Avneet:-No, I have to shoot an eagle soon the sun is going to set.

Vikrama nods and left.Avneet saw Pravin.He was thinking seriously and ran.

Avneet:-Wait.... Where..are you going?

He is gone already.Avneet aim at an eagle and shoot but the arrow didn't went near to the eagle itself.

Avneet:-I have to do something.
Should try like Vikrama and shoot when in the top of the tree.I would have shoot it if I don't get hurt.

Avneet decided and try to climb a tree before that Pravin carry a doctor on his hands and stopped near her.

Pravin:-She is the patient i told you, doc.

The doctor checked and healed her but asked her to take rest for a while but she protest.Pravin took the bow and shoot an eagle within a minute.
He gave it to her.

Pravin:-Don't think it was shot by me.
I know your talent and guru too.If you have not get hurt,you would have shoot by yourself but you should take rest now.Please Accept it as gratitude for saving my younger brother.

Avneet:-I never heard this length speech from you before.

Pravin:-I know I was a man of few words but if you get close to me then you will know I am the most talkative person in the world.

Avneet came closer and picked the eagle.She kissed his hands and step out to left.

Pravin:-We don't do it in our country.
