I felt like I was floating in the air. I hadn't imagined this turn of events at all. Everything changed in an instant.
Where I thought I had it badly, it finally turned out that I was in the right place at the right time.
Now I no longer felt disadvantaged towards him. We had shared private parts of our body, and now we were equal. He saw I saw too.
With my thoughts accompanying me, I didn't realize when I got to the main river again.
My desire to take a bath hadn't left me, so I decided to find another spot. I crossed to the opposite side of the stream and proceeded down until I found the perfect location.
It was a small oval recess created by the river. The water there was calm, and as I calculated, its depth was satisfactory. There were also trees in front of it so no one could see me. I had to hurry; the clothes would have dried by now under the hot sun.
