Ganesh was raging on the fact that his son was in jail. "Complaint kuduthava yaaru yenna, ella details um edu. En paiyan nu terinju eh ulla anpirka!!" He exclaimed. His subordinates then passed him a paper. "Shalini Chakravarty...." Ganesh repeated to himself. "Idhu andha Avinash oda pondatti ah nu check pannu." He told and caressed his white beard.
"Aiyya avaru pondatti dhan-nga." A guy added and he raged. "Modhala en CM post, adhuku aprom ennaku vandha commission mela Avan Kai vecha varaikum seri aana en pulla melaye kai vechitan la?" He asked. "Aiyya Namma paiyan dhan andha ponnu kooda--" the man told but surrendered to Ganesh's glare. "Avan pondatti ah thooku!" He exclaimed. "Bihar, UP, Kerala enga irrundhu venalum aal ah koopdu aana naliku Kula ava namma custody la irrukanum!" He exclaimed.

Avi walked inside the playroom to find Sam and Aadhu playing. But when Sam noticed Avi. She rushed to him and hugged his legs while he ruffled her hair. At the same time, he noticed Aadhu watching them. Avi opened his arms calling her to join but she refused. "Apdi en mela enna dhan ma kovam?" He asked. "Why do you make my mom cry? If you make someone cry you are a bad person." She told. Avi sat down and Sam beside him, he motioned Aadhu to join them and she followed. "Your mom left me, I didn't leave your mom adhu teriyuma?" He asked and Aadhu nodded yes.
"Unga amma enna maari oru good person ah kooda vechika mudila nu azharanga." He told. "Not because I told her something mean or anything." He explained. "If she cried on missing you, nee yen tirumbi varala?" Aadhu asked. "Ponadhu unga amma dhana? Naa yen pinnadi varanum?" Avi questioned. "Because in all Bollywood films I have seen, Sharukh running behind the heroine not the other way around!!" Aadhu exclaimed. "I am not Sharukh baby, real life is different from the movies." He told. "But still you could have come behind her, like Vaaranam Aayiram Surya." She told and Avi sighed.
"Indha cinema kadha ellam vidu, have you ever heard of Vikramaditya and vetal story?" Avi asked and Aadhu nodded no. "So basically, Oru Saint vandhu Vikramadityan apdinu oru king kitta, kaatla irruka vedhalatha enkitta eduthutu vaa nu solluvaru." Avi began. "Andha King um eduthutu varen nu promise pannuvaru." He told when Aadhu intervened, "Aama vedhalam naa enna?". Avi looked at Sam for help. "Aadhu adhu vandhu ghost madhiri, it's not exactly living, nalla Vela colour mudi oda, periya pallu, long nails Ellam vechu bayamgarama irrukum, murrunga maram mela irrukum nu solluvanga." Sam told.
"Purinjicha?" Avi asked and Aadhu nodded. "Appo Vikramadityan vandhu kaatu Kula poi andha Vedalatha kootitu vara ponaram, avaru andha Vedalatha koopta appo adhu vandhu 'naa un kooda varanum na rendu condition irruku.' apdinu sollucham. Andha condition enna na, Vikramadityan andha vedhalatha mudhugalaye thookitu poganum, innonu vandhu andha vedhalam oru kadha solli mudichitu oru question kekumam adhuku Vikramadityan answer pannita andha vedhalam tirumba murunga marathuke poidum, adhuku Avan badhil eh sollala na andha vedhalam Vikramadityan ah konnudum."
(In other versions of this story kuruka pesna tirumbi poidum nu sollitu it will ask questions, but adha oru six year old kitta sollambodhu over-complicate panna vendam nu we are going with a simpler version.)
"Adhu epdi? Now that guy can't react both ways na, Avan epdi andha Vedalatha kootitu vandhan?" Aadhu asked. "Adhu dhan kutty ma kadhai eh!" He told. "Aprom ennachu?!!" She asked eagerly. Avi smiled seeing the sparkle in her eyes. "Mmmm.... So, appo ovoru dhadavayum andha vedhalam oru oru story solli mudichitu question kekum, appo badhil sollalam uyir poidum nu andha Vikramadityan um answer solliduvan appo tirumba andha vedhalam murrunga maram eridum, idhuve tirumba tirumba tirumba nadandhute irrukum!!" Avi told.
"Naa Vikramadityan illa ma, unga amma ovoru dhadava murrunga maram erumbodhu ennala poi Kenji kootitu vara mudiyadhu." He confessed. "Enga amma va vedhalam nu solriya?" Aadhu asked and Sam chuckled. "Adhu epdi ma ammavum pullayum naa solla Vara vishyatha correct ah thappa purinjikringa?" Avi asked and began wincing as Aadhu practiced boxing on him. "Yen ma nee dhana yen varala nu ketta, adhuku dhana ivalo periya kadha sonnen, innuma puriyala?" He asked but this time Aadhu reduced the power in her punches and playfully punched him causing the trio to giggle together as Avi playfully hit a teddy bear on her. Aadhu and him played tug of war with it, causing Avi to rip its head off.
"Daddy!! You killed Mr.Cuddles!!" Sam exclaimed. "Mira naa vera vaangi tharen." He told but Sam threw a pillow on him. "Aadhu hit him for me!!" Sam complained playfully. "Edhey?!! Ennadi kootani serndhu jeikalam nu paakringla?" He chided playfully causing a pillow fight between them making the place flood with the pillow stuffing and giggles.

Shalini who was still coping up from the harrasment trauma, heard loud giggles from the play room. She opened the door to find a huge mess of cotton and feathers and ripped pillows and toys and what not? Shalini gasped seeing Avi on the floor with Sam tickling him while Aadhu hit him with pillow. Shalini smiled seeing Avi laughing wholeheartedly along with Aadhu and Sam.
"Fine Fine!! I surrender!!" He whined raising his hands and the duo left him. "Mr.cuddles ah konnadhuku you should face trial!" Sam added. "Naa en lawyer ah contact panniklama?" He played on and searched his phone when his eyes met Shalini's. Sam turned to look at the door and found Shalini. "Mommy join us." Sam added. "Illa paapa, you guys play on." Shalini told. "Mommy did someone make you cry?" Aadhu asked noticing Shalini's face. "Adhellam illa baby, thala light ah valikudhu, thoongna seri aagidum." Shalini added. "You want to contact the doctor?" Avi asked but she refused.
She walked back into her room and hugged her knees, it was the fourth threatening call within an hour to remove the case on Ganesh's son. Avi walked by her room, the door was wide open and she was sitting in a trance like state with her phone ringing loudly. Avi walked into the room hesitantly and tapped her shoulders. "Phone adikudhu paaru." He told. "Naa edukla." She told with tears brimming her eyes. Avi took the phone and attended the call, before he could talk, he heard a group of men calling obscene words at her and asking her to remove the case.
"Hello, case ah remove panrom, inime call panni disturb pannadhinga." Avi told and Shalini widened her eyes in anger. Avi cut the call and threw the phone on the bed. "Naa sonnena?!! Case ah naa remove panna poren nu!" She exclaimed. "Avan Avan, he tried to harass me, he touched me (tears brim her eyes)... He touched me and I didn't like it!!" She exclaimed and Avi sighed. "Shalini, idha legal ah deal panna venam, adhu Ganesh oda son! Naa avana vera maari deal panren. Avana kola case la vena kooda illa poga veikren, ippo venam." Avi added. "Mudiyadhu, naa case ah tirumbi vaanga maaten, that bastard should go in as the cheap Pombala porruki he is!!" Shalini added wiping her eyes.
"Naa solra oru vishyathum ketradha!!" He exclaimed and walked out on her and banged the door shut.
