On the other side, the couples reached the door but tried to open it. But they cant open it. Vihaan started to tremble a little. 

Madhav- " nithanatha ilakatha.. enaku ippo vali kuranchuduchu.. anegama Ajju than Suji ah samathana paduthirukanum.. konjam relax ah full force la thallu unaku nadunguthu.."

Vihaan composed himself, gathered his energy and tried to pull the door along with Madhav. But they didn't able to.  Dharshini and Aishwarya started to sob, praying.

Inside the chamber, Sujithra- " enna aththaan yosikura?"

Arjun- " intha koyil la gens shirt poda koodathunu solrathu evlo nalla condition ah iruku paaren.."

Sujithra - " dei..", She whined.

Arjun- " utkanthupoma? Nee en madila utkanthuko"

Arjun sat down and Sujithra sat in his lap, burying herself inside him. Sujithra just placed her legs alone down. She is scared of this place. She wrap her hands around his neck and lied in his shoulder. Arjun hold her securely. He understood her feelings. She felt safe when she is in him, even she lifted her leg above without touching the floor. She is that much scared and Arjun felt a little vibration in her body due to the fear. 

On the other side, The two couples reached the door, they searched outside space to check whether they are present anywhere just in hope. Without any thought, they still try to push and pull the door, but the door didn't moved even a little. Dharshini and Aishwarya too tried to push it along with them. but no use.

Inside, Arjun- " paatu padalama?", He wrap her with his hands.

Sujithra -" ipova?"

Arjun- " naama ippo enga irukom theriuma?", he whispered in her ear just to avoid the echo which is scaring her a lot. There is a little fear in her. 

Sujithra- " enga.."

Arjun- " Krishnar oda kaluthu illaina idhayathuku keala irukalam.. pothuva ellaralaium thoorathula irunthu than kadavula paka mudium.. naama ipo avaruku keela, pakathula irukom, ippo avara pathi padalaina epadi ma? athulaium ithu mummoorthy um moolavara (Main god) irukura koyil vera"

Sujithra- " mummoorthy ah?"

Arjun- " amam, Perumal thalai kita Lingama siva peruman irukaaru, thooppul kodi la irunthu vantha mathiri, Brahma irukaaru, perumal-oda paatha tharisanamum kidaikum.. intha koyila moonu theivathaium vanaga thane moonu vasal iruku.. moonu perum ore idathula moolavara irukanga jiira kutty.. Naama ipo antha theivathoda silai ku keela irukom.. ithu evlo special. Naama mummoorthy ku keela irukum, vasudevar idhayathula irukom"

Sujithra felt goosebumps hearing his words. She is amazed by his devotion. He is right in his each words. 

Outside, Dharshini and Aishwarya too joined them and tried to push but nothing happened. Madhav left out a long breathe, closed his eyes and relaxed. 

Vihaan -" enna Maddy thoraka varala..", he muttered with little scared.

Madhav- "ithu Maragathathoda vela..apadi yosichu paatha, namalala thoraka mudiatha intha kathava kandiapa Maragathathalaium thuranthiruka mudiathu. appo intha door ku key irukunu artham.."

Vihaan- " door la ethuvum key illayae.."

Madhav- " konjam yosichu paarunga Maragatham key eduthutu poitala?". All four thought a little. 

Vihaan -" pinnadi pinnadi thirumbi paathu odina, Madhava.. yaruko theriama odina mathiri"

Madhav- " appo athu kandipa Ajju illaina Suji kita irunthu thaan odirakunam."

Vihaan -" antha angle la yosichu paatha, kandipa key inga thaan irukanum.. appo keela vilunthirukuma?"

Madhav- " thedunga.. ". They all searched for the key. 

Inside the chamber meanwhile, Sujithra - " nee solrathu sari thaan aththaan.. Krishnar idhayathula irunthukitu alugavo bayapadavo koodathu.. anathama padanum.."

Arjun kissed her forehead and straightened his leg, She too straightened her legs placing hers on him. She leaned back on his chest, He back hugged him. Arjun slowly placed his fingers on her eyes to make it closed always. He didn't want her to open and get scared. Sujithra smiled at his care. Yes opening eyes is scary. even after spending this much time in dark, this is not easy for the eyes to trace the things near to them. It is full of black and dark.

Sujithra slowly whispered, "Atma Rama Ananda Ramana"

Arjun- " saththama paadu ma.. intha room full ah namma sangeetham than kekanum.. padalama.."

Sujithra with her honey voice, " Atma Rama Ananda Ramana"

Arjun- " Atma Rama Ananda Ramana". The whole room had a vibration and echoed their melody voice.. Now the echo is not scary. It is a pure bliss. They changed the environment too. Sujithra tilt her head once and kissed arjun cheeks for turning the completely scary one to a blissful once. The vibration gave a power too. They happily sung. 

Arjun believed that this vibration and sound will help Vihaan and Madhav. Arjun is not in a position to leave Sujithra aside and check for the way to go out from this room. She is hell scared. Now his priority is to make her normal as she is nearing the faint stage. Arjun believed that Vihaan and Madhav will search for them along with Aishwarya and Dharshini. 

Outside the chamber, Everyone heard a mile echo with vibration. they neared the door and searched for some hole. They found a hole where the key will be inserted. Vihaan peeked into it to see anything. It is completely dark. His heart beat raised. Madhav keep his ears on the whole to hear the things. The thing he heard is 

Arjun and Sujithra -" Acchutha Kesava Hari Narayana, Acchutha Kesava Hari Narayana"

Madhav felt a vibration in his body. Vihaan looked at Madhav, Madhav moved a little and Vihaan placed his ears to hear. The thing he heard is,

Arjun and Sujithra -" Atma Rama Ananda Ramana, Atma Rama Ananda Ramana "

Dharshini and Aishwarya looked at each other with tears. 

Madhav looked at the girls and said, " inga vaanga, avanga bajanai panitu irukanga.. ipothaiku avangaluku onum illa.. intha sound ah ketukitae irunga,.. avanga nirutha koodathu, satham kekalaina udane sollunga"

Arjun and Sujithra -"Bhava Bhaya Harana Vandita Charana Bhava Bhaya Harana Vandita Charana"

Dharshini and Aishwarya moved near the door and heard, 

Arjun and Sujithra -"Raghukula Bhushana Raajeeva Lochana Raghukula Bhushana Raajeeva Lochana "

Dharshini and Aishwarya looked at each other and keenly watched the sound. Madhav and Vihaan searched for the key for sometime. Madhav then neared the door and actioned them to move away. 

Inside, Arjun and Sujithra -"Atma Rama Ananda Ramana, Atma Rama Aananda Ramana"

Madhav neared the key whole and took a five rupee coin which is weigh more than the other coins and dropped it. He observed its movement. it went aside to the door part, below a pillar. 

Madhav- "  unga yaarkitayachum ipo pen iruka? "

Arjun and Sujithra -" Aadhi Naaraayana Aananta Shayana Aadhi Naaraayana Aananta Shayana"

Aishwarya checked for it and gave him. Vihaan got it from Madhav, lied on the floor and tried to check for it. With the help of the it, slowly he traced the key and pulled it out. 

Madhav -" fast ah edu daa.. intha bajanaiah avanga mudikurathukulla thurakanum"

Arjun and Sujithra -" Sachidananda Sri Sathya Naaraayana Sachidananda Sri Sathya Naaraayana"

Aishwarya- " yaen apadi?"

Madhav- " Arjun summa irukura aal illa, avan paaditu irukaana athuku karanam Suji thaan. aduthu avan yosika arambichuduvaan. "

Dharshini -" athu nallathu thane anna"

Arjun and Sujithra- " Atma Rama Ananda Ramana Atma Rama Aananda Ramana"

Vihaan came out give the key to Madhav saying, " ulla enna irukunae theriathu shalu.. Arjunan kaila onumae illa. ethava vachu epadi theduvaan.. ulla ethavathu poochi iruntha, enna panrathu.. Avan papavaium pakanum, velila vara valiyaium thedanum."

Girls understood the situation. Tears flown from their eyes. 

Arjun and Sujithra- " Atma Rama Ananda Ramana Atma Rama Aananda Ramana"

Madhav placed the key in the hole saying, " ava chinna ponnu, bayanthirupaa, enna theduva", He unlocked using the key.. 

Arjun and Sujithra- " Acchutha Kesava Hari Narayana  Acchutha Kesava Hari Narayana".  Arjun and Sujithra completed the bhajan. 

Madhav opened the door widely. Slowly the the light rays went inside the room. All four looked at Arjun and Sujithra. Sujithra sat on the lap of Arjun having her hands in a praying manner and singing soulfully completely forgetting the outside world. Arjun is having her hands on Sujithra eyes closing it. Arjun looked at the four. 

Sujithra- " Haree Krishna.." She soulfully called. Arjun removed his hands. 

Madhav- " Suji ma"

Sujithra opened her eyes the next second and looked at Madhav. Tear started to flow from her eyes. She stood up and ran to him..

Sujithra- " anna... anna... anna..", She raced to him and hugged him tightly. The tight says how scared she is. Automatically the 

Arjun too got up and noticed the door is closing. 

Arjun- " pudinga, pudinga, dei anna pudi daa,,...", he shouted which is echoed in the room. he started to jog.

Vihaan- " ethada?"

Arjun- "door"

All looked back and sensed the door is closing except Sujithra. She is hearing her brother heart beat with shivering due to the echo. Vihaan tried to stop it. Arjun too joined him but the door is too strong and heavy. They both tried to hold it, but failed. They moved their hands out when the doors neared and closed. the door closing sound is echoed. 

Sujithra tightly hugged Madhav visibly shivering. Even Aishwarya and Dharshini closed their ears due to the echo. The darkness filled the room, They could not able to see the persons next to each other. 

Aishwarya- " enaku onume theriala.."

Dharshini- " bayama iruku."

Sujithra- " anna... ", her voice too trembled. 

Madhav- " Naan inga thaan iruken Suji ma, relax.. waru, Dharshini panic agatheenga.. relax..", after a moment, "Waru, nee vilaku ethurathuku match box eduthu vachalla.. athu entha bag la iruku?"

Aishwarya- " haan, enkita thaan iruku.. one min", She searched, took the match box out and lighted it. 

They all able to each other. Sujithra still shivered with closed eyes. Vihaan hugged Arjun meanwhile. 

Madhav- " Suji ma, kanna thoranthu paaru.. anna va paaru.. inga paaru iruta illa.. ". Sujithra slowly opened her eyes and looked around. 

Sujithra- " anna..", She sobbed, it echoed. 

Madhav- " anna vanthuten.. anna kita thaan iruka", he combed her hair and gently pat her back. 

Arjun -" engala kaapathuveenga nu paatha, enga kooda sernthu neengalum matikiteenga.. key ah velilayae vitutu vanthirupeengalae..", he teased to change the tension in the environment.

Asihwarya- " engaluku epadi da therium athu thaana moodikum nu"

Vihaan- " enna arjuna nee, papa va kootitu velila vara pakama, ipadi utkanthu bajana panitu irukaa"

Aishwarya kept lightening the match sticks. 

Arjun- " Naan intha room kulla varum pothu ava entha nilaimaila iruntha theriuma anna? aluthu aluthu sevanthu poi iruntha... mayangi viluga pona.. enaku muthalla avala sari pananum nu thaan thonuchu.. athuku apuram velila porathuku vali thedalam nu nianchaen"

Vihaan- " appo neeum papavum onna matikalaya?"

Arjun -" illa anna, avala yaaro ulla vachu pootirukanga.. avasarathula key ah door layae vitutu poirunthanga.. atha vachu thaan ulla vanthaen.. mayanga ponavala pudichu sari panrathukullayae door lock agiduchu... thoraka mudiala.. ivala sari panikitu irunthaen.."

Madhav- " Suji ma, nee epadi daa inga vantha? ingaa paaru anna va paaru maa"

Sujithra looked up at him, with sobbing, " anna, pisasu.. valayal theda... enkooda... inga vanthu... enna thalli.. kathava.. pooti.. anna.. irutu ... ", her trembling lips, tear flowing eyes and the way she controlled her cries to complete the statement said the struggle she went through..

Suijthra- " naan.. ", she actioned like beating the door, " yarum.. ", she actioned that no one came, " irutu anna', she looked at around with utmost fear.. " romba satham..", she closed her ears with whole body shivering, " appo aththaan.. ", she pointed Arjun with her forefinger once then looked at Madhav and hugged him, " anna". 

Madhav hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. Dharshini and Aishwarya had tears. Vihaan and Madhav felt a sharp pain when Sujithra suffered. 

Arjun- " romba alatha jiira, yerkanave unaku mayakam vanthathu.. unga yarkitayachum thanni irukaa"

Dharshini gave water to Madhav. He patted Sujithra and gave her. Sujithra had water and felt the water flow in her body too. 

Madhav- " alatha Suji ma, aththaan ellarum vanthutomla.. ini ellam sari agitom.. anna unna velila kootitu poren okay va?"

Arjun- " engalaium kootitu po Madhava.. un thangatchi alavuku alugalainalum, light ah bayama thaan iruku". 

Sujithra glared at him. Arjun winked at her. Sujithra smiled. 

Vihaan- " sari vaanga suthi enna irukunu pakalam.. motha theekutchium theerurathukulla ulla enna iruku epadi velila pogalam nu pakalam"

Sujithra automatically moved away from Madhav. She composed herself a little once she had water. She neared Arjun and let them to search. They all looked around the room, it is full of waste and dust.

Dharshini- " intha ithu full ah kupaiah iruku.. ". Madhav search for the wooden stick. he found one.. There are some cloth dust too. 

Madhav took two rocks and Vihaan took the cloth and tied on one end for each. Aishwarya and Dharshini lighted the cloth understanding the signal. One is held by Madhav and the other is held by Vihaan. 

Now there is more light in the room. 

Sujithra- " happada ipo than konjam nalla iruku", She moved a little away from Arjun and joined Dharshini and Aishwarya. 

Madhav- " bayapada onum Suji ma.. just oru room avlo thaan. vanga thedalam".

Madhav walked first, Aishwarya and Dharshini followed him having Sujithra in the middle of them. Vihaan and Arjun followed them at the last having another wooden rock. 

They walked inside the room and searched everywhere.. the room is big and so they walked around.. After passing the dust they saw some boxes. Arjun and Vihaan neared one box and with much force they opened the box. There are things that is covered with cloth. On removing it, they found diamond. It shined in the dark room. 

Sujithra-" vairama? minnuthu?"

Dharshini- " amam.. pathale theriuthu..", Guys opened some more boxes and found gold things in it.. 

Aishwarya- " appo intha room fulla thangam, vairaam, vaidooriam thana?"

Vihaan- " antha kaalathu suthamana thangam, raja kalathu thangam.."

Arjun - " athu thaan kathavu thaan moodikuthu pola" 

Sujithra- " sari, ippo epadi velila porathu?'

Madhav- " raja kalam nalae suranga pathai kandipa irukum.. so thedi pakalam"

They all walked further without taking anything from the box. They are not interested in enjoying that. They are now focused on leaving this chambers. 

They all found a mark on the wall. Madhav gave the wooden stick to Aishwarya and touched the wall. Arjun neared Madhav and helped him. That particular part get rotated and moved. Arjun moved away. 

Madhav leaned and looked at the surrounding. Arjun got the wooden stick from Madhav. Madhav jumped into the other side. Aishwarya sat in the wall. Madhav lifted her to his side by clutching her waist. Then, Arjun gave the wooden stick to Madhav. 

Sujithra came and Arjun lifted her and pushed her to the other side. Madhav caught her when Sujithra jumped. Then Arjun caught the wooden stick from Vihaan. Vihaan then jumped to the other side. Dharshini sat in the wall. Vihaan lifted her to his side. Arjun then with the wooden stick jumped to the other side in his way. Madhav nodded his head as no.

Vihaan- " theriatha idathula kurangu thanam pannatha Ajju.. methuva kuthikalamla"

Arjun -" illana, ithu than vasathiah irunthathu"

Vihaan- " naan pudichupaen la"

Arjun -" nee anniya pakanumla..". Vihaan glared at him. Arjun blinked at him. Sujithra neared Arjun and hugged him. 

Sujithra- " bayama iruku aththaan", she acted to save from Vihaan

Arjun -" nee bayapadatha vaa suthi pakaalm"

Madhav - " sari sari vaanga.."

They looked around and walked inside. On their way inside they happened to see another door but it is completely different from other doors.

Girls shouted loudly forgetting the room will echo their voice. Madhav hugged Aishwarya while Arjun hugged Sujithra tightly. Sujithra closed her eyes and clutched Arjun. 

Dharshini shivered a lot. She felt like these snakes that is drawn in the door is already seen. She trembled even in Vihaan hug. She felt like the snake came to her flying and bite her. 

Dharshini fainted in Vihaan's hand. 

Vihaan- " shalu, shalu ma.. shalu..", he patted her cheeks. 

But Dharshini is deep inside her finding the memories. The most fearful memory. While Pandava cleared the Kandava vanam to create Indiraprastham, many snakes attacked their people. Vrushali too happened to witness everything. She happened to see the snake very near to her.

Slowly Dharshini collected her memories..

How is it?

As per the request given update sooner. 

Many could have felt like the heroism missing in this story for Arjun. This story is the completely different one. If you read again, you will come across Arjun intelligence at many places. Since he is the youngest one, you cant feel the leader Arjun here. Arjun is a enjoying character in this book and not the leader. Arjun and Sujithra only take the story to the next part.. Only through them everything will be unfolded and discovered. Each character has it own importance.. 

Mostly Arjun and Sujithra will mirror normal people emotions, our emotions.. They will be like one among us. In each point, when they are saved i believe like we will also be saved by our god and by our belief; no matter what will be the situation is. Hope you got it..
