Eklavya opened his eyes and felt his vision was unclear and his head was hurting. He could not recall where he was as he found himself lying on a small but comfortable single bed in a small room that was dark and he could see daylight outside as the door was wide open. After some time he came to his Senses and then he recalled the earlier events one by one.
First, he remembered that he and his parents had come for a jungle safari to celebrate his birthday. Then their Gypsy was stopped by some dangerous men and then he and his father were beaten miserable. Then someone hit him on his head and he lost consciousness.
As soon as he recalled the events which happened earlier and the reality struck him that he and his parents were kidnapped by some unknown men he became alert as he did not know what to do in this situation. However, he felt a bit odd since he was laying on a comfortable bed and the entrance of the room was wide open. Since if someone was kidnapped he felt that they would not be kept in a room with an open entrance so he felt confused and also wondered where his parents were.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable thinking about what if his kidnappers returned what might happen and where his parents were he started thinking of escaping and was just removing his bed covers himself when an old woman entered the room and exclaimed: "Oh! You got up already. Now please do not try to get up, you are extremely fragile at this moment so lay down before you hurt yourself."
Eklavya asked: "Where am I? What is this place?".
The old woman said: "Don't strain yourself first, have some soup and I will call Rohit and he will answer all your queries." Saying that the women put some soup on the small table just beside the bed for Eklavya to have before turning around and going back to call for Rohit.
Eklavya was feeling extremely weak and once he smelled the soup he felt very hungry as he realized that he had an empty stomach so he wanted to have the soup but then he felt that the soup could be drugged so he did not dare to have it. He also felt his head was hurting very severely and when he felt his head he realized that it was bandaged. As he was wondering what he should do in this situation he heard quick footsteps as he alerted himself of what was coming next.
Then he saw that the old woman was returning with Rohit and surprisingly he was the same local guide boy who was accompanying him and his parents in the jungle and Eklavya was surprised to see him there as he had so many unanswered questions on his mind.
The local boy who saw the look on Eklavya's face knew what was going on in his mind so he came near Eklavya and said sympathetically: "Hi Bro! Are you okay now?"
Eklavya after seeing someone familiar felt a bit of relief and asked: "Where am I and where are Mom and dad?
As soon as Eklavya asked this question the expression on Rohit's face changed to a solemn one as he did not know how to answer him.
Love saw the tension in the environment and looking at the solemn look on Rohit's face Eklavya knew something was wrong so he asked again: "Tell me clearly what happened?"
Rohit said: "You remember those men who stopped our Gypsy and attacked us while we were returning from the Jungle Safari? After that, you fainted when they attacked you with a rod on your forehead and you just woke up after 3 days and two nights of unconscious state."
Eklavya listened to Rohit and was surprised that he was in an unconscious state for the last three days as he answered: "Yes I remember those men who attacked me and my parents. I will never let those men go and they will suffer but I want to know where my parents are first."
Rohit Sensing the anticipation of Eklavya he answered apologetically as he dropped the bomb on him by revealing the truth: "I was able to get you out and escape from those men however I am very sorry to say Eklavya. But your parents are now being held as hostages by these men. Those men were not any ordinary people. They actually run a racket here of abducting the citizens if someone gives them money. I am afraid your parents might have already been shipped to some foreign country by now."
The previous three days Eklavya had been unconscious and without food in his stomach. Eklavya was quite sick at this point because saline was on him because he was unable to eat, which is why he was saved and taken to this location thanks to Rohit.
After knowing about his parents his mental condition was very unstable as he did not know what to do and how to rescue them. His parents were everything for him since it was evident that he chose to go with his parents for the Jungle safari rather than his friends and also his parents used to pamper him a lot. He felt as if he had lost a part of his soul or the most important thing in his life.
Due to extreme fury and restlessness he just got up from the Bed and yanked the syringes which were inserted on his wrist for the saline and asked Rohit "I want to go and find them now. You have to help me Rohit."
Rohit said: "Calm down please! I understand that you are missing your parents very much but we do not know their exact location. I have also informed police on this but they are also unaware of your parents location right now. So the only thing you can do is to return home and liaise with the police for further investigation."
In the end, since Eklavya was only a minor and was in a foreign country and did not have any clue where to look for his parents had to return home.
