Suffered in silence ~~ Legend of Sumitranandans

Raghunandan- Maithilli (Part 2)

All 7 of them sat in a circle with 2 stones each in their hands. There were a few logs of wood in between them, and they were all trying their level best to light a fire, but it seemed almost impossible to do so, all credits to the wet logs of wood, and moisture in the stones. It has been 8 hours since they were away from the ashram, and Shatrughan new his Ram bhaiyya would certainly be...... Worried will be an understatement. Ram might be having a panic attack right now!!!

"IT HAS CAUGHT FIRE!!!" Sita screamed, quickly lighting the logs of wood. Urmila smiled. Sita had that ability, of course. She was the daughter of Mata Vasundhara herself, and thus shared a deep bond with the nature and its elements, almost as if they obey her.

The fire dried up Lakshman's tears. No, he wasnt scared, he was just...... Worried. There, he said it. He was worried for Ram bhaiyya, as he knew that by now, Ram bhaiyya must be in pieces. His bhaiyya was the most Sensitive out of the 4, even though Ram claimed that it was Lakshman who was the most Sensitive out of the four, Lakshman knew that Ram had a highly innocent heart, which easily broke if it was ANYTHING related to his family, his brothers especially. 

"Dont think about that now, Laksh...... I know Ram bhaiyya must be worried, but right now we must think of how to reach there. And the demons might attack anytime, we are almost weaponless." Bharat said, with a hand on Lakshman's shoulder, Reading his thoughts.

Sita smiled. These brothers shared the same bond like them Sisters. 

(I am like- Oh, Sita maam, dont conclude now, just meet their eldest brother, and then you can admire their bond as much as you want, XD)

"But I dont think you will find any demons in such a weathering storm, Bharat" Mandavi said. 

"No Mandavi. Demons can be anywhere, in any form. We HAVE to be alert." Bharat said, warning all of them

"Pch..... Alert hoke bhi kya Ukhad lenge Bhaiyya? We are weaponless." Shatrughan said, rolling his eyes, frustration taking over him.

"Language, Shatru....." Bharat scolded gently, eyeing the girls

"Thats fine Bharat. We have 2 daggers, Shatrughan, and moreover, In case a demon approaches, we NEED to protect ourselves, there is no other way out of this mess...." Sita said dejectedly, to which everyone else nodded.

"So, here is the plan." Lakshman started to explain the plan to get out of there.

**********

Therefore it was decided. They stepped out of the cave with a lot of caution. They would walk till the water was above waist level, and when they feel that it is impossible to walk ahead, they will move a bit back, make a boat, and reach the ashram in it. It seemed simple, but was quite a tough job.

They heard a growl. A Very loud growl. The boys winced, this is what they had feared. Then appeared a large figure, at least 4 times the height of the 16 year old boys. It was a rakshasa, a Very dangerous looking one. It growled again, startling the girls.

"BHARAT, SHATRU, TAKE THE GIRLS TO A SAFE PLACE!!!" Lakshman screamed, escaping the attack of the monster, who tried to grab the elder saumitra for his dinner.

"No way I am gonna leave you alone!!!" Bharat exclaimed, standing in front of the princesses protectively.

"God, bharat please understand.... If we all leave from here, the monster will follow us..... You guys leave and I'll keep this bastard engaged." Lakshman said, stabbing the demon's toes with his dagger.

"WE ARE NOT WEAKLINGS!!! WE CAN FIGHT!!" Urmila screamed

"Of course Urmila didi, but the thing is, you are still learning, and not polished and prepared yet. Please let us handle this.." Shatrughan explained patiently, to which all of them nodded.
