Now Baskar closed his eyes and began to ponder over the young man and his vatic pronouncement.
“Who is he? What’s his name? What makes him utter such vatic pronouncement? How did he know I’m going to attend the marriage function? How did he know the name of the co-traveller? How did he predict that his daughter, Kanmani is going to meet an imminent danger? Is he an accomplice? How did he know that her jilted lover had a plan to immolate his daughter? The sub-Inspector believed in his words and he warned his family about the imminent danger. So Veerapondy had known that his daughter jilted him. Above all, the young man disappeared all of a sudden? Did he actually miss the train or he intentionally left the train?
The bullet train picked up speed.
Baskar was pondering over the strange events that occurred during his travel to Madurai. Suddenly he heard some words in connection with his doubts. He felt some one whispering into his ears.
He engrossed to that enigmatic phenomenon.
“I’m a clairvoyant, Mr. Baskar.. As you are very eager to know my name, I would like to say something about me. I am Baskar wandering over all the places according to the instructions given by my Guru. Your father, Sivasankar is director of export and Import Company. You are going to marry a charming girl namely, Shyamala, daughter of Santhanam who is a rich landlord and his wife, Baghyam is also looking after their farm. Veerapondy, a sub-Inspector of Police, is a corrupted fellow, cheated many innocent people and now he is going to reap the consequences. Before Veerapondy will reach, his daughter Kanmani will be immolated. It’s her fate. But don’t reveal this secret to anyone. Moreover, don’t neglect Shyamala. She is your mascot. I will inspire you afterwards. Bye.”
