“Am here” Sweety said “Do you all miss me? Or, are you all sad, that I might have escaped from this place?” Sweety asked out of curiosity.
“Only GOD was missing you,” Preash volunteered, and some giggled in response.
“People can be happy in any situation if they think they want to be. They can be, isn’t?” Elango kept a thoughtful question in front of everyone
“Look, we are in the most horrible space, we don’t know what’s going to happen next, yet we are ok”
Preash dismayed, “Are we happy Elango? We are tired of crying. We can’t do anything. It’s all out of our control.”
“I have met different people in my life, and usually my guesses don’t go wrong, here nothing is in my control. I can’t give a thought beyond this. I am exhausted.” Preash was letting out his frustration
“Everything good or bad has a motto, here in this place, to fulfil whose motto are we here, we don’t have any idea.”
“Motto!” Elango tried to know Preash’s thoughts
“Yes Motto, aim, purpose, anything. To do or to carry out any action we want something in return, right” Preash said
“So, what’s the motto of this entire space,” Asked Preash
“You are an Intelligent guy, I think so. I haven’t thought about it at all.” Arivuchelvi was weighing down the intelligence level.
“What do you think? What would be the purpose of it?” Elango asked Preash
“Definitely not a good one. Tying up humans with a blindfold, putting them in an unknown place, and making them suffer, only a Psych can do this.” Preash said
“That’s what we humans are doing to animals,” said Gomathi “We tie up cows, we put a rope in its nose to control it and we steal its milk too,”
“Speak animal rights somewhere else not here, please. Let’s save us first, then we can care for animals” Elango shouted. Once a man who said he was comfortable here, now was searching for a way to get out of it.
“Money, money, money. It’s the only motto of every human,” said GOD. “That’s why I am going to marry sweety”
“Is somebody intoxicating you, or are you exploiting yourself?” Asked Preash
He didn’t reply
Preash rejected the option of money being the reason behind the kidnap.
“Why do you think, money can’t be a motto for this act?” Elango asked
“They would have demanded, wouldn’t?” Preash said
“Money can’t be a Motto, why should they kidnap a beggar if they want money?” Sudalai spilled the beans
“Who is a beggar here?” Elango asked
“I Sudalai, am a beggar.” Said Sudalai with pride.
“Oh my god! am I with a beggar? Oh my god!” Arivuchelvi couldn’t digest the fact that she was near a beggar. She reacted and blabbered so much for the next few minutes.
“Human trafficking,” Said Elango “How dare they kidnap the police?”
“Are you? Is it true? Why can’t you help us, then?” Asked Gomathi
“We are too human, we don’t have the superpower to help everyone.”
“Where would have they taken Raja?” Sweety spoke after a long time.
“Why didn’t they take me yet?”
“Did you share your memories with us because of that, did you think you will be taken away if you share everything about yourself, you are such an Idiot,” Preash was angry at Sweety
“What do you expect from me? To sit and investigate like you?” Sweety questioned Preash.
