Avneet : go and get freshened up, take a shower and rest for a few hours to that lodge.

I nodded.

Siddharth : Yes ma'am!

Avneet : enjoy this fresh air.

I listened carefully, except for some chirping birds and wind swooping through tree-tops, it was peacefully calm.

Avneet : can you hear that?

Siddharth : What? I don't hear anything!

Avneet : Exactly, this is heaven peaceful.

I smiled and took my luggage and followed her inside to the lodge for government researcher.

She had already rented a room for herself for last week.

I got to choose any of the three available rooms, and I chose the one beside Avneet's.

As she told me we will stay here for sometime.

Avneet : see you later then! Rest properly.

Avneet smiled and went inside her room.

All the time thinking about Avneet, and how today she had appeared so different than I remembered her.

Cold water ran down my face as my brain digested the facts I had learned so far.

I came out of the shower and shook my head to clear it of swirling negative thoughts,

I was already here and might as well just go with it.

Moreover my body was rejecting to move anymore.

I simply threw the towel on the floor and sprawled naked on the bed and fell asleep before even my head hit the pillow.

Next early morning,

She told me to collect everything needed.

A satellite phone.
Torches
Batteries
A gun (for emergency)
Maps
Guide for language to communicate.
And tent.

Siddharth carry most of the things are they are ready to walk in.

They begins their trip and They walked into the forest.

About 20 minutes later,

I am talking with Avneet, that how this will change her life.

And we both were bushwalking like we are on a trekk through one of the thickest rainforest covers of the forest in Tamil Nadu.

Me with my backpack with tents. I am carrying two tents.

When, Avneet had a carry bag of food, when she told me we will get fruit trees in this forest so food wont be issue.

Stay tuned
