Amyra couldn't understand if she should laugh or cry. So she was following this man for more than one hour without any reasons? Her legs are already tired of walking. She sat in the way only, Varun stopped in front of her. He was shocked to see Amyra here.
-"Why are you here?" He asked with a surprised expression.
-"I followed you for about one hour because I lost my way in the forest and now only I got to know that you also lost your way. I am befooled by you." her voice was filled with tiredness.
-"Who told you to follow me? You fooled yourself. Now please get up if you don't want to die of cold here." His hars voice came. Amyra immediately got up hearing Varun. He is right the temperature has fallen dramatically after the sunset, and a few thunders heard and lightening occurred in the sky, it's a dry month but this type of sudden precipitation is very common in hilly areas. But Amyra's legs were too tired of walking, they were out of strength. She couldn't help but sit down again in the way. Apart from this she is feeling hungry and cold together.
-"My legs are hurting... I can't stand.." Varun don't know why but he felt so pity hearing her tired voice.
-"Ok I'll carry you.. We must find a shelter before it starts raining. I have seen a cave in the way.." Said Varun bending towards her to lift her.
-"Nooo..." She moved a little away thinking that he will take this differently.
-"Just hold my hand... you need not carry me. I just need a little support.." she continued.
-"I know you don't like me but I don't think you can walk now, So let me carry you.."Varun said again.
-"Don't bother. If I will feel that I can't walk. I'll tell you myself to carry me." She said.
Varun couldn't get anything else to say so he just forwarded his hand. She stood up taking his support and started walking. Varun was shocked when Amyra hold his hand, she was icy cold and he felt her shivering.
-"Stop.." he said making her stand in the way. He then removed his jacket and wrapped her with it. This time Amyra couldn't say anything but stood still.
In a few momment they reached the small cave Varun talked about. There were a lots of dry leaves scattered inside the cave, Varun collected them and made Amyra sit there. Her condition was getting worse. Varun collected some dry branches of tree fallen there and lit fire. He then started rubbing his hands against her to pass some warmth to her. It affected but very little, Then Varun remembered something and opened his bag.
He carried some bottle of red wine in his bag, and this thing can make Amyra feel better now. He opened one bottle and made Amyra have some of it to warm herself.
Eventually Amyra felt better than before her shivering stopped. She became normal eventually.
-"I am starving.." She said touching her stomach. He again reached for his bag where he carried some packet of chips to accompany with wine. He gave them all to Amyra, and joined himself opening another bottle of wine as he understood these to be their dinner for tonight.
It already started raining outside making the temperature fall even more, apart from them two monkeys also took shelter in the cave.
With chips and wine Amyra felt her hunger gone and her body returned to its normal temperature.
-"Thanks. Can I have one more wine. please, I am feeling cold." she said to Varun pretending to shiver.
-"I have many.. No need to ask just take. but one thing don't be full and be in sense." Varun said forwarding another bottle of wine towards her.
######
But what Varun feared happened immediately.. She has gone out of control.. she asked for wine bottle again with her unclear voice.
-"pleeese.... juu.. st.. one..." she said.
-"sorry... Ammu.."
Varun denied this time, he himself also felt his mind a little unstable..
Amyra came nearer and hold his hand
-"please.." she fell on him before she could say another word.
