Dhanush and Lata were following behind the bandit boss. They tried to be as silent as they could be. The Bandit boss and another bandit were slowly treading towards the village. They were cautious, with lowered head crouching just 50 meters from Dhanush. Dhanush too tried to keep his distance while thinking hard of the ways he could stop them from their heist. The dangerous looking new guy was far ahead from the Bandit boss, probably he would be the one doing all the coercing or use of the force. They were scared of him but had to do something about it too. They were the only one who could stop them as they knew their plan.
"Lata, do you have anything with you in your bag. Something that can use as a trap or weapon?" Dhanush asked as he was tracking the big guy's movements. The big guy 'Kalu' as they have heard, was almost near village gate.
"I have a rope with me, a whistle, some pebbles and some cloths, I think." Lata said meekly.
"Alright, we have to make use of them." Dhanush whispered.
Kalu had reached the gate and was hiding behind it. Soon the Boss and second bandit joined him. Dhanush and Lata decided to hide behind the tree and look for their activity. They saw two women chatting near the chaupal. One was their friend sekhar's mom and other one was Lochan's. The bandit boss said something to Kalu and he went near the women.
Dhanush as afraid as he saw them arguing and Kalu hit Lochan's mom. The women were crying as he ordered them something. Dhanush knew the urgency but couldn't find a way to help as they were too big for him to fight. As he was looking at the situation with horror, the women started to walk towards the direction of village's storehouse.
Lata had tears in her eyes and she was praying hard. They needed to do something but what? As they were pondering their options, they saw the bandit boss started to walk inside the village. Dhanush decided to take action and asked Lata for the whistle. They were cornered and needed to distract the bandits. Just when Dhanush tried to blow the whistle, he heard the familiar clinking sound from the bells. It came as a big hope for them, it was Godhuli times in the evening. That is, the time for the cows to return home. They were tended by the cowherd, another help.
" I think I know what I can do. It's time to take action. Be ready Lata. " Dhanush said with a confident voice.
Lata opened her bag to bring out the materials for their fight while Dhanush waited for the right opportunity. It's came sooner than expected, as the cowherd Ranjit stopped Bandit boss from entering village and he started questioning them.
