Thulasi saw the man's bleeding face and became shocked. It wasn't who she expected to see.

"Some drunkard didn't see where he was driving and crashed into the bus. Someone call the ambulance quick!" said the bus driver.

Thulasi was so relieved that it wasn't TA and decided to head back to bus. She turned around to walk when she bumped into someone hard. Thulasi stumbled back and looked up to see who it was and gasped.

"Thulasi?" TA said astounded to see her here. Thulasi was just as shocked as her mouth dropped open. They were both too surprised for words as both of them tried to process what happened. Before Thulasi could take a step back, TA grabbed her hand and pulled her to him and hugged her fiercely. Thulasi didn't know what to do as she couldn't pull away. She fell into his arms and began to shed tears on TA's shirt.

TA held her tight in his arms as he was scared she might disappear again and stroked her hair as Thulasi continued to sob. "Thulasi'" called TA lifting her face up to meet his and smiled. Thulasi looked at him sadly. "Why did u leave?" asked TA sadly.

"You know why I left. It's not good for you to be with me," said Thulasi.

"Aama, big dhosham. I will be erased from the world," said TA getting annoyed with Thulasi's talk of dhosham.

The bus conductor had cleared out the people and was ready to get going. "Everybody, sorry for the delay. Let's get going." TA looked up and gave Thulasi a questioning look while keeping a firm hold on her hands. "I have to get on the bus," said Thulasi trying to pull her hands from TA's grip. "Ok, go ahead," said TA. Thulasi was surprised he let her go so fast but didn't want this opportunity to be gone.

She ran quickly to the bus and got into her seat and looked out. Her eyes searched where TA was just moments ago but he had disappeared. Thulasi looked down saddened that she had to leave him once more but tried to convince herself that it was for the best. Just as the bus was starting, she felt someone poke her arm.

Thulasi turned to see who did that and saw that the seat next to Thulasi was now occupied. "Wherever you're going, I'm coming too, Kuttyma," said TA.
