Gowthami was taken aback by Rajeev and Ram's frantic exclamations. She turned to them, her face a mix of shock and confusion. "Is he your father?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, disbelief coloring her words.
"Yes, he is," Rajeev responded, his voice trembling with urgency. "I thought he was dead, but he's alive! I have to go back to him. Gowthami, please, help me maneuver this boat backward!" His eyes darted around the submarine's control panel, desperately searching for a lever, a button—anything that could reverse their course. But to his dismay, there was nothing. The sleek, modern vessel seemed devoid of any obvious controls that would allow them to turn back.
Ram, equally frantic, echoed Rajeev's desperation. "Sister-in-law, please! Tell us how to stop it!" His voice was tinged with panic as he, too, began searching for a way to halt the submarine's progress. The urgency in his voice was unmistakable; his mind raced with thoughts of Rudra, the man who had been more than just a father figure, the man who had just risked everything to ensure their safety.
Ram's heart ached with guilt and fear. How could they leave Rudra behind, especially after he had shown such care and love? Rudra had always treated him like his own son, and the thought of abandoning him in this dire situation was unbearable.
Gowthami, sensing their desperation, tried to recall if there was any way to stop the submarine. She closed her eyes, forcing herself to think, but her mind was a blur. Panic began to take hold as she struggled to remember, to find a solution, but the effort was too much. Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced her head, like a knife twisting through her thoughts. She gasped, clutching her temples as the pain intensified.
Rajeev noticed her distress immediately. "Gowthami!" he shouted, rushing to her side as she swayed unsteadily. The pain overwhelmed her, and she collapsed, her body going limp in his arms. Rajeev caught her just in time, lowering her gently to the floor of the submarine. His heart pounded with fear—not just for his father, but now for Gowthami as well.
Ram stopped his frantic search, his attention snapping back to the scene unfolding before him. "What's happening to her?" he asked, his voice shaking as he knelt beside Rajeev and Gowthami. The tight confines of the submarine felt even smaller, the walls closing in as the weight of their predicament pressed down on them.
Rajeev looked down at Gowthami's pale face, her eyes closed, her breathing shallow. He could feel her pulse, but it was weak. The realization hit him hard—she had been trying to help them, to remember something crucial, and it had taken too much out of her.
Ram immediately said, "Rajeev, please rouse her up. We're supposed to travel back. Our dad is in danger. We ought to help him."
With helplessness, Rajeev's eyes welled up with tears." At this point, Ram, I'm powerless since I don't have any medication with me to rouse her up."
In actuality, Rajeev neglected to pack his backpack. He does, in fact, have some emergency medication on him. He was unhappy and felt so guilty.
"Please, Dad, let me get back to you". Rajeev shed several tears.
Seeing his buddy Ram made him really upset, so he rushed straight to Rajeev and gave him a warm embrace." Rest assured that we'll locate him and deliver him back."
Abruptly, the boat's frontal glass became dark and made a noise.
When Rajeev and Ram peered at the leading edge glass right away, they were perplexed.
Ram looked at the glass in confusion and exclaimed, "What transpired to this glassware? Why did it turn to black like an LCD screen?"
Suddenly, the image of Rudra appeared on the screen.
Rajeev and Ram were astounded by the technology.
With joy, they exclaimed, "Dad." Tears welled up in their eyes.
"My guys, don't weep. I assure you that I will be safe and that I will come back to you."
Rajeev's voice rose in annoyance, "Where have you been throughout this time? Have you neglected the thoughts of your kid for at least once throughout these years?"
"I apologize Rajeev, but I have to flee this area at this moment, so I are unable to disclose you everything."
Ram looked at him and wept, "What transpired, dad? Please allow me to assist you."
"Don't weep, my furious bird; believe me, I'll be secure. Also, please keep my presence a secret from anybody around."
Rajeev said right away, "But why, what are you hiding from us, and what is the relationship with Gowthami?"
"I have said that I am not able to discuss anything at this time; if Gowthami were to regain her memory, you all would be aware of my existence and the reasons for my hijinks."
Abruptly, they detected a noise in the vicinity of Rudra and also perceived the roar of Vyaaghra.
Rajeev inquired in a hurried manner, "Dad, what's going on around you? What are all of those voices?" His voice was full of anxiety and panic.
"There's not much time left. Rajeev, please don't tell anybody about what happened in the jungle if you want to see your father well and come back to you. Do you hear me when I say that you should never discuss this community with anyone?"
He replied, "Don't even leave her hand," looking at the incapacitated Gowthami and said, "She is my precious one, no one are match to her in this world. Remind yourself that you will put her in danger if you provide anything about this place. It is your duty to ensure her safety. One thing to keep in mind is that you will not be able to locate me until I am ready to return to you all. You can't get me, so don't spend your time trying to locate me.To my son, happy married life."
The screen abruptly went black, but the front glass quickly returned to normal.
Ram and Rajeev were in disbelief; they had no idea what had transpired in a split second.
Through the glass, they can view the underside of water's beautiful sheen.
Ram questioned, "What should we do now, how are we going to find him and get him back?" out of concern for Rudra.
With a weak grin, Rajeev said, "Don't you recollect what he said?"
Ram considered his last words.
"Thus, we are unable to locate him.?"
"He was unwilling to return, so let's bide our time till he does". Rajeev was sad beyond belief.
Ram added, "Dad said that she is her precious one; if she gets her recollections back, we will undoubtedly prove him right," as he turned to face Gowthami. The ram's eyes held a glimmer of optimism.
"Let's give it a go, Ram, but we must not even attempt to compel her to regain her memories since doing so would severely harm her."
..
Rudra and his tribe were being attacked by a guy and his supporters.
"Where is Sakhi, Guru? I've heard she's returned; please give her back to me."
Rudra said violently, "Don't ever dare to get closer to her; she already left this place and started a new life."
"begun a fresh life?"The attacker replied, "I will not abandon her. She will start that new life with me. She will only have her life with me."
The guy furiously said, "She is my love; she was alongside me throughout her formative years. You corrupted her mind and drove her farther from me."
Rudra furiously remarked, "Behave like human beings; no girl is going to wed a man who slaughtered her father."
"It was his own doing; he got me angry and drove me to do it. It was not his aim to damage him;" said the attacker " where she headed"
