After wiping her eyes, Sailaja inhaled deeply.

Sai: Naan poyi avare paarthuttu varatta? 😞

(VIP wing)

Ale: Ulle po Thangam. Endhirikka sollu ivanungale, po. 🙁

Sai: Hmm. 😔

Sailaja walked inside the dimly lit room where the ventilators were the only source of sound. Three beds had support systems connected to them. After wiping her tears, Sailaja moved closer to the beds.

Sai: 😢

She observed the ventilator-attached, pallid, and comatose VAKS Brothers. Sailaja approached Papu and gave him a hair raking.

Sai: Papukutty, inime nee pesamatiya? Vaa namma renduperum serndhu prank panlam. Unakku pudhu recipes ellam naan sollitharen. Unakku onnu theriyuma? Un exhibition-kku naan en kaasule oru ticket vaangirukken, poyi paarkalamnu. Seekram vaa namma poyi gardening pannanum, tomato ellam paluthurukkum. 😔

She strolled over to Chinna.

By the time Sailaja got to the last bed, she was shedding tears.

Sailaja wiped away her tears.

Vik: 💀

Sai: Che! Kalnenjakaaranunga, ivlo polamburene evanachum endhirichi ennanu ketkuringala? Idhule edhachum sollita rosham mattum vandhudum. 😏

Sailaja stood and moved closer to the door.

Vik, Dhu & Bha: 💀

Sailaja left the room.

Sailaja and Alex quickly made their way inside the conference room, where the other men were waiting tensely.

All: 🙄

Sai: CEO aaga enge signature vekkinum?
