Suta's Samragini

Chapter 11

With this Rudra started his journey towards Sindh border.

NEAR SINDH BORDER AT SAGE STHULAKESH' ASHRAM

A deep burning desire has ignited in the heart of an individual. Succumbing to his carnal desire of having her he devised a plan. According to this plan he will win either way.

So to trap the innocent girl Chandralekha. He called out and said maharshi wants a specific flower for his pooja but the problem is that flowers grows only near the pond which is quite distant. He himself would have brought the flowers but his presence is required somewhere else. So if she could go instead of him. Chandralekha agreed immediately unaware of crooked plan hatching in his mind. She readied herself as her father eas out with his mitra for some work. So she set off.

Bhadra smirked and remarked go go Chandra. It's just a matter of time before you will be mine. Your heavenly beauty will be mine to taste. I will indulge in ever lasting lovemaking. I will perform every art of lovemaking to you. He started daydreaming of his lustful act. But soon he came back to reality. And followed her stealthily.

Soon Chandralekha reached near the pond and started collecting the flowers required for her father's pooja.

As she was busy collecting the flowers a pair of sinister eyes watched her with lust filled gaze. He was disrobing her in his imagination and with that cruel intention he moved forward and went near her.

And put his one hand on her right shoulder from behind.She was startled at this gesture so she turned around and got shocked as she saw Bhadra standing there with a crooked smile and lust could be seen dancing mirth in his eyes.

She asked even though sensing his intention- you were supposed to go with my father. But tou are here may i know the reason?

Bhadra- while coming nearer to her  replied with a smug  - yes i was supposed to go with tour father but then i got distracted by your thought. I got lost in the thought of your beauty. So i tuened back and straight away i came following you. I have come here ro propose you of my love. I am attracted to you since the day i saw you first. My heart has always desired of you. Please accept my proposal and marry me.

He was dangerously close to her and was making her uncomfortable. She teied to shrug him off as politely as she could by replying - Bhadra i have never seen you as my partner and i am really sorry i cannot accept your love proposal. I am interested in marrying you. I have different goals in my life. My destination is somewhere else.

Now if you could be a at safe distance as your presence so near to me is not to my liking . You are making me uncomfortable.

Bhadra' s expression changedfrom lust to anger on hearing her reply. He retorted- I am making you uncomfortable. My presence near you is making you uncomfortable. So you don't know what it is being uncomfortable.

Saying that he clutched her hand tightly and pulled her towards him.

He said - today i am going ro claim you whether it involves your wish or not it is upto you. Because after i am done with you you will have only one choice that is to accept me as your husband because noone is going to accept a girl who is touched by another man.

He pushed her to the ground and she winced in pain. Bhadra started laughing hysterically. He blabbered today i am going to fulfil my darkest ambition . I am going to have a taste of your beauty. He flashed his tongue out of his mouth.

Chandralekha tried to warn him by saying - keep away from him. You don't know me. I am a fire if you try to touch me you will get burnt. My father' s curse will destroy you. I am warning you for the last time.

Bhadra- If you are fire and i am ready to burn in the bliss of this fire and gour father can't curse the only man who can save her daughter's honour in front of this whole society. After i force myself upon you.
So you see nothing will happen to me. No one will come ro save you . Scream as much as you want.

As he neared her Chandralekha screamed for help and she tried to get up and run but her uttariya was caught by bhadra and using it he tried to pull her but she left the uttariya and ran. But bhadra threw the uttariya and followed her.

Soon Chandralekha was running as fast as she could  she went deeper into the forest. After some time her legs gave up and she was about  to fall when a sturdy hands caught her by her waist and saved her from falling.

Her eyes locked with the most handsome face she has ever seen in her life. Her eyes locked with the tawney eyes of that person. For her the time seemed to stop all the fear and pain seemed to vanish with the mere presence of that handsome man.

They were lost in each other's eyes when that eye lock moment was broked by a cacaphonous voice.

Hey you stay away from her. She is mine. I have claimed her threatened bhadra.

No this man is trying to misbehave with me . Please save me pleaded Chandralekha desperately.

Man- you see you are saying that you have claimed this woman but she is running from you. This only means that she is not interested in you. So my friend you need to back off.

Bhadra taking out a dagger and in a threatening voice said - who are you to order me. I have decided that she is mine. So she is mine whether she likes it or not. Her wish doesn't matter. It will be good for you if you get out from here flashing his dagger.

Man - with a fearful voice said no need to threaten me mahodaya you can take her. I am not going to interfere.

Chandralekha was stunned. She never expected that handsome man to succumb so easily. She was hoping him to save her. She made one last attempt and pleaded to that man please save me from this evil man. But the man was mot paying any attention to her pleadings and bhadra with a victorious smile proceeded and caught hold of her one hand. As he was about to drag her away.

He felt his neck being grabbed by a strong hold from behind . He struggled to get free from it and started chocking for air . As he struugled his grip on Chandralekha loosened and she was able to free herself . She turned around to see what has transpired?

She was surprised to see that same man has grabbed that man by the scruff of his neck and lifted him off and then threw him to the ground.

He in his deep masculine voice said- everyone wish matters especially if its a marrige then the wish of the girl is of utmost importance. But some of you don't understand it. Today i am going to make an example out of you so that man will think twice before committing such a horrific act.

As he moved towards bhadra. He was terrified of the strength of that stranger. He caught the feet of thecman and begged for the mercy. He admitted he was blinded by the lust but he had learnt his lesson. Pkease forgive him

The man- turned towards Chandralekha and said if you teuly seek apology. Aplogise to this lady with whose honour you were going to play.

Bhadra fell at her feet and started asking for apology.

Chandralekha - it is said that a man can change his behaviour but he can't change his nature. Sooner or later he will bite and reveal his true nature. He may be asking for an apology today but on his first opportunity he wil  bite. So you can't be forgiven you have to die.

Stranger pov

To say i was shocked would be an understatement. I had expected her to forgive him like everyother lady in this aryavart. As ladiesare expected to be epitome of mercy and kindness. But she appeared to be ruthless and unforgiving and this probably made her even more betand attractive than she already was. I literally got mesmerized at her response. She had that aura to make anyone her captive by just a mere look. Really she is something different. Something is different about her. Her aura her elegance her personality. Its attracting me towards her just like a moth gets attracted towards a sourcecof light. It is getting difficult to resist her. So i have to stay away from her .
