Synopsis

Shree went to meet Sai's father without Akhila's knowledge. She get caught by Akhila and she informed her parents about that. Shree's mom scolded Shree to come to the town in the next train. Akhila and Shree reached their home town. Dad convinced Shree's mom and made them return back to Chennai. Meanwhile as per Mom's wish , they all relocated to Chennai. Before their things arrive to Chennai from their town, everyone in the family faced some tough situations in the new home. Shree's Mom experienced a paranormal thing and was frightened.  When everyone was sleeping ,After a while , she again went to the window to check on it.

Run , As far as possible from this place 

Shree's mom was terribly shocked and her heart missed a beat. She saw lot of shadows roaming here and there. She was taken back and returned to her bed without any noise. The next morning Shree's mom said what happened last night. Dad said "You could have woke me up". Mom said "I was scared that you people will be panicked. Just to avoid that , I didn't woke you up". Shree said "I already had doubt about this home". Akhila too joined "Me too. I struggled in all aspects after coming here". Dad went to near by shops and asked about the details of the house. But no body gave negative answers. Dad was clueless. Mom said "My friend is coming to visit us this evening. He knows to detect paranormal and he will give a remedy for this. I haven't discussed this to him. Let's see how he feel when he comes here". Everybody was eagerly waiting for his arrival. In the evening Mom's friend came home. The friend looked the home differently and in the first step into the home made him embarrassed. Shree's mom noticed that and said "What happened?". He didn't utter a word for few minutes. Everybody was looking at him. After few minutes , he said "Where is the Pooja room?". Mom said "We still didn't arrange the pooja room. Akhila hanged a picture of Lord Muruga. and also Raghavendra Swamy picture been hung by Shree. As of now , we lit a small lamp in front of them". The friend said "I want you to lit the lamp now". Mom hurried to the place and lit the lamp. The lamp was dim and couldn't able to burn bright. However they tried she couldn't make the lamp bright. The friend said "The lamp won't be bright , Vacate this place as soon as possible. Do not ask for any reasons or explanations". Akhila said "But , It is hard to get the advance back". The friend said  "Do something and get out of this place . Otherwise , your whole life will be at stake. Only people have really bad time will be end up in living in this home. I think , It is your good time that you know about this house. Do not delay . Run as far as possible from this place". Shree was blinking out of shock. 

They never like people being happy and makes them unhappy too. 

Mom said to the friend about her experience last night. Mom . out of curiosity asked "What is wrong with this home?" . The friend said "I can feel lot of negative vibrations around me". He closed his eyes and walked. His legs lead him to the garden of that house. He opened his eyes. For fifteen minutes, he was watching the traffic in front of the home. He saw four ambulance passing the home in fifteen minutes . Each ambulance paused before the home for a minute and left. The friend cleared his throat and said "So , your home exactly situated in the main road signal. Is there any emergency hospital near your place ?". Akhila said "Yes, In a mile". The friend said "In fifteen minutes , I saw four ambulance passing your home. As it is an emergency hospital , definitely it carries patients who need emergency care , may be people met with accidents". He paused for a second and continued , "Some people die on the way to the hospital. When this ambulance stops here for a minute. The spirits comes out and stays here. I can feel each and every spirit is restless and unhappy because their death is not  natural. Some may died at very young age and some may died without fulfilling their desires. In olden days , we have a saying that women in home should not cry often and that is bad omen which brings bad luck to the family. Similarly , You saw a woman crying in front of your home. These spirits were crying because of disappointments and unfulfilled desires. So , even when humans cry , it is considered as bad and spreads negativity. Just imagine about the spirits ...They never like people being happy and makes them unhappy too ". Mom said "Akhila ! Get the advance money back ,Tomorrow Morning , we are going to search a new home , Get ready !". Akhila nodded as she had no choice. Mom thanked the friend and asked him if he like to have anything. The friend said "Not even water. Do not mistake me , I will come home one day once you vacated and  would definitely have lunch with you all" and continued " Very important thing is, Once when you leave ,  Just leave and do not turn back the house at any cost" and left the place

The lucky Draw 

The next morning , Akhila , Mom and Dad took an auto and searched for  rental homes. Finally after visiting 20 houses , They finalized a home. Akhila went to the house owner and told them about their decision to vacate the home . She asked the advance back after  deducting 10 days rent. The owners were furious and yelled at her. They asked for reasons, Akhila somehow managed telling some reasons . She got the  money back after getting hell a lot of scoldings and curses from them. Akhila decided not to take those in to her heart and she was least bothered. She just want to to get out of that place as soon as possible.  They took all their things and left the ghost home. By the time , their things too reached Chennai. They arranged for a simple house warming function. The milk boiled and overflowed. Sai switched off the stove and drank the milk. Yes , the same day and the same time , Sai too did the housewarming ceremony for the home he rented. It was situated just opposite to the street where Shree's Family lived. Sai got a new job and his office was 2 miles away from Shree's office.  Everything was good in that home. As Shree's mom is a good speaker. She got an opportunity to participate in a leading TV channel program through a friend. Akhila and Dad  accompanied Mom to that place. Suddenly,  In   the program , there was a lucky draw. It was announced that  Shree's Mom  won a Bike ( Scooty Pep). It was a great shocking surprise for them.  

 The Unluckiest family became the Luckiest 

Akhila jumped in joy. The anchor asked Mom "Did some one accompany you to this program?. and Would you like to call them and speak some words about how they feel now ?". Mom said " Yes , I call my daughter Akhila to the stage to share her feelings" . Akhila came jumping to the stage and got the Mic in her hands. Her face was overwhelmed with joy. The anchor said "Hello, First of all Congratulations , How is your feeling right now". Akhila said "I am overwhelmed with happiness. There is no words. We never thought we will be here today like this . Such a wonderful moment in our life". The anchor said " Do you want to tell something about your Mom at this moment". Akhila said "We are two daughters , My Mom had seen us getting awards and prizes, But, this is the first time , we are seeing her getting a prize.  She never experienced any good things in her life.  This is a great start and from now I hope she should get all good things which would make her happy". Mom had tears in her eyes and hugged Akhila. The program was a great hit. They thanked the anchor and took some snaps. They got the voucher for the bike and was told to get delivered after three days from their office. In the home , Shree was waiting for them for a long time after she came from her office.  Mom, Dad and Akhila reached home. Akhila shouted in joy and explained everything to Shree. Shree too jumped from earth to sky.  The whole family was excited to the core. The family which thought they were unluckiest people , now felt they were the luckiest one. They can visualize a very bright future. 

The Best Bike rider 

After three days , Dad and Mom went to get the  bike from the office.  Mom asked Dad "Do you know to ride a Bike?". Dad said "Only once , I rode a bike.  It is easy for the people to ride the bike who ride bicycle". Mom blinked and said "Don't put my life at stake. If you don't know , Let us carry the bike with a tempo". Dad yelled "That's the stupid thing. Is it a flight? Just a bike.  Stay cool . I will manage to ride it". Mom still not convinced and had a fear. Dad somehow started the bike and said "Wait , I'll go for a  round and analyse how it works". Mom exclaimed "What ??". Dad smiled and rode the bike. In the first round his hands shook and he struggled. Mom's hope went down. Mom said "You are shaking the hand bar like this . I am so afraid to sit at the back of the bike with you". Dad smiled and went for the second round. His shaking somewhat decreased but still he struggled to turn the bike. Mom said "God should help me". Dad said "Don't worry , I will manage and make you reach home safely". Mom was giving instructions from back. She said "Oh my god ... too much traffic".  Dad was about to going to hit a bike stopped in the signal. But he paused the bike with a sudden brake. Mom was totally frightened and jumped from the bike. The person who came in a scooter from the side scolded Mom. The person said "OOoohh That was close... Why did you jump from the scooter. I would have hit you by this time". Dad said angrily "Can u believe me , First". Mom stayed calm. The signal was green. Dad started the bike. Till home , Mom was blabbering something about the ride. But they safely reach their home. Then Dad started taking the bike to the markets, dropped Shree in the bus stop. He became a best bike rider. 

Can't you realize that you got a green signal.

Usually Dad drops Shree in the near by bus stop. In the bus stop , she would wait for Sai to pick him in his bike. Sai would go to his office after dropping Shree in her office. Time paced at high speed. It was been a year , the family came to Chennai. That morning, Shree urged Dad to ride the bike fast as she should catch a bus. Dad asked "Why what happened to your bike driver who always drops you in office?. I mean your man". Shree was dumb struck and blinked. Dad dropped her in the bus stop. He smiled and left the place. Shree was embarrassed in joy. Days went by. After a year , somehow the topic about Sai came into picture . Mom came to know that Sai was living near by. She became furious and scolded Shree. Shree was upset and couldn't have her food. She kept on weeping. Mom said "These many years , Still you haven't changed. You never think of us and you are too selfish". Dad talked something to Mom . After an hour , Mom came near Shree and said "Though I scold you , I always have infinite love for you. I made up my mind. I decided to live for your desires and accept whatever happens. Nothing is important to me in this world except the happiness of my girls. So , wipe your tears and get ready. We will go temple and put a full stop for all the worries and unhappiness. We are all born to be happy" and left the room. Shree couldn't understand what was happening and couldn't  believe her eyes and ears. Dad came near  and whispered "Shree , Just jump and get ready. Can't you realize that you got a green signal for your patience. Enjoy every moment of your life" and continued "Also share this happiness with your man" and twinkled. Shree smiled through tears. The whole family was happy to the core. 

Are you sure it is not a dream 

The next day Sai came to know everything that had happened and was over joyed. Sai asked "Are you sure that it really happened or it is a dream ? Just think and tell". Shree smiled and said "Hey , I believed that my mom would definitely accept our love, But none of them believed. I know her". Sai smiled in joy. Sai hesitatingly said " I want to discuss about an important matter" . Shree asked "What is that ?". Sai said "I really don't know if you would believe or not?". Shree said "Can you tell what it is instead of giving a suspense". Sai said "About Akhila". Shree blinked and was curious about what Sai knows about Akhila.


And now I can hear you saying " Suspense ...What Sai is going to tell about Akhila? ". And I say "I know you are as curious as Shree to know what Sai going to say about her sister. All I say is Patience! Patience ! Till next Friday."
