When Ram became cognizant again, he questioned, "Who are you?"
"You are who?you're correct about me" , Gowthami questioned in a perplexed manner.
"It wasn't my intention to inquire about where you learned how to conflict with wolves, how to accomplish it, or who taught you those skills."
Gowthami was likewise unfit to recall the details of the events of her past, nor could she pinpoint the places where she had learned all of them. Whenever she made an effort to ponder back on her previous, her head hurt a great deal. Rajeev explained to her not to fatigue her brain when attempting to recall, and he additionally stated that past experiences would not affect the way their future turned out, so she neglected to think about her past experiences and instead focused only on today.
In response to Ram's questioning, Gowthami expressed sadness by saying, "I fail to recall Ram."
When Gowthami tried to remember her past, Rajeev recalled that she would get headaches. He sternly warned her not to put undue strain on her head, and when Ram questioned her about it, he was concerned about her health due to the fact that they were in a dense forest and might not have provided the right care if Gowthami had health issues.
Rajeev cut him off right away, yelling, "Ram, perhaps we ought to talk regarding this a bit later. We have to figure out how to be cautious for tonight."
"However, Rajeev, are you not amazed by the way she battled those wolves and are you not curious to find out who taught her these fighting techniques?"
"I've previously spotted her battle a snake, and I'm amazed by her bravery. For now, however, I don't give a damn about her background."
Ram responded, "Yes, Gowthami is a gallant girl; I haven't encountered a girl like her in my entire existence," as he turned to face her.
Rajeev confidently said, "Yes, Gowthami is one of the most unique in this dimension, and I feel privileged to have such a girl in my vitality," upon seeing her.
Although Gowthami was a little shy, she was overjoyed when Rajeev gave her a complement. She made a laborious effort to recollect her previous lists in order to verbally abuse the teacher who had taught her such talents. When Rajeev noticed that Gowthami was considering something, he became a little concerned.
When Gowthami tried to recall her past, a familiar tension flickered across Rajeev's face. He knew all too well what came next—the headaches that would grip her whenever she pushed herself to remember. Seeing the distant look in her eyes, Rajeev quickly stepped in, his tone firm yet caring. "Gowthami, don't strain yourself. You know what happens when you try too hard," he warned, his voice carrying a note of concern that made her pause.
Ram, noticing the exchange, glanced at Gowthami with worry etched on his face. They were deep in the forest, far from any real medical help, and the thought of Gowthami suffering from health issues in such a remote place made him uneasy. "What's going on with her?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.
Rajeev sighed, understanding Ram's anxiety. "She gets these headaches," he explained, his eyes not leaving Gowthami. "Especially when she tries to remember too much, too quickly. We need to be careful. Out here, we can't afford to have her unwell. There's no telling what we might encounter, and we need to stay sharp."
Ram nodded, his expression serious. He knew Rajeev was right; the forest was no place for medical emergencies. The three of them needed to stay strong and focused if they were going to make it through this journey safely. Gowthami, sensing the weight of their concern, reluctantly let the memories slip away, focusing instead on the present, where their survival depended on their collective strength.
However, just as Rajeev and Ram were ready to speak, they heard some nearby noises.
Gowthami responded, "Hey, have you caught those sounds?" as soon as she entered combat status.
Without further ado, Ram pulled out his handgun and said, "Yes, I did. We ought to be vigilant."
A few of wolves were approaching the cave, Rajeev spotted.
Rajeev replied, "I presume the pack of wolves spotted the way where we are residing."
Gowthami added, "I've learned that wolves have a sense of smell that is about 100 times greater than humans and that they use this keen sense while hunting," as she watched the wolf approach the cave. The majority of wild wolves are even more adept at identifying scents than domestic dogs. The area of a wolf's nose that is sensitive to scent is over 14 times larger than that of a human nose.
Ram questioned, "What ought we adhere to now, sister-in-law?"
With a scourge look on her visage, Gowthami remarked, "I reckon I ought to teach them a genuine tuition now to ensure they are unlikely to try to monitor our whereabouts again."
Ram could see it plainly on his face that he was excited to witness what she did to the wolf.
Before Gowthami could respond, something unexpected happened. The wolves, who had been advancing cautiously, suddenly began to back off, their eyes wide with fear. They whimpered and retreated, leaving the cave in haste.
To his dismay, Rajeev saw the wolf darting back at them out of nowhere.
Rajeev, Gowthami, and Ram exchanged confused glances. "Why are they backing off?" Rajeev asked, trying to understand the sudden change in the wolves' behavior.
"It looks like they've seen something bigger, something more dangerous," Rajeev speculated, his excitement giving way to apprehension.
Ram was shocked and truly dismayed since he had been looking forward to seeing the Gowthami activity. "Indeed, why are they retreating?"
Gowthami saw the wolf sprinting, recalled Rajeev's phrases and looked about.
Gowthami, sensing danger, remarked, "Rajeev and Ram, stay close, we're in chaos," in a frightened tone.
Just then, a low, menacing roar echoed through the cave, sending a shiver down their spines. The sound was unmistakable. It was the roar of a tiger.
