All the sudden, I could hear the same sound of gong, followed by the sound of the multitudinous soft pattering's was audible outside, filling the night with horror. The torrent of humming surrounded us completely, and it seemed that the sound was emitting from every quarter of the heavens. Our friends were talking on the walkie-talkie, but their sounds were muffled due to the humming sound, and it increased. Jagat and Sesha reported this on walkie-talkie, and they got the response, and the guys on the other side could view too, but as the humming were quite immense, so the response from them was muffled too, and even our network on our mobile phones were out. The swarm of the humming thicken the atmosphere, and it seemed that my lungs were filled with humming, as if I had been plunged into the river. The wind began to stir again, the howling of winds began, the clouds began to huddle. A strange thing happened, I would say they were ten feet away from landing on the boat, and they were pushed away, like an arrow from the bow, and I heard the great splash of water. Our boat began to teeter, as those hideous figures plunged in the river. We thanked God, as it was the sprinkling of holy vermillion and holy water on the boat, which has protected us.

Our boat motioned, but still the pattering's continued, filling the air again, I saw the shadowy figures again. I exclaimed, and gasping out, "Look out!!! Guys... it is.... Coming." My wife, Jagat, and Sesha looked at the direction, where I pointed. We could see them, running, parallelly to our boat, I could make out that, they were trying to sprint on the boat, but they were reluctant to do it, and they vanished. The shadows appeared again in few seconds, and minutes running, and getting vamoosed in thin air, and this continued for a long time. The winds were howling, the thunders roared, vibrating the surrounding, and then the rains came along, and then the pattering and the gong sound were suspended up in the air, and vanished. The shadowy figure vanished permanently.

Our cops reported this on walkie-talkie, and there was peace, but we were alert. The rain was heavy, my wife and Sesha slept on the bed, while Jagat and I stood at the window, standing guard, and our friends did not stop. I could see the pale light, among the clouds, and the rains halted for a moment. I heard the shrilly cry of the birds, and it seemed gentle on my ears. Jagat and I were on the sofa, we did not sleep. Jagat and I stepped out of the room, I breath the fresh air, extending my arms, and the boat was still in motion, we inspected the boat, and we went to driver's cabin, and our friends came out of their rooms, my wife, and Sesha too came out of the room. We were happy, and thanked God, and each other, as we worked as a team to come out of crises. We halted in a town, and there we purchased provisions, and we slept on boat the entire day, and we halted in that town. Later, we returned home, but we caught one of the tributaries of the Godavri River, and then, we reached Ravindran's village, and we stayed there for few weeks, bid adieu to our Ravindran's relatives, and with a promise to return, and we returned home. We went to the temple from where we bought the divine lockets and holy vermillion. We thanked God multiple times, as God is the source of the universe, beyond time and space.
