Deva came out of library shop and started his bike holding the books as his prized possession.They hold value to him because he knew at moment this was what he could do for her.

His boke stopped just near his house.Bunch of girls were passing by gazing at him.This was not unusual or new.Ever since he came to this place they had their eyes on him.Seeing tall muscual man like him who is so well behaved.He was crush for every girl out there.

As he parked his bike he could hear giggles outside.Knowing well what it was about he walked passed them.

One of girls said.

"Why are all good looking men married.It hurts to know he is already taken."

The other one gave sarcastic smile.

"As if he would talk to us or spare glance.When he didnt bring his wife here before.How can someone be so strong.Yet soft spoken."

"But he brings books for his wife?Who does that."

They continued laughing and walked from there.

Deva entered his home and kept fruits and books on table.The house felt empty with only sound coming from his mothers room.After washing his face and hands and feet.He went to his room and found Meenakshi not there.Searching whole house his heart skipped beat.He didnt have any other option but to rush to his mothers room.

D-"Maa.Meenakshi?"

His mother looked at him and then continued her sewing work.

"She has been resting only.I didnt ask her to do any work.Must be in her room."

D-"Shes not there.I searched whole house.Thats why asking."

The swing machine stopped and she looked at her son leaving from there.She felt sudden fear inside her heart.Taking deep breath.

Standing in crowded street with people and chaos around.Meenakshi felt her head going dizzy.The weakness was still there due to which she couldnt take all this.Still she walked wrapping shawl around her.With difficulty she found phone booth and managed to walk till there.Breathing heavily she dialed number.Wiping sweat from her face.She was desperately trying a number but no one was receiving from other end.She felt helpless.It took her lot courage and opportunity to come out like this.She cant fail today.The phone dropped from her hand seeing someone outside the booth.

He searched on lanes catching his breath asking every person about her.She never stepped out like this.If she did he feared what it could lead to.He cant let that happen.He roamed around streets looking for her.

Meeankshi was scared to death as door of booth was forced opened.She stepped out covering herself holding onto shawl tightly.Her face wet with sweat.She breathed sharply feeling eyes and nasty gaze on her.Four men were giving her looks which were not decent in any sense.She tried to run from there when one of them blocked her way.

"Please.Let me go."

The man looked strong enough and smirked at his boss.Who stood there whistling.All of them started laughing which made her feel more weak.She shut her eyes and prayed for miracle.

"Madam wants to go.Aww.See how we scared her.Very bad.Tell us the way to your home.Maybe we can help."

As he said those words giving looks to her.She felt disgusted and anger started taking over her.

M-"Leave my way."

One of them walked towards her and tried to come closer.She stepped backwards.

"If we dont leave.Then.What will you do Madam.you are so beautiful.Soft.How can we leave you without doing anything..hahahah"

Meenakshi felt lump on her throat and felt another man behind her.He tried to touch her when she pushed him.Seeing her reacting like this it hit their ego.

"No one showed this much courage to me till now.Look what we do with you.Lets take her with us come."

The man was about to touch her hand.They saw a shadow covering them.A shadown can make you shiver from inside.Yes it does.
