Chapter 14
Karadiammavan and Kittukurangan slowly step towards the Theankunnu, where the inevitable threat lies. Karadiammavan reassure himself by paying attention at the prize. For every risk we take, there is a prize. Here it is his favorite food, honey. He looks at Kittukurangan's face, while they are walking. His face has become pale and he is sweating a lot.
Now they have walked some distance from the warning board at the entrance. Still their is no sign of any attack. May be it's a trap. They can see huge trees where the honey comb and the wasp hive swing on the branches like fruits. Karadiammavan stops near a small Jackfruit tree. On the tree there is huge honey comb of the size of jackfruit. Karadiammavan looks at Kittukurangan and pointed his finger towards the honey comb.
Suddenly Kittukurangan jumped to the tree and starts climbing. He can hear his heart beating, but still he climbs up and pluck the honey comb and throw it towards Karadiammavan. Suddenly they can hear the humming sound of bees and wasp.
Kittukurangan climbed down the tree as if he is falling. He cried loud "Oh, they are coming....." Karadiammavan said "Run...run..."
They can see a clouds of bees and wasp coming towards them. At the same time ants are forming a wall at the exit. Karadiammavan understood that they are trapped. They are surrounded by a huge army. He is now regretting his decision to come there. "What will I do?" He starts asking himself and nothing is coming to his mind.
"Open the Uuch petti....open it now..." Kittukuarangan is crying. He is being attacked by a group of wasp and ants. And Karadiammavan see a group of bees and wasp is approaching towards him.
Karadiammavan suddenly returned to his consciousness and opened the Uuch petti after putting the mask. Now he can see the bees and wasps falling from the sky, it is like a huge rain. Kittukurangan also become unconscious. Karadiammvan take Kittukurangan and honeycomb and starts walking. He can see wall that made by the ants is now falling apart. He slowly walked over them, without hurting them. While leaving the Theankunnu, he looked at the warning board and said "Sweet dreams..."
