Chapter 36 - "Dheeran is my son."

Dheeran had come there to resolve the problems he was facing abroad. Once all the problems were resolved, Mullai called him. This confused him.

Initially, upon seeing the phone number, he started getting angry at Bhadran. "I told you to handle it by saying something, but you made her call me like this? I'll deal with you when I get home," he muttered to himself, while outwardly, he spoke softly and gently to Mullai, "Mom... I'll be home tonight. Don't worry." Seeing this, all the partners present looked at him as if he were a wonder of the world.

Since this was familiar to Yukesh, he watched calmly. "Dheeran, come home as you said, otherwise you know what this mother will do, right?" Mullai warned him before hanging up. Dheeran, who feared no one, was now afraid of his mother's threat.

Dheeran stared at the phone for a minute, then looked up at the partners who were still watching him, and simply said, "Okay, let's finish the meeting," before quickly heading to his office room.

Yukesh followed him and entered the room. Dheeran was urgently typing something on the computer, and without looking up at Yukesh, he said, "Yukesh, I need to leave for India soon. You take care of all the company work. I'll update you on what needs to be done from there." Just as Dheeran finished speaking, Yukesh's assistant opened the door and brought in lunch.

"Dheeran, you haven't eaten since morning, come and eat," Yukesh said, giving him a plate of rice. Dheeran accepted it without any objection and ate. Then, when Yukesh softly asked, "Theera, what's the problem? Won't you even tell me now?", Theeran looked up at him and instead of answering his question, asked something else, "Yukesh, shall we go to that Bhoopalan's house? Because once I decide on something, I have to finish it completely. If I leave it halfway, it will only cause problems for us."

From that, Yukesh understood that Theeran wouldn't open up and tell him. Immediately, he dropped the subject and said, "Theera, that's what I was thinking too. Let's eat and then leave." Theeran nodded his head in agreement.

At the same time, in a large mansion, Bhoopalan was shouting at someone on the phone. "Damn! Everything is gone. Because I listened to your advice, that brat has completely kicked me out. Do you know how much profit I got from that company? Now everything is gone," he was complaining to someone on the phone.

Hearing his lament, the person on the other end said, "Dad, leave it. He will only be alive for a little while longer. I've received orders from above to kill him. Since we couldn't kill him in India, we killed Thomas and made him come here. Don't be tense, I'll take care of it," said Bhoopalan's son, Saleem, and hung up the phone.

Bhoopalan thought to himself, "Theera, I won't let you get away with this." Just then, a security guard came in and said, "Sir, a young boy has come to see you. He said his name is Theeran." A shock spread through Bhoopalan.

"Hey, what are you saying? Him? Why has he come to see me?" he thought to himself, and then told the security guard, "Okay, let him in." A few seconds later, Theeran entered like a prince.

His gaze was so intense it seemed as if it could cut down the person standing opposite him. Poobalan looked at him and asked, "What, Theeran, you've come to see me? What a surprise!" As soon as he asked this, Theeran replied, "Didn't you, Grandpa, make me come here? Okay, tell me, why did you kill Thomas?" At Theeran's question, Poobalan's face changed.

In a slightly nervous voice, he said, "Theeran, you're misunderstanding. I didn't kill him." Interrupting him, Theeran said, "Not you, Grandpa, your son Saleem killed him. I know that very well." Poobalan didn't know what to say.

As he remained silent, Theeran said to him, "Okay, Grandpa, tell me where your son is? I'll let you live." Hearing this, Poobalan said, "What, Theeran, are you threatening me? You're just a little brat, and you come to my place and threaten me? Do whatever you can. Now get out of here." At this, Theeran glared at him with murderous intent.

In an instant, he took out a gun and aimed it at his forehead. The sight of the black gun shocked him, making his nerves tremble. "What, Theeran? Are you going to kill me? If anything happens to me, my son won't leave you alone," he said, trembling.

Theeran replied, "I'll take care of all that. I'm also waiting for your son. I'll send him to join you soon," and Theeran aimed at his chest and fired. He cried out, "Ah..." and clutched the bleeding wound in pain.

He stumbled and fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly shot by Theeran, he crawled on the ground, grabbed the gun from the table, and pointed it at Theeran, saying, "Die, you bastard!" Just as he was about to shoot, a heavy blow landed on his head. Disoriented, his eyes rolled back as he looked to see who had struck him.

Upon seeing Yukesh standing there with a small flower vase in his hand, Bhoopalan's face turned pale with fear. "You... you, Yukesh, are you also with him?" he asked in shock.

Yukesh replied, "Yes, sir. Who did you think Theeran was? He's my son. You know that too. If something happens to him, do you think I'll just stand by and watch?" His eyes swirled with bloodshot fury.

"Okay, tell me, why did your son kill Thomas?" When he asked this, Bhoopalan repeated, "No, I don't know." Angered by this, Yukesh said, "Alright, sir, you want to die, and we'll fulfill that wish for you," and struck him on the head again with the flower vase. With a gasp, he breathed his last and fell to the ground.

Throwing the vase away, Yukesh approached Theeran and said, "Theera, I have a feeling there's some other big problem involved in this." Theeran didn't reply, but removed the gloves he was wearing and gave them to his men.

He further added, "Yukesh, we can handle any problem, but we shouldn't forgive and let go of people like him who betray us from within. We must eliminate them completely," and without looking back, he left.

Yukesh gestured to his men and followed Theeran, getting into the car with him. The car headed straight to the airport. Yugesh looked at Theeran and said, "Theera, find out where that Salim is, I'll finish him off myself. You don't have to worry about him."

Theeran replied, "Okay, I'll leave that responsibility to you." Yugesh then asked, "Theera, I need to ask you something. At the meeting, you said Bhadran was your father, who is he? I remember you telling me that you only have a mother, and no father?" A slight hint of sadness was evident in Yugesh's voice.

Sensing this, Theeran said, "Yugesh uncle, what I told you was true. But it's not like that anymore. The very day my mother and I went to India..." He then proceeded to explain everything in detail, starting with Karthik's problem and the death of his grandparents.

He also explained in detail the circumstances under which Bhadran tied the sacred thread around his mother's neck. Yugesh looked on in shock as he listened. Theeran continued, "Yugesh uncle, I know how much affection you have for me. Just like you, I also have a lot of affection for you. To put it simply, I see you as I see my own mother." As soon as Theeran said this, Yugesh hugged him.

Yugesh didn't know what kind of feeling this was. Theeran had extended a rope of love and pulled him in, a man who had been roaming this business world like a monster.

Theeran was the one who entered the heart of this man who lived like an orphan, without parents or any other relatives, merely fulfilling his duties. He came like spring, saying, "I am here." He was a monstrous man, yet a child yearning for the call of "father."

He would do anything for Theeran; he would even give his life if needed. That's how much affection he had for Theeran. The car stopped at the airport, and both of them got out and went inside. "Yugesh, take care and be safe. I'll call you as soon as I get there. Don't drink too much just because I'm not around. I'll be getting updates on your every activity minute by minute. So, behave yourself," Theeran said before boarding the plane.

Yugesh watched him go with a sense of longing. At that moment, Theeran appeared as a father and Yugesh as a son. As soon as Theeran left, Yugesh's first task was to find out who this Bhadran was.

Meanwhile, in India, Bhadran was struggling to answer Mullai's questions. "Sir, tell me, where has Theeran gone? He's just a young boy, sir, how did he go alone?" Mullai must have asked this question more than a hundred times. And each time, Bhadran struggled to answer.

When Mullai and Vaishnavi asked him in the morning, Bhadran had said, "He left saying he had some urgent work, and he told me to tell you that he would be back by night." Even then, both of them looked at him suspiciously.
