Anna was so dead! She never told her mother that her teammate was actually a BOY!
"M-Mum, w-when I said that? Don't make up things on your own." Anna was seriously nervous. She didn't know how her mother will react.
"So, you are with a boy right now?" Mother Marrie asked.
"Y-yes."
"Anna...." Mother Marrie was going to say something but Anna got an idea.
"Mom, don't worry. He is not straight. So there is no problem."Anna said in a whisper so that Alex isn't able to listen to it.
"Then, it is not a problem. Let me once talk to him." Anna was a little nervous. 'Will Alex talk with my mum?' Anna thought.
"Anna, let me talk with him once. Give him your phone."
"S-sure."
She turned around and Alex was talking with the tour guide. "Alex, my mother wants to talk with you."
"Sure, hand over the phone to me."
Alex took the phone and said, "Hello Aunty."
"Oh, so sorry child I don't even know your name." Mother Marrie said.
"My name is Alex. I'm Anna's senior. We are here going for campaigning so we took a leave for two days. I hope you don't mind that I'm taking Anna there?" Alex carefully asked.
Anna stood there surprised. Alex talked with her mother as if he knows her for a long period of time.
"Sure. Sure. Just keep Anna safe, she is a little clumsy."
"Of course. You don't have to worry about her for these two days."
"Thank You." Mother Marrie was happy that her girl was discovering and roaming more.
Mother Marrie hanged up and Alex gave the phone back to Anna.
"You are an expert in talking with elders," Anna said in a spectacular tone.
"It's nothing" He can't tell her that in his business, he has to deal with people who are elder as compare to her mother.
"So, what is the plan," Anna asked.
"Take this ID CARD and hang it on your neck. This represents our group. Each of our group members is wearing this."
Anna nodded.
"We will reach till the top in the evening. So we can see the sunset today only. Other activities will be continued accordingly.
"I see."
"Pick up your bag pack and let us go."
...
Everyone moved into a queue. Alex was behind Anna, protecting her.
"Anna, you never told me what happened with Peter, the bastard." Hearing this, Anna chuckled.
"I like his title."
"Now tell me. It will be easy to walk while talking." Alex said.
Anna thought about what happened.
***FLASHBACK.***
In the restroom, Anna felt dizzy. She then heard a voice,
"Girl.."
"P-Peter, so it was your doing," Anna said. Her voice was a little weak.
"Yes! To show your place, I have to do this." Peter started coming close to her.
She knew that she needs some time to be fine. She can't fight with him now!
Peter caught her wrist and dragged her to his room.
THUD!
"So girl, from where to start?"
Anna took a deep breath.
"Why don't we do something else?" Anna suggested.
It gained Peter's interest. "What else?"
"Like something....." Anna picked a night lamp and hit him on his face.
Ahhhhhhh...
It pained him. "You bitch. I will show you your place Now! Do you think you can WIN?" Saying this, Peter took the vase from Anna's hand and hit her.
Anna was already weak. She invaded his attack but she falls and her forehead was hit by the corner of a table.
"You will be begging me to do something. I'm going to take a shower. You go and stay in bed. Don't even think of running."
Peter went into the bathroom of the Room
***FLASHBACK ENDS***
Hearing what all happened there, Alex's blood was now boiling. If he hadn't reached there on time, Peter might have done something.
"Alex, You okay?" Anna worriedly asked.
"Yeah. Don't worry. We are lacking behind. Increase your speed."Saying this, Alex started walking faster.
They were walking on wet soil. It was not at all easy to climb here. It was the whole jungle. Tress of a different kind was and with a long trunk.
They walked for three hours and reached a place which was plain.
"People, here we are going to take rest. You all can relax for some time." While the tour guide was explaining things.
Anna was busy observing the view. They can see the three below them and mountains ahead.
"We have to go there." Alex pointed towards the peak of a mountain. "The main sunset view we all are going to see is there."
Anna didn't reply.
She was so smitten by the scenery in front of her.
"Like it?"
"I loved it, Alex. I wish I can just stay in the laps of nature." Anna expressed her feelings.
