Vikraman and Veera took her to the car. They then started their travel. Kaali looked at them and the car. He left out a long breathe.

Few distance back, Vetrivel and Radhika looked at all these with tear filled eyes. Vetrivel side-hugged Radhika and Patted her. Kaali turned and noticed them.

Kaali- "ellam seekram sariah poidum.. "

Vetrivel- "enga ponna thaan gnayama unaku kodukanum... aana, nee than ipo engaluku enga ponna thirupi kodukapora.."

Kaali- "enna sir ithu ipadi ellam pesikitu..."

Radhika - "nee nalla irupa paa... ", she said with tears and left from there. 

Kaali and Vetrivel then came to the middle of the area. Kaali signaled his team to assemble. Everyone came in front of him. Some one stepped down from the nearby hut which is built in the top. In that hut, a huge projector is also present. An old man too accompanied him. He is having many dolls, which is having a black stick as legs, in his hands. He too stepped down and assembled there.

Kaali- "Team, iniaku neenga enaku panathu miga peria uthavi.. intha naan epavum maraka maten. "

Team Member 1- "Sir, It is our duty sir. engala pirichu pakatheenga. neenga evlavo enga family ku panirukeenga. athuku munnadi ithu ellam oru visayame illa"

Team Member 2- "naanga thaan sir thanks solanum intha oppurtunity ah engaluku thanthathuku. inaiku ivangaluku iruthi sadangu panatha naanga ellarum periumaiah ninaikurom sir"

Kaali then turned towards the old man and said, "romba nandri thatha... Romba thathrubama ovoru aathmavum velichatha nokki pona mathiri irunthathu... neenga panathu peria uthavi.. ava manasara ellaroda aathmavum saanthi adanchiruchunu nambitta. Romba thanks thatha.. "

Old Man- "ada vidu pa, ithula enna iruku... en bommalata kalai-ala oru ponnuku nimathi, santhosam , valkai kidaikum na atha vida santhosam enaku vera ethuvum illa. antha ponnu ipo epadi iruku? vilunthita mathiri therinchathu..."

Kaali- " satharana mayakkam thaan thatha. konja nerathula seri agidum.. adhigapadiyana athirchia thanga mudiama vilunthuta.. "

Old Man- "nallathu pa, enakaga en pondatti kaathiruppa naan varatuma?"

Kaali- "saringa thatha." he looked back.

Person 1- " Naan kondu poi vidaren sir. ". They left. Kaali then ordered his team to disperse with a thank you note. 

Kaali- "Vaanga sir, veetuku polam"

Vetrivel- "Drive pana mudium nu thonala pa. naanga konja neram kalichu porom.. Nee kilambu"

Kaali- "naan drive panren.. Veetuku poitu apuram naan hotel ku poikuren". Kaali dropped them in home and then he travelled towards Hotel room. 

In Hotel Room,  Durga slowly got conscious, but she is unable to open eyes or move her body. At the same time, Kaali entered the room. As usual she can able to hear everything. 

Veera- "vaa da mapla, ellam mudinchatha?"

Kaali- "hmm, epadi iruka ippo?", he sat next to her in the bed and touched her hand. 

Vikraman- "inum oru 15 minutes la mayakam thelinchudum. ellam normal ah iruku.. "

Kaali- "nijamave mayakathula thaan irukaala? un josiyatha nambalama?"

Vikraman- "dei.. "

Veera- "oru thadava thappana epavum thappa agiduma enna? Apadiye avaluku ninaivu vantha kooda enna ippo?"

Kaali- "ava ninaivu vanthu ethayavathu pathi pathiya ketutu apuram athuku thaguntha mari mudivu edutha ellame sothapidum.. "

Veera- "athellam onum sothapaathu.. nee Kaali illainu kandupudichathunala enna perusa change aachu.."

Vikraman- "athane, solapona athukapuram nee relax agita avlo thaan. perusa plan la entha change um illa, timing thaan change aachu. nallathu than nadanthathu.. "

Kaali- " ella neramum apadi irukaathu.. avaluku oru visayam munnadiye therium pothu ava atha ninaichu romba yosippa da.. ethuku avaluku theva illatha thala vali"

Veera- "yosikuratha vitutu namma kita kaeta solida porom"

Kaali- "ava inum strong agala da.. inaiku Mam, ennala thaan ivalum mam nu koopdaranu sonnapo, oru nimisham nadunguchu avalukku. Sir-oda chain ah ava vendam nu sonathu, avara mulusa yethuka mudiama thaan... Enakaga illa"

Vikraman- "are you sure?"

Kaali- "100%. Naan koduththa, atha ava vendam nu solla mata. avaluku ellam puriuthu but yethuka mudiala... she needs time da... enamo thadukuthu avala.... seekram kandu pudikuren..."

Veera- "mmm... appa vum amma vum aluthangala?"

Kaali- "epadi alugama irupanga? but okay.. sir konjam strong ah irukaru"

Vikraman- "sari naanga kilambarom.. papa eppo venalum mulikalam... Dei, nalaiku neenga hotel la yae irunga... velila vara vendam.. peria problem aaga chance iruku.. "

Kaali- "naan paathukaren"

Veera- "news ellam paaka vidatha...  neeyae pakuvama sollu"

Kaali- "ava onum avlo bayanthava illa.... apadiye ava appa mathiri iruka. nee kurachi yedai podatha.... "

Veera- "sonna kekava pora? enamo panni thola... papa bathiram daa, asault ah irukaatha.. ethunalum call pannu... konjam careful ah iru daa.."

Kaali- "enaku theirum kilambungada.. ". They chuckled and left the room. Durga heard everything. 

Kaali had a bath, changed his dress and sat next to her in the bed. He then lied next to her hugging her. Once he hugged her, strangely Durga can able to move her body. She rolled over, hugged him with closed eyes. Kaali kissed her forehead. Durga's mind replayed the flash which has the scene of all the souls merged with god. Durga felt an inner peace, happiness, unknown relaxation and slept within some minutes. Kaali too slept with her. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, after doing their chores. Kaali ordered breakfast for both. Durga came near to him. 

Durga- "Naan ingayae irukalama? illa anga kootitu poi vituduveengala?"

Kaali- "ini nee en kooda thaan, naaan un kooda thaan. ", he said in a promising manner. She smiled widely.

Durga - Neenga busy ah??

Kaali placed his phone in the table and said, "illa ma, sollu"

Durga- "illa edutha ella udambukum nethu sadangu paniyacha??"

Kaali looked at her and said, " amam ma.. athula enna santhegam?"

Durga- " nijamave ella udambaium naethu than edutheengala?". Kaali had a deep look at her raising his eyebrows questioningly.

Durga- " illa, nethu eduthathum entha test um panama, post-moterm panama, evidence collect panama .... ethuvume panama neenga sadangu paniruka vaipu illa... athan kaetaen"

(AN: based on the true incident, modified many for the story)

Kaali smiled at the corner of his lips and said, " you are right. Ella bodies um mudhallaye eduthutom... nethu morning kaamichathula first 5 bodies than real one... apuram case serious nu ella media-vaium velila anupitom... athuku apuram nadantha ellame set up thaan.. bommaiah thaan bodies nu velila eduthom... but sonna reports ellam correct reports thaan.  nethu news la thirumba thirumba potathu antha 5 bodies ah edukum pothu edutha video clippings thaan."

Durga -" ethuku ivlo poi? En dummy bodies vacheenga??"

Kaali -" antha ponnugaluku nadantha kodumaiah ketavathu avangala pethavanga, avanga sonthakaranga thudithudichu varuvanganu ethir paathen. Aana kudumba gouravam thaan mukiam nu irunthutaga.

Iruthi sadangulaium kooptrupen.. apadi enna avangaluku bayamum gouravamum perusa pochu??... ithana bodies eduthomae, oru missing complaint kooda file agala theriuma?"

Durga -" oh... corect thaan... apadiye palagitanga... yaraiyachum kaanum na 5 naal papanga... apuram kariyam pana arambichuduvanga..."

Kaali -" yen apadi?"

Durga- "ithuku munnadi thappu nadanthapo gnayam keta yarum ipo uyiroda illa .. avanga kudumbame uyiroda illa.. ini yarum ethirka koodathunu romba kodumaiah, kodurama savadichangalam..... athuku apuram thaan 'irukuravangala-yavathu kaapathanum nu' ethirthu kekurathu illa avlo uyir bayam .... pothuvave pombala pullaigala vera yaarkitayachum koduthu thaan valapanga... thiruvila ku koopda kooda bayapuduvanga... yarum illathavanga, vera vali illama intha oorla irukanga... inga pengalae athunala thaan adhigama illa...."

Kaali - " ini ellam maridum ma.."

Durga - " nethu iruthi sadangu pannathu, 2 days la ellam mudikanum nu neenga ninaikurathu thaan karanama illa vera ethavathu karanam iruka??"

Kaali - " udambu romba decompose aga arambiduchum oru reason.."

Durga-" hmm, tv podava?"

Kaali - " ethuku permission ellam kekura? Unaku thonuratha sei.."

Durga nodded his head and switch on the TV. She purposefully changed to a news channel remembering their conversation of yesterday. Kaali started to observe her. Durga felt that Kaali is observing her.. she smiled at him.

In the news channel, a reporter said, " ipothu neengal parthu kondirupathu muthupandi maruthuvamanaiyil oruvarin uthaviyodu veliye sellum katchiyai thaan.. itharku velan enbavurum udantbai.. velan enbavar muthupandiyidam velai seipavar enbathu kuripidathakathu.. avar veliye senra naalil than ooril pala kolaigal nadanthirupathal, muthupandi thaan avatrai seithirukalam ena kaval thurai santhegikurathu..."

Durga -" appa kolai panangala??", she muttered very slowly with confusion and shock.

Kaali -" avan onum un appan illa..."

Durga -" athu okay... ini appa nu solala.. aana.."

In the news, the news readers said, " than maganai ilantha avar, antha kolaikku karanamaga irukalam ena santhega padumbadi-yaga iruntha ovoruvaraium miga koduramaga kondru athai oor naduve-yum, kovil lìl ambaal sannathi munnaeyum  potirukalam enna satchigalum thadayangalum koorugirathu"

It also played that video, captured by CCTV footage, in which muthupandi is going out with velan without any one notice in the hostipal... the way they hided themselves, cross checking their path again and again, jogging on the way, hide their face and escaped from the hospital says everything... in the another video, they returned to the hospital in the same manner..

Durga was shocked to see the news.

Kaali -" ethuku ipo nee shock agura.."

Durga -" nee police ah illa maayaviah? Epadi unnala ipadi ellam pana mudiuthu? Ithellam namma pannathu  aana atha evlo criminal ah avar pana mathiri set panita..."

Kaali just smiled in response..

Durga-" avar mela case strong agiduchu, inaiku oorukulla kalavaram irukum... avar jaathikaranga sonthakaranga neraiah per oorukulla vanthu rowdism panuvanga... athunala thaan naama inga irukoma??"

Kaali -" athunalaium thaan..."

Durga- " inaiku 5 aavathu naal, inaiyoda ellam mudingudum la?"

Kaali -" namma velai ellam mudinchudum.."

Durga - " appo ivangaluku ellam punishment?"

Kaali-" ini ellame vetri sir control la vanthidum... unaku enna pananum nu sollu panidaren.."

Durga -" yosichu solren... aama, ipadi thaan unga job irukuma?? Unga adayalatha maathikitu, angaye vaalnthu kandu pudikura mathri?..."

Kaali -" athu mathrium irukum..."

Durga -" appo ini enga ponalum naanum varuven, unga wife ah... ini bachelor ah ellam ethuvum panna vendam"

He laughed out loud and hugged her.. She blushed cutely and expected an answer from him. She looked at him.

Kaali -" ena pathila ethir pakura? yosi di, en makku silvandu .... naan entha per la irunthalum nee solli atha naan mudiathunnu solirukena?"

Durga started to think about everything from the day they met. It gave her a different feel. Her mind rewinded and flashed her the scenes of their journey till date. She smiled with shining eyes.
