It was as if the Guru had been at his peak for three days at work and in his own life. For Arjun everything was more satisfying than he thought. The final day was Friday ... the day they had planned the hardest part of the shoot so far. Unaware of whether it was possible or not, they were traveling through the jungle to a village about 180 km away, wrapped in darkness and making their way to the road.

Slowly Arjun left Surya anna in front seat and Arjun was cunningly grabbing the last seat with his Sahi. He was so glad to see the search for him in her eyes, though he had not yet said anything openly.

Surya : Arjun!!

Arjun : Sollunga anna...

Surya : Illai... Idhuku mela kadiagal varumaa nu therila... Opposite la oru parotta kada varum nu David solraan... Ukaandhu saaptutu irukka mudiyaathu... Parcel vaangitu poi indha area va kadanthathum engeyaavathu niruthi saaptukuvomaa...?

Arjun : Sari naa... David a kadai la nirutha sollunga...

He turned towards Sahana...

Arjun : Hey...! Unakku pasikudhaa...? Unmaiya solanum. Ilanaa innum 1 hour aagum naama saapdrathukku.

Sahana : Ipo dhaane tes saaptom... Enakku pasi illa...

Arjun : Are you sure...?

Sudha : Paraa... Arjun anna engalayum konjam kavanikuradhu...?

Others turned to laughing mode...

Arjun : Poda dei...

He too smiled...

Arjun's m.v : Kandu pudichitaangale...!

His laughter widened even more as he saw Sahana turn to the window shyly and nervously. He would have teased how many budding love in college or in old office...? His mind raced with shy and nervousness when it happened to him today.

But, he was a little scared of where this could go before she could come to a conclusion yet.

When they parked the car at the store opposite, they saw the shopkeeper pouring thick gravy of fried prawn on parotta and the parcels were flying here and there and had bought ten parcels and bottles of water for themselves, impressed by the smell, unpacked the parcel as soon as it was thrown into the van.

Sudha : Kiramaathu samyal ngrathu kidaikaadha vishayam da!

Surya : Dei...!

Saran : Ayyayo... Dei...!

Shocking voices came from the front, and the one who saw it himself ... was in utter amazement.

A huge elephant was lying cross-legged, completely obscuring the way to go.

He could not believe their luck. The unseen scene of having to videotape this scene at night for three days, in an unexpected place when leaving ..?

David took reverse of van with utter nervousness...

David : Karupaa irunthuchaa... Kanukku therila... Konjam naa adhu mela modhi irupen... Asanja apo dhaan adhu yaanai nu enakke therinjudhu...

He reversed the van little bit and stopped it in a convenient place for taking U-Turn...

David : Inge irunthe edunga anna... Thurathitu vandhaalum varum...

Surya, who was here with the camera and his hand, was filming the scene ... Arjun lifted himself with a camera and went downstairs.

Sahana was also downstairs with him..

Sahana : Ithoda thimura paarungalen...

Now she didn't call him sir or Arjun... She left his name in deal...

He just got a laugh too. Seeing a van coming and stopping ... the elephant did something else to break the laziness, lying down as if to say, 'Mudinjaa enna thaandi po daa paakalaam...'

Arjun : Sana.. Nee kitta ponenu vechiko... Happa nu bayanthu odidum...

He knows Sahi will get irritated when someone calls her as Sana... Wantedly he teased her...

Sahana : Neenga poi paarunga! Vaa da marumagane nu katti pudichukkum!!

Arjun : Oh... Apo adhu dhaan unga appa vaa...?

Without answering, she began to look at the footage recorded on Surya's camera as if she had not listened to what he had said.

Arjun : Idhu mattum un kaadhula vizhaadhe!

He became irritated...

The discussion of what to do next came only after the video was taken of the scene. If it lies on the only existing highway, what does they do now...?

David : Idhu endhiruchu ponaa dhaane naama kilamba mudiyum...?

Arjun : Adapaavi! Namma plan nalaa poitu irukku nu nenachene..!

Saran : David... Horn adida... Bayanthu odidum...!

David blew the horn loudly. It woke up. The next minute it turned the other side and laid back.

Pavi : Kizhinjuthu...! Ipdi azhuchaatiyam pannudhe idhu...? Innaiku naama pona maari dhaan... Pesaama thirumbi poi paduthukalaam... Vaanga...

Saran : Sariyaana kusumbu pudichathaa irukku... Vaa da, kitta poi enna nu adhati ketutu varalaam...

Sudha and Saran walked towards the elephant...

Arjun : Vandhrunga da dei...!

He shouted but soon everyone started laughing seeing the scene infront of them...

Saran : Ungala dhaane video edukka vandhom... Ipdi panlaamaa da nee..?

To say that he was ready to run keeping his one leg ready ...

Saran : Kajamugaa... Pilayaar appa... Periya manasu panni sorga vaasala konjam thirandhu vidupaa...

Sudha : Ganapathi bappa moriyaa...

He started to sing and dance...

Sahana : Adhukku kobam vara podhu... Sudha anna, vilayaandathu podhum... Vaanga...!

She shouted!!

As making her words true, the elephant turned towards them...

David : Ayyayo vandhrunga...

David took u-turn fastly... They both ran fast and it started to chase them...

They climbed in and dragged the two men who had run into the van as the van sped off, and it was chasing it too. Sahi screamed as she was about to tighten his hand and he too was sweating in fear.

After a while it has disappeared, go a little further and take the U-turn back and stop, 'happa ...!' To make everyone relax, Surya scolded both of them well. Arjun said nothing. He was even thinking of getting up and going closer. Who would have thought it would get up and chase like this ...? It is so thick and tall that it can be trampled if it is stuck. If stuck ...? God!

Halfway across the front seat with his face down, Sahi's scream suddenly came to his ears. Her hand continued to gaze, the same elephant standing behind the van scanning the glass behind the seat where he and Sahi were.

With his heart pounding in his mouth, Arjun put his hand on her mouth and pressed it silently, hastily thinking of what to do. David also sitting in back now.

Sudha : Short cut la vandhruchu da... Sethom!

Arjun : David... Apdiye nadupakathula medhuvaa poi vandiya edukka mudiyumaa...?

Surya : Arjun... Adhu paathutu irukku... Konjam asanjom naa adhu un pakkam irukura kanaadiya udachidum... Konjam pesaama iru...

Arjun's m.v : Epdi pesaama irukrathu...? Adhoda thumbikkai ku munaala irukratha ennoda kanmani la...?

Suddenly Sudha throwed something outside... Elephants which heared the sound, went to that side...

Surya : David... Seekram vaa daa..!

At lightning speed David jumped into the driver's seat and Sudha opened one parcel and throwed that outside... Surprise ...! The elephant took the parota one by one and began to chew.

The car flew at lightning speed in top gear. Flying at the same speed for half an hour, he was crossing the border without stopping for a long time.

Pavi : Ada ithupona yaana payale! Parota kaagavaa indha thurathu thurathuna...? Kumki yaana pola enna vetti seenu...?

Saran : Dei Sudha... Indha idea unakku epdi daa vandhuchu...?

Sudha : Nee kitta pona apo adhu kandukala... Naan pona apo dhaan ezhunthu vandhuchu... Naan apo parotta va vechu saaptute dhaan vandhen... Adhaan oru muyarchi panlaame nu thooki poten...

Sahana : Adhu saapta vidhatha paatheengalaa...? Paavam, romba pasi pola!

Arjun : Hmkum... Konjam vitaa adhu kanaadi vazhiyaa unna dhaan pudichu kothu parotta poturukkum... Paavamaam!

He said irritatingly...

Sudha : Arjun anna... naan nenaikuren... Andha yaanai pirates of caribbean padam paathrukum nu! Captain jack sparrow vaa thanna nenachikittu comedy pannudhu...

Arjun : Sumaa iru da... Nee vera!

Surya : Adhepdi da yaanai parotta saapdudhu...?

Saran : Vaangalen... Innoru demo paathutu varalaam...

Saran said jokingly and arjun gave a nice beat on his back...

Pavi : Indha pakkam oorukulla pazhagunathaala idhayum pazhagiduchu pola...!

Sudha : O.k... O.k... Pesunathu podhum... Unga parcel la irunthaa aaluku kaal pangu en kaila podunga...

Saran : Adha viduda... Innaila irunthu un peru yaanaiku parotta kodutha veera sudha nu azhaikka padum...! dum dum...!

Pavi : Ha...ha...ha...

It was eight o'clock in the morning when they went to town that morning. No one opens their eyes until 11am, having been beaten by the heat of the night.
