Chapter 116

Charan stayed still for a while but then he could not take the eerie stillness of the forest. He was a city boy surrounded by motor sounds and horns even in the dead of the night. So this emptiness gave him creeps.

The sound of the wind and the rustling of the leaves surrounded him from all directions. But other than that, there was no noise of anything living and breathing for as long as he could see or hear. Just when he was struggling to get her on his back, he heard a rustling sound and Hank came into view. Charan let out a sigh of relief.

"This is where she will always come whenever she fought with her dad," Hank explained and helped him secured her on his back. He then led the way much to Charan's relief. If he hadn't come, Charan was sure to be in a lot of trouble.

Charan followed him without a word. His strides were much slower since he had Shreya at his back. He even stumbled in a few places.

"I can carry her…" Hank offered after a while.
