" James, is that you ? ", shouted the voice. But still James couldn't see her. " Jaanu ? I'm here, where are you ? ", James shouted again despite of the continuous punches given by the tribal people. (*Pushes the crowd*)"Move away, don't beat him, he's my friend ", said Jaanu and aggressively pushed the person who kept beating him. She then torn a small piece of her dress and wiped the blood. The noise came to an halt and the both of them became the centre of attention to the tribal crowd. " Are you okay ? James ? What happened ? ", asked Jaanu as a group of shadows surrounded them. Jaanu stood in front of them and blocked the tribal soldiers to carry them and started to untie their hands. And a strange old man stepped into the scenario. His unique crown made out of colourful feathers of seasonal birds and a series of saber tooth chain hanging in his neck indirectly revealed him as the leader of the tribe.

I was talking with the little dear about myself and asked where its mother was ? That's when I noticed these guys gazing at me from behind. His eyes continuously switched between the calf and me, me and calf, calf and me and suddenly he started laughing and I laughed with him. Then I came to here and the tribal leader asked his men to bring you guys here. Thanks to him. You guys are safe now, Hehehe !". David: (*Sighs*) " I wonder how you are going to handle her for the rest of your life ", said David. James: I too have no idea how I'm going to....wait Hey Jaanu ? Jaanu: Hmm ? James: How the heck do you know their language ? Jaanu : What language ? I don't understand their language. James : Then how did you told them about us ?
