Leela proceeded towards backyard of the house carefully as it was dark. She was following Radha, who was going ahead, guiding Leela with a lantern. Radha kept the lantern in few yards away from the temporary bathroom. With the flickering light of lantern, she could locate the temporary bathroom.
Nobody was there around the area. She removed her petticoat and towel, and she was completely naked. She started taking bath.
After some moments, all of a sudden, she heard the sound of Gunshots. Then she heard the frantic screams of people inside the house. She was so horrified and frightened that immediately, she put on her petticoat, and covered her upper portion with towel. The lantern burning near her had suddenly gone out. There was darkness everywhere but the surroundings were visible due to moonlit. She heard the footstep. A silhouetted figure appeared from nowhere, and was approaching towards her. She got so scared that she wanted to scream.
A hissed sound was heard. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! don't make any sound, I am Radha. The armed Dacoits have barged in to the house. They have surrounded the entire house from the main entrance except this back portion of the house. They have cornered everybody inside the house. They are thrashing everybody brutally who are trying to confront them. They are looting cash and jewelry. Luckily, I escaped from there and came to warn you. Memsahib, be hurry, you have to flee from this place immediately. If they find you, then the consequences will be worst, they may bang you as you are very beautiful," said Radha.
Leela shivered, a cold sweat was dripping from her forehead. She was so nervous, panic stricken that she was struck dumb. She was so afraid of her life that she was perspiring in her whole body due to sacredness. Suddenly, they both heard another Gunshot. The Dacoits opened fire in the air, and continued their looting spree. The flashing of torch lights by the Dacoits in the distance could be seen by both Leela and Radha.
With nervous tone, Leela asked, "Where is my husband?"
"Don't worry! He has escaped unhurt, and waiting for you there," Radha indicated a big tree behind which was 200 feet away from the backyard.
"But, how can I go outside without clothes? All my clothes are in Travel bag, even my sandals are inside the house," she asked Radha.
"Mem sahib, you try to forget those, those are taken away by the Dacoits. You are lucky that fortunately, I have found a pair of old torn saree and blouse lying in the cowshed, which were used and left by previous maid of this house. Please wear this, and leave the place immediately. Good bye...Mem sahib," saying this, Radha vanished in darkness.
Leela, realizing the situation, immediately, came to her senses. She put on the torn blouse without bra, and torn saree above the petticoat hurriedly.
