(Spotlight on. Anant and the Monk appear together.)
Monk: Satya saved us in the previous episode, but we still refuse to listen to her voice — the voice of conscience.
Anant: I already warned you — change and prevent, else there will be a positive check.
Child: (emerges from the heart of the Monk) Let's see what Shree and Satya are talking about.
(Curtain on)
Shree (to Satya): I already told you about them.
Satya (disappointedly): I thought I could change them, but they hardly listen to me.
(Shakti appears again, out of the heart of Satya.)
Shakti (to Satya): Don't be disappointed. You tried. Let them face the consequences now.
Satya: They are ignorant. They don't know what they are doing.
Shree (in disdain): No, they are not. They know everything. Actually, they are greedy and self-centric.
Shakti (turning into a storm): No, they have to pay for it.
(Thereafter, wind starts blowing and dark clouds cover the sky.)
Satya (talking to herself): There are many innocent people too.
(Monk reappears along with Anant, trying to save the innocent people. Anant takes the form of a strong, muscular man and Monk becomes an old, wise man.)
Satya (smiling): They will save them.
Shree: Where is the child?
Satya: He is there as Drashta — the Witness.
(Shree disappears after listening to it.)
Satya: Shree... Shree... Where are you?
(There is great commotion created by Nature. All the houses, schools, colleges are full of water. People are being rescued by volunteers and farmers have faced a big loss. Some of them even died while saving others, and Satya is watching all this from a distance.)
Shakti (appearing in front of Satya): Now they will understand why nature and wildlife should be preserved.
(Satya remains quiet, saying nothing.)
Shree: (reappears) They get what they deserve.
(That evening is beautiful. The air is cool. No pollution, no noise — just a surreal silence and a blissful sunset. It seems as if Shakti is smiling.)
Shakti (appearing again in a different form half Varaha and half Shakti): Every living creature has equal right to live. Humans need to understand this.
(Curtain close.)
