Evening 6:15 pm

At Gayathri's home

The five of them had thrashed it out

Mullai sent a message on the group..informing that they knew who had done it..it was a guy named babu..they were going to see him now

Meena : paarunga chittappa..yaaro babuvam..avana thedi poraanga

Gayathri broke her silence

Gayathri: naan nadanthathe soldren..naanum babuvum love pannom..nalla paiyan thaan...aana thideernu veetla enakku kalyanam pesa aarambichuttaanga..athe sonna pothu avanoda antha kovam athe naan ethir paarkale..romba negative aayittan..naan ennavo kaase paarthu manasa maathikitta mathiri yosichu..enna ellaamo pesittan..appo thaan velaginen..enakku munname theriyum kanna ippudi seyya vaaippu illennu..thappu thaan naan varen unga kooda ..kanna mela kudutha complaint vapus vaanguren..intha kaathal naala neraiya adi vaangitten..ippo kannana kaappathina innum adi thaane kedaikkum parava ille..

Meena : thanks Gayathri..kavala padatha un vaazhkai nalla padiya amaiyum

Jeeva : sir unga ponnu paavam..konjam aatharava irunga..avvalavu thaan ennala solla mudiyum..thelivaana ponnu

G's dad : naanum varen..

They all left to the police station

At the busstand

Kathir and Mullai met with the Kanna's friend...

Ashwin : vaanga anna..inga thaan 2 theru thalli antha paiyan veedu

They went looking for him there..but the house was locked..

Kathir : enga poi iruppaanga..avan number irukka

Ashwin : illenna..aana avar friend shiva veedu yen veettu pakkathula thaan..number ille aana inganakkulla pakkathula thaan..poi nera paarthudalaama

They were losing precious time but there was no option

They went to Shiva's house..they spoke to him..he was initially hesitant..but when he understood the gravity of the situation..

Shiva : avan relative oda marriage..trichy poraan..avan family nethu poittanga..innikku collegela test..athaan avan mattum innikki kelambittan..6:50 bus nu sonnan..

The time then was 6:40

Kathir and Mullai got a photo of the boy and thanked the boys and left immediately..

At the lawyer's office

Lawyer : sir eppudiyaavathu complaint kuduthathu ingaya kaaraikudilayaannu theriyanume

Moorthy : hello Meena naan Moorthy pesaren..un thangai kitta complaint enga kuduthu irukkaangannu kekka mudiyama

Meena : venaam maamaa..naan complaint kuduthavanga kittaye kekkaren..

She checked and informed Moorthy that it was in Kaaraikudi..she also informed him that they were going to take Kanna's name of the complaint

Moorthy : yen muthal thambiyum avan wifeum complaint vapous vaanga sammathikka vechuttaanga sir..

Lawyer : aanaalum namma kelambalaam..yena kanna per complaint lernthu eduthaalum police kku avan thaan starting point ena antha number lernthu thaan photos poi irukku..athunaala naama kelambalaam

The lawyer, Jega and Moorthy left to Kaaraikudi

The time was 6:45 pm

At exactly the same time

Murugan : seri Parvathy..naanga kelamburom

Parvathy took the ashes from near the pooja stand and applied it for Kanna

Parvathy : onnum bayappada koodathu..athellam un annanungalum anningalum paarthuppaanga..nee onnum pannala ille..nadanthatha thalaiya nimirthi sollu..athu pothum..she tried to infuse confidence..

Murugan and Kanna left in the car that Murugan had engaged..he had foreseen that they might need it to go to Kaaraikudi

Time was 6:53

Kathir and Mullai reached the busstand just in time to see the Trichy bus leave the stand..

They stood there looking at the leaving bus with a sense of foreboding..
