Episode - 4. Let's taste the magic of love...

The bus left both of them in the middle of the forest and disappeared. The boy is so frustrated, he is not able to think properly... The flashing in his mind is- because of some stupid girl he is facing chaos and he is fuming with anger and doesn't know what to do.

He was very frustrated and shouted out of anger

" See what you have done! The only way for us to go back- also left us and went away ! Now how will we go back ...? "

He is shouting, fists clenched.

The girl didn't bother. Instead, she went straight to the tree with fruits.

"You aren't even listening.."

Still nothing. He had no words to speak.

With a determined huff, she bent her knees and jumped.

Her fingertips brushed the branch but couldn't reach.

Again and again she tried, every time she failed.

The tree was too high for her.

The boy is watching the show... Sighs dramatically "Move."

He rolled up his sleeves. "I'll do it."

He backed up a few steps, measured the distance, and jumped towards the tree.

Jump.

His fingers grabbed the branch--but only for a heartbeat.

Crack.

The branch snapped.

"Oh no---"

He came crashing down.

The girl looked up just in time.

Thud.

She had no time to respond. In a spur of a moment he landed directly on top of her.

They both were facing each other very closely...

They could even feel each other's breath...

They were staring at each other subconsciously...

The girl is blushing... her cheeks turned red and couldn't speak anything... When the leaves from the tree are falling down slowly on the ground... Only two of them are in an intimate way ...

The boy felt the first feeling in his life... his heart is pounding, and his heart rate is increasing rapidly... Meanwhile

The girl was pushing the boy and shouting

" Get off....Get off me..! "

" What are you doing? Don't even try to touch me!'

He was like " Jesus...! Looks like you really went mad, what are you thinking, If I really want to touch you why will I wait till now, something should've happened that day in the tent itself... Crazy girl ...! "

The boy thinks " What a day for me... " in himself, and gets off her with a smirk on his face.

The girl ignored him, saw a fallen fig, examined it curiously and took a big bite.

Her eyes widened with a genuine smile appeared on her face.

Looking at her enjoying her fruit so sincerely, he felt calm and his irritation melted.

" I guess," he said reluctantly " getting thrown off the bus wasn't the worst thing." his mind cleared.

Later, they both were walking in the way the bus left, they were hoping to find a way back home or at least a vehicle.

The girl was tired " Still how much we need to walk."

He replied " If not for you we would've been near my town. "

" Will stop pointing me always " she replied.

As they argued, a loud SNORT! echoed from nearby bushes.

Both froze.

Another snort.

The bushes shook violently.

Both of them slowly turned their heads.

Out stepped an enormous wild pig, It'Itsddy skin is flashing in the sunlight. It pawned the ground and stared directly at them.

Both blinked eyes.

The pig let out an angry noise.

" ..Run "

The girl didn't need to be told twice.

Within seconds she disappeared from there. The boy froze, searching for her, he looked back, she was already running

"So fast ?! "

The wild pig is chasing them, smashing all the bushes coming across the way.

"Why is it so FAST?!" She glanced back once.

Then, in panic she made a sharp turn, straight towards the even denser part of the forest.

His eyes widened "Wrong way!"

She kept running " we're escaping the pig, not entering it's house."

Branches slapped against their faces. Vines wrapped around their legs.

It's the dead end. The path disappeared completely.

SNORT!!

The pig burst through the bushes.

They have no way to go. Pig frowned angrily, coming near to them, the girl couldn't hold it anymore and all of a sudden she jumped on the boy's waist with fear.

The boy couldn't hold her. He fell the ground straight onto the pig.

It was hurt and ran away.

When they both realized and opened their eyes, the pig ran away. Both of them felt relieved.

But the boy's back was hurting badly, because all of a sudden she jumped onto him and he fell on the ground.

Boys shouts--

" Are you crazy...! Why did you jump on me, And also... I never thought you were that heavy... with your slim personality... I almost died today ..! "

" Now I came to know the real meaning of WE CANNOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER..! "

The girl feels sorry for him that she couldn't help herself in that situation...

Again they started walking to find their way back... Later after sometime the evening felt dark....

It was cloudy, it was a night that was covered with dark clouds all over,....

In the forest...

They were alone...

And it can definitely become a scary night for them.

Thunder rolled across the mountains with enough force to make the trees shiver.

The first raindrops were gentle.

Then the sky seemed to split apart.

Rain crashed through the forest in silver sheets, soaking the narrow path within moments.

The boy looked at the dark clouds.

" Fantastic."

The girl stood beside him, blinking at the rain as though she'd never seen a storm before.

Another flash of lightning lit the forest.

CRACK!

She jumped and instinctively grabbed the back of his shirt.

he glanced over his shoulder.

"... You're afraid of thunder?"

She didn't answer.

Instead, her finger tightened their grip.

He couldn't help smiling.

He laughed.

"That face isn't scary."

Another rumble echoed through the valley.

She immediately hid behind him again.

"... You're actually adorable."

She lightly smacked his arm in protest.

"Ow! Violence?" he teased. " So, you can fight people, but thunder is your greatest enemy?"

She came distant, folded her arms and looked away.

A second later--

BOOM!

She immediately came behind him, holding his shirt.

He chuckled so hard, he nearly forgot about the rain.

By the time darkness settled over the forest., they were drenched.

The boy managed to pitch a small tent.. There wasn't much space, enough for two.

Outside rain is pouring heavily.

Inside, the lantern cast spreads the warm amber glow.

The boy spreads two blankets.

"You sleep over there" he pointed in one blanket.

" Ok, I'll take this one." The obediently curled up in her corner, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket.

The light from the lantern is slowly turning down.

Darkness spreads all over slowly.

Outside, the storm continues its restless song.

Wind pulls the fabric of the tent. Rain tapped against every side.

Then--

BOOOOM!

The thunder exploded directly overhead.

The boy Opened his eyes.

"You awake?"

She with a trembling voice " Y.. Yes !"

"Are you alright?"

She replied " Ye..Yes...!" murmuring in herself " I guess"

He says " If you are afraid you can come to me, no need to prove that you are brave."

She replies " I am alright " facing her back to him, rolled in her blanket.

He sighs " Huhh.. As you wish "

Later when the boy is half asleep, he feels something is off. He opened his eyes slowly.

The girl was sitting beside his sleeping roll, hugging her knees.

She stared at him uncertainly.

Another flash of lightning BOOM!

Her heart jumped, shoulders shivered.

He gently asked " Still scared?"

She nods slowly. He sighs

You don't have to sit on the cold floor. Come here patted at the place beside him.

She hesitated.

" Come here."

Slowly she climbed over at the edge of his blanket uncomfortably.

He smiled to himself.

" So polite? I remember you were not like this back then" teasing her.

She pulled the blanket up to her nose.

Another thunder echoed through the trees.

Without thinking, she hugged him closely.

He asked " If you are that scared why act brave, you should have told me earlier"

He laughed

" Silly"

Actually liked it a bit, his smile looked peaceful around her. Protecting her.

She felt secure and warm around him.

The girl was gradually relaxed. Falling asleep slowly near him.

But the boy... Instead of sleeping he is looking at her, staring...

He whispers " I hope this scene lasts long " and closes his eyes.

Slowly he also fell asleep. He wants to secure the feeling life long.

Outside the storm raged on.

Inside the tent held a quiet, growing trust between two strangers whose shared journey had only just begun.

Love can start easily... But The only difficult thing is realising it, accepting it and with a little dare expressing it. Let's see our male lead is in the state of realising it or ignoring it.
