'You are home to me..
I'm coming home..'

Suhasini reached home and tried to call him. But his number was not reachable. So she tried Nathan's number which had the same results.

She then called Eeshwar..

Eeshwar: Sister-in-law...

Suhasini: Eeshwar.. Do you know about your brother's schedule or anything???

Eeshwar: Anni.. Don't worry... He reached coast half an hour before and on his way to the island in a ship.. Please don't worry.. I'm on coast..

There is a severe network outage. So you might not get his number.. But we are connecting through radio signals.

And based on that, he is totally fine...

Eeshwar could see her worry through her voice. So he assured her of his brother's safety.

Suhasini: please keep me updated. Just call me.. Okay... I will be awake...

Eeshwar: Sister-in-law.. Have some sleep.. Brother might be staying there for 3 or 4 days... Are you planning to stay awake until he returns???

Suhasini: okay I'll take care.. You too take care.. Stay safe..

Eeshwar: Good night anni...

He then cut the call..

His assistant came running towards him..

Assistant: We received weather report that storm is going to get intensified.. Its not safe to use waterways anymore...

Eeshwar: I hope his highness stays safe there...

Lines of worry were visible on his face...

Suhasini was not able to sleep properly. She had a very disturbed sleep. She was checking her phone again and again to see whether she received any calls from Eeshwar. But there was not any.

She was worried for Adi. She felt like crying. But tears were not coming. She did not sign up for anything like this. She sighed at the play of fate. She was too scared to even wink her eyes.

In the early morning, she slept for an hour from all exhaustion.

She woke up and switched on tv as the first thing. She then tuned to a news channel.

Reporter: Niru island is on the brink of destruction. Floods have entered the city. Our government is working swiftly to secure our citizens.. But with no travel between the mainland and island, the people are stranded on island..

This came as a huge thunder on her...

She called Eeshwar.

Suhasini: Eeshwar.. Just tell me.. How is he??? Did you talk with him??? why it isn't safe to travel??? Waterways um close panniyacha???

Eeshwar: Anni calm down... We are still in contact.. Its just that they are stranded.. Flood jaasthi ah irukku... So waterways close panni irukku.. May be few hours... We will send our ships to bring back people..

Neenga bayapadadhinga... Brother will be safe...

Suhasini: Its fine if you are in contact with him...

Eeshwar: Yes... You don't worry anni..

Eeshwar cut the call and looked at his assistant.

Assistant: Your highness.. We even lost the connection through radios an hour before..

Eeshwar: yeah.. But I cannot say that to her.. Brother's command..

Lets prepare our rescue ships and boats.. Once the rain settles down, we can send them up... I really hope that he keep himself alive...

Eeshwar was so worried by that time.. He lived his life by seeing his brother. He always stayed in his brother's shadow and quite enjoyed it too.. But today he felt so alone..

His family was asking him from one side and suhasini was asking him from the other side. He did not know what to say to them...

-----

Suhasini was still sitting in front of the tv. There was a slight drizzle outside and the weather looked gloomy as her mind.. She was checking news.

Reporter: We lost all the communication between the mainland and island.. It seems even that the radio communication used for rescue operation has failed..

Our PM and our military are stranded with the people in the island..

People in the mainland are praying for them.

Suhasini did not hear anymore.. Her hands started trembling. She did not know what to do..

She rushed out of the house to see guards standing at the doorstep..

Suhasini: Neenga...

Guard: Your highness... We are sent by younger prince to keep you safe in the absence of our prince..

Suhasini: okay...

She went back in and knew something was not okay.. She then changed her dress to jean and hoodie..

Rohit and Prerna came in few minutes..

Rohit: thalaivi edhuku vara sonninga???

Prerna: Ennai yean jean le vara sonne??

Suhasini: ellam kaaranama dhaan.. I'm going to my husband..

Prerna: have you gone mad?? He is in an island which is completely flooded..

Suhasini: That's why I'm going.. I cannot just sit and watch... You stay here as me...

Wear this.. This is my pajamas.. Don't go out.. Stay in the room.. Mostly food will be dropped by door.. So you will be fine..

Prerna: nalla yosichitiya????

Suhasini: yosichu dhaan Soldren.. That guy out there would do the same thing for me if I'm stuck in a stranded island.. Let me go...

Prerna: Be safe...

She was so worried for Suhasini but she also knew she could not stop her.

Rohit: Don't worry thalaivi.. You are a good soul.. You would be fine.. Come back with our Prince..

Suhasini: Rohitey... Drop me at port da.. I cannot take any of our cars.. And I cannot stay here anymore...

Rohit: Neenga sollanuma.. Vaanga...

They came out of the house.. She informed Prerna to come with a similar attire.. As they both had similar stature, guards did not doubt them.

She soon reached port...

Rohit: Idhuku mela epdi povinga???

Suhasini: I need to find some way... I cannot go in just like that.. Eeshwar is there.. Paathutta poga vida mattanga...

I will do something.. You get going...

She then entered the port from the other end. As they were hurrying, there was not much security in the port other than first line of security. So she entered from backside and then she saw the ships loading in one corner of the port.. She saw Eeshwar.. She thought of a plan to divert him.

She called him from her number.. He moved to a silent corner to answer the phone.. She slowly hid between the boxes and entered a rescue boat..

She noticed the captain of the boat. He also looked at her but did not recognize her .. It was a medium sized boat.

Captain: yaaru ma nee??? yean ma inga vandhe???

She removed her mask..

Suhasini: Ennai theriyudha???

Captain: Maharani.. Neengala??? Neenga yean inga vandhinga??

Naanga ellarume Rasa ve kaappatha dhaan porom.. Kadal romba seetrama irukku.. Neenga thaanga mattinga.. Poidunga..

Suhasini: en petche kelunga please.. Ungalku avar raja va irukkalam enaku adhu en purushan.. Naan paakanum.. Ennale inga utkandhutu irukka mudiyale.. Kadaluku ponavar Enna aanar nu naanum kaathutu irukka mudiyadhu.. Avar illana enaku edhuvum illa.. Appa maari irukkinga.. Ponna kekuren..

Please..

She started weeping...

The captain could not talk anymore...

Captain: ma azhadhinga... Ungale bathrama sekkuradhu en poruppu.. Neenga en araiyileiye utkandhukanga.. Innum 4 pasanga varuvanga.. Avanga kitte naan pesikren..

Soon the guys came into the boat.. The captain started the boat after few minutes..

The tides were unmerciful. The boat rocked as they hit so harder. Everyone stood by gripping the ropes. Suhasini was heavily scared but something gave her an immense strength to face anything. She did not deter her mind even for one moment.

They soon reached the shores of the island..

Captain: ma naangalum unga kooda varom... Neenga thaniya poga veandom..

Suhasini nodded her head and ran out of the port. She was unfamiliar to this part of land. She never traveled when she stayed at her chithappa's house and she was yet to travel with Adi.

Captain: Ma.. inga City le irukkavanga ellam pakkathule vidudhi le thanga vechirukangalam.. Inga irundhu konja dhooram pona vandhurum.. Poi paakalam.. Angaye Rasa irukkanum nu veandikonga...

She prayed all gods in her mind. She realised how much she loved him. She never worried about anything when he was with her. He always made sure that she was doing good and fine. He literally did everything for her.

There was soul numbing silence in his absence. She never felt alone in her life. She was feeling all alone now. She realised the depth of his love and affection. He was the only person she ever wished for.. She could then see everything properly.

She was feeling immensely guilty as she didn't express her feelings fully to him. Now she wanted to express everything. But he wasn't there in front of her..

She was wishing for him to be in that shelter.. She walked with a hope in her mind towards the shelter.
