15.Kidnapped

When Ragini woke up, her head hurted very much, it was morning, she was in a shabby cottage ground tied, in front of her, Karm was lying unconscious. There was dust all around, they were in an unknown place kidnapped. Someone from outside shouted, "Fool you should have brought both the princes, why you kidnapped the princess too?". Ragini understood they were the kidnappers, she understood they tried to kidnap both the princes, she hoped Dharm is safe now. She must get her and her brother out very fast without the kidnappers consciousness.

She tried to untie her hands and legs which were tied by rope,which she couldn't, she then brought her hands to her mouth and started opening the knot with her teeth. After some time being successful, she quickly untied her legs, then untied her asleep brother, took her brother behind her back and escaped quietly from the bamboo window. She ran as her two eyes could see, but it was a forest.

She then came across a river, there she heard a distant cry "They both have escaped, find them quickly else we will be killed". She knew it was a dead sign for her and that the kidnappers knew her escape , she swam accross the river, with little Karm unconscious behind her back. As she reached the other side, it was a large Meadow, she started running through the Meadow. She then came across a large tree. She sat under it a while taking rest being tired, exhausted

Suddenly Ragini saw a little cottage far, she being tired and exhausted started running towards the cottage. As she almost reached the gates, a bullock cart(a vehicle run by cows like horse carriage) came to a halt near the gate too. From there came out a fair handsome green eyed young man. Ragini astonished by his handsome looks cried for help to him, "Please help us, please help us" and went running towards him and fell on his feet.
