Raju had recovered though there was a strong and painful throb in his side. He suspected he may have bruised his ribs. There had been worst injuries to him before. Raju went after the English chaser who had unfortunately snagged the Quaffle. Not before he sent a grateful look at Nila. She was always looking out for him.

Raju shot past Mayur and a few other players. Alas, the Quaffle was well out of his reach and headed Priya. Raju gritted his teeth with tenseness. "Aao, Priya. Shot blok karen."


Translation: Come on, Priya. Block the shot.
