"So, we will go to this place tomorrow morning. Did you get me?" Professor Riyana Goyenka said to her students in her usual strict tone.

"Yes ma'am!" We all replied in same harmony, on same time.

"Good! Meet me at sharp 3:30am. If we were late, there was no chance to meet with them. It is the deadline of time. Am I making it clear to you?" She said in her strict voice, again.

"YES MA'AM!" With same energy we responded her again.

Honestly, she treated us like children. Sometime it was good and funny at the same time. But sometimes it was annoying.

Like We are now in 18 years, first year in Biotechnology college of Kolkata. Not kids anymore!

"Now go to your bed as fast as you can. Go go now." She said looking at some of her documents.

We went to our respective rooms obeying her words.  (***)

"Oh God we have to wake up at 2:30am. So there is no meaning of sleeping dear! Let's talk rest of the three hours." My dear best friend Niyati Chatterjee shouted annoyingly.

"No dear we have to sleep as we are all tired, we have many works tomorrow. So being a good girl let's sleep." I replied her with a smile.

"This is not fair yaar (friend)! We are now just in first year and we have nothing to do with this research work on genetics of Jarawa. We are just tourist. Why she expects many things from us!?" She was really annoyed now.

"First of all it is not genetics of Jarawa, it is DNA research of Jarawa tribes; they are researching on 'THE DNA REVOLUTION'." I corrected her.

"Whatever! I just don't care on which they are researching ! I just want to visit this place as a tourist not as a research scholar. What do we understand on this rubbish research? I even have no clear idea of DNA and GENETICS. So how will I understand this project? You know what Srijita Mukherjee, this is a stupid idea of Professor Riyana. We will never get anything from this. But yeah, our health and mind will be hampered." Niyati said angrily.

Now she was really very angry as she said my full name.

"Ok ok my dear just cool down and sleep. Let's just relax. You are hurting yourself with this anger." I started to pet her head and caressed her hair by sitting on her bed.

"No yaar (friend) seriously. They told us that it will be just an excursion tour, but now they are saying we will do a research project with the scholers. Hey, we don't know anything." She looked really upset.

"Silly we are not going to research with them we are just going to observed them. Why are you taking pressure dear! Just sleep now." I said in a soft voice while caressing her hair.

After few minutes of silly argument she went into a deep sleep.

She was really a baby, a 18 years old baby. When I saw her going to a deep sleep I put her head in a pillow slowly ; shifted my hand from her head and went near my bed and lied down on the bed.

I set my alarm on 2:30am and closed my eyes for some sleep.

********

"We almost reach to our destination." Professor Riyana said to her students, as some of them were sleeping on the bus.

"Thank God. This is really a hectic journey." Niyati said with tired voice.

"Yeah, it's almost 3 hours but still we are in the bus." I was also tired.

"I will sleep in my room after today's drama." She made a face.

"Ok dear." I felt her face really funny and started to laugh silently.

"Now please stop your laugh, I did not make my face that funny." Niyati got annoyed.

But I could not stop my laugh as her face was really funny, really one!

After ten minutes we reached our place. The whole area was securely covered by the wall of cement and many Indian army soldiers and Army officers covered the whole area as they were the only one whom the Jarawa tribe's people believed in. They only interacted with them and trusted them a lot. So these officers were always there to protect them from the civil people and vis-à-vis.

We got out from the bus and went to the place where Professor Riyana was talking with an army officer.

The all boys went to Professor Priyanshu Bose. He was telling them how to behave in front of the Jarawa.

"Strictly restricted area, is not it?" Niyati said while eyeing the whole place.

"Yes. After all they are very sensitive and becoming rear day by day." I said and looked at Professor Riyana as she was calling the whole student clan.

"Let's go." Niyati said.

"Yeah" I replied.

"So students he is the head of this department, Mr Anshuman Chauhan. From now he is our guide. You all have to listen him carefully and obey him strictly. Get my point?" Professor Riyana said in a dominating voice.

"Yes ma'am." We all said in a union.

"Ok, so students I am head of this tribe hospital. Here you can interact with the Jarawa peoples and take the blood samples also. But yes, you have to maintain some rules as you can't talk with them directly, you will tell this boy Samba, he knows their language; he will translate your talk in their language." Mr Chauhan said and introduced us with Samba.

Samba was short height, dark skined, slim figure boy, he had no hair in his head. He put a red shirt and black pant as his outfits.

"I think he is one of them, Jarawa." I whispered to Niyati.

"I guessed the same." She replied in a whisper.

"Another rule is don't go near the forest, not only Jarawa but also there are many wild animals roaming around this place. Last and the most important rule, switch off your phones and cameras. No electronic gadget is allowed here. Ok we are done with this introduction session. Now let's move to the entrance." He started to walk forward and we just followed him.

After reaching there the project holders and research scholars started their work, they were asking their questions and we were just listening them with full attention.

"This is not that bad as I am thinking." Niyati whispered with quite excitingly.

"See I told you; you would like it." I whispered and smiled.

After two and half hours we all, the non scholars got a break. So we were roaming the campus.

"Can we take the pictures of the forest side?" I asked one of the army officer who was there for some work.

"Yes you can take pictures of plants and all the forest but not the tribes. Before you go back to your bus we will check all of your cameras." The officer replied.

"Ok sir no problem." Niyati said.

"Let's check that place. It is looking nice." I said.

"Yeah!" Niyati replied.

We went to a place from where the forest area had started.

I could not believe myself, there were so many medicinal plants.

"Hey Yati look, we get a treasure! How many types of medicinal plants are here, yaar (friend)!" I said excitedly.

"Yeah dude! For us it is more than money, let's take pictures, we can show this to our practical ma'am. She will be very happy." Niyati started to click photos.

"Ok then you click pictures here, I am going to that side." I walked to some other place.

"Ok but don't go near the deep forest." Niyati warned me.

"Ok, don't worry."

I went to a place full of weeds, honestly this place was heaven to me! So many variety of medicinal weeds. Even I found some rare ones too; some were new to me and some were very common.

I took pictures and collected some of the weeds as the samples and kept those to my backpack.

I was so happy and excieted that I went to the forest place to find more.

I involved myself in the work so much that I did not see where I was going. Suddenly I started to see large trees around me as my concentration was on the ground where the weeds were present.

Have I come to that dense forest!? oh shit!

I started to panic. There was no network in my phone because of this remote area.

"I have to get out from this place as soon as possible, now is 1pm I need to get back before 4pm otherwise all will be in tension." I said to myself.

I started to walk in one direction. But the problem was each and every place was remaining same to me.

But still I did not give up and continued my walk.

After 2 hours of walking I found out that I was roaming in same place and from any where I started my walking I always reached on the same place again and again.

"Aguh!! I lost in the forest of Andaman." I said frustratedly.

"Oh God how will I get out from this forest. If none is successed to find me then I will be here forever and rot to dead." My tears were flowing from my eyes because of panic.

"Why I became that careless and not paid attention on where I was heading!? Aguh I was such a dumbo!" I was cursing my fate and myself.

Crack crack!!

Suddenly I heard some noise and I became alert.

Crack crack!!

Again! It was like the sound of walking on the dry leaves.

Is someone there!? But who and why in this dense forest?! Oh no is that any tribe or the wild animal?

I turned my face to that direction but could not see anyone.

"I should move from this place as soon as possible."

I walked from that place as fast as possible.

But when I started to walk I felt that someone was following me.

I turned my face back but saw none.

I increased my speed and continued to walk faster.

As much as I increased my speed that thing started to follow me on the same speed which I had.

Just then I stared to run like a manic. I ran for 15 minutes and then turn my face for watching my back while running in a same speed.

Suddenly I collided with some hard wall or stone.

"AAH!" I cried out panicking.

When I got my balance and opened my eyes I saw a person, or I could say a man, well build body, tall, dirty black skined, badly dirty messy hair, and most importantly fully naked!!

"Why the hell!!" I screamed aloud by seeing this fully naked man in front of me.

He seemed like get shocked by hearing my scream.

"Let me go!" By saying this I ran from there with the double speed. I did not care if any animal was there or not I just wanted to go away from this naked man as soon as possible! I was so embarrassed.

While running like a manic I did not see that a large root of a tree came from the ground and made a small circle on my running path. My leg got stuck there; I could not hold my body balance anymore and I fell down on that hard ground and because of my unfortunate fate my ankle got twisted.

Then and there a sharp pain hit on my nerves.

"AAH!!" I screamed in the pain.

Just then I heard a sound of growl from my front brush wood.
Slowly I got up from the place with my twisted ankle and lend my back on a tree log.

A wild large pig was dangerously coming towards me.

Wow!!! Great! Now my survival rate decrease to 0%. Oh God what I have done that you are punishing me like this?? First that naked cave man and now this large wild pig, I am going to die! Love you mom, dad, Niyati, never forget me!

Tears were flowing from my eyes. That animal was ready to attack me in any moment. It jumped towards me and I closed my eyes in fear waiting for my death.

Just then I felt a something was passed and went in front of me.

After one minute of feeling nothing I opened my eyes.

That cave man was in front of me and his back was facing me. He hold the wild pig with his hands and fought with it. I was so shocked by seeing this scene.

I took that opportunity and slowly shifted from that place; he was so busy in fighting that he did not notice me.

When I got my track I began to run with my twisted ankle. I was so in pain and could not step my feet properly. But fear of being killed was giving me the strength to run.

But suddenly I felt the presence of someone's following.

Oh shit! He noticed my absence! Now I am so dead. I have to run fast.

But because of my bad luck that cave man jumped in front of me and grabbed me in his iron grip!

I was so shocked and numb to react in his grip.

"Let me go, get away from me you cave man!!" I screamed in fear and started to struggle in his grip. But it did not affect him at all.

He was staring at me with a amused face and was observing my actions.

Suddenly he put me on his shoulder and started to run.

I could not believe it, I could not believe in my fate.

I am going to be some cave man's dinner today!! Wow just awesome! I, Srijita Mukherjee came to Andaman for doing some research work with my college mates and now I am going to be some cave man or Jarawa's dinner! Wow what a great fate I have!!

I really hated this place! I was still struggling on this shoulder but it did not bother him at all.

After few minutes of his running we came in front of a water fall. He came behind the water fall where a big cave was present. If I was in my normal state so I would appreciate the beauty of the place.

He went to the cave and carefully put me down on the cold and dam floor of the cave.

My watch was showing me 5pm of the evening. The sunset was done long ago and the darkness was consuming the whole place.

After putting me on the floor that naked cave man started to ignited the dry woods which were there on the cave.

So he knows the use of fire. Now great I am going to be someone"s dinner!!

He put the fire on the middle of the cave and near my place. I was in so much pain and my brain was imagining many fearful things.

Suddenly I felt a touch on the twisted ankle. I jerked up from my place.That naked cave man was touching and observing my leg.

What the hell is he doing? If he wants to eat me that do it fast, I can't take this tension anymore!

His actions were making me confused.

When he noticed me watching over him with shocked and confused face he shifted from me and went to the other side of the cave wall and lend his head on it and stared at me.

I also lend my back on the opposite wall of him. We both were facing our face.

The water drops of the water fall were coming from the open side of the cave and gave a cold sensesation. I stared to feel cold and this coldness was making my pain worst.

I lied down on the floor and kept my head on my backpack.

The cave man never left his eyes from me. I was watching the fire which was the only source of warmth.

Slowly my eyes became heavy and darkness consumed my vision.

*******

I felt a sharp light on my face and opened my eyes slowly by adjusting with the light. I felt something hold me closely with itself, I woke up with a jerk and turn my face to the other side.
The cave man was holding me with his arms!

What the hell!! Such a pervert cave man! I have to get out from this damn place. I can't believe his actions!

He was still in his deep sleep. I put his hands down from my body and slowly stood up from that place with a disgust face!

I took my bag which was on the floor beside the man.

So literally I slept on his arms whole night. Just great!

My pain was same as it was yesterday. I slowly started to walk towards the exit of the cave and got out from that cave. The sun rays was falling on the water drops of that waterfalls and made it so beautiful!

I wish I can be here with my bestie!

Suddenly I heard noises from my behind. It was him. He was awake now.

He was coming towards me; I stared to walk fast but my leg slipped on the water of the water falls and I fell into the pond which was created beacuse of the water falls!

Oh no! I can't swim!

I was drowning in the water. It was really deep.

I was losing my consciousness. But suddenly someone hold my hand and pulled me toward him.

He hold my body and pull me out of the water.

It was him! Again he saved me from this.

Just then I saw him properly. The water of the falls made his face clear and camparedly clean.
He had really a fair skin and dark hair, he had light green eyes just like grey colour!

I was staring at him with wide eyes.

He can't be a cave man or Jarawa! He is just like us, a civil human. But why he is behaving like them!

He pulled me from the water in bridal style and put me down beside the pond. I was drying myself on the sunlight and he was staring at me and made a distance between us.

Just then I understood something.

So he was keeping me warm whole the night with his body heat. And I was giving him bad names. I am feeling really bad for that.

I looked at his eyes and extended my hand towards him and touch his shoulder. He was shocked and then became amused and then quite happy. As if I accepted him as a friend.

By noticing his actions I got one thing clearly. He was not aware about civil behaviours and he did not know how to speak. That's why he was naked.

I put my bag in front of me and got my stole out. My bag was water proved so it was not that wed from the inside.

I went near him and made him stand on that spot and wrapped my stole on his waist, so that his private portion got hidden and I did not have to be embarrassed.

After some fail attempts we were successful in communicating with each other by sign languages.

I told him my name and told him to try it.

He was trying his best and after many fail attempt he could tell it unclear.

After two hours of interaction I told him my journey and requested him to made me reach to my destination.

At first he was not agree to do that but seeing my tears and sad face he agreed with a sad face. As if I was the only friend of him.

Where is his clan people? Is he alone in this place? But how!

He took me on his back as I was unable to walk in his speed in this worst state.

After 1 hour of running he was able to find out the tribe hospital place and put me down on a place which was a bit far from the hospital.

I told him to come with me but he refused.

I went near the hospital and faced a tensed situation.

Niyati was begging the officer to fine me in any cost while crying aloud. Professor Riyana and professor Priyanshu were trying to make her stable. All my classmate put a sad look on their face.

Wow! Today I feel really special and wanted.

I came near Niyati.

"Don't cry Yati, I am alive and back!" I said to Niyati who looked at my direction shocked.

Her face was showing many emotions, anger, happiness, fear.

"How dare you Miss Srijita Mukherjee! Do you know how much we are afraid when you were gone missing? Have you any idea in which we are going through?! Do you have any idea how much I was upset and afraid of losing you? I thought I would never going to see you again!! You careless dumbo!!" Niyati shouted in anger!

"Please Niyati clam down, she is here now." Professor Riyana said with a relief voice.

"I am really sorry everyone. I was just so involve in this nature that I did not saw my surroundings." I apologised to them.

"What happened to your leg? And why are you all wet?" Niyati asked me by touching my leg and checked me out.

"It was just, I fell on the forest." I did not said the truth in front of everyone. But I would say this to Niyati in private, latter.

"Ok dear, let's go to our hotel, you need treatment and rest. Even we all need these." Professor Priyanshu said this to me and Niyati.

Just then I realized how much hungry I was now.

"Even Niyati did not eat a single corn of food because of you." Professor Riyana said.

"I am sorry Niyati." I was upset, because of me everyone had suffered a lot.

"It is really miracle, none can get out from this forest because of the wild animals. But you are really a fortunate one." Head of the department Mr Anshuman Chauhan.

"How did you do this impossible work Srijita?" Head of the department asked.

"My lucky stars, I guess." I didn't tell them about him.

More precisely, I can't!

"Ok now students let's get in the bus." Professor Priyanshu said.

"Okay sir."

I turned my face towards the forest to see my saviour's last glimpse. But he was nowhere to be found.

I think he go back to his own world, his own place. Good bye friend. I wish we will meet again in the future and stay friends forever.

I got into the bus and sat beside my bestie's seat. The bus started it's engine for the destination.

**********

Behind a large tree two light green eyes were still watching the girl who was with him few hours ago in the forest. The bus started to move towards the roads of the civil, social habitat of the humans, far away from this dense forest.

But he was still watching that direction.

"S..Sr.Sri..Sriji..Srijita.!" He whispered to himself by holding the stole of that girl tightly, the first gift from the first friend of his life.
