उत्तर
The current chapter concludes with Mahendra’s decision to leave the haunting place. However, that is not the appropriate finish. Mahendra should not have decided to leave the haunted house without learning the truth. The narrative could conclude like this: Mahendra bravely approached the woman and took the time to learn the truth. As soon as Mahendra captured the woman, the secret was revealed. It was none other than Iswaran dressed as a ghostly woman.

“Look, look; see for yourself !”The children pressed to each other like so many roses, so many weeds, intermixed, peering out for a look at the hidden sun. It rained. It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.
