ADAM AND EVE

I was sitting on a log of wood. It was warm and dry. According to Adan it was one of the few trees which he had successfully cut-off in the last 700 pots.

(What the hell happened before this?)

The guy we found.

'Or rather he found us.'

He was Adam. He was living here for the last 'four thousand pots' (?) along with Eve, the lady. They had woken up in this jungle with the same conditions as us. Somewhere along the way Eve developed romantic feelings for Adam. Adam too liked her and they decided that they would wait here.

'Or spend the rest of their lives here.'

They woke up in this beautiful place, unlike us. Adam was first and then Eve came. Adam doesn't remember anything about the way he might have come here and nor does Eve, like us. However, unlike us they feel like they are the residents of this place (whatever that maybe). They had never seen anyone before apart from each other.

(The pot question)

They have figured out a way to measure the time in this place. The amount of time taken to fill one huge pot is equal to 12 hours (they didn't know about hours, it was my guess). After every pot is completely filled Adam marks the trees around the place. There were four thousand present as he had been doing it ever since he arrived here. After marking they have a meal.

They get most of their needs from the forest, and for everything that they can't get from the forest they go to a 'sacred place' and 'pray to their god', who provides everything for free. All they have to do is think about their needs and the need is fulfilled.

After every two pots the sky turns darker and they think that it's the time to sleep.

"More drinking?"—Eve.

"No…thanku"—girl.

We were sitting on the log I mentioned before. Eve was very happy to see us, but Adam was a bit suspicious. He was looking at me like if I was a thief or a criminal. It was mental interrogation.

When Adam first saw us he was shocked but then Eve found us all and was very excited to see us. She had never seen anyone besides Adam.

'I mean honestly if I had to live with a guy like him and that kind of expression, I would draw myself a human being.'

Also, their language was a bit different.

"So you people…movish?"—Adam said.

"Yeah…yeah we are moving."—me.

"We are going that way."—girl.

She pointed towards the direction we had started flying when we began.

"Gooding gooding"—Eve.

We were sitting like that for some time and then Adam suggested that we should get ready for the dark time. He was referring to the period when the sun was covered. He had to get wood for fire and he asked me to accompany him. This was the first time he had smiled at me and I felt that the interrogation look was making me feel way better than this freakishly weird smile.

'Eve has a weird taste in men.'

'But she didn't really had a lot of choice.'

We walked into the other side of the forest. He started picking up branches that had fallen down from the trees. He was silent and so serious. His face was glowing with wisdom. I was staring at him for a few seconds when I noticed his wisdom glow. Then he looked at me the same way he was looking at me near the cottage.

"That's it, buddy"—me. I dropped the wood logs I had collected and turned at him.

"What is your problem?"—me.

He looked at me with a confused look. (he didn't drop his logs)

"no..no..problemo."—Adam.

"Naa…there is something that you are not telling me."—me.

I walked up to him and placed my hand on his shoulder like a really close friend.

"I feel …I feel fearish."—Adam.

"Fear?...of me?"—me.

"Yessing"—Adam.

"I feel …Eve like you now…not me..You."—me.

'Insecurity'

'Because of me!'

"what?...no…no…Eve is…Well Eve is good…you know. She is GOOD."—me.

"But she is not my type…me no like Eve…"—me.

"thanku."—Adam.

"there you go pal…all good now."—me.

Adam's facial expressions changed from 'where is the money you bastard?, to 'you are my only friend in the world.' He was more comfortable with me now than before.

"She loves you pal, don't worry"—me.

I thought of her as I said it to Adam.

"Is you like that other girl?"—Adam.

"other girl?...oh…OHHH…um…Yeah why not."—me.

'what?'

'she would never know.'

I imagined her face if she ever found out about this.

('you bastard…piece of shit pervert'—girl.)

I realised that Adam was more nice to me now so I decided to have some more dude talk with him.

"So…Adam…do you and Eve? You know…ever do…ever do fun stuff?"—me.

He was a little confused but then he said smiling,

"Yes"—Adam.

"Yeaaah….that's my boy."—me.

"okay tell me about it in detail."—me.

"oka..oka..I go to cottage when it is dark and she come cottage when it is dark. We sleep on the floor. She turns back to me. And then I hold her shoulders and we sleep."—Adam.

"that's it?"—me.

Adam nodded.

Adam was thinking that whatever he was doing was all of it. In reality his actions didn't even count that much. I was shocked. I needed to step up and do the right thing.

'teach him'

"oh boy…you need a lot of lessons friend. You don't know what you are missing."—me.

I gave Adam a crash course on love making for as long as we were there.

Man was that a tough job. I felt like I would have to do it and maybe then he would understand a little.

But that was not an option. He would cut me first and then she, my travel-mate would cut me.
