It was the month of August, when we decided to leave for a hiking trip. It wasn't uncommon for people to do so at this time of the year, when the breeze are cool but the sun is hot....
Though it wasn't uncommon, me being the indoor type, would never have suggested it on my own. I am not at all an adventurous type..... I was 20 yrs back then, attending Y-City university as an arts major. Reading books and drawing were the only hobby i ever had... it was the only hobby i ever needed. Going for trips was the last thing I would do if I was bored.
And yet there I was packing my bags to leave soon. The reason for my out of character behavior was my boyfriend, Aki.
We met when we were in high school first year and started dating by the end of second year. He, 6"11' & 75kg ', was in the same university but as a sports major.
He, being the total opposite of me, was into hobbies that required more of physical strength. Playing football, basket ball and going for hiking were the few of his hobbies.
When i started dating him, I expected as much,.... Being invited by him for few of the activities he would participate in. But to think I would actually ever agree to go along.... I wonder what it was that made me do so.
Even now.... I look back at our naïve self, regretting every step we took. I regret ever agreeing for the trip. I regret going through with it.
Even now I regret our decision to go on the trip to 'The dark wood Forest'
