I slowly opened my eyes and to my surprise I felt so much better, it was as if I just fell asleep. I was lying down comfortably inside a tent and I got so confused thinking if I was dead, just dreaming, or everything that happened before I passed out was for real or not.  The last thing I could remember was the scene at the stream but here I am in a completely different setting. The surroundings was already dark and I got up quick worried about whatever happened to my dearest Red Butterfly. When I managed to sit up I noticed I was wearing a different set of clothes, and the snakebite was nowhere to be found. (more…)

The Reconciliation

I just stood silent about three feet away from Red Butterfly who was sitting at the stone. She was stretching and unstretching her legs as she applied some cream pain reliever into her swollen legs and feet. I pity the sight of her suffering from my hasty decisions. I don’t like us being like this, we just got married and we should be celebrating it. But here we are, instead of relaxing and enjoying our honeymoon, we are stuck in the middle of the forest. I want to go back but I don’t even know which way is back, and I hated it so bad. And for some reason even my compass watch failed to tell the right directions. I was starting to believe the mystery of the forest.

I couldn’t stand it any longer so I went to Red Butterfly and hugged her. I apologize for getting both of us into the current situation that we’re in. All I wanted was a little adventure with her, and to discover new places and to experience what it’s like to bathe at the legendary falls in the mystical forest and to discover the source of the water from the stream.

Too Tired To Go Any Further

After all the crying I told Red Butterfly that we should get moving. The place wasn’t safe enough for us and we should find a better place where we could rest in. Little did she know that I was trying to track some signs of any rocks or cut trees to have at least an idea where to go next. though hardly audible, I’ve also been trying to listen for any signs of flowing water along the area. She was too busy ranting and complaining of how tired she was and how it’s all my fault why we got ourselves lost. I told her that next time I will be more prepared, and she said there will be no next time okay? Never! If you want to go, you go alone.

I can sense how tired and frustrated she was, I wish there was something I could do. I wanted to carry her, but she declined my offer this time. She was upset. I told her we’re getting near the stream, I could see signs of rocks and the air felt cool. I could almost hear the the sound of flowing water. She was so grumpy saying “what sound of water are you talking about, I can’t hear any, I guess you’re already imagining things. I just ignored all her comments and continued to be a little more attentive (more…)
