29.

Aathiyan opened his eyes from the small nap he had taken after the long day of travel. He had a dream, more like a visual where he's with Kayanangai, she's holding his hand and smiling at him. In her presence, he felt peaceful and when she suddenly disappeared from his sight, he became agitated and there his sleep was disturbed. 

He's still in disbelief that Kayanangai lied to him. He saw her talking to Veera, then she needed to say she was alone in the garden. 

Maybe it's because of you, his mind hinted. 

That's true, he always warned her to never go near him so she must have felt afraid to say the truth. He's failing somewhere, she's going away from him, and if he doesn't stop that happening he's afraid to lose her love.

Aathiyan's eyes were everywhere and he had his dagger close in case an animal intruded on their path."How are we going to find the man who lives in this jungle? Look it's too huge, Aathiya, you should reconsider this," Narenthiran is on the verge of giving up. He's so frustrated with hours of walking and still has no clue regarding that man.

For the last few days, she kept thinking a lot about him and starts to miss him so badly because of an incident that happened yesterday.She kept doing this and she didn't feel bored at all because while waiting, she can only think about him, and dwelling in his thoughts is kind of bliss.Even Though she's upset with him, she also sees the situation he is in.

    Aathiyan walked to the courthouse recalling the smile on Veera's face and the disgust on Kayanangai's face. He frowned and wanted to punch Veera as hard as he could."Aathiya," his mother's voice stopped him.She came near him and after taking a look around she asked, "Is there anything you are not telling me?" she asks."I told you everything, mother. But you are hiding so many things from me," "What did I hide from you?""I don't want to talk about this now," he said because there are a lot more important issues than this. And if he digs this, he's afraid to face the truth about his family."I hope your journey was sa

    Aathiyan watched Nilakaran praying and he waited until he finished. He's here to discuss when and how he's going to perform the ritual to bring his father back to normal. He still has no faith in this ritual but this is the last option he got and he wants this to happen perfectly."Thanks for waiting," Nilakaran said."That's okay. I am here to ask when are you going to perform the ritual?" Aathiyan asks. "Very soon," Nilakaran smiles, after bathing and trimming down his hair he looked different and young."Have you found out who cursed your father?" he asks."Is that really necessary now?" Aathiyan questions.

    33.While performing the ritual Nilakaran didn't allow anyone to see the room except Aathiyan and Narenthiran.He took blood, nails, and a few strands of hair from Aathiyan's father and dropped it in the copper bowl filled with goat's blood. He started chanting spells sitting inside the circle drawn out of oil lamps.As his voice intensified, the blood started to burn and black smoke evaded from it. The smell that came from it was unbearable to sniff,Aathiyan and Narenthiran are standing outside the room, watching it through the window.He never saw something like that before. Aathiyan thought these were just a magic trick until he saw that same dark smoke came out of his father's mouth; That instance

    35. Nilakaran gathered all the details that he heard from the people who had last seen and interacted with Ganthika. The more he listened to them, the more he became fascinated by her predictions which came true most of the time. And she hasn't talked much about herself or even uttered her name to anyone other than Kayanangai and that made him even more curious. The witch is so good at hiding and it took him five days to track her. According to an old man's account who's living nearby the forest -he saw Ganthika heading towards the sacred forest, where the locals fear to step inside. Nilakaran knows these places are the best for witches and dark entities. Now standing before the forest, Nilakaran saw gigantic trees in front of him.

The aura of the forest is magnificent.He came across a path leading into a cave. Before he could enter, a half-naked woman came out with a seductive smile. When he looked closer at her face, he was stunned. She looked like his dead wife.After many years he felt like he's trapped and there's no way to escape. His hands shook, his skin trembled in terror and his eyes widened in fear when that woman came closer to him."You know I was searching for you? You waited for me and who are you?" he asks, flinching his hands when she touches his shoulders.

She always hangs in the middle and never believes he's totally bad or good. Now she has a perfect picture of him.

It's been a week since Veera went to prison and the family is trying to cope up with the sudden changes in the family. Now Sumitra wanted to leave, she couldn't take people's strange gazes and murmurs behind her back.

    39(2)"So Veera Pandya asked you to cast a deadly curse on my father? Is that right?" Aathiyan asked Ganthika, in front of the court. "Yes," she nodded. "He asked me to do that. He threatened me when I hesitated," Ganthika answered in her shaky voice. Like she's a victim too."I gave him a vial full of poison and he gave it to his father," she added."No, that's a lie. I never gave him anything to my father. Ask everyone," Veera Pandya begged.But nothing was heard in anyone's ears. Everyone was convinced of Ganthika's testimony. Even Aathiyan thought that's the truth but later he understood they were equally guilty."Now the

Kayanangai asks when the moment he woke up from his sleep. He has heard this from one of her maids. "That happened last night," Aathiyan answered, leaving out a yawn."Why didn't you tell me anything?" she asks. "Because you were asleep when I came back so I thought I should tell you today," Aathiyan said. Kayanangai can't help but frown hearing his lethargic reply.
