All seemed well and safe until from behind the tree the same Sikh appeared. With one look at his face, I thought that I had fainted. I thought I must have been in suspended motion looking at him. How the others reacted could not be imagined.
We knew that we had no chance to escape this time. In the confusion and shock, all I could hear were, “Sorry… Please… Let us go, very sorry..,”
I could not remember what I had muttered as all of us were in tears and we were begging earnestly. Our hands were rubbing away the tears that were rolling down like huge raindrops.
We did not realise that we were still clasping the guavas with one hand and the other rubbing away the tears on our cheeks and on our faces.
