Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Food

The cold wind was blowing. Dark clouds were visible in the sky. The moon was hidden in the clouds.

Raghuveer stops at a place. He sees a deserted alley. The alley was not visible properly due to the darkness of the night. That alley was small. Raghuveer enters that alley. There was darkness everywhere. Raghuveer couldn't see anything. After coming a little further, the alley ends. There was no way to go further. There was a big wall ahead.

*I'll spend the night here. Raghuveer tells himself.

Looking at that alley, it seemed that no one comes here. Raghuveer leaned against the wall and sat down. He placed his sword against the wall. The darkness was such that Raghuveer couldn't even see himself. There was peace everywhere.

*What should Raghuveer do next? Raghuveer asks himself.

*Now just sleep.. Sleep is important at this moment. Raghuveer replies to himself.

He doesn't know whether today was a good day or a bad one. But Raghuveer was calm.

Raghuveer was looking at the darkness. Raghuveer was thinking about the love he had seen in the eyes of Pratiksha. But he knew nothing about love. So he understands nothing.

Raghuveer closes his eyes, but he doesn't fall asleep. He hadn't eaten anything, so he couldn't sleep. A sound was coming from his stomach. Raghuveer presses his stomach so that the sound doesn't come. He was feeling tired.

"This hunger... is forcing me to steal." Raghuveer said, grinding his teeth.

Raghuveer gets up and stands.

*I have to find food. Raghuveer tells himself.

Raghuveer picks up the sword and starts walking from there. But suddenly someone bumped into him.

Both fall on the ground. That person falls on Raghuveer. Raghuveer sees that torches were coming from the front. Those torches come closer. There were four people holding the torches. They were holding swords in their hands.

The place is illuminated by the torches. Raghuveer sees that there was a girl on top of him.

The girl gets up and stands. Raghuveer also gets up and stands.

"Please help me.. These people are chasing me." The girl said. Fear was visible in her voice and she was trembling.

"Please.. help..." The girl said.

Those people were coming closer to her. The girl hid behind Raghuveer.

"Look.. hand her over to us.. We won't do anything to you." A man said.

The man comes near Raghuveer and grabs the girl's hand and pulls her away. Raghuveer was standing still. He doesn't do anything. It doesn't matter to him.

The girl hits the man. But her delicate hand.. does not affect the man.

"You are weak. So shut up." The man tells the girl.

"Please.. help.." The girl was screaming, looking at Raghuveer.

"Shut up..." The man said.

*Raghuveer help that girl, she looks like a girl from a big house. Today's meal will be arranged. Raghuveer tells himself.

Raghuveer takes the sword out of its sheath.

"Stop.." Raghuveer said. There was no reaction on his face. Those people stop and look back.

"Leave her." Raghuveer said.

Those people laugh and start walking forward.

"I am saying it for the last time. Leave her." Raghuveer said. Those people stop.

"Enough... you grab her. I'll go and kill him." The man gives the girl to another man and comes to kill Raghuveer.

The man attacks Raghuveer. But the man's sword stops. Because Raghuveer had cut off his neck. The man's sword and head fall on the ground. Raghuveer's clothes are filled with blood. The other three people are scared to see this. Because they didn't even see when Raghuveer wielded the sword. The girl is also surprised.

Raghuveer approaches those people. The three of them attack Raghuveer together, Raghuveer kills them in a moment.

Blood splatters on Raghuveer's face and clothes. Raghuveer wipes the blood off his face.

The girl gets up and comes near Raghuveer.

"Thank you.. for saving my life." The girl said.

"Do you have anything to eat?" Raghuveer said. Raghuveer puts the sword back in the sheath.

The girl smiles gently. "Yes, I do.. but not here. Come with me, I will feed you the best food." The girl said. Her fear was now reduced.

Raghuveer nods and goes with the girl.
