Mugilanna was seated on the rock by the flowing stream, carefully penning something.

Mug: Ivlo naal verbal report kuduthukutu irundhen, inimel written report-dhan kudukkanum poaAAAHHH!!! 😱

They soon began to go as a group into the dense woodland. The stunning scenery and pleasant weather captivated them all. They saw a variety of wildlife, including snakes, deers, monkeys, and wild boars. While Bharathan was quickly sketching in his sketchbook, Vinodh was able to get every detail on camera.

Bha: Anne. 😄

Vin: Ennada? 😄

Bha: Apromel neenga pudicha photos-eh kaatunga naan edhellam innum sketch pannalayo paarthu pannikiren. 😁

🧔: Thambi naama vandhuttom. 😁

All: 🙄😲

They were treated to a stunning view of the remote, little indigenous village.

Vin: Magnificent. 😲📷

🧔: Thambingala vaangadey pogalam. 😄

They soon arrived at the village and began to stroll through it. The villagers were busy going about their daily business as well as were very energetic with bright smiles, yet they still made time to extend a cordial welcome to the newcomers. They observed that the rural people lived close to the forest on several plantations and paddy fields. The village was surrounded by mist, which created a lovely, serene atmosphere.

🧔: Ellarum paarungadey namma vaathiyaar amma veetlendhu vandhurukanga! 😄

👬👫👭: 😄🙏

The people were overjoyed to welcome the family of their beloved teacher.

Hay: Ennada un pondattikku inge bayangara selvaakku pola. 😄

Vik: Aamada. 😄

Hay: Nee enna pannenu therinja un thole urichi neruppule vaatiruvaanga pola. 😄

Vik: 😳

🧔: Thambi vaathiyaar amma kudisai adho adhudhen, andha periya kudisaikku pakkathule irukke adhu. Andha periya kudisai namma oor thalaivaroda. 😄

Vik: Oh. 😐

Vikram is now filled with panic since he has no idea how he would confront Sailaja.

🧔: Namma modha oor thalaivare poyi paarthadalam thambi pinne poyi vaathiyaar ammave paarkalam. 😄

Vik: Ahn se....

Ale: Namma poyi oor thalaivare paarkalam aiya ivan poyi avan pondattiye paarkattum. 😁

Vik: Yenda? 🤪

Dhu: Po poyi adi vaanga po. 😒

Vik: 😳

Bha: Anne, all the best. 😁

Vik: Ivan vere. 🤦‍♂️

Vikram gulped as he approached the wooden house. He dropped his luggage and walked carefully inside. The house was basic and clean, and there was no one present.

Vik: Veetle ille pola. 😮‍💨

He was just about to turn to leave when he heard a gasp and the breaking of a mud pot.

Vik: 🙄😳

Sai: 😳

The time halted just like that. Vikram saw her after a very long period. She was not the same as he remembered her from their time together. She was dressed in tribal style, displaying her endless natural beauty, and her hair was free-flowing with flowers adorning it. There was a broken pot on the ground that could have dropped from her grasp.

Sai: 😳

The Vikram she saw was very different from the Vikram who had chased her away. He has several bruises on his face and scalp, and his bald cropped hairstyle gives him a unique look. However, there was another difference. He appeared exhausted and dejected, and there was no usual serious expression on his face.

Vik: Sai....luma. 😳

Sai: 😳

Vikram made a step forward, causing Sailaja to take a step back.

Vik: Epdi iru....

Sai: Yen vandhinge? 😳

That word slid quickly from her tongue. Vikram was upset by the words, but he knew he had to face them.

Vik: Enakku puri....yudhu naan unne rom....ba mosama hurt panni veratt....ite....

Sai: Adhan neen....ga keta madhiri ungale vittu dhoo....rama vandhuttenle pinne yen enne thedi vandhi....nge? 😳

Vikram gave a painful smile.

Vik: Nee illadha ithana naal naan nara....gathule irundha madhiri vazhn....dhen. Nee irukku....rappa un arumai enakku puriyale Sailuma. Adhan unne thedi van....dhuten. 😟

Sai: Oh, enna ungappa Mr Kailayanathan naan illena CEO posting kudukka maatennu sollitara? Adhen enne thedi vandhutingalo? 🤨

Vik: Ma il....

Sai: Podhum niruthunge! Ungakooda irundhappa enne neenga oru manushiya kooda madhichadhille ippo mattum enne madhichi inge vandhadha enne namba solringala!? Enne paartha epdi theriyudhu!? Ellam en thappudhan, neenga enna intention-oda kalyanam pannikka othukutingenu munnadiye therinjikame vittadhu en thappudhan! 😤

She was furious, yet tears were falling nonstop.

Sai: Idhe paarunga sir naan inge nimmadhiya irukken, neenga poyi unga thagudhikku ethamadhiri ponne paarthu kalyanam panni sandhoshama vaazhunga. 😒

Vik: Naan unakkaga mattumdhan vandhen, enakku CEO posting pathi kavalai ille. I truly love you! Nee illame naan ingendhu pogamaten Sailuma! Apdi pona en uyir mattumdhan pogum. 🤨

Sai: Appo ponga. 😒

Vik: Nambamatele? 🤨

Vikram began to move quickly away from the house.

Ale: Dey engeda pore? 😄

Vik: 🤨🏃‍♂️

Vikram finally made it to a neighbouring cliff.

Ale: Dey machan. 🙄
