" Don't be so childish. It was your choice to go easy on me, I didn't tell you ", Said Aranya as she keep drawing on his face while laughing at him for being so childish.
He was annoyed, annoyed to see how smart she was to not even lose for one time, it really was too much for him.
" Let's end it here, I am sure you will lose again if you play with me ", Said Aranya smirking.
" No! let's play one more time. I am sure I will win this time and you will lose ", He was stubborn to play again and again even after knowing that he would gonna lose no matter how much he tries.
" Don't blame me if you lose again then ".
She liked the current him, the one who was acting his age and was conformable with her presence rather than the one who's always cold and cunning towards her and shooting daggers.
The carriage halt suddenly and Aranya was quick to catch on it. She look out the window and surprisingly....the sun has already set and the location...
The horse coachmen jump down as he approach the carriage. " Miss Aranya, we have reached the village...would you like to stop here or should we keep traveling? ", He asked her.
He himself didn't wanted to travel any further as the night had fallen and it was dangerous to travel further in the night. However, since he was responsible to take the young miss to the capital, he would listen to whatever she says.
" Let's set here today. It must be a hard journey for you as well, so we better stay here for the night ", Said Aranya.
They were in Kaon village at the moment, a village know for its great production for the gain and other vegetables.
Aranya and Jammy get out of the the carriage and head straight towards the nearest Inn. It was important for them to get a reservation into the inn as they did not wish to stay outside in the cold.
The village sure was known greatly. They reserve two rooms in the inn and decides to get all their stuff back as this village was known for the stealing as well.
The three coachmen deliver everything in their rooms and did not miss a single thing.
" You guys rest as well ", Aranya tell the three to rest for the night as tommorow's journey would be even more hectic than this one.
The inn was big in size. Since they were in the village, the inn itself was made from the wood and consist like that of a old style...
Everything inside was of wood, like every single thing. The in owner was looking at them suspiciously as they did not the book the single room but two instead.
Aranya and Jammy didn't care and headed to their rooms instead.
After coming to the inn, she was strongly satisfied.
" Hmm! at least one good happened today ", She thought to herself and she sit across the bed.
And gaze over her stuff. It was little hard for her to get all her stuff which was hidden from everyone and she was little worried that someone might peek into it but fortunately....no one looked at her suspiciously.
She was trying to catch some breath when her stomach started to growl. She realised that she had not eat anything for the whole day...
" Why does human need to eat regularly? can't I just stay without eating for a day or two ", She was just not in the mood to go anywhere. All she wanted to do at the moment was to just sit down and go to sleep and then wake up the next morning.
She was about to give up the thought of eating anything for tonight when she heard a knock on the door.
She get and open the door, and saw jammy Lukan standing in front of her, waving at her as if he was looking at some beautiful flower.
" Should we head out? am sure you are hungry ".
He hit the bulls eyes without even knowing...no, he did it intentionally.
" Wait for ten minutes, I need to get ready ".
She left him in the room and went to the washroom. No matter how old the style of the inn was, but there was no way there were not any bathrooms.
Every room had every service that a person would need while staying. so it was easy for anyone to get what they wanted.
" What a fearless girls, how can she just leave a man in her room...".
He thought to himself.
It was not a problem but he just didn't know if he should call her stupid or naive. She had no self-realization at all, no women would dare to invite less having them in her bedroom but Aranya was different.
She didn't care if he was sitting in her bedroom or wherever...all she care was, he was her ally and nor less or more than that.
She had packed all her clothes before she leave. She change into new clothes emigetly and come out. He was looking looking at the floor as if thinking about something deeply and she did not get him at all.
" Hey! should we go ", Said Aranya as she come out of the washroom.
" Umm! yeah...Let's go ".
The both of them come out of the inn. Even though it was evening....the streets were still lighten up with the magical stones. Not only that, but the villagers were even roaming around the village freely as they had no fear for the werewolf and had their own protection.
" I thought....all people would be in their own houses and lock the door inside because of the fear. But it's strange to see everyone roaming around freely while having that bright smile on ".
Aranya was strangely astonished with the new environment that it was unknown to her till yet. Throughout the last fifteen years, all she view was people from the institution packed inside and doing only training and study...
There was no festival, no hangout or picnic.... it was all plain and bland.
Jammy was happy to hear from her, it was nice to hear her being little positive about the world.
" Obviously Aranya, you will not supposed to know the world until you don't take a step forwards. If you only look at the world with rage in your eyes, you will see the world struggling. But...if you see from a person's view who's been free and happy, you will see what the real world is like ".
Even though he know he wasn't to teach her about the world. But he didn't wanted to lose any chance he got with so much difficulty...
" Ohh! you really don't let go of any changes, do you? ", She said sarcastically as she started walking in fast pace and looking at him.
In her view, Jammy Lukan was the type of person who would take a mile if given an inch and that's what's about him hated ans liked at the same time.
She didn't supposed to be drawn to him as he was a player in her mind. But something about him just kept her attracting towards him.
" Hey! wait for me...will you? ", Jammy shake off his head knowing how stubborn she was and started catching up to her.
She was hungry as it's been more than twenty fours the last time she had something and Jammy was the same. While traveling, they were so engrossed in playing that didn't realised when the sun set and they reach the village.
Aranya might not show this on face. But was happy from inside that she was seeing how happy the people around her were.
" Do you know bastard, I have always been on the self mission till now for the last two years. But I never seen a happy scene...it's the first time ".
For the first time, he could see a true smile on her face. He actually understand her at some point.
He knew at some point that what happened to children who lost their parents at an early age. He however, at some point wasn't the one in thta category.
Because he left home willingly. Without even caring for anyone...he took the path that was different to him.
The both were roam around as soon....they reach the might market. It was definitely the time to go to bed but it was not that late either.
People were supposed to not sleep this early.
" Night market sure is beautiful, it's my first time coming to one ".
" And so is mine ", Said Jammy while looking around.
she looked at him suspiciously.
" How can it be your first time? have you not go to one with your parents in past? ", Asked Aranya.
Jammy Lukan's parents were alive, which mean he might have had many happy memories and that's why it was so hard for her believe this guy left his home.
