Sarla is packing her bag rethinking the plan, only she and Malti knew. Her grandmother is waiting outside house shouting, "Oii YOU TWO COME OUT WE SHOULD LEAVE! HURRY UP OR THE BULLOCK CART WILL LEAVE!!"
Sarla was wearing a shirt and a simple skirt with her hair tied in a bun, she was simple but she was beautiful like an angel.
After sometime Sarla and Malti and their grandmother sat in Bullock cart. It was 2pm, Sunny day, it was so hot, All three of them were dripping with sweat.
Sarla was thinking about the plan when she saw a couple walking. The man was covering the women's face with handkerchief to block sunlight. Sarla thought it was sweet gesture, She felt happy for them but she envied that women wondering when she will feel this.
Her grandmother noticed Sarla felt lost, she shoutee at her, "Sarla! What happened?" .
Sarla nodded her head in negative.
At 3pm they reached the bus station. Malti and Sarla were whispering their plan. Sarla said, "Aaji (in marathi grandmother means aaji) you can leave, when the bus with arrive we will get in bus to Panchnama. " Her grandmother looked like she was considering. "Ok, I'll leave but you girls be careful, get in bus and don't eat anything anyone gives you. If the bus didn't arrive go to Pandurang dada house, he lives in this village only. "
Sarla's grandmother leaves. Malti and Sarla are waiting for bus for Panchnama. It has been hours and it started getting dark. At this point they were scared. Malti started blaming Sarla.
They started walking towards the village. Walking towards the village Sarla felt something was going to change as they arrived in village. Sarla was searching for her relative, when she saw a brown guy standing with his friends. His friends we're loud but he was quite, quiter than others. He was tall, handsome with brown eyes that shone in evening light.Sarla froze in her tracks, Malti was asking her if she was alright.
Sarla walked towards that guy slowly and nervously, he noticed her and smiled softly. She looked down at her because she was shorter than her. "Oi, Can you tell me where Pandurang dada lives?"
"Yea I know it, you follow me I'll take you guys to him."he said softly. His friends looked at him surprised.
Sarla said, "Why should I? What if you take us somewhere and kill us?! "
He chuckled amused at her straight forward question, "Why would I? Just trust me ok? "Sarla didn't want to but he looked sweet.
