Bondage perils in the Indian jungle


My wife and I, we were on a mission trip in South India. One day our Indian missionary mate Chahna Sundaram invited us to make a trip into the Indian jungle. She had heard about a hidden Kali temple which only was known by some native villagers and wanted to explore the place. In a nearby village we actually found a guide told us that he knwe quite well the place we were searching for. He told us that the secret temple was located  just some 7 kilometres from the village in the jungle. Completely unsuspecting and quite thrilled in expectation of a fascinating jungle adventure we followed our guide into the deep jungle. We were walking for more or lesse an hour and were penetrating deeper and deeper into the wilderness. The women and I we got more and more exhausted by the sticky and humid jungle air and our blouses and shirt were soaked with sweat. As were walking aldready were walking for a long time my wife asked our guide when finally we would reach our destination...


Instead of an answer, our guide turned around and suddenly we were at knife point. Completely appalled my wife rose up her hands to show our complete surrender and submission.

"Are you crazy. What does this mean? What, what...?"
"Change of plan, ladies. I guess the sissy here won't have the courage to defend you. Would be much healthier for him, haha.
 And now move and cross your hands behind theses trees. I've a lot of plans for for you, hahaha.



The two women and I, we did as we were told to do and stand against some trees, our writsts crossed behind our back. Our captor pulled some rope out of his trouser pockets and my wife was the first one to be tied up. I stood with my body pressed against the tree and had no courage to fight or even to flee. I felt powerless and completely humiliated. I knew that as an inoffensive Christian missionary and marriage bound husband I would be absolutely no match for these brutal and strong-willed guy.

"Listen, we we've some cash. Please take it and let us go!"
"No way. You'll get what you deserve. A man must be able to defend his wifes. And the sissy here don't even have the courage
  to fight for you. But I'll show you what a real man's like."
"Please, we're Christians. We believe in love and peace. Let us go, please. For heavens sake."
"Hahaha. Christs. Hahaha. That's only for weak ones! I only believe in the right of the strong one. I'll take what I want. Hahaha"
"Oh Jesus. Please, let us go. Don't do us any harm."
"No way. We'll have a lot of fun. You two will know a real man and Mr. Weakman here will witness it. "

So we stood there, awaiting our fate, hoping once again to be saved by the Lord, against all odds, at the very last moment...
