The blood on RamaKrishna's face drained. He was speechless and looking at Senthilnathan.
Senthilnathan continued, "That's why I came to ask you if you saw anything different there."
RamaKrishna slowly controlled himself. “The person must have a problem in his vision. He recognized me for someone”
Senthilnathan underlined the man's initial shock in his mind and stared at him without saying anything.
RamaKrishna said in a friendly tone. “Thirty years ago I would go to the second show two days a week. Such a cinematic madness. But now I am going to sleep at 9:30 in the night these days. My age is catching up. That's why I do not go anywhere at night. ”
Senthilnathan did not care for his memories. He murmured loudly, pretending to be deep in thought.
"But the guy did say for sure that you came to car and sat in the seat next to the driver"
RamaKrishna's face looked horrified. "Who said that?" He asked angrily.
Senthilnathan looked at him for a few seconds without answering the question and got up.
“All right sir. Bye."
RamaKrishna tried to calm down as much as possible. Senthilnathan had left.

RamaKrishna did not even have a moment to stay home when Senthilnathan left. Caught by various emotions he got in the car and told the driver to go home to his son-in-law at top speed. RamaKrishna jumped out of the car and entered ParthaSarathy's house and narrated the Senthilnathan’s enquiry.
After listening very carefully, ParthaSarathy said in a bored voice, “Why did you go to that mountain with the hired killer. That’s why we are going through so much trouble? ”
RamaKrishna still did not accept it told his nephew, "If I didn’t go with him, it might have caused a lot of confusion. Think about it. I went to the foothills and did not go up the hill, so we do not know what happened above. I think he would not have even gone to the foothills and we would not have had evidence that he was even going up there. We would have remembered that he had died by the snake bite before he went up there. Yes or no? Senthilnathan said that someone had seen me in the place where he had gone. Since the road to the mountain was blocked at the beginning, no one was likely to come across it and saw me. Someone might have seen me after I came back and crossed the barrier. But it would have come to my attention if anyone saw me up close. I am so much confused about what might have happened ”
ParthaSarathy thought for a moment realizing the truth of what he had said. "Someone may have seen you from a distance when you came back like that. That, too, may be only your hair. I think Senthilnathan visited in a hunch and spoke to you. ”
Akash said, "Might be. Grandpa's hair shines even in the dark. ”
RamaKrishna thought as he nodded his head. They both seemed to be right.
"Then he came by guessing and gave me such a shocker? It is not good for us to let him freely do his dut. He should be knocked off "
ParthaSarath said, "He is appointed by the CM for this case. Don’t forget. We should be careful. If he sensed our involvement, it will be hell for us. He will be watching our every movement ”
The idea that he could be constantly monitored by Senthilnathan came to bitter sweet to RamaKrishna. He sighed and said "Karthi has caused all these troubles. I wonder where is he now. "

Sadashiva Namboodiri’s research extended to midnight in the next day also. Lots of papers and some old prophecies lay around him. Sankara Namboodiri came upstairs from time to time and peeked at his father did not understand what was in the two horoscopes to research for two days. He could not see a horoscope for more than half an hour. The man had left forty thousand knowing that his father could see this deeply
Sathasiva Namboodiri did not notice that his son came and peeked in from time to time. In his mind the two horoscopes were now life-shaped. He knew both of them as if they were very close to him. Very good people, geniuses, who are currently in danger, they are still alive but will be on the brink of death for a few more days, may even go over the edge.
Suddenly he felt as if someone was watching him. Strong feeling. Someone outside is watching him. He looked at the clock. 12.46 am. He got up and stood on the terrace. The ever-burning street lamp was not lit today. So dark outside. Someone is watching him from that darkness. Now it is natural to be able to see someone directly in the dark. But he had a strong feeling inside the house.
The mysterious man in the darkness was trying to read his thought waves. Sathasiva Namboodri instinctively turned off the light inside and came back and stood in the dark on the verandah. If he also stands in the dark, no one standing in the dark outside can see him. Maybe it was his intention that if he could see he could see him too.
But it was misleading. The domination of the mystery man over the darkness was immense. In the dark his vision was very precise. He loves the dark. Who had been in the dark for a long time. One who likes to be in the dark, turning off the light, thinking it is a hindrance, even when he is still alone. Having been accustomed to being in the dark for so long, his natural powers sharpened his eyes so that he could see in the dark just as he could see in the light. Yet the thought of being seen remained so strong that immediately his lips uttered some spells and he smiled.
Old man thinks to protect himself by mantras. Mantras are a great shield that can protect one when uttered by sacred souls. Old man is the sacred soul. So he could not occupy his mind as he occupied the New Delhi official in the Church. But by his immense power he was able to enter and read his latest thoughts without causing him any harm. He was also able to find out what he had predicted so far about the two horoscopes. He has not reached the conclusion yet. He had some more calculations to be done.
Sathasiva Namboodiri could not stand in that darkness for long. He came inside. No doubt someone outside is watching. An outsider is unlikely to be a thief as the town knows that there are no expensive items to steal from this house. Then who? Must be someone involved with these horoscopes. When he realized that, his body chilled for a moment.

At the same time Karthi, who was enchanted in one of the frontier forests of the Amazon jungle, woke up slowly. It was dark all around. So far he was occasionally half-unconscious and awake. Even then he felt the same gloom. He wondered if he was dead and awake in another world. Seeing this darkness made it seem like hell. Recall that scholars have said that heaven is bright. He did not remember that he had done any harm except to Harini that he had made up his mind to go to hell. The pain, the shock, the amazement, the sadness she knew on her face were all remembered by him in detail. That day he experienced hell. He experienced the hell over and over again in the days that followed. It still hurts when he remembered. If he can see the world from here, if he can see any signs that Harini is recovering from that pain and becoming old Harini, he will be happy even in this hell.
“Hey. Do not just write any story. This is not hell. Amazon jungle”
Karthi was shocked.
