Vikram lazily opened his eyes.

Vik: 😪🙄😳🤯

It wasn't a cloud.

Sailaja stirring in her sleep.

Vik: Hey hey shhshh. 🤫

They were all having a good time around the dining table eating their lunch.

Zurich and Sam entered Sailaja's room. They noticed Sailaja was sitting on the bed, facing the other direction.

Sam: Hey elikunji, ellarum keele irukkanga nee inge enna panre? 🙄

There were no reactions.

Zur: Thalaivi neenga seekram saaptutu kelambanum. 🙄

There was no response.

Sam approached Sailaja and laid his hand on her shoulder.

Sam: Elikunji, azhariya? 🙄

Sailaja hugged him firmly and broke into tears.

Zur: Thalaivi. 😟

Sai: Sameyy, na....mba new year anniki piriyave maatomnu sonnome ippo paathiya kadavul enkittendhu unga renduperayum pirichittaru. 😭

Sam & Zur: 😏

Mar: Adhellam naan manage pannikkuven. Nee nalla vazhndhale enakku podhum. Seri vaa keele pogalam. 😊

(After some moment)

That moment eventually arrived. Everyone gathered at the orphanage's entryway to say goodbye to the VAKS family and Sailaja. The children were crying more, and Sailaja was comforting them all.

Sai: Pasangala, ellam nalla padikkanum seriya? 🥲

All: 😢

🧒: Akka pogadhunge. 😢

Sailaja wiped away her tears and embraced him tightly.

Sai: Akka annadikkum video call panni pesuven. Ange pononaye naan ellathukkum neraya gift anuppuren. 🥲

All: 😢

Sai: Sister paarthukonga. 🥲

Mar: Good bless you, my child. 😊

Sailaja hugged both Sam and Zurich.

Sai: Enakku nalla memories kuduthadhukku romba thanks. 🥲

Sam: Thanks solra moonja paaru. 😝

Sam & Zur: 😊

Ale: Appa ippo kalambana seriya irukkum. 🙂

Kai: Serippa. 🙂

After saying goodbye to everyone, the VAKS family stepped into their cars. Sailaja lowered the car window and looked back at the people gathered at the orphanage door, waving at her.

Sai: 😢👋

All: 😢👋

The car gradually drove away from the orphanage, eventually disappearing from view. Sailaja burst into tears, which she had been holding back for so long.

Sai: 😭

Vik: 😟

Vikram's heart felt heavy because he didn't know how to comfort Sailaja. He sighed and put his palm on her shoulder.

Sai: 😢

Vik: 🙂

Sailaja hugged Vikram's arm and sobbed quiet tears. Vikram did not stop her; he simply allowed her to sob so that she may feel calmer later on.

(Karunai Illam)

Mar: Pasangala, adhan poyitangalle. Ellarum room-kku ponga. Na....an files-lam paarkanum. 😐🚶‍♀️

Sam: Naan oru ma....il panna marandhutten, adhe poyi panren. 😐🚶‍♂️

Zur: Naan en ro...om-eh clean pannanum. 😐🚶‍♂️

Mariam, Sam, and Zurich hurriedly entered their own rooms and shut the doors. The silence was overwhelming for a minute.

Mar, Sam & Zur: 🙁

They finally erupted into sobs, which they had been holding back for so long.

Mar, Sam & Zur: 😭

****

Bye-bye! 😁
