Anushka 😍😘🤩

Chapter 3

               **************
Time continued to fly fast and everyone moved on with their lives.
There came times of festival celebrations, other wars and battles with enemy towns and kingdoms.

In all of their troubles the mysterious warrior showed up out of nowhere to their defense and always disappeared at the end before anyone would realize.

Yei, it was a festival of colours 'Happy Holi' they call it.

Everyone in the kingdom was wishing one another a happy Holi and enjoying the fun of applying colours on each other's face.

Back in Imagavish town, Uncle Ludin, Aunt Definie and Anushka had gone to the temple to pray and after the rituals, they came out to have a feel of the excitement going on outside.

There were young ladies dancing to the local rythm of the drums beaten by some men. There were colours flying in air.

Anushka soon joined in the dance and eventually pulled her uncle and aunt into the dance circle.

After a while, uncle Ludin told Anushka to get him something from the house.
In a bit of a hurry to run the errand, she bumped into a certain man.

"Sorry" she quickly apologized but got no response.

As the man passed by her, she felt wierd and turned to have a close look at him.

"Wierd man, it's happy Holi and everyone is happy but this man........if I'm right is not from this kingdom. Strange..." She thought.

Confirming her doubts, she clearly spotted this same man giving some kind of signals to other strange men around.

"Oh goddess Durga, they are here." She murmured saddly to herself as she quickened her steps.
                 *******"""
Suddenly,

There is screaming among the maidens.
There is commotion everywhere.
The strange men were attacking the people in the town.

The brave men who even manned up and went to confront them ended up with broken legs, jaws,arms and knees.

°~°
"Fight Raju! Man up! You're just a twenty one years old guy who came here to enjoy the happy Holi celebration not to be butchered by some mean old looking man who wouldn't stop until he takes away your poor little life..... Oh dear lord Krishna please save me.." poor Raju prayed as he kept on running.

At a certain point, he stopped to grab some loaves of bread which he hurled at the man. Hoping that would help. Even with what seemed like life and death situation, he still had his sense of humor.

He had reached a dead end and found himself by the table of colour powders. One after the other he grabbed them and poured them onto the man's face.
"Happy Holi......... Un...cle" he cried as the man got closer.

Raju almost peed on himself when suddenly, the mysterious warrior appeared and came to his rescue.

Nothing could describe his excitement by the sight of how the M.W killed the man right in front of him.

"Tha...than...thank you mysterious warrior f... for saving my life. I... I am v... very honored to meet you." He managed to stutter out some words.

The mysterious warrior just bowed his head briefly in appreciation to his gratitude.
Another enemy attacked and the M.W left to fight him.

Raju hid behind a nearby overturned table to watch the M.W fight in amazement.

Just then, a lady's necklace fell from the MW's clothes as he fought.

Raju seized the chance to go and pick it up.

" I'll personally give this back to him after the fight." He thought proudly.

Soon, the guards arrived at the place in their numbers to capture the enemies.

The last time Raju saw the MW was when one of the enemies cut his wrist with a sword.

The guards managed to bring order.

Raju was able to secretly follow the MW but eventually lost sight of him when one guard approached to question him about what actually started the commotion.

Ludin and Definie had been worriedly looking for Anushka as at the time of the attack.

They got home to find her trying to find what uncle Ludin sent her to get for him.

" Thanks to lord Krishna that you are safe Anushka." Ludin said as he heaved a breath of relief.

"Anushka, what's wrong? " Definie probed when Anushka momentarily winced out of pain.

" Oh nothing aunt, I tripped over a stone and fell down on my way here. Just a little pain from the impact. Nothing to worry about. It's really nothing." She kind of fumbled with those words.

" Oh okay" both uncle Ludin and aunt Definie said in a sync................
