PART 1

Its past evening and deep within the woods..a young girl..runs for her life as few men chase her. Those men have covered their head and faces with turban cloth and armed with sharp swords and want to take her life mercilessly..She could see a tent and a burning fire log few feet away from the tent...that light gave her some ray of hope ...but she reached there just to invite herself with a silence... She hopes someone is around for sure and calls for help... and unfortunately no body showed up to help her...and she runs further from there as far as she could until the time she reached the edge and couldn't run further and this is the end of the cliff.. She is Panting heavily whilst turning to look back and those men are nearing to her at a full speed...but still she considers this life as a blessing from her Babaji and shots a quick prayer with her teary eyes...Babaji...This life is a blessing by you. If I remember right, I have never harmed anyone or done anything wrong in my life...If its true, then, please save me... "BABAJI...PLEASE HELP ME. Just then, she hears a sound of a vehicle and it seems to come from a road that's not that far away from the shallow mountain cliff she is standing...and she saw a jeep passing... This was the only chance she could take to save her life...if at all possible...She scream out loud...HELP...

The person who is driving heard her voice and initially shrugs it off to be his imagination..but he hears it again...

HELP...PLEASE HELP...

He hears a girl's voice again...and he tries to trace the direction of the voice...and finally found a girl waving calling out for him...PLEASE HELP ME...and he saw someone shut her mouth from behind and carried her away...

Oh my goodness..this girl seems to be in danger...wonder what that man would do to her...she has called out for me and I must help her at any cost...

Incidentally its the same spot where he has set his tent...he had just left a while ago as he had to buy few key things as few of his camping friends would join him in an hour and they were about to have a get together...he had to arrange food and other necessities...But now, he is getting back to his tent...he knew the path to reach there thro jeep... he takes a U turn to reach out to this girl ASAP...hoping on hope that she is safe...

He parks his jeep near the tent and first he reaches the spot where that girl had called out for him and from there he moves around. His heart is throbbing against his chest as each and every sec passing by, he is not finding that girl... and in few seconds...he got to hear some movements and then he makes a smart move without making any sound and making that gang alert... and slowly he reached the spot and what he got to see has literally terrified him...the girl is on the floor and surrounded by few men who are masked and holding swords in their hands..He was seriously wondering what kind of bravery are they showcasing? These many men and attacking one woman with such harmful weapons?

One of the men take a lead and comes close to her... seems to be the team leader of the gang.

You made a big mistake...NO...A sin by running away like this... now I give you one chance and that's it..you are coming with me.

Veerji... (Brother)

The man who came to help her stands still hearing her adressing this team leader as "Veerji...so her own brother is planning to kill her? Are they trying follow a honor killing now? He makes a move ahead and whilst listening to their further talks..

Only Daarji would understand my pain...I will come back to home tomorrow morning...please trust me for once. But I will no way go back to that place as both men in that house lusts on me..please dont send me back there.

This so called team leader doesnt even allow her to talk further...his anger over takes him and he strikes the sword on her hand...

AAAH...The cut is deep and its really not bearable...

the person who is hiding a little away got to watch this...and clinches his fist... he increases his pace now...

You better come with me...I have to drop you back before daarji comes..

She is now determined to value her pride and self respect over her life...

Kill me...but I will not go back there..

His anger now over powers him and he takes his sword high to kill her this time..He was about to strike on her and his hand was pulled by a force and couldn't continue further...and not knowing what has happened...he looks at his hand...and finds a stranger who is holding on to it..

Who are you? What are you doing here?

He didnt care to owe an explanation.. Leave this girl..

You better care for your life and dare you get into this...

I said leave this girl..

This time, the team leader tries to attack this man with the sword in his hand...but that man twists this TL's hand and gives him one punch on his nose and simultaneously barges on the fellow men who started attacking him... and at one point, he hostages this TL and rests a sword on his throat and threatens the rest all men to throw their swords and other weapons...Once they do, he sets his hostage free taking away his turban.. and all of them run for their lives..

He hurriedly wraps all the weapons in the turban cloth and throws it away behind one of the dense bushes nearby...what if these goons make their return to the same spot to find their weapons and start attacking this girl as well as him?

Once done, his all focus is on this girl...She seems to be unconscious...he gently pats on her cheeks...

Excuse Me...

She slowly opens her eyes...for a moment she is terrified and her teary eyes got glued to this stranger ... he is not one among those men for sure but still she finds herself now at a mercy of a stranger

Are you ok?

His this question clears all her doubts...he is not here to harm her but help her...She could sence the genuine concern in his tone...That's it...She didnt know how to react and she gets up and hugs him tight.. she has no one whom she could trust or share her grief..He felt really odd.. he too didn't know how to react... but soon he too gave in to her hug positively and gently rubbing on her back assuring her that she is fine and safe...

and she once again drifts into unconscious state. He notices that she is severely wounded... he carries her towards his tent that's far away from this spot...

He carries her all the way to his tent and lies her down gently. He takes his First aid box which is a must to carry for him when ever he is camping...he cleans the wounds with cotton roll filled with dettol drops and then applies ointment..The wound in her hand needed seems to be deep...he again treats it and puts a band...just then he looks at her salwar pant covering her knee area is soaked in blood...he has no other choice...but he has to treat the wound underneath it...he lifts up the pant with his shivering hands..and treats the wound in a similar manner and and covers it with a band..just then she hugs him again in her subconscious state...please...dont send me back to that place..those monsters ...will...eat me alive..please..please..

He is really wondering what is this girl saying...where she doesn't want to go and whom she is referring to as monsters? She gains her conscious and slowly looks at him deep into his brown eyes...those eyes were also lost in her.. " she is so beautiful...innocent and pure.."

They are still glued to each other and could feel each others loud heart beats...Her eyes slowly starts giving him a terrified look...she scans herself in the position she is..and immediately moves away from him and cuddles in a corner..He could understand her state and gives her assurance that she is safe here.

Dhekho...darne ki koi zaroorat nahin hain...you are safe here...

Her hazels slowly scans the surrounding and finds no body else apart from him..he seems to be genuinely helping her..but still how far she can trust a stranger when she has lost trust on her own people?

He takes few step and again she moves away from him and cuddles herself...he could understand her vulnerable condition. To make her feel comfortable, he gets her a glass of water...She really needed it as her body drained off its energy in every drop of sweat while she was running for her life...she doesn't think much and grabs and drinks in one go...

Do you need some more?

She nods for a NO...she still has doubts on this stranger and she is now staring back at him with anticipation of his next move.

Trust me..you are safe here...

She is really wondering...did this stranger really manage to beat up her cousin brother and his gang of goons who practice violence in name of religion, culture and customs? No body could even dare to pass by them..and he has beaten them up all single handedly? ..She slowly gets up and walks few steps and peeps outside the tent to reconfirm that there none of those goons are around..she again scans at this stranger and her heart votes her to trust him...She takes a sigh and walks back into the tent...and just then, she notices ointment on her wounds and a band on her knee...

She doesnt know how to thank him..but she has to...

Ji..Woh..Thank You so much..

He really wonders...She seems to have pretty decent English accent compared to many girls he has come across in this region. Must be well educated...

Its Alright.. Actually, after you voiced out for me from this cliff, I was worried if I could make it on time here...but I made it..

Geet again looks up and thanks her babaji..now, she is clear that her babaji is always there by her side and that's how she got this stranger's help.

But dont take them lightly, You dont know about those goons...they can go to any extent...I am really worried if they come back..

Trust me..they will not dare to..and I am fully prepared to face them even if they come back... He takes the fully loaded gun..and keeps it with him in case he needs further protection..

She gasps and her eyes widens in shock looking at it... and a smile touches his lips looking at her reactions.. He recalls he never smiled in his recent past...

She notices that he too has some wounds on his hand... she doesnt think twice nad pulls him to sit down.. making him wonder what is she up to...

What are you doing?

You see..even you got hurt..

Its ok...I am used to these wounds..

She glares at him for a moment and continues to do what she has decided...She found the first aid box and she slowly treated his wounds..and applied ointment..

That's it...done...

She doesnt talk further over it...He looks back at her and lost..he is getting drawn in a very strange feeling... After being cheated by a woman with whom he seemed to be madly in love, he never gave into these thoughts and feelings again but wonder what's happening to him today? as if some unknown connection with this girl...But his own past doesn't permit him to give importance to such useless feelings. He is glad that he could save someone's life and dignity and he is strictly forcing himself to maintain the limits.

Thank You he doesnt appreciate anyone so easily and here, he couldnt hold on to himself to thank her...Seriously wondering what's happening to him. Also he wants to help her with which ever way possible..

I think I better leave now...

What? Are you crazy?

Dhekhiye...I have already troubled you enough..

Will you shut up?

His tone had pitched high and She stares back at him with a startled look

Where will you go at this point of time? Its not going to be safe for you.

But.. she tries to protest and he stops her instantly.

I know you are not comfortable here but think about your safety first...those goons would never come to this spot but they might be keeping a watch on the path.

She is lost in her deep thoughts and definitely doesn't seem to be convinced.

Be rest assured that I will drop you back in the morning..where ever you want me to drop you.

Her daarji will be back by morning and her cousin brother will take a lead in poisoning Daarji's mind and brain...She is really confused... She is neither able to accept or deny to continue to stay back here...but its very true that she feels protected in this place and with a stranger's presence..she is forced to choose over a stranger than the people who are known to her ever since she has lived her life..Really feeling weird with the situation she has got into...but why she has began liking his company?

She came out of her engrossed thoughts when he called out for her again...he gives her a set of track pant and T-Shirt. She looks back at him confusingly..I guess you need a change...sorry...this is all what I have.

She looks at herself and YES...she definitely need a change...her dress is either torn here and there and stained with mud or blood. She quietly takes it and changes after refreshing herself..

Just then, he gets a call from one of his camping friend..

Hie...where have you set the camp?

He completely forgot that his friends are on the way...But now, he doesn't want them to come over here and as this girl is already terrified and fears her condition if she gets to see this many strangers...also, somewhere deep he feels possessive as if no one else should be here..only him and her...but he is in state of self denial due to his past.

Hey Listen...Rajat...I got a call from home..I am packing back all my stuff and leaving right away...Sorry guys..will make it some other time...

Rajat feels very odd listening to him as he has never called off any of the previous camping programs.

Is everything fine?

Hmm..yes...nothing to worry. Once again sorry.

Hey...dont feel sorry for all this? There's no problem what so ever. I am also carrying all my camping equipments and tools with me..so, me and my friends will set the camp in some other location. So, no issues yaar..you carry on and will catch up some other time..

Thats cool..so, enjoy and will see ya next time. Bye..

She happen to hear all this and appreciates his kind gestures within...also feels sorry for spoiling his program

He happens to turn and lost in her..even with this simple track pant and shirt..she looks "se*y and attractive...Her curves appears even more prominent...and her hair let loose now... he is drawn to her unknown to himself...

She caught him looking at her and she turns away...That's when he realises that he had been gaping at her and he snaps away and waks himself within thinking about the words he is describing her with...

Few moments passed...the night was getting chiller... but he is used to it...he changes into track pants and black tank tops and got busy preparing for some ready to make soups and noodles...

She was sitting little away from the fire log covering herself with a blanket which he gave her a while ago. She is all lost in her deep thoughts about where to go and what to do further..She has no clue for what will happen even in the next moment...and her thoughts distracted he called out for her and she looked at him...without her own knowledge she lost in him seeing him in his track pants and tank tops..she gulps..goes breathless seeing his well toned muscles and abs ..

She was lost in a stand still moment where she got to glance his clear and pure handsome features.. His close proximity is sending some unknown shivers down into her...She came out of her trance when he called out for her again and that's when she got to notice the hot mug in his hand..

Please have a hot cup of soup...you will feel better.

Thank You

Naturally, a dimply smile touches her lips while addressing his kind gesture and takes it without any hesitation as she has been really hungry...

This was the first time he got to witness her beautiful smile..he takes his hot mug of soup and sits little away... but invariably he was all the time glaring at her.. She was glowing even more under the fire...Moreover, she seem to be far far relaxed now.

May I know your name?

He is curious to know... and to that matter even she is equally curious to know more about him.

I'm Geet...

She was about to add her surname but withheld for so many reasons...He could sense that.and she shoot the same question back to him..

And Your name?

I'm Maan..

He too didnt mention his second and sur name..as he preferred to keep it as simple as she did.

Both complement each other's names within their thoughts thinking to be a "Sweet Name"

But obviously not voicing it out..

(Author's note: So, finally, they know each other's name...so lets address their dialogues tagging their respective names hence forth... but wait till next chapter 😉 )

TO BE CONTINUED...😊
