Bondita's POV:-
"Bachao! Bachao! Vo log maar denge mujhe" I heard someone shout and followed the source of sound. The voice was becoming weak with every passing second. It felt like the person was slowly getting unconscious. I increased my speed, when the voice faded away.
"Koi hai yaha pe? " I yelled and waited for a reply, which I didn't get. Thinking to search somewhere else, I turned back, but something inside me was forcing me to stay. As if someone can see me and was trying to stop me. Unable to process anything, I left everything on my body. Again facing the same direction as before, I started stepping towards the front.
Something rolled down near my leg and I bent to pick it up. A bangle? I looked in the direction from where it came and saw a girl, seemed like 15-16 years old, lying half-unconscious on the ground. For a moment my mind went off and I didn't know what to do. Obviously, you won't everyday see someone going unconscious in front of you. As soon as my mind came out from it's black world, I hurriedly went towards the girl and kept her head in my lap.
"Ky-Kya huya tumhe? " I patted her cheek.
"M-Muj... Mujhe... Bacha... Bacha lo.... Vo l-log... m-maar denge...... mujhe" She said with great difficulty and closed her eyes.
"Maar denge? Kon maar dega? Aankhe kholo beta! " I tried to wake her up, but she didn't respond. I was blank! I didn't know what to do and what not to. I checked her pulses and breath. She is just unconscious!
"Dhoondho uss ladki ko!! " Someone screamed and I looked back. Some villagers were approaching towards us, with sticks in their hand. They were constantly shouting for searching a girl.
'Vo log maar denge mujhe'
Her words rang in my ears, and that's when it hit me. She was talking about those villagers!
"Vaha hai vo ladki! " A man shouted and everyone's attention shifted towards the innocent soul in my lap, while I tried to protect her. The head of the crowd signalled something to two women, who nodded and approached towards me.
"Nahi! Dur raho iss ladki se! " I yelled at them.
"Dekho! Humare maamle main mat pado aur ye ladki hume de do! Iska marna hi sahi hai" One in pink saree said.
"Aap hoti kon hai ye tay karne wali ki kon marega aur kon jiyega! "
"Aee ladki! " The head screamed. "Pati mar gaya hai iska" He pointed towards the girl. "Isliye iska marna bhi zaruri hai"
"Pati mar gaya toh usme iss ladki ki kya galti" I argued.
"Galti hai! Galti hai iski kyuki ye apne pati ko nahi bacha paayi" An old woman shouted.
