A Strong Lady

 

She punched him down.
The man who tried,
To rob them up,
But he ended up being one who cried.

His eyes were red, 
Through them flowed anger.
He was to attack back,
But Daniel stopped the stranger.

The fallen one thought,
The man obeyed her too.
He felt like a weak point,
The easy one to get to.

The police had come,
And little they were distracted.
The stranger terrorised with a knife,
He was taken aback by the way Daniel reacted.

Again the man,
Was crushed to the ground.
Much to his surprise,
And everyone around. 

The storm had faded,
The rainbow had to come,
They had a fun talk,
And finally, there were smiles some!

Daniel was astonished and also a little shocked on seeing the scene in front of him. A woman, who had a height of 5'6 punched a man who was way over 5'10. She was also successful in knocking him to the ground. Daniel wrestled too, he had to learn it for self-defence, and the way she knocked him, looked like she too had learnt some form of martial art. Her eyes fluttered as her hair got into them, but they never, even for a second,  left their gaze from the man on the ground. She stood ready for any other movement, while quickly glanced at Daniel, who was standing a little behind her and shouted a little too loud to make him startle, "You okay?" she asked and without waiting or an answer, she added, " Look over him for few seconds. Do. Not.  Lose your attention for even a moment." 

She walked fast towards behind the trees, not losing sight of the men and quickly dialled a number on her phone. She talked in a very sharp yet hushed voice and said some words that Daniel was unable to grasp. Even the rustling of leaves made him startle. Shock and uncertainty crept out of his eyes yet he masked it under his gaze on the man that was sharp enough to break a rock. He stood still, yet alert, waiting for the man to wake or for Rose to return. The former was faster. The man laid on the road, clutching his nose, where his blood had dried out. His eyes were red and anger flowed out of them. The man tried to get up when Daniel warned him in an orotund voice, "Stay just where you are."

Rose had come back by then. She glanced at Daniel and he nodded indicating that everything was under control and in a low voice he asked if they should call the police. "I've already informed the officials, they must be here soon," she replied keeping her strong gaze on the man who was now clenching his teeth.

Soon a loud beam of sirens filled in the atmosphere of the forest. Two cars with sirens on their tops rushed towards them. The men came out of the car and Rose went towards them. Daniel too was now looking towards them when suddenly he felt a knife creep over his neck. They were distracted and the man had taken the opportunity of the fact and held his knife over Daniel's neck.

Suddenly Rose saw that and she rushed towards him but the man pulled him back alongside him. The cops now had their guns directed towards the man. Rose said in a loud and penetrating voice, "Do not hurt him!"
Daniel immediately hit the man in the ribs with his elbow. He had hit with a force so strong that the knife from his hand fell a lot behind him. Surprised from the attack, he still tried to process it, but by then Daniel had pulled him by his hand and knocked him down on the ground. A 5 point score, he thought to himself and chuckled.

The man groaned and laid straight on the road. Daniel spoke up, "You know you could've run away. You know? But no. You had the need to be the bad guy!" and left a muffled chuckle.
Rose scolded him," Not now, Daniel!"

Soon the men came, grabbed the man and drove away after some time. Rose and Daniel were left alone again in the forest. It did not seem as cosy as before but it still had some of its magic. 

"So," Daniel spoke looking towards Rose, "we had a day from some action book today, didn't we?" he asked as a small smile crept on his face.
"Umm-hmm", she said as she started walking forward.
"Has anyone ever told you how strong you are!" he said catching up to her.
"Yes, you did. Just now."
"I had enough shocks for today, you joking twice in a day is a shock that'll last for a week," he said while she scoffed as she stopped for a second.
"That was a nice save!" she said as she continued walking.
"At least that training came to any use!" he said as a smile crooked on his face. She forced a chuckle too.
"I didn't too expect that punch from you. That was really some very fast thinking." he casually added.
"Why?" she had a questioning look on her face.
"You do look very smart, but I didn't imagine you as a girl who can fight!"
"Is it because I don't swear or wear black?" she said with a 'You-are-in-trouble' look on her face and a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, I mean.... but it was really so impressive!" He couldn't make eye contact with Rose. He felt ashamed of what he had just said. You should think twice before speaking, was the response of his brain towards his situation.
"See this is what happens when you grow up watching cliche movies. A woman doesn't become strong by swearing or hating pink or purple. A strong woman is one who is brave enough to wear whatever she wants to! One can be strong and still apply nail paint. It shows that you are strong to be Yourself!"
"Wow! You surely raise the bar for women!" he said jokingly.

They walked together towards her car in a harmonious silence...

Phew! What a day they had! Both of them should join a fighting club. Rather not. But such a thrilling day!

Who was that man? Why were they behind them? Will they tell everyone what happened? Or keep it a secret between them?

Well, well, well. Won't we have to wait up to next week to find that? We probably would. Anyways, do comment your opinion on today's 'Expedition' and share as much as you can!
