CHAPTER 21: THE MAN WITH THE WHITE HORSE
She looked down into the cool water, her eyes focused on the salmon. Then contrary to her preparation, a salmon suddenly jumped up from the water, startling her, she reached out her hands to try to catch it, but her hand touched the wet and smooth skin, she flicked her hand to slipped and the trout plunged into the water and disappeared.
But then she herself couldn't hold it anymore, earlier due to excessive stretching and jumping in hopes of catching that trout, she staggered, her legs could no longer support her, causing her to fall backwards, into the lane. The stream is clear and cool.
She sat under the stream, her whole body soggy and her hair wet, she sat there and let the stream flow with its rhythm and murmur through her. She sighed softly, so what's in the movies is best not to believe, ten percent is likely to succeed in real life but the other ninety percent...

Then suddenly there was the sound of hooves coming from nowhere and it was coming very close, she immediately got up and was about to run to her sister when a huge shape stood in front of her.
She raised her head to observe: it was a handsome young man with a rather handsome face, white skin, blue eyes, blond hair. That guy in a polite t-shirt and jeans, he gently stroked his horse and then turned to her and asked:
"Miss, what are you doing here? And why are you all wet?"
He looked at her appearance with concern, she replied:
"Me and my sister unfortunately got lost here, I was looking for some food."
"Is that why you became like this?"
He asked smiling.
"No, I'm just going to catch fish."
"Where are you and your sister? Let me take you home."
"My sisters didn't have a home to come back, we got lost."
She replied and was about to leave when he said:
"What do you say? Lost?"
She turned to look at him confused. The wording she said was difficult to understand or why did he react like that? After a long while he steered his horse forward, then he held out his hand to her, saying:
"Go up, then show me where your sisters are. I'll help you get home."
"But I..."
She hesitated, but when she saw his imploring attitude, she accepted to get on the horse and sit behind the boy's back.
"Where are your sisters?"
He asked.
"It's about ten steps to get there."
She replied. He said nothing, steered the reins and the horse began to push the two forward, she sat in the back with her wet body, mind wandering aimlessly.
