What Happened Back Then? (2)

As the couple followed deeper into the mountainous region, the eerie silence continued to increase even further.

Normally, as one went deeper into any kind of forest or a mountain, one would hear various noises and calls of birds and other animals.

But in this place, although they were able to hear some birds' calls on the outer perimeter, but as they walked further in, there was just complete silence.

"Don't you find that this is really a bit weird?"

As they continued to walk deeper and the sound of the waterfalls was getting louder, the lady asked her husband.

"What?"

Hearing his question, the lady frowned.

There was this weird feeling that had been rising in her heart ever since they came here and now that they were so deeper into the mountain, that feeling only continued to increase until she just couldn't hold it anymore and felt as I she was being suffocated.

"This place just feels eerie."
