Phoenix

3. Grustan family

Rihan sipped from the bowl and finished the soup and handed the empty bowl back to Tara. Tara is ten years old but looks younger. He took the empty bowl in his hand and didn't leave immediately, standing close to Rihan. Rihan asked with closed eyes, what happened Tara, will you say something?

Tara shook her head, said, Uhu.

You look like you want to ask something, don't be shy, ask.

Tara asked hesitantly, the chains that bind your legs don't hurt you?

Rihan shook the chained right leg and said, Nah. It has become a habit.

Tara looked around and lowered his throat and said, why are you tied up? Are you very scary?

Rihan tried to pull a smile on his face and said, what do you think?

i don't know Tara tried to put on a seriousness beyond her age and said, father said you are very dangerous and that's why he chained you up.

Not knowing what to say, Rihan looked at the child's face in amazement. Branna lowered her voice and said like conspirators, father said you must have killed someone in your commune and escaped. People in your commune must be looking for you.

Rihan laughed and said, "If I was really terrible, would your father send soup to a little girl like you?"

Tara nodded trying to understand, you are right.

Actually no one knows me so everyone is afraid. Everyone is afraid of strangers.

Tara looked at Rihan for a while and said, when dad brought you, we all thought you would die?

I thought so too.

Did you run away from your commune?

That's a big story.

Trans eyes sparkled, her love for the story so much. Rihan came a little closer and said, tell me the story?

Rihan patted Trans head and said, I will definitely say. But you won't tell anyone?

Jana quickly shook her head and said, I will not tell anyone. I swear to God's prima!

Ishwari Prema! Rihan's chest suddenly felt, he somehow survived from the hands of Lord Claude, here is Ishwari Prema. Will it be in any danger again? What will happen to Ishwari Prema when she finds out about him?

Jana said impatiently, what happened? Say no?

I will say yes. I will tell you after a few more days.

Tara was a little disappointed, was going to say something but just then a few small children crowded at the door of the container and started shouting. It's time for them to play and the game just doesn't come together without Tara!

Rihan stands up after Tara leaves, he is tied with a chain several meters long, he can walk a little inside the container, sit near the open door and look out but he can't do anything about it. Rihan walks around inside the container, telling Tara that she's used to being chained between her legs but isn't. One man is probably another. One can get used to many things but never get used to living in shackles.

.

Rihan woke up to the sound of the lock opening. Tristan unlocks the container and enters. It's early morning, not a good start to the day. Tristan opened the lock on the other end of Rihan's legs and said, come on.

Rihan has noticed before that Tristan is a man of few words. Earlier Rihan tried to talk to him but to no avail. Thanking him many times for saving his life, Tristan had no idea. Rihan expressed curiosity or objection many times about shackling him, Grustan never said anything there, his expression seemed to be a very normal thing to shackle a man like an animal.

Rihan stood up and said, where?

Tristan motioned for him to proceed without answering.

Rihan pointed to his shackles and said, untie me first.

no

Why not?

Coming to attack us, you have to fight.

Rihan startled wildly, turning his head to take a good look at Tristan, a kind of restlessness in the quietly cold man's face. Rihan could hear people running around outside, a kind of silent busyness, the kind of restless atmosphere that occurs when an outside group attacks a commune.

Rihan asked, I have to fight?

yes

How to fight if shackled?

Since you cannot escape, you will fight with your soul. Besides—

What else?

we don't know you We do not know anything about you, it may be that those who are coming are your people.

Rihan looked at Tristan in shock, was going to say something but Tristan didn't give a chance, pulled the shackle and said, come on. quickly

Rihan steps out of the container and looks around. The trucks are arranged in a circle. People are running around with arms in hand. A man stands on the roof of a truck and tries to look into the distance with binoculars. Rihan could hear the soft roar of a motorbike engine floating in the distance, it seemed like a big fleet was coming here.

Tristan handed Rihan's chain to a middle-aged man and said, "Take it with you." Tie to something on the front line.

ok

You are close to it.

will stay

The middle-aged man looked a little nervous, he said in a trembling voice, what did Ishwari Prema say?

Didn't say anything yet. You go to the front line, I will inform you as soon as Ishwari orders.

ok

A middle-aged man walked forward with two stern-looking girls. Wrapping the chain around Rihan's legs, a girl handed him a medium-powered automatic weapon and said, "Keep it." I will teach you how to go to the front line.

Rihan took a look at the weapon, I don't have to teach. I know how to run it.

The girl looked at Rihan in surprise, Rihan said, you have nothing to fear. come on

Rihan and three others proceed through the rocky road. They all stopped when they came to some big rocks about a few hundred meters away. The middle-aged man looked around and proceeded to chain Rihan to the axle of a burnt-out lorry. Rihan said, we need to go further.

The man looked at Rihan in surprise. Turu frowned and said, what did you say?

I said, we need to go further.

Why?

Motorbikes then we will get face to face. Totally open target. If they are here, they will come suddenly and we won't even have time to prepare.

The middle-aged man looked at Rihan with wide eyes for a moment, then said, "We don't need to hear from you what we have to do." That is why Ishwari Prema is there.

Rihan did not take the insult, a bloody war will start here soon, there is no point in bothering about the insults. Rihan felt a flutter of fear and uneasiness in her chest. The motorbikes are coming blowing dust far away, the hum of the motorbikes can be heard quite clearly this time. Rihan listened for a while and said excitedly, Breasts 43!

The middle-aged man said, what happened?

Breasts 43 motorbike. Two thousand cc engine!

how do you know

Sounds can be understood. Once I drove, very powerful machine!

The middle-aged man and the girl moved to the sides, taking no part in Rihan's excitement. Rihan didn't give up though, saying, Breasts 43 has a lot of noise

The middle-aged man angrily said, "You don't say anything rude about a machine." informant

Rihan sighed and said, I am not saying any rude words. I am saying what is true. The gasoline tank is unprotected. Lightweight aluminum body. Can be blown up by shooting with twelve gram expressive bullets.

The middle aged man looked at his other two companions and all of them started looking around for a good place to place their weapons, completely ignoring Rihan. a big one Placing the automatic weapon on the rock, the middle-aged man bowed his head in reverence, murmured something, touched the barrel of the weapon with his hand, and touched his forehead.

Just then Kristan is seen running. He is running to say something, jumping over the rocks. Coming near, Kristan gasped and said, Ishwari Priya's orders have arrived.

The middle-aged man became happy, victory be to Ishwari Prima. One of the two girls standing next to him said, what did Ishwari Prema say?

Said these are Breasts 43 motorbikes. Its gasoline tank is made of lightweight aluminum. Asked to shoot with expressive bullets of twelve villages.

The middle-aged man and the girl with him stood dumbfounded, looking like they didn't understand Justin's words. Tristan said a little surprised, what happened to you?

No-no-nothing. The middle-aged man looked at Rihan. Suddenly a kind of fear appeared in his eyes. She still can't believe what Rihan has already said about Ishwari Prema.

Tristan Avinash didn't understand that, he said, Ishwari said you go further. Then you can attack the motorbikes head on. You will get it as an open target, don't delay.

Grustan leaped over the rock just as he had come running and headed back towards the commune. Rihan changed his hand and said, now you believe me?

The middle-aged man looked at Rihan for a while without saying anything, then said, "How did you know?"

Rihan shrugged and said that we can talk about it later. Now hurry up. Delay will lead to disaster.

The man walked over to the burning lorry and unlocked the shackles. Holding it tightly, he looked at Rihan with a stern look and said, "Go ahead." If you overdo it, I will kill you. Ishwari Prema Kasam.

The tough looking girl pushed Rihaan back and asked him to take her forward, you have to report to Ishwari Prema when the war is over.

The other girl said, no need to report. Ishwari Prema will know for herself.

The middle-aged man said, "Victory to Ishwari Primar."

The other two said like a machine, let there be victory.

.

Two hundred meters away Rihan and three others raised their automatic weapons and waited for the motorbikes. Rihan said, knowing for sure that opening his mouth would lead to danger, he would not shoot until he was within range. The trigger will be pulled after the laser lock is guaranteed. Not before that.

This is not Ishwari Prema's order, but the middle-aged man and the two accompanying girls accepted it with a smile. They understand that Rihan has something in them that they don't have. They are very uncomfortable because they cannot catch it. As Rihan said, they waited patiently and when the fleet of motorbikes appeared very close, they locked in on the target and pulled the trigger, immediately the whole atmosphere became terrifying. In the blink of an eye, three motorbikes were destroyed in a huge explosion. The atmosphere became hellish with human screams, gunshots and the smell of gunpowder. The attacking team was desperate, half of the team's fighters were women, and they were repeatedly trying to break through their ranks with automatic weapons. Tristan moves forward with some more men to help them. The whole area started to shake with the terrible gunshots.

The war ended almost as suddenly as it had begun. The attacking party suddenly decided to retreat. Picking up their wounded men and women on motorbikes and firing, they disappeared into the horizon, kicking up dust. A sense of relief returned to everyone as the enemy was stopped without any major damage. Almost the entire area erupted into a festive mood. After everyone goes back to the commune, Rihan discovers that he is alone here. He was shackled to the axle of a truck, no one remembers taking him off.

Rihan was definitely happy with that. He has been trapped in the tiny cabin of the container for a long time. He doesn't feel bad sitting outside in the open wilderness. Rihan leans on a big rock and stares at the far horizon. I don't know exactly why his mind is getting depressed. It is not known how long he was sitting like this, Rihan suddenly heard.

A girl's voice. Rihan turned his head to see Tara standing with a small drink bottle. Rihan said in a soft voice, what's up Trans!

Why are you sitting here alone?

I am tied here.

O! Trans waits for a few moments and passes the bottle of drink towards him, I brought this for you.

Thank you very much Tara. Rihan opened the drink bottle and poured some stimulating drink down his throat and said, I think everyone has forgotten about me.

ugh Tara nodded, not forgetting.

Rihan looked a little surprised, how do you know?

I heard father talking to others.

What are you talking about?

Tara shook her head, said, I don't know. I think Ishwari will take you to Prema.

Rihan was surprised and said, what did you say?

Tara frowned and looked at Rihan and said, you are very scary, aren't you?

Rihan didn't say anything, she's not scary at all. He is different. Different doesn't mean terrible. But how will he explain this to others?
