How did Ramchandra Patil and Bala Shimpi react to Baba's prophecy about Tatya's death?

Ramchandra Patil and Bala Shimpi were deeply anxious about Baba's prophecy. Chapter 42 narrates that after Baba told Ramchandra that Tatya would die on a specific Vijayadashami, Ramchandra held this information in secret, knowing Baba's words were "as if etched in stone." He only confided in Bala Shimpi, and both were gripped by worry as the prophesied date drew near. When Tatya fell ill exactly as the time approached, their anxiety intensified. On the final day, seeing Tatya's pulse weaken, they were convinced Baba's words were coming true and believed the signs were not good. Their reaction was one of fearful anticipation and belief in the infallibility of Baba's words, though they could not foresee the ultimate outcome.
