While Shehnaaz was engrossed in her thoughts, she was startled by a sudden cry of a cow. When she saw into the direction, she saw a poor cow was being bullied by another strong built cow. Oh!! At least that's what she thought since she couldn't differentiate between a bull and a cow. To help the poor and weak cow, she picked up a stone nearby and pelted at the stronger one, who had its two front legs placed above the weaker one from behind. With her action, Shehnaaz had successfully enraged the bull by helping the cow escape. The infuriated bull glared at Shehnaaz and flared its nostrils which didn't give a good vibe to Shehnaaz. She took a few steps back while gulping her saliva due to fear when the bull was head-on with head lowered, shoulders hunched and neck curved to the side towards her. Outraged, the bull hit its right front leg twice preparing to charge at her.

"Mummmmmyyy... Helpppp", Shehnaaz screamed as she brought in all her treadmill running practice into use. Sidharth, who was sitting under the tree, enjoying his meal, looked into Shehnaaz's direction and saw her running. A little far from her, he saw the furious bull chasing her. Without any delay, he was running towards her.

The people working in the field were scared and ran to find a safe place to hide themselves.

"Shehnaaaz..", he called her to gain her attention.

"Sidhaaarth.. bachaaaoo..", She cried glancing at him.

"Kuch na hoga thaare ko.. bas bhaagti reh aur uske nazar se chupp jaa.. main uska dhyaan dusri taraf karta hoon..", he yelled the instruction as he aimed a stone at the ox who was chasing Shehnaaz.

After two attacks and loud hurling noises made by Sidharth, the raging bull looked into his direction and chased him. He ran in the opposite direction as swiftly as possible while the bull kept chasing him.

Shehnaaz hid herself behind the tree but she was worried for Sidharth and kept looking for him. Sidharth quickly climbed up the tree nearly escaping the attack by irked bull that bumped into the tree. The bull took a few steps back as it bellowed in anger strolled around the tree.

Sidharth on the other hand, avoided direct eye contact with the bull  which could enrage it further and looked into the direction where Shehnaaz had been running earlier. All he wanted was to make sure that she was safe. It took over 15 minutes of total silence and a herd of cow to calm and distract the bull's attention. Once, Sidharth was assured that the bull was away from his sight, he quickly got down from the tree and went in search of Shehnaaz.

"Shehnaaz.. Shehnaaz..", Sidharth called scanning the surrounding.

"M..main yaha hoon..", came Shehnaaz's answer and Sidharth looked into the direction. Shehnaaz had managed to climb up a tree herself to save herself from the bull if it returned.

"Niche aa jao..", he said.

"Woh g..g..gaai mujhe maaregi toh?", Shehnaaz stuttered scared.

"Woh chala gaya.. ib koi khatra na se.. niche aaja chhorri", he answered. She looked around to make sure the bull wasn't in sight.

"Ke dekh rahi se? Aa jaa chhorri..", he said.

"Par main kaise uttru yaha se?", she asked.

"Jaise tu upar chadi vaise..", he answered.

"Woh toh main darr ke maare upar chadd gayi.. par mujhe utarna nahi aata..", she spoke innocently.

"Hmmm.. toh ke tu udhar hi revegi? Uttarneki koshish toh kar chhorri..", he said.

"Main gir gayi toh?", she asked with a pout that made him coo internally.

"Kuch na hovega, main thanne girne na dunga..", he replied.
