Sikharpur days ( Bandit attack-6)

The big burly guy was hidden in the leaves. It looked like the branch will not carry his weights but he was still there, couching with his toes on the tip of a thin branch, while he was holding another branch overhead. Dhanush was taken aback by his presence. He had a strong evil aura around him.

" We must hide somewhere." Lata whispered into Dhanush's ear. She was surprisingly calm or may be showing a strong front after Parvati went away.
"I understand.' affirmed Dhanush as he search for a place to hide themselves.

He soon found a bush nearby where they could easily conceal themselves. They silently watched the boss while having a lookout for his accomplice, about whom, Parvati informed. Soon they found this thin guy coming from the direction of village.

" Why it took you so much time?" the boss growled at him.
" Sardar, there was a situation, some villagers saw me." he replied in meek voice.
"Did you got the information we needed." Boss asked again.
" Yes, we can proceed as we planned. Most men are out in the fields. I discovered their storehouse too." he answered proudly.

" Ha ha, now we can start the hunt. Wonder how much we will get today. Kalu, come, you have a job to do. Bring the village leader and women as hostages." Boss laughed and called someone from behind.

Dhanush didn't believe his eyes, as a much taller, burly guy came from behind. He might have been hiding but how could Parvati missed him! The village was in danger.

" We need to do something. Papa in danger, and others too." Lata started to panick as they saw the shadow of bandits leaving towards the village.
" I know, I know." Dhanush was dumbfounded. Till now, he thought they had the upperhand as they knew about their plan. The traps they set but it's irrelevant against those guys who were moving slowly towards their village.

"Don't worry Lata, I will think of a way." Dhanush tried to assure Lata. He thought hard as he was the leader and everyone's life depended on him.


" Now, we know that we have taken care of their back up accomplishes. We have to trust Parvati, Sambhu and Lochan for the bandits near the field.' Dhanush said in a serious voice, ' that would leave these thee and we have to stop them by ourselves."

" Then that's what we will do." Lata said as she pulled Dhanush hand.
" Yes, that's what we needed to do." Dhanush agreed as they moved slowly behind the bandit boss.
