Punish or forgive

"I lost! I lost! Veeraman ! " Dhamavi exclaimed with desperation. Golavan, on the other hand, thought to himself, "If she suddenly makes me fly or conjures fire in her hand, is she a witch? My son is getting close to her." Golavan called out to Veeraman, "Come here, she might do something to you. What are we going to do with these people?"

Veeraman asked what he should do, and then he went to Damavi. Veeraman said, "I understand what happened to Damavi." Her gaze was filled with anger and sadness, like the eyes of Avval, the bird that hunts at night in this world. Her gaze was directed towards Golavan, who stood hidden because he was undressed.

Veeraman attempted to calm Damavi and told her that they would deal with whatever happened to her later. "The mother is about to arrive, and when she sees the situation, it will become a bigger problem."

Damavi attempted to create fire in her hand and attack, saying, "If I kill him, my anger will subside," but Veeraman stopped her.

"Dhamavi, should I tell you, or should I handle it later?" he reassured, "Kolavan... father, go and change your clothes. It's time for mother to arrive, and you're also Dhamavi." As she stared at kolavan, she went into the room, her eyes fixed on him. Kolavan felt that the amulet was burning and turned into ash. He quickly changed his clothes out of fear. Veeraman used his magical powers to repair the broken items. Golavan realized, "My son is calling my name, stopping that witch from creating fire, and calming her in her peak of anger. He's doing it by reciting some mantras. What if I send my son to learn from him? What has happened to my son?" he muttered.

The keen-eared warrior asked, "Father, they haven't harmed me more than what you've done now." Veeraman said to Golavan.

After fixing everything properly, Dhamavi saw Veeraman and asked, "Veeraman, why are you wearing leaves as clothes? Where are your real clothes?" Then he noticed himself and immediately went to his room to change.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and kolavan went to open it. It was Vihni, who had brought things for dinner. Golavan, fearing to reveal what happened earlier, didn't mention it to her. As Dhamavi began preparing dinner with apparent anger and hostility, Vihni inquired, "What happened today, Dhamavi? You seem so upset. Did something go wrong?"

Golavan was about to respond, "How can I say this?" when Veeraman interrupted, "I didn't study the lesson Dhamavi gave today, that's why she's upset," Veeraman lied.

Upon hearing this, Vihni commented, "Oh, that's the issue. You should also study diligently. You shouldn't make her suffer. She's been working all day, and you should be learning what she teaches you." Vihni then got up from her seat, and Veeraman asked, "Mom, where are you going?"

Vihni replied, "I'm going to help her. How much work can she do alone?" Then Golavan commented to Veeraman, "Your mother doesn't realize that she'll end up managing this household all by herself."

Are you staying quiet for a while?" Veeraman said angrily, "You are the reason for Damavi's anger."

"What I did was wrong So what ? if she died? This is the nature of living beings," he said plainly.

Hearing this, Veeraman's anger reached its peak, but he managed to control his temper and said, "If another word comes out of your mouth, I will no longer see you as my father. I will kill you myself," he added angrily.

Upon hearing this, Golavan stopped talking.

"On the other side, Vilini was happily cooking in the kitchen, her heart filled with joy. If Dhamavi concealed the sadness in her heart and inquired, 'Why are you so happy today?' Vilini responded, 'My husband has returned after many days, isn't that wonderful?'

Upon hearing this, Dhamavi asked, 'Do you love your husband that much?' To which Vilini, curious about the change in Dhamavi's tone, inquired, 'Is something unusual on your mind?' Dhamavi replied, 'It's nothing.

I love my husband more than anything. When we were in love, many women tried to compete with me, but my love for him defeated them all and brought us together. I never allowed other women to get close to my husband, so when he introduced you, is there a reason for me to misunderstand that he married you?" Vilini asked. Damavi nodded in agreement, "I remember that moment well. After you explained the situation and assured me that you wouldn't do anything wrong, I finally found peace. You promised that you would remain faithful to him, and he would never be unfaithful to me. But what if he ever cheated on you?"Damavi replied while cooking,

"If that ever happened, there would be no life left in my body, and I would only be a lifeless body in the ground." Dhamavi wiped a tear from her eye and smiled, "But I believe in him, and I know it will never happen."

Vilini smiled in return, "Yes, my husband will never cheat on me."

They both finished their meal while discussing this. When it was time to eat, everyone sat down, and there was silence at the table.

Vilini broke the silence, "Why is no one talking?"

Veeraman replied, "I read in a lesson today that it's not polite to talk while eating, so I refrained from speaking, and father did the same. After we finish eating,father and I plan to talk until dawn."

Vilini asked, "what ? You're going to talk all night?"

Veeraman whispered, "It's a matter related to men, so it shouldn't be spoken aloud."

"Look at how he talks," vilini commented. Kolavan replied, "What's the big deal? He called me by my name this evening, and you don't deserve it. If you observe, you'll understand."

In his mind, he lamented, "They will still be upset."

Eventually, everyone finished their meal, and Vilini went to sleep. Outside the house, Veeraman signaled for kolavan to come out, and kolavan timidly joined them with fear.

The night was filled with the bright sounds of the stars in the sky, casting darkness over the surroundings. They stood near the veeraman's house, hidden in the dark like a payil the carnivorous bird searching for its prey, Like Damavi and Veeraman glared at Golavan with anger.

Golavan approached them hesitantly, realizing that the moment of reckoning had arrived.

"Now is the time. Do as you wish with him. I will inform mother," Veeraman said, hearing this Golavan stood nervously.

Veeraman replied, "I will handle this with a lie."

Golavan was shocked and said, "I am your father."

Veeraman responded, "A crime remains a crime, even if it wears a disguise. A mistake as a father is a mistake.

what have I done wrong? I had sex with her without her permission. Got it! Damavi apologized saying that it was my biggest mistake to have sex with you without your permission , he apologized.

Now, this is not a matter due to what you have done," said Veeraman. "Damavi's fast has been broken, and therefore, her ambition has been shattered."

Golavan, confused, asked, "I don't understand anything about fasting and ambition."

Veeraman turned to Damavi and said, "Please, explain it to him."

Golavan was apprehensive, fearing that he would be scolded, and she said to Veeraman, "I can't speak right now. You should explain and help him to understand."

Reluctantly, Veeraman began to explain about the book, fasting , and his own rebirth. After hearing this, Golavan felt overwhelmed, and her head started to spin. She fainted again.

Golavan, after regaining consciousness, asked, "Did you reincarnate and come here?"

Veeraman replied, "Yes, I was reborn from another world into this one, and I was born as your son."

Golavan then inquired, "So, are you God? Will God grant you another birth?"

Veeraman humbly responded, "No, I am just a common man."

Looking at Damavi, Golavan confessed, "I've committed the biggest crime. Please forgive me." He knelt down and touched her feet. "I saved your life, but your ambition has been destroyed. I'm not the best husband to my wife; I've cheated on her, and I've shattered your desires. I am a sinner."

Touched by his sincerity, Damavi reached out to Golavan and said, "Don't cry like this. You saved me, and I forgive you. Wipe your tears."

If Damavi helped Golavan to his feet, the readers would be shocked after reading this. They might wonder why a similar situation unfolded for Golavan, Veeraman, and me. Let's see what she has to say.

"What's wrong? You said you were going to kill him at noon, but now you say you have forgiven him. What happened?" Veeraman asked.

"If she forgives me, doesn't that mean I'm off the hook?" he wondered. "Are you a good son?" Golavan lamented in his mind.

"If I kill him, will everything change? Dhamavi says 'No,' then why should we kill him?" Golavan sighed, relieved that he survived when he heard this.

"So, what happened to your desire?" asked veeraman. "Did I find another way?" Damavi inquired.

"What way is that?" Golavan asked. Dhamavi "how many years will I have to teach you the mantra?" she asked.

Veeraman pointed his finger and said, "Three years."

"What will you pay me for what you've learned so far and to continue teaching you?" Damavi asked.

Veeraman touched all his clothes and found nothing. "I have nothing now, but tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you later."

"Will you give me whatever I ask? Seriously?" Damavi asked.

"Honestly," Veeraman promised.

Dhamavi smiled and asked, "In exchange for my answer, you must attain the full power of this book. You must become the best magician in this world. Your position and success must be given to me as the teacher fee. Will you agree to this?"

Hearing that, he was left speechless in shock.
