"Hey.. Stop there.. You can't wash your hands and knife in the water.."said shiha. Her voice was slightly trembling.. May be because of the pain or from the fear.
Ruihan turned around and looked at her. He can see the pain and fear in her eyes.
Ruihan raised his brow.."why?"
Shiha gave a innocent look and said..
"because, its the river in the forest.. There might be wild animals.. So we must me be careful. And it is the river side.. So may be animals must be having rest around.."
Ruihan shook his head and ignore her.. He took a step forward, but shiha stopped him.." hey! You can't wash it in the river. What if there is a crocodile, alligator or any other animals inside the water."
Ruihan gave a glance to her.. He was sure.. She wants to speak something but she can't say out loud.."it's ok. Its a flowing water.. There must be no one inside as it is flowing.. And you don't need to worry about me..nothing will happen to me." Ruihan thought! That she might be worry about him.. But little did he know.. Shiha was worried about something else..
Shiha looked at him and mummers..
"who is worried about you.. I am worried about myself.."
"i can hear you.. What you said. And you are not the one, going to wash the hands and knife.. Its me. So what you are worried about.." Ruihan snap at her. He don't know why.. But he doesn't like it when she said she is not worried about him.
Shiha pout and said.."of course, i must be worried.. Because, your hands and knife are full of blood."
"so what? It can be only wash in water." said Ruihan..
"no you can't wash it in river.." protest shiha.
Ruihan gave a questioning look to her..
Shiha don't want to but still she explained further..
"actually.. I had seen in movies.. The animals can smell the blood. What if you wash your hands and knife in the water and the crocodile comes out..
Ahh.. No.. No.."
Ruihan chuckled slightly.. "its ok. If the crocodile comes out.. Then i will say it to go way.. It will not dare to harm me.."
Shiha gave a annoying look to him. The way he speaks as if the crocodile knows him.. "haann.. You are speaking like.. The crocodile is your relative.. But do you know, the crocodile will not come to you.. It will come to me."
"why? It will come after you" asked Ruihan..he controlled his laughter.
"of course! It will came after me.. I had seen many movies like this. The crocodile can smells one's blood.. And the blood on your hands and knife is my. So definitely it will came after me.
And i am already injured.. I can't run."
Ruihan laughed out loud at her childish logic and her behaviour..
Shiha looked at him like a innocent girl.." hey.. You can't laugh at me. I am serious ok."
Ruihan stopped laughing.. But still there was a smile on his face.
He too didn't know, when he laughed like this before. It had been many years, when he laughed so freely. If any Sheng Family members saw him right now they might me on ninth cloud.
Ruihan took a step towards her and said.. "Are you ok. I think you might have hurt somewhere on your head too. It have a directly affected to your brain. Let me see if there is any injury on your head.."
Shiha glared at him angrily.. She brush off his hand from her head.. And started walking in the opposite direction. Which leads into the forest.
"hey.. I was just kidding.. Wait a moment, don't go too deep inside. It might be dangerous." saying this Ruihan went towards the river washed his hands and knife.
Shiha walked few meters away from him. She stopped in her track.. It was getting dark. Somewhere deep inside she was afraid.. She slowly turn her head and look at back. She saw Ruihan was busy washing his hands.
She gave a silly smile. She smack her head and said.. "what a fool shiha, you are.." she took a deep breath and walk towards Ruihan.
When Ruihan turned.. He wad surprised seeing shiha standing near him.
"what happened.. I thought, you went inside the forest.."
Shiha ignore him and took a step near the water. She sat on her knees and deep her hand in the water. First she washed her hands.. Then with the left hand she tries to wash her face. But she can't clean her face with one hand. Ruihan saw it.. So he helped her to clean her face.
When it wad done.. Shiha look at him and said.. "you go away from here.."
Ruihan raise his brows.. As if asking why.
Shiha wiped her face with her cardigan and said.. "i want to clean somewhere inside so.." while saying this she touched her neck and collar bone.
Ruihan understood it.. He nodded and said.. "ok. But can you do it with one hand? "
Shiha nodded her head.
Ruihan didn't said anything and took a step back and walk towards the forest.. He turned and said.. "be careful! Don't let the water touch the wound."
"yeah." said shiha. She gave a smile to him.
When she saw he was not looking at her direction.. She slowly removed her mask. Actually she want to wash her real skin. So she just make the excuse.
After cleaning it.. She wiped her face and again she wore the mask.
'ah.. Shiha it's not the right to reveal your identity.. You didn't even know.. Who he is. But he might be someone from the rich family. Hmm.. the way he behave.. He is totally a gentleman..'
Shiha was astonished by her thoughts.
After cleaning she walk towards him.
The moment she walked towards him. He asked.. "Give me your cell phone."
Shiha kept her hand on her pockets. She checked both the side. Front and back. But her cell phone was not there.
"ahh.. I think, it fell down somewhere.. When we both lost the balance. I am sure, it was with me when i pushed you away form the target. But what about yours? Where is yours." asked shiha.
"ohh.. I left it.. In my car." said Ruihan.
"seriously! How can you left your cell phone in the car. Now what to do."
When she said this.. She suddenly remembered something.. She hold Ruihan's hand and excitedly she said..
"ohh.. Yes there is way. I have a phone." saying this she removed a small mobile like device.
Ruihan took looked at it. It was the device he removed from her pocket when he was removing the knife.
"what it is." asked Ruihan.
"oh.. Actually its a mobile only.. But with a different features." saying this she tries to use it. But it didn't work. She checked it again..
"ahh..shit! It is not working.. I think the water went inside." shiha was angry and sad.
Ruihan took it from her hands. He analysed it.. "can we call from this."
"yes we can. But the water went inside. So it might be out of charge. We must charge it first." said shiha.
"how can we charge it here.." asked Ruihan.
"it can be charged with the help of sunlight. It has solar charge. But it is already dark. We can't get the sunlight now."
Ruihan was amazed by this.. With a curiosity he asked.. "what other features it has."
"oh..we can give call from this anywhere.. And that also from anywhere. It is also useful to track the location. It can send the location too. And most importantly, it can creat its own network, it there is no network around yourself. Like, right now. I think there is no network here. Because i don't think there is a network in the forest. It has a torch light in it too. It can be useful in darkness. It only need to be charged. That's it. And if you can't charge it with electricity than solar can be used too. "
Ruihan was more astonished and surprised.. This device it really useful. And he was sure. That shiha is some with a great identity. That's why she had something like this.
" where did you get this from."asked Ruihan.
" ohh.. My friend gave me. He is a great genius.. He loves technology."replied shiha.
Shiha kept it back in her pocket. As it is not useful now. They have to wait till tomorrow.
Ruihan looked around.." i think it is not safe here. The wild animals might came to drink the water. Let's go from here. "
Saying this, both walk inside the forest.
Shiha was walking a step behind from Ruihan.. "is it safe to go inside the forest.."
"I don't know.. But we must find the road.. There must be a village nearby.." said Ruihan.
They both started their journey in the forest.
On the other side.. It was already few hours.. So Ryan and Ruan and informed their fathers about this.
Both First master Sheng and second master Sheng came immediately to the Heaven Hills. It was totally dark by now. Still the police and rescue team were busy searching them.
Soon while later, the police officer came and said.. "Mr sheng, we had found a cell phone." saying this he passed the cell phone to Ruihan's father. He took it and gave a look.
Ruan too looked at it.. "it is not of my brother."
When Ruan said this. Assistant An gave a look and said.. "I think, it is of Miss shiha.."
First master and second Master both looked at each other and said to Ruan and Ryan.. "did you guys, informed that girl's family.."
"No Dad, we don't know much about her. We don't know her family name too."
They shook their heads in disappointment.
