiri purushan kidaipan nu oru nambikkai. draupathi ku avanga asaipatta padi Arjunar kidaicha mathiri. "

Aishwarya -" antha aaru enga iruku?"

Anjali- " Arjunar malai la oduthu.. koyiluku pinnadi irukum.."

Dharshini- " Arjunar malai ah?"

Anjali- " amam, antha malai paakurathuku villula ambu vacha mathiri irukum.. athunala apadi koopduvom. Intha pakkam nera pona, koyil vanthidum.. naan poitu varen."

Sujithra - " Romba thanks akka. ungala paathathula enaku romba santhosam. inum neenga evlo thooram poganum? adikadi intha pakkam varuveengala?"

Anjali smiled at her and said, "athellam naan pathukaren. nee antha aaruku poga poriah?"

Sujithra - " theriala ka. aththaan okay sonna poven.". Anjali kept her hand on Sujithra's head and smiled.

Anjali- " naan poitu varen ma"

Aishwarya- " neram agiduchae, sapatuku enna panuveenga? enga kooda saptutu poonga please"

Anjali- " enkita palangal(fruits) iruku, athuve pothum"

Dharshini gave a parcel to her and said, " Paravalla konjam enga sapdaium sapdunga. Nenga vangikita engaluku konjam nimmathiah irukum. illaina neenga sapteengalo illaio nu thonitae irukum"

Anjali smiled and got it from her. She nodded her head to everyone. She smiled at Vihaan and Madhav and nodded his head. They nodded and she started to leave towards her path. After taking few steps, She looked back at Arjun once but Arjun is speaking with Sujithra. Arjun and Sujithra are discussing. Anjali then smiled at them and left. Vihaan and Madhav noticed this.

Dharshini- " enanga, ethuku avanga namma Arjun ah pathute irukanga?"

Aishwarya- " Arjun oru varthai kooda pesala avanga kooda. Avanga pakkam kooda adhigam pakala, aanalum ivanga Arjun ah paathute irunthanga. ivanga Gavanam avan melaium irunthathu"

Vihaan and Madhav raised their eyebrows. 

Aishwarya - " ipadi paatha enna artham?"

Madhav- " neenga rendu perum epadi note paneenga? munnadi thane nadanthutu iruntheenga?"

Aishwarya- " athu ponnunga speciality. kannu munnadi pathalum, suthi nadakura ellathaium therinjuka mudium.. ipo ketathuku pathil sollunga"

Madhav- " theriala"

 Vihaan- " sari saptutu poi matha velaiah pakalam.. Ajju kum papa kum pasika arambichudum"

Then they joined Arjun and Sujithra whereas they are discussing with a paper in hand.

Sujithra - " antha lines enaku nalla gnabagam iruku.. nara jeevanin pirapidathil than thanmai maranthu devi ilanthathai petru kavaal kakiral..  nu varum.. So antha draupathi kulathukulla thaan irukuma aththaan"

Arjun-" irukalam, illamalum irukalam". Sujithra glared at him..  

Madhav- " antha paper ah kudu". Madhav and Vihaan looked at it.

Madhav- " antha river ah solra mathiri thaan iruku.. Nara jeevan na Arjunan nu artham.. Ithu pandavargal pirantha parai nu avanga sonanga"

Vihaan- " antha Arjunar malai la irunthu thaan river varutham. So athuvum sync aguthu."

Madhav- " than thanmai maranthu , ithuku artham nerupa irukura amman athoda iyalba vitutu kulurnthu irukura nathikulla irunthu"

Vihaan- " ilanthathai petru kavaal kakiral , illanthathai nu avanga childhood ah solranga. so antha river la amman kita thaan nee thedura suvadi irukanum"

Arjun- " ithanaium sonna avanga sollum pothe .. yarum pakakoodathunu draupathium Subathiraium thannikulla irukurathavum sonnanga"

Sujithra chuckled and said, " aththaan nee intha kathai ellam namburiah?"

Arjun- " illa Jiira kutty, itha ipadi eduthuka koodathu. antha aarukull aethavathu poisonous species irukalam, illa vera ethavathu problem irukalam.. yarum pathikapada koodathunu ipadi bayamuruthi vachirukalam"

Sujithra -" enna aththaan kolapura.."

Madhav- " he is right. namma konjam careful ah irukanum."

Arjun- " thanikulla en pakathulayae iru.. gavanama irukanum.."

Vihaan- " nee aarukulla vara vendam". Arjun stopped his track with shock. 

Arjun- "  anna  naan..."

Madhav- " naanga rendu perum Suji kooda porom. Nee ivanga pathuko. Ajju, gavanama irukanum"

Arjun looked at them with hesitation but nodded his head. They reached the temple within minutes. There is so much nature dust and leaves in the path. There is also a river flowing aside by lingam as said by Anjali. There is only lingam and the nandhi statue there. There is not even a roof there. They looked around and mentally noted the things needed to clean the place. 

Sujithra- " anna, pasikuthu.."

They all seated in a rock and started to unpack the food. They all had the food and then took rest for sometime. They drank the river water and it is very tasty. It also made them feel fresh. They then walked around the temple. 

They found a cave near to the temple. It looked so dark. Sujithra with much interest tried to enter into it. She touched the place, where there is a painting in it. She cleaned the dust and tried to look at the picture.

Madhav- " Suji maa.."

Sujithra without looking at the picture looked back and shouted, " anna.."

Madhav- " inga vaa". Sujithra hurriedly moved out without looking at the picture. 

Madhav- " ulla dark ah iruku, nee patuka pora.. vambu panna koodathu Suji. intha pakkam vaa"

Sujithra nodded her head and moved away with him. They then walked around the Sangu nathar temple. They found the Arjunar rock with a falls in it. Madhav, Vihaan and Sujithra got ready to enter into the river. 

Arjun -" Jiira, arvathula oru pakama poida koodathu. ivanga pakathula thaan swim pananum..". Sujithra nodded her head. 

Arjun- " Konja neram thaan thedanum.. time agiduchu.. venumna nalaiku kooda thedalam. adam pudichukitu ullayae iruka koodathu. intha thanni unaku othukumanu theriala"

Sujithra- " haan, athellam vanthiruven aththaan"

Arjun -" un project la evlo gavanam iruko athe gavanam un safety laium irukanum". Sujithra nodded her head.

Arjun -" olai chuvadi epadi irukumnae theriathu unaku. so santhegapadura mathiri ethavathu pathatha nee poi thotratha. athu ethavathu speices ah kooda irukalam".  Sujithra nodded her head.

Vihaan- " dei pothum daa, naanga pathukarom"

Arjun- " illlana first time la, athaan konjam bayama iruku"

Madhav untied his thread and tied in Arjun's hand. 

Arjun -" Madhava naan thaan"

Madhav -" nee unnaium pakanum, avangala pathukanum. naan velila vanthathum marupadium vangikaren.". Arjun looked at him with confusion. 

Madhav- " entha kayirum illamalaeyae naan ethanaio pamba deal paniruken. you know that." he patted Arjun back gently and said, "careful Arjuna. naanga vantharom". Arjun nodded his head. Sujithra once looked at Arjun. 

Madhav, Vihaan and Sujithra jumped into the river. They started to search for the statue. They swim deep into the river. While moving, Sujithra stretched her body for convenience and  happened to near the plants often. She put much effort to swim back to Madhav and Vihaan. Unfortunately the thread fall from her hand to her dress in that process. Due to her swim, She waved her body and it fell from her dress to the river. 

Here outside, Arjun sat restlessly staring at the river biting her nails since he started to feel something wrong. Dharshini and Aishwarya sat on his either sides.

Dharshini- " en kolunthanaru ethuku iapdi irukaaram Aishu?"

Aishwarya- " avaru paathi uyiru ippo ulla poirukulla, athaan di."

Arjun - " ungaluku kindala irukulla?", he pouted at them cutely.

Dharshini -" pinna enna Arjun. athaan orutharuku rendu peru kooda poirukangala apuram enna?"

Aishwarya- " athanae, ithu thaan un nambikkaia?"

Arjun- " apadi illa akka. ava konjam chutti ka. arvathula athanaium maranthiduva.. Ithu thaan avaluku first time vera athaan konjam..", He smiled sheephishly. 

Dharshini-" athellam ava jammunu eduthutu vanthiduva. amam ethuku antha Anjali ponnu unnayae paathukitu iruntha". She diverted him.

Arjun- " ennayava?"

Aishwarya- " theriatha mathiri nadikatha da. "

Arjun- "athu... aana naan avangala pakala.."

Dharshini -" pesavum illa"

Here in the river, They went deep inside and saw the statues there. Both the statues were looked like a girl statue. Once had the same color dress which Sujithra is wearing and the other statue is dressed with the same color which Anjali is wearing. Madhav, Vihaan and Sujithra is shocked to see the statue. The similarity in the dress color disturbed both Madhav and Vihaan. Something is happening inside them. 

Sujithra is happy that she found it. She neared the statue without minding Madhav and Vihaan in interest. Madhav and Vihaan tried to stop her but before that she reached the statue in a single push. She touched the Draupathi statue. 

Outside, There is a heavy thunder suddenly and it started raining. Arjun got panicked. 

Aishwarya -' enna thideernu malai peiyuthu"

Dharshini -" athuvum ipadi idikuthu, thideernu vanam karuthu pochu... ".

Here inside, Sujithra touched Draupathi statue hands with both her hands. 

Outside there is a heavy thunder again, Aishwarya and Dharshini closed their eyes and ears in fear. 

Arjun-" anni, akka.. ini inga utkara vendam.. apadi gugai kulla pogalam vaanga". The trio moved to the nearby cave with his guidnance. 

Arjun is struggling in himself. He cant leave them and dive into the river and also he has the push to know what is happening inside the river. 

Here Inside the river, Once Sujithra clubbed with Draupathi hands, the statue moved a little from its place. Sujithra unable to balance the statue weight. Madhav came there and hold the statue. Below the statue, she saw a old box. She tried to move that but unable to since it is clutched but the plants. Sujithra tried to move away the plant. Vihaan stopped her. 

Outside, the rain started to shower heavily. Thunder is also there with lightening. Dharshini and Aishwarya started to shiver. Arjun felt something happening inside him.

Inside the river, Vihaan patiently and slowly removed the box without hurting the plant. Sujithra observed his act keenly. She was amazed by the way Vihaan took the box out. Madhav again placed the statue in its place and moved towards Sujithra. Vihaan gave the box to Sujithra. Sujithra analyzed it and signaled as she needs a key. 

Madhav and Vihaan started to search around the statue. Sujithra looked at the Draupathi statue, it looked like smiling at her. Sujithra too smiled at the statue unknowingly. Draupathi 's necklace part shined a little. Sujithra keenly looked at it. She found a key like shape in the model of it. 

Sujithra moved towards the statue. Madhav and Vihaan too noticed and neared her, since they know that she will do things without letting them know. Sujithra touched the necklace and shake it a little. She then screwed it and a key came out from the necklace. 

Outside, There is a heavy thunder in the cloud and the rain pressure got increased. 

Inside, Sujithra smiled and shouted there itself in joy. Out of much interest, She placed the key in the whole at the box. A lightning strikes a river, and fell on Sujithra. The light made Madhav and Vihaan to close their eyes for seconds. 

Sujithra is attacked by the lightning. Madhav and Vihaan got shocked to the core. The box from the key fell on Vihaan from her hand. He got the box and hold her hand. Madhav and Vihaan both carried her out of the river. 

Outside, The trio noticed that the lightning fell on the river. Arjun is shocked to the core. 

Arjun shouted looking at the river, " Sujithra..."
