The corridor was completely silent as everyone anxiously awaited the details of Miruthulan plans.

Man: 😞

Mug: Hey. 🙂

Man: 🙄

Mugilanna, holding a paper bag, sat next to Manju.

Mug: Indha scones saapdu. 🙂

Man: Mmhmm vendam. 😞

Manju's robotic responses caused Mugilanna to sigh.

(The term "honour walk" refers to a special tribute given to an organ donor. It is a ceremonial walk that takes place when a patient is being wheeled to the operating room for organ donation. It allows hospital staff to show respect and gratitude for the selfless act of organ donation.) Oru veteran-kku idhu evlo periya perumaiyana vishayam. 🙂

Mug: 😳

They both realised Hayagrivan was approaching them down the hallway.

Man: Nurseyy. 😥

Manju began to speak quickly so she could get her thoughts out before Hayagrivan arrived.

Man: Nurseyy, unnale mattumdhan ippo Miruvoda uyire kapatha mudiyum. Please, you have to do this. 🙏😥

Mug: E....enna pannanum? 😬

Man: It's easy, just oru cold ca....

The door of the room in front of them unexpectedly swung open.

Man & Mug: 😳

Lut: 🤨

Mug: Sethom. 😳

Lut: Manju nee innum pogalaiya? 🤨

Man: Ad.... 😳

Hay: Dr. Luth.

Lut: Vaanga, Mr. Hayagrivan, unga wife-eh kootitu pogame enna panringe? Let her take some rest.

Hay: Dho ippodhan Vikram kitteyum Alex kitteyum sollitu varen. Manjuma vaa pogalam, Alex unakku 1 week off kuduthurukan namma naalaike Massachusetts-kku kelambirom. 🙂

Man: Il.... 😳

Manju's hand was taken by Hayagrivan as he headed down the hall. Manju kept turning to face Mugilanna in the hopes that she would at least be able to speak with him.

Man: 😥

Mug: 😟

Lut: 🤨

At the turn in the corridor, Mugilanna could only catch the glance of Manju disappearing.

Mug: 😮‍💨

Man: Mugilanna!

The loud call caused everyone in the hallway to turn.

Mug: 😳

Lut: 🙄

Man: Ice Water Kudu! Ice Water! 😥

Hay: Manju enna panre? Ipdilam kathakoodadhu vaa pogalam. 🤪

Finally, Manju was dragged away by Hayagrivan.

Mug: 😳🙄

Lut: 🤨

Mug: 🙄😅 Scones saapduringala?

Lut: 🤨🚶‍♂️

Mug: 🙄😮‍💨🤔 Ice water-ah? Edhukku Miruvukku ice water kudukkanum? Dey Nurseyy seekram yosida. 🤪😳🤯 YEAH!

All: 😳

Mug: So....sorry, sorry. 😅

Mugilanna noticed the water faucet at the end of the hallway.

Mug: Manju unakku moolaiyo moolai. 😁

A cup of cold water was obtained by Mugilanna from the water dispenser.

Mug: Yaarukitte help ketkuradhu? Indha neram paarthu nambura madhiri oru moonji kooda illaiye inge. 🤔

He saw Dhuruvan approaching him.

Dhu: Anne vaanga namma veetuku povom.

Mug: Dhuruva oru help. 😬

Dhu: Ennadhu thanni venuma? Cup kudunge eduthutu varen. 🙂

Mug: Aiyo adhu ille. Enakku oru promise panriya? 😬

Mug: Adhellam ille nee vaa. 😬

Mugilanna took hold of Dhuruvan's hand and moved in the direction of Miruthulan's room.

Dhu: Inge yen varom? 🙄

Mug: 🤫 Quiet.

To ensure that nobody was looking at them, Mugilanna took a glance around him.

Mug: Vaa.

They both hurried into the room. They spotted Miruthulan on the bed, unresponsive, and swathed in bandages and injuries. He was provided ventilator support throughout an intubation.

Mug: Come faster.

Dhu: Namma enna pannaporom? 🙄

Mug: Follow my instructions and don't ask any cross questions naane aprom unakku explain panren. Okay? 😬

Dhu: Okay. 🙄

Lut: Dr. Alex, consent form-le next in kin-ah naan sign panniten, neenga sign vechita ippove procedure start pannidalam.

Vinodh, A², and Vikram were also present to ensure a smooth process.

Ale: Kudunge form-eh.

Alex was going to sign the document.

Mug: Niruthunga!!! 😰

Mugilanna rammed the door open.

All: 😳

Mug: Sign Pannadhinge! 😰

Mug: Miruthulan Isn't Brain Dead! 😰

All: 😳
