Both of them hurriedly got dressed and rushed out of the room, calling out for Garnt's mother, Gundo. They searched every corner of the workshop, but she was nowhere to be found. Panic began to set in as they realized she had vanished without a trace.
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the village, and darkness slowly enveloped their surroundings. It had been few hours since Garnt arrived in the village and they knew, it owuld be dangerous for anyone to exit the village at night.
Desperate to locate her, they started asking the people in the nearby village if they had seen her. None of the villagers knew anything about Gundo and their hearts sank as they feared the worst.
[Don't worry. She is not going to do anything bad. She is near the river, go and see what she is upto.]
