Secret passages of Bhairavgad

Chapter 16 : Day 12 : An arrow aimed on the blind spot.

The third day morning Sati is awaken by Rati who when opens her eyes hears the rustling sound. Looking through the glass she realises they were in the market area of khaara bazaar.

Sati rubs her eyes with back of her hand and knuckles while Rudra paves his way through the crowd driving slowly.

Rudra looks Sati arching her back raising her hands, then yawns she closes her mouth immediately with both her palms. Rudra smiles seeing Sati's morning look.

Rati eyes are exploring all the khaara bazaar shops through the crowd.

Rati excitedly, "Rudra can we make a stop here for just few minutes?"

Rudra turns his face placing his left arm on the seat, turning his body to left to see Rati as he stopped the car with engine running to let the man in front of him clear the way with his goats.

Rudra in a husky voice, "We are already late by few hours Rati. And I am not letting you step down with the clothes you are wearing cause, in no time you will be surrounded by these people."

Rati glaring at Rudra confusingly, "Why would they surround us or come to us?"

Rudra turns his body and face puts the gear, looking ahead says, "Ofcourse the perverts want to feel the princess of Bhairavgad while others just want to see how you look like!"

Sati raises her eyebrows, "And how do they know it's us?"

Rudra smirks, "How many people here own a black ambassador with number 111 here in Bhairavgad? he pauses then sarcastically replies, "Oh no everyone !"

Sati crosses her hands to her chest saying, "Asshole."

Rati's eyes widen and next moment Rudra scoffs, "You learnt a good language Sati!"

Rati then continues, "Sati, if Jeesa, Dadisa or any other person hears these foul words from your mouth you surely are gonna hear a mouthful from them."

Sati shrugs looking out as their car passes through the crowd. They reach the palace gates just before noon. Rudra opens the door for Rati while Sati had already stepped inside the gates. Maids and man servants along with guards are in chaos across the court roaming and standing.

Rati asks one of the maids, "What happened, what's the commotion?"

Maid replies in a stuttering tone, "Bade Hh..Hu... Hukum was attacked today morning...."

Rati jerks maid's shoulders cutting her asking frantically, "Where is he now?"

Maid replies pointing her palm, "He's in his room."

Rati rushes to the right hand side of the stairs followed by Rudra and Sati climbing stairs forcefully. Rudra while climbing stairs turns to see Sati's constrained face, then looks ahead walking in Kanwar Singh's room.

Sati enters Kanwar Singh's room to see Rati is standing beside Kanwar Singh's bed sniffing holding his hands. While to his right hand side Padmini is standing and Dadisa sitting on sofa to the left side of bed, behind Rati's back.

Sati walks towards Kanwar Singh to say but Rudra speaks, "What happened Hukum?"

Kanwar Singh shifts and Padmini helps him to sit up. Padmini speaks before Kanwar Singh could say, "He went to handout wedding invitee to Sarpanchji for Rati's wedding and then joined him along with his meeting with farmers. While returning back he was attacked by few horses and the car collapsed. Thank god, Sarpanchji came in time, so there was no harm."

Rudra raises his one eyebrow, "Where is Joshiji?"

Kanwar Singh, "He dislocated his shoulder and is down with the doctor."
