The trio neared Raghuvaran running towards him. Soon the people around them moved away and the goons surrounded them. Amrutha got the baby from Raghuvaran and hugged it, hiding safely.

Raghuvaran -" kulanthai bathiram ammu". Agasthiyan and Rishinandhan looked at each other once.

The ghost neared the baby and tried to hug them, but she can't. Ghost tried again and again crying but she can't able to. Rishinandhan noticed everything with a pain. Goon started to attack them. Raghuvaran, Agasthiyan and Rishinandhan started to fight with them. Three of them tried to shield Amrutha and baby. Slowly the trio is in the position to handle two goons at a time.

Agasthiyan - " Kulanthaioda odiru ma "

Amrutha- ' entha pakkam poga anna? enaku bayama iruku"

Raghuvaran- " right side poo ammu. jakrathaiah, odum pothu kulanthaiah iruki pudichuratha", Amrutha nodded her head but in a hurry she started to run in the left side where a goon is coming.

Rishinandhan with a swift move, pushed the goon and shot the another goon hand and leg who is about to near Amrutha. Amrutha shouted in shock and the baby cried. Amrutha panted and blinked to do anything and everything is completely new to her.

Ghost- " achacho, ammu odu ma.. kulanthai bayapaduraan. seekram poo.. ".

Rishi- " poo naan iruken". Amrutha nodded and started to run again, ghost followed her.

Ghost- " ammu ammu, kallu iruku paathu.. vilunthuratha..". Rishi heard all the ghost comments which is helping him to understand about Amrutha while fighting with the goons. He keenly heard all the ghost words to understand the happening. Rishi, while fighting, he too moved towards the direction of Amrutha and maintained the distance nearer to Amrutha, using Ghost voice.

Ghost- " dei kadankarangala vidungada pullaigala? ambi ethavathu pannuda. seekram oodu maa.."

Rishinandhan, Agasthiyan and Raghuvaran almost fought with 12 men till now. Raghuvaran was now target by three goons and with no other option Agasthiyan took his gun and shot the goon's leg after wasting two bullets missing the target. Amrutha is very much scared hearing the gun shot, she stopped and turned back to make sure that the shouting persons is the goons. 

Rishi- " thirumbi pakama oodu, we are fine".

Amrutha turned and started to run. If a goon neared Amrutha, Rishi while fighting will shot the goon simulataneously, who is nearing Amrutha. Rishi will shoot either his hands or legs. Rishinandhan also reduced the distance between him and Amrutha. Goons signaled between themself and everyone pushed Agasthiyan and Raghuvaran down and ran towards Amrutha on the other way since their target is only the baby. Agasthiyan and Raghuvaran got up and ran towards Amrutha, sensing the tension in the environment.

Ghost- " achacho ellarum en kulanthai kita varangalae, perumalae rendu peraium kapaathu paa."

Soon another two goons blocked Amrutha from two different direction. Amrutha looked between them and scared so much, She is unable to move further. Rishinandhan tried to shoot, but there is no bullet in his gun. Amrutha hugged the kid like burying it inside her safely. 

Ghost- " ma, en kulanthaiah keela vitutu odiru. en ambi paathupaan. nee poiru, ivanga kita kulanthiaoda neeum matiratha.. ivangala patha mosama theriuthu", ghost shouted at Amrutha.

Rishinandhan who is hearing this felt a different kind of emotion along with shock. he looked at the ghost which is crying looking at the baby and pleading at Amrutha. The goons with the weapon, wooden log, raised their hands towards Amrutha.

Ghost- "kutty ah keela vitutu poo ma, ivanga adicha nee thanga maata.. en ambi kita vanthutaan. thirumbi paaru.. nee poidu maa..", she shouted pleadingly.

Agasthiyan and Raghuvaran shouted and ran towards Amrutha, but they are far behind, only Rishi is somewhat nearer. With much more force Rishi ran and jumped towards Amrutha. The next moment, He hugged both Amrutha and the baby and hide them in him letting the goon to beat him instead of Amrutha and the baby. Everyone including Amrutha are shocked.

The goon shouted in pain instead of beating Rishi and fell on the other goon and so no one beat Rishinandhan. Amrutha tightly hugged Rishi in fear.

Ghost- " happada, appa correct time ku vanthutanga"

Rishinandhan tuned his head and looked around. He also patted Amrutha gently to comfort her unknowingly. Ramki came there twisting his mustache with anger burning eyes. Agasthiyan and Raghuvaran neared them. The baby is still crying. Raghuvaran touched Amrutha and she opened her eyes and looked around.

Ramki- " yaar pulla mela da kai vacha? vaa da ipo, mudincha avan mela kai vachu paaru?"

Ghost- " ambi kovichukatha daa, kulanthaiah konjam samathanam pannu pa. romba nerama alugaren, inum alutha mayakkam vanthidum.. please da ambi "

Rishinandhan took the baby from Amrutha. She just gave the baby staring at Ramki. Amrutha and Raghuvaran are looking at Ramki with shock and surprise.

The goons came with much anger. Ramki hold the goon hand and slapped him hardly which made the goon to fell down unconscious. Just one slap, he fell.

Ghost- " ambi, ingaa paaru nethila mutham kuduthu, ipadi kaluthu kita vachuko appo than avan bayapuda mataan. ipadi pudichuko, apadiae thadavi kudu.. lesa aatu paa", she is guiding him.

Rishi just followed everything without giving any reply while Amrutha and Raghuvaran looked at each other once and looked at Ramki with teared filled eyes. Amrutha leaned on Raghuvaran a little while Raghu wrap his hand around her. Agasthiyan tried to join Ramki in beating process. Rishinandhan didn't cared after that since Ramki is there.

Ramki- " nee poi vedika paaru pa. en pullaigala adika vanthirukanga. ivanungala naan pathukaren.", he continued.

Agasthiyan moved back, " paa, enna intha adi adikureenga.. usura eduthuratheenga", he chuckled with a little panting due to running.

The baby now reduced its cries and hugged Rishi tightly. Rishi can feel that the baby is relaxing in his warmth. The tiny hands of the baby clutched his shirt and the baby rubbed his face in his shoulder while adjusting itself. Rishi smiled and helped baby to calm himself. Now everyone looked at the fight.

The fight happened for just 5 mins, because no one can able to bear Ramki beating. Three auto's came there and hurriedly pulled all the wounded bodies and left.

Ramki ran to Rishi and asked, " nandhu, unaku engaium adi patruka? kulanthaia kudu pa, kai valika poguthu". He tried to get the baby, but the baby cried and tightly clutched Rishi.

Ghost- " avan appa meesaiah paathu bayapaduraan, konja neram vachirunthutu kudu da ambi"

Rishi- " Ramu, enaku onum illa. enna adikurathukulla nee vanthuta. so valika onum illa. kulanthai enkita irukatum, aluguran paaru". The baby weakly leaned on Rishi.

Ghost- " ambi en kulanthaiku paal vangi kudu daa. pasikuthu", she didn't pleaded or requested, she just told what to do.

Ramki- " yarukum ethuvum adi padalayae.. ellarum okay thane? kannu, unnaku onum illayae ma? inum bayama iruka?", he asked with very soft voice. His eyes is having full of kindness and love and the smile is spreading the warmth.

Amrutha- " illanga.. i am fine "

Rishinandhan once looked at the ghost and said, " kulanthai ku pasikuthunnu nianikuren. romba sornthu poi paduthirukaan", he said looking at the baby.

Ramki- " bayanthu aluthathala koopdi ipadi irukalam nandhu.. muthalla veetuku pogalam vanga, dress ellam aluka iruku, kilinchu iruku. office poganumna pa?", Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other.

Ghost- " aluthu aluthu thookam varuthu avanuku. paal kudikama thoonga vitratha. apuram mayakam vanthidum"

Rishi- " illa, veetuku polam. naan chief ta pesaraen. Raamu paal vangi thaa, enaku enamo ivan pasila irukaan nu thonuthu please, kuduthu pakalam"

Agasthiyan - " naan poi vangitu varen"

Ramki- " ithoda neenga unga veetuku porathu sari illapa. veetuku vaanga. ", Raghuvaran and Amrutha nodded their head. Agasthiyan came there with a glass of milk.

Rishi- " itha epadi da kudukurathu?", he asked commonly but the question is to ghost.

Ghost- " paal dabba la thaan kudukanum da ambi. vangariah?"

Amrutha- " en bag la milk bottle iruku konjam wait pannu", They all went to the spot, took their bags. 

Rishinandhan looked at the baby and said, " thoongatha da pattu kutty, konjama paal kudichutu apuram thoongalam.. inga paru inga paru.. enna paaru"

Ghost- " Avan kaluthula kaathula nu oothu.. siripaan. thookam konjam kalaiyum"

Rishi blowed air to the baby neck and ears. Baby chuckled and smiled. Agasthiyan cooled the milk while Raghuvaran washed the bottle. Ramki stood next to them.

Ghost- " unkita ottikitan da ambi.. ", she said with innocent smile.

Ramki- " nijama vali illaila pa"

Rishi- " illa raamu, aana pasikuthu". Raghuvaran came there and Agasthiyan filled the bottle with milk.

Ramki- " naan message potuten, samayal start paniduva.. romba pasicha ethavathu saptutu polama?", Agasthiyan gave the bottle. Amrutha got the baby from Rishi and started to bottle feed the baby.

Rishi- " vendam vendam, nee epadi Raamu inga vantha?"

Ramki- " fruits vangitu apadiae baby corn vanga vanthen. niro vangitu vara sonna".

Rishi- " enkita sonna naanga varum pothu vangitu vara matena Ramu? ethuku alayura?"

Ghost- ' paal kudichathum lesa muthugala thadavanum appo than paal irangum da ambi.. illaina vanthi eduthiduvaan". Rishi looked at the baby once and then the ghost.

Ramki- " ithula enna pa iruku, amam ivanga yaru? intha kulanthai ku enna prachanai"

Rishi nodded casually like answering ghost and said, " ivanga than amruthavarshini raamu, ammini nu solirukenae ganbagam iruka? "

Ramki- " oh, antha ponna.. romba santhosam. ivaru?"

Rishi- " ivaru, Raghuvaran. madurai-la oru lawyer impress panaru nu sonen la avaru.."

Ramki smile dropped the next second for a second. but again he smiled again and nodded at him. Ramki had a handshake with Raghuvaran. Raghuvaran smiled. Rishinandhan is thinking about how to get the baby from Amrutha.

Agasthiyan - "neenga rendu perum.. ", he asked with a frown. Rishinandhan winked at the baby and nodded like inviting him.

Amrutha- " en anna", The baby tried to move towards Rishi.

Ghost- " kulanthaia thookiko ambi varan paaru.. sariana aalu thaan vara vachutiae..", she chuckled with a smile.

Rishi- " naan konja neram vachiruken ammini.."

Amrutha neared him gave the baby and mumbled, " un appa irukarunnu pakuren illainu avlo thaan nee iniaku. ammini nu koopdatha da poruki".

Rishinandhan chuckled and patted the baby's back gently.

Ghost- 'light ha ipadi saachuko, thattatha ambi, thadavu.. itho ipadi". Rishinandhan just followed everything.

Ramki- " oh, romba santhosam ma.. vaanga polam". They all got in the Jeep and they traveled back home. Baby slept clutching Rishinandhan.

They all went to Ramki house. Nirosha at first panicked, looked at Ramki and then welcomed everyone with a smile. Raghuvaran and Amrutha had a little tears and wiped it without anyone witnessing it.

Nirosha- " vanga vanga vaanga " they all came in.

Nirosha- " enna da ithu, ponnoda vantha paravalla.. ipadi pullayoda vanthiruka?"

Rishi- " niru kutty, dialogue correct than but konjam kovama sollanum, enga thirupi sollu pakalam", he teased.

Nirosha- " poda.. enanga, enna nadanthathu? en ipadi sattai ellam kilinchu alukaki vanthiukaanga, ellarum?"

Ramki- " athe yaen kekura.. naan pakum pothu rendu erumaianga namma pullaya kattayala adika pathanga.. ivan, intha ponnaium kulanthaium kaapatha ninnukitu irunthaan"

Nirosha- " achacho adichutangala? nandhu, adi ethavathu patruka?". She neared Rishi with palpitation and examined him completely.

Ramki- "athu epadi? vitruvena pulla mela kaiah vaika.. vachaen paaru oru adi, mayangi vilunthutaan", he smirked telling casually.

Nirosha- " mayangitana? apdina inum avan uyiroda irukaana? ennanga neenga summava vitutu vanthuteenga?" She glared at him while Ramki blinked at her.

Agasthiyan - " enga hero summa vitruvara enna? oruthara ninnu motha kootathaium thuvachu eduthutaru athuvum 5 mins la.. adivanginavanala enthirikave mudiala.. "

Nirosha- " avara pathi nee solli thaan naan theirnjukanuma.."

Agasthiyan- " entha pakam ponalum gate pota epadi ma? naanga pavam la"

Nirosha- " ponga da, muthalla poi dress mathikonga. 5th standard paiyan mathiri dress ah alukakitu vanthutu perumaiah paaru.. Kulanthiaah kuduthutu kootitu poo Nandhu. Nee enkooda vaa ma..", Rishi gave the baby to Ramki.

Rishi- " ulla vanga Sir", He called Raghuvaran. Agasthiyan casually went and changed to Rishi's dress and left the room quickly.

Rishi- " enga daa ivlo vegama pora?"

Agasthiyan- " papaku dress vanga thaan da."

Rishi- " saravana la eduthutu vaa, pakathula thaan iruku". Agasthiyan nodded and left.

Rishi- " intha shirt potukareengala?"

Raghuvaran- " ithuve pothum Nandhu, Thanks"

Rishi- " thanks ellam vendam. inthanga towel refresh panikonga", Once they refreshed they came out.

Everyone assmebled in hall. Ramki is having the baby and Agasthiyan is helping Nirosha talking with her with the incident. It is evident that everything is shared with Nirosha and Ramki. Amrutha came there in minutes changing her dress with a smile.

Nirosha- " veetuku phone panni solanumna solidu maa"

Amrutha-" naan inga thaniah flat la iruken aunty."

Ramki- " thaniah vaa ma iruka?", he asked with a frown.

Amrutha- " arambathula friend sernthu flat la thanginom uncle. en friends ku vera job kidaichu poitanga. ippo kulanthai um irukuratha anna kooda irukaan"

Raghuvaran- " vera yaravathu join panra varaikum naan irupen uncle."

Agasthiyan- " intha kulanthaia kolra alavuku enna iruka poguthu? confusion ah iruku"

Rishinandhan- " kulanthai- um target ah irukalam, kulanthaiah vachu ivangalum target ah irukalam"

Amrutha- " naangala?"

Rishi- " hmm, intha kulanthai ku nee than responsible ammini. suppose ethavathu aana, unna thaan arrest pannuvanga."

Raghuvaran- " apdina ennala vaa ithu ellam?"

Rishi- " ithu just guess than sir. antha politician ah avlo lesa ninaika mudiathu, athe neram yarunae theriatha intha kulanthaiaium lesa ninaika mudiathu"

Nirosha- " Raghu thappa eduthukalaina ingayae thangidareengala?". Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other with shining eyes.

Ramki- " illaina unga veetla Nandhu-vum, Agas um thangattum. Vayasu ponaium pacha kulanthiaum vachukitu risk eduka koodathu pa".

Raghuvaran looked at Rishinandhan once and then said, " ungaluku onum siramam illaina okay mama.. haan, mama nu koopdalamla.. enaku uncle, aunty la avlo interest illa"

Ramki- " tharalama kooptuko pa. nandhu nee argue panatha sonaan. naan unna photolayachum pakanumnu nianichukitu irunthaen"

Nirosha- " inum konjam vachuko pa, athaan mama nu kooptutiae, inum enna thayakam", she served with a smile.

Raghuvaran- " pothum atha.. naan neriah saptuten"

Amrutha- " Hmmm, ipadi special ah gavanipeenganu therinjuruntha naanum first ae koptrupen", she teased.

Ramki served her and said, " nee enna kooptalum naan special ah gavanipen da. sapdu", he said with fatherly love.

Rishinandhan looked at the baby and the ghost with much thoughts. The ghost is trying to touch the baby but it can't as usual. She just sat near to it and wiped her tears.

Rishi went to his room and mumbled, " maami..", The ghost came inside.

Rishinandhan- " un peru enna mami?"

Ghost- " en peru sulochana da ambi"
