But still a linger of sadness remained in the heart of Mayilsamy which Balaji noticed very well through the face of his uncle because both of them have remained very close to each other.
You can say that through thick and thin both Balaji and Mayilsamy are stayed together and even in the political journey of Balaji.
They both have planned and done many things which benefitted Balaji in climbing the higher ladders in his political career.
So both of them can understand each other very well and now seeing his uncle sad Balaji also became curious about it.
Leaning forward while still being on his seat Balaji looked forward and glanced at his uncle who is sitting on the seat next to the driver.
Then he moved his hand and put it on the shoulder of his uncle and asked him, "The sadness that is in your eyes are not something that pleases me. So now tell me what is it that is saddening you uncle ?"
While Balaji spoke these words a very faint blue color light came out of his hand that entered into the body of Mayilsamy.
Once the blue color light fully entered inside his body Mayilsamy felt a very pleasing and soothing feeling in his heart.
A sense of ease took over the heart of Mayilsamy that made him feel happy and the lingering sadness vanished from his heart.
But still he felt that he needs to share the sadness that was in his heart just a second earlier that has now vanished mysteriously and hence he said, "I was sad because of the incident earlier. For a second I thought I had lost you even if I knew that you had that bulletproof vest on you. But that sense of political horror that can take away life any moment just flashed before my eyes and so I became sad feeling that I might loose you."
This concern of Mayilsamy brought a small chuckle on the face of his nephew Balaji and caressing the shoulder of his uncle replied, "We all know how much of dirty and dangerous politics. Anyone in this political world is ready silence his enemy at any moment. But the most fortunate thing that has happened earlier was that the bullet was fired by someone who truly cares for the state. But even still this state is in a mess and now we have to decide if we will change the tides and or just go with the flow from here on."
Mayilsamy took these words of his nephew as a great sign for the joyful and lavish future that is awaiting them.
But Priya who is also present in the same car became very much intrigued by these words of Balaji as she began to ponder what plans Balaji has made for the future of both his and the state.
As Balaji leaned back on his seat he gave a small glance to Priya and understood that she is thinking about something but he didn't mind in asking her and soon he moved his eyes and fingers onto the hole made on his shirt by the bullet.
As he looked onto that hole he began to remember something that something which has now changed his life forever.
The Past That Changed Everything
When Balaji was on the podium and reciting his oath the sniper shot him in his heart that made him fall backwards after sending him flying for a little distance.
The people and the police guards who were there around him caught from falling down and started to check if he is perfectly fine or not.
And to their surprise they all saw Balaji opened his eyes but at that exact moment something mystical yet strange happened that shocked Balaji to his core.
When he opened his eyes he talked about the bulletproof vest but he didn't got any response from the people that are holding him.
All he found some expression of shock on the faces of all of those people and after that he called all of those people for a quite sometimes but he still didn't get any response from them.
So he immediately stood up on his own and looked at the people present in the auditorium including Mayilsamy and Priya Anand.
The same thing he witnessed with them as well. They all have been frozen by time in their own place.
And this became evident when Balaji saw the watch hanging on one of the walls of the auditorium have also stopped and he even found his own watch has stopped from working as well.
At that time not only thr people present in the auditorium but all of the people who were watching this ceremony through the cameras have been froze as well.
