Haari : I think we all should leave. It keeps getting
worse the more we stay here.
Rohan : But we have nowhere to go as our car shut
down.
Sharan : How about we eat a plate of biryani before we
leave?
Marcus : Idiot! I think its time. We have to go seek help
from the EFLerrs. The all mighty AP Siva balan can help
us.
Sharan : I have his number let me call him.
*Siva balan picks up the call and sends a car to the
cottage*
*The group of friends are leaving as they abandoned
Aahil and delena in the cottage. Aahil was murdered
later as they saw a big portal being exploded*
Delena : You little brats! You think I will let you all slide
off just like that? Don’t even think so. Nothing can
destroy me in this world, Im inevitable.
Marcus : Really? Im gonna ask you a question. Whats
1 x 1?
Delena : *In deep silence, trying her best to answer*
Sharan : Delena why are you so silent?
Delena : Silence, silence, silence.. I don’t like it, I avoid..
but silence likes me, I cant avoid.
Rohan : *Throws a bomb at the cottage and everything
exploded*
Harri : Wow! What type of bomb is that? It destroyed
everything.
Rohan : I call it the koosu bomb.
Marcus : Finally we made it out alive. Im never gonna
go into a cottage ever again.
Sharan : It was a very scary experience yet we learned
many things. We shouldn’t trust everyone we see at
the first sight and we also should carry bottles of fuel
everywhere we go.
Harri : If we work as a team, anything is possible.
Marcus : Thanks to AP siva balan for the car. He really
saved us. Same goes to Aahil.
