I came out after a long bath actually I was trying to avoid Luna. Walk in the forest is kind of not a great idea. Including being a snack of Tiger I totally don't accept.
I came out and saw Luna waiting for me.
She said "What did you think? If you take a lots of time in the bath I will let you slip?"
"That was the plan." I said.
She pulled me out of the house and then we proceeded towards the forest. I saw that the forest was amazing.
The connection with the mother nature herself is too good. It looked very beautiful. The flowers had a very nice smell. I liked that smell near my nose. The fresh air also felt nice. It was blowing my wet, recently cut hairs. Walking with a bestie felt nice.
Luna looked at me and asked "So, you forgot everything but the feelings don't change. What kind of man do you like?" She smiled.
That was quite an abrupt question "Wh...uhhhh....ummm...I don't know."
"Just think of a man you would give your life to."
"Okay....hmmmm lemme think." I took a slight break. A picture of a man started forming in my head.
"A man who is brave, intelligent and respects woman. He must be a little funny as well. I am a very bad speaker so, he can help me with the speaking portion. He should be handsome though not important but it would feel nice to always have a handsome man beside me." I answered after a while of thinking.
Luna looked at me and started blinking "You want....A man? Or a God? A man can never have all these qualities together."
"We'll see. Because I know everyone has a soulmate. We always explain our soulmate unconsciously." I said though I didn't know if that was even true.
"Not True, Not possible and Not happening." She answered and we kept walking.
The forest was calm with slow and soft breeze around us. The leaves on the trees rustled.
"Should we go back?" I asked "It is getting dark. We must go back."
"Do you think you are tasty?" Luna asked.
"I am a flesh and tigers loves flesh so, yeah I am tasty as hell." I answered her.
"See you were found in this same forest at night and no tiger ate you. Which means you are not tasty or all the tigers are on a diet." Luna and her silly theories. Not to mention never right.
"The forest is calm, see?" Luna tried to build courage.
"This seems like the silence before thunder." I was truly scared.
"Come on build up your courage." Luna said.
"Courage and Tiger has no relation. Sometimes using your brain is the courage you need." I answered her obviously.
We still kept walking when we suddenly heard leaves of Bush rustling.
"I am going bye!!!" I was scared and left the forest immediately.
I kind of ran and Luna also came behind me.
We both reached the village and now I took a deep breath.
"Hey why did you run off?" Luna still asked me that silly question.
"Leaves were rustling and it was a forest enough for me to dream of tiger." I went home.
I sat very loudly on the bed. Granny Cora was cooking and I slept on the bed thinking.
"You met a tiger?" Granny Cora asked.
"Kinda."
"you are not sure it was a tiger?"
"leaves rustling in the forest? Enough for me."
"come here." Granny Cora asked me to go to her.
"I don't know cooking. Why would I come?"
"Why do you think I am calling you? You don't know how to cook and that is a problem." as much as I hated Granny Cora's words but they were true.
I walked to her and tried to cook according to instructions.
The cooking was hard as expected but done.
We sat to eat. Granny Cora ate and asked "I asked you to put a little salt, how much did you put?"
"You said little salt so, I thought you asked me to put little than rice."
"By little I meant one pinch. And now this food is wasted. Too much salt in it." She said.
Now she produced one more bowl of rice. She said "Never take a risk. You don't know how to cook so, I don't expect you to learn on your first day."
I appreciated her and started eating after praying. This praying thing came naturally from inside. It must be something I practised a lot I guess. I was given a nice training I suppose.
We ate and went to sleep. I let Granny Cora take the bed and I myself took the ground.
SOMEWHERE AROUND THE KINGDOM...
"Sky!!! Night Sky. Amazing. Look at the stars Luke." Said a man.
"You know, you've been running too much from boss Andy."
"Boss tch!! I am an assassin who kills bad people not murder good people."
"You know he will find you one day and once he does, you know the rules."
"No one can be as good as me with swords."
"Andy!!!!"
He didn't seem interested so, even Luke didn't do anything.
Andy was a handsome man looking free. He was like a free bird whom no one can cage. The boss who he was running from was actually dangerous and Andy was his best man.
Andy was a powerful yet disciplined fighter. He killed people but ethics were most important to him.
He is not into murdering good people but will surely attack them if paid well but not kill a good man. He can just attack him.
Luke was his bestie. He was with him always. It is like they both were brothers. They both worked for the same boss but when they were ordered to murder a man brutally they ran away from that place.
This thing truly p!ssed off there boss. The boss has been searching to kill them since then but whenever he sent his men Andy always killed them. No one could even take a single hair back from him.
No wonder he was the best man. They have never really had a home. They both were orphans and had been taken in by their boss and trained as killers. There were many like them and no one ever developed any ethics except they were programmed to kill and not feel sympathy but somehow Andy developed a strong sense of ethics and sympathy therefore even being the best the boss had hard time with him.
"Andy, how about we leave this kingdom and travel east to settle down."
"Nice idea Luke. We will travel two days after because we have a lots of preparations to make.
BACK AT VILLAGE....
I was sleeping quite peacefully when heard a voice. I woke up because of that voice.
The voice was too loud and the whole village woke up.
I went out and saw everybody in terror. I tried to see what happened and saw a Tiger.
"Tiger!!!! Here!!! How?"
Granny Cora came out behind me and said "Might have followed you and Luna here."
"I knew it wasn't a nice idea to visit the forest." I ran towards the villagers.
The Tiger was right infront of us. All the men took out their bow and arrow to kill the Tiger.
"Wait!! We shouldn't hurt it afterall he has a life too." I said. I really was sympathetic towards the Tiger. It must have a family behind how can we kill it?
"Do you have any better idea?" A man said.
I looked around and said "As a matter of fact, I do have an idea in which we will scare off the Tiger and wouldn't have to kill it."
"What will happen if it returns." The same man asked.
"I have an idea for that too."
