Arivu…..Chelvi……….Arivu……Chelvi. The guy tried recalling the name, he couldn’t recall any person in his life by the name Arivuchelvi.
“Oh my god! Please, tell me the truth, why am I here? What’s going on around me?” The guy pleaded and cried. He couldn’t bear it anymore, he felt as though his head would explode.
“I don’t know, who you are. You don’t know, Who I am? Still, we are here in the same situation. The only difference is, I somehow feel peace here and you feel threatened.” The man said.
“Feel peace! Here! Are you a serial killer?” The guy asked
“Don’t make me one.” The man responded furiously.
“Is Ezhil here? The young girl who was whimpering the whole time intervened”
“I am going to kill that Ezhil if I see him.” The man roared.
The young girl was constantly repeating the name “Ezhil” by and then from the point of her arrival. That triggered the man.
The young girl started howling out of fear and begged not to do any harm to her “Ezhil.” The young girl was purely innocent. She didn’t either know or care about what was going on. All she wanted was to reunite with her “Ezhil.”
“Elango, it’s a little girl, don’t shout at her.” The woman Arivuchelvi said to the man.
“Elango”. “Elango”. Both the girl and guy muttered the name. As soon as they heard the name, their brain processed for people they have come across so far. They both couldn’t recall a person by that name in their life. Somehow both were convinced within themselves that the man and the woman were behind this entire process.
“Anyhow you are going to harm us. It will be good if we know the reason before it.” The girl said.
“I am sorry Dad”. She said holding her emotions. She was on the edge to give up her fight as she couldn’t figure out whom she was arguing with. She could neither take a guess nor recall the memories of how she entered that place. All she did know was, something horrible has happened. But she wanted to know why she was there at that dreadful place. She overcame the fear within her to a certain extent and was ready for anything to happen.
“Don’t include me in it. I am not going to die like this.” The guy said breathing out.
“That’s the spirit bro. Let’s fight.” A new raspy voice encouraged.
“Oh god! Who are you, man?” The guy was fed up with every new entry.
“That’s me. GOD.” The raspy voice said
