Both Mari and Ruby were having a camera in their hands so they could take pictures of the forest and all the other places they were going to visit for the whole month.
After they finished their breakfast, they both went straight to the forest. It took them nearly 2 and a half hours to reach the forest.
[In Front Of The Forest Entrance]
Both Mari and Ruby were waiting for the tour guide to arrive so they don't get lost or go too deep inside the forest. " Hey sis, if that guy we hired didn't come within 5 minutes I will go inside alone, I don't care if you are coming with me or not. Seriously, Mari, we have been waiting here for 45 minutes and it will soon be an hour. I'm not going to waste my time on an irresponsible person who doesn't have any sense of time" Ruby complained irritatedly. "Ok, you can do whatever you want after 5 minutes, just stop nagging me constantly asking why the guide didn't arrive. I'm in the same position as you. So just stop nagging me" Mari replied in a slightly annoyed tone. After 5 minutes,the guide was not seen. "Mari, when we go back I am going to be the first one to give this guy a negative comment," Ruby said in an extremely angry tone. "If so, then count me in as well" Mari replied in an equally annoyed tone. Right as they were about to enter the forest, they both saw a young man coming their way in a hurry. "I'm really sorry for the delay, I had to take care of some things at my house since, it was an emergency" the young man came towards Mari and Ruby while apologizing. " Uhhh, are you be the tour guide whom we hired to be here at exactly 8:30.A.M. which was supposed to be 45 minutes earlier? Well, I'm just asking, it's not like we waited here for 45 minutes and we definitely didn't think about giving you a negative comment once we returned to our hotel room, right Ruby?" Mari spoke in a dangerously sweet voice and with a dangerously sweet smile, even with that tone and smile you can feel the sarcasm in each and every word she said. "Yeah right. I mean, dude my legs were going to break if you didn't show up you know. What the hell were you doing?" Ruby replied shouting at the guide who was standing there in front of them with a guilty look. "I'm really very sorry. I had to go for a family emergency. But I made sure to inform the agency that I was going to be late for the job and told them to inform you that I will be arriving late by half an hour or so and asked them to tell you not to wait for me. Since there was no one to replace me I had to finish my work faster and came here as soon as possible. You can file a complaint against me if you think that I made you wait for long" the young guide explained his situation to them and asked for forgiveness. "Alright, it's ok. Family comes first for everyone, just make sure you inform your client personally before you are going on an emergency and will be late. We won't file a complaint against you. But take my advice, not all customers are as understanding as we are. So enough with the talking shall we start our tour, umm...Mr" Mari replied politely and understandingly to the guide. "Oh, how rude of me, sorry. My name is Aron Blake. You can call me Aron. And may I know the name of these two understanding and kind young ladies" the boy replied politely while asking their names. "My name Mari Roger and this is my little sister Ruby Roger" Mari introduced herself and Ruby. On hearing their names Aron was a little shocked but managed to hide it well. " Well, then Miss.Mari, Miss.Ruby shall we go?" Aron said after their short intro. "Oh yes, certainly" Ruby replied with a wide smile and an excited cheer while Mari laughed at her silly behaviour. They all went into the forest and Ruby being herself was taking photos of literally everything she saw. While Mari was patient and took pictures of the sceneries she was amazed by and were really breathtaking to her.
While Mari was busy taking pictures of a ladybug, she noticed someone staring at her and looked to find it was Aron. The moment she looked at him with the camera in her hand his eyes widened with surprise and realisation, she reminded him of those two people so much. "I finally found you at last" Aron whispered to himself as he smiled back at Mari who was smiling at him and went back to her job of taking pictures.
After they spent the whole morning inside the forest, they decided to go back for lunch. "Follow me and don't get lost. There are many dangerous animals in this forest especially during the afternoons and the nights since they come out to hunt. So, make sure to stick to my side. Trust me, it is a horrible way to die, by getting eaten by a carnivorous predator" Aron said to them as they were heading back for lunch. "It is nice having a person who is more or less similar to our age as a guide. Cause this dude is easy to get along with. The good job selecting this guy sis" Ruby said to Mari out of nowhere. "Huh, oh yes thank you. By the way, I have been meaning to ask you, Sir.Aron, how old are you?" Mari thanked Ruby and asked Aron. "Me, I'm 18 right now. I am attending the Arts and Science college named Wowland. They say it's a famous one in Paris" Aron replied to her question. "OMG!!!!! Really Mari is going to attend the same college as well. Wow! What a strange coincidence, right Mari?" Ruby screamed excitedly. "Sorry to break your happiness but you can't simply scream in the jungle where there are vicious creatures roaming around" Aron quickly silenced Ruby. After that, they all had a wonderful time chatting all the way to the entrance. "Sadly this is where we part. But, I hope to see Miss.Mari at College after a month. So, this is goodbye. Have a safe journey back to your hotel room" Aron said after he safely leads them to the exit. "Oh, please just call Mari. After all, you are a year older than me, and of course, I look forward to seeing you in the college as well. Goodbye Aron" Mari replied with a smile as Ruby said her goodbyes after they were done talking. After that, they all parted ways and Mari and Ruby went to get lunch.
