Maya is about to get stabbed from behind by a sword but she grabbed the sword before it could even touch her outer robes. She was so quick in her reflex which made herself surprised. She turns and is now facing Kalki. She looks at him coldly while her hand held his sword in its place.
A sinister chuckle escaped from the shadow but Maya felt Kalki still pushing the sword towards her.
Maya grunts in fury "Have you lost your mind?!"
"Indeed! Who would stab one's wife with so much hate?!"
The shadow's voice made Maya mad and she pulls the sword from Kalki's grip abruptly. She could say he was not in his right mind by the way he let the sword slip from his grip. She has seen his in a war and she could tell this much about him now.
In next moment, she was about to attack the shadow with the sword but she was grabbed by someone from the behind.
