After a long ride finally they made it to the village chakubuki. It takes another five narrow curves down the hill to reach milestone which reads chakubhuki 0 KM. As they stand at the top of the hill and chakubhuki is visible from the top they were confident enough to get down and see the bird view of the beautiful village lighted in the night, and to breathe some fresh air.
Houses are seems to be very few in chakubhuki so is the population of that small settlement. Transportation is little difficult in the narrow roads which appears to be a snake rolled up to the hill having its extremity at chakubhuki. “Live long those who built it” said havani.
They sat little longer than expected, being little relief for their exhausted body they start walking down the hill taking to each other.
“We would have left little earlier” says somu.
“It was abhi who came late after playing” complains adhi.
Abhi yells “No... Not me... it was you sleeping all day”
Everybody laughs at her temper. Which was quite vanished when meeting with crowcat.
They laughs at each other for what has happed on the way and their bravery.
Aditya: “someone is standing with the lamp isn’t it?”
“Yea it’s my brother, he has come to take all of us”
He is sugun, somus elder brother married few years ago and lives with his lovely wife and two kids at chakubhuki village. And works in his paddy fields and makes his happy living. Abhi explains what happed on the way in her sweet voice. Sugun warns not to ride in the night without elders accompany. He enquires his father’s health and somu's studies.
Dogs start barking as they enters the wooden gate. Sugun calls their names “tinku tinku.. kuntu kuntu” and pets them. “somu anna.. “ shouts the kid standing beside his mother. And the suguns wife goes inside and brings a bucket of warm water to wash their foot. It is a cute little babe she is carrying in other hand. Havani receives the baby with a great pleasure. Dinner was already arranged as they arrived late it was heated and served by sugun’s wife.
As soon as having the food abhi goes to sleep as they were tierd travelling somu and adhi stays awake for while planning tomorrow and goes to sleep. (And here going me to sleep)
