The Warrior

Part 39

Kavita shockingly looked at Rama and Manmohan "but Aunty, how will I go there?"

"Very easy" Kirti prompted

The way Kirti explained them the village route Kavita was about to faint, she looked at Arjun who was equally astounded.

"Just try and convince her to come back home. I just hate her social services" Rama said "ever since she has joined that NGO, I am cursing myself for not banning that for her"

"How long has she been there?" Kavita asked thoughtfully

"She left three days back" Rama made a face "God knows, how she is surviving there"

"Does this place exist in the map?" Arjun curiously looked at the dismal faces around him

Manmohan laughed "if not, she will create it"

Everyone went silent on Manmohan's chuckles

Kavita kept on thinking about Aarti's decision "I think she's the biggest fool I have ever seen"

"Really?" Arjun giggled

"What's so funny Arjun?"

"Nothing, I just thought Aarti's trying to take your place"

"Do you want me to hit you?"

"No, no please" Arjun smiled and held her wrist...

"What should I do Arjun? I have to give her this invitation. I want her to attend my wedding and she's gone to some weird place, and all this happened because of your friend Veer...I don't know what he thinks about himself"

"Exactly, I pity Veer who may think of going back to her..." Arjun grinned at Kavita who was angrily looking at him...

"Ok, ok... I will go with you to this bizarre place..."

Chakkittapara village was surrounded by palm trees with a river in the front, the houses were old and people barely had any facilities.

Boats were commonly used to travel in between the main road and the village. Not more than four people were able to sit at one time...

No one had ever heard about a mobile, forget having one. Village had a total population of approximately seventy people. These people survived on their little farms on the outskirts of the village. There wasn't any shortage of water, but electricity was still on a planning list for this village.

People of the village were very friendly and welcomed guests, but this village rarely had anyone coming because of the river crossing and the electricity being a problem in the village.

Kavita and Arjun looked at each other while sitting on a local train from Kerala that would drop them till Kozhikode district.

Kavita couldn't believe her friend would take such a step and start living in a village. It sounded so horrible, only this travelling was so agonizing, imagine the rest of the journey would be a nightmare...

"Kavita, why do you look so exasperated?"

"Because I am. Don't you understand, she spoiling her life?"
