That small movement made her realise that she felt a sharp pain in her head which was wrapped with something tight. She tried to wriggle her legs and then tried to move her hands which was again wrapped with something tight. Unless she didn't try to move, her discomfort was limited to a generalised ache throughout her body. Except that her head hurt extremely and her throat felt extremely dry too.

Upon hearing Ronnie, the girl swallowed and forced a croaking whisper from her parched throat. "May I have some water at first please?"

Upon hearing her voice, Ronnie felt an intense wave of relief that she replied to him. He immediately replied, "Sure. Hang on for a moment please I'll get it for you."

Then, Ronnie ran towards the water pot to get her a cup of water.

Meanwhile the girl thought, 'Why is it that I'm not able to recollect how i ended up here? Who are these people? Why am I here? What's wrong with me? Why does my body hurt so much? Why does that guy seem so affected by my condition here?....'

She was stopped midway between her thoughts when Ronnie returned with a cup of water. She couldn't even lift her arm to drink the water.

Sensing that, Ronnie himself made her sit up by supporting her back against the wall and even kept a small pillow-kind of supporting structure for her back. He made her drink the water.

She said, "Thank you. But I'm feeling very hungry too." This was followed by her stomach growling. She covered her face which had now turned red with embarrassment.

Ronnie flashed a smile and said, "Don't worry. Let me go and check if I can arrange something for you to eat. You can keep resting till then."

The girl nodded without looking at him.

Ronnie walked out of the hut and went to the Chief's Hut. Auntie Mo had just then prepared lunch. It was their usual lunch which consisted of boiled potatoes which were dipped in ground spices.

He communicated to Auntie Mo that she is awake and hungry and that she needs food.

On seeing his actions, Auntie Mo understood that that the girl must be awake now. She hurriedly poured the contents into a bowl and gave it to him.

Ronnie bowed to her and said, "Thank you Auntie Mo," for which she gladly nodded with a smile.

Then he ran inside to give it to her.

Meanwhile, the girl was again lost deep in her thoughts.

Ronnie saw her pale face when he entered with the food. So to bring her out of her thoughts he  said, "Here we go, lunch is ready. Please eat as much as you want."

The girl immediately had a smile on her face on seeing food. He didn't wait anymore. He started feeding her. Before eating, the girl asked Ronnie, "How about you? Won't you eat with me? Where is your bowl?"


Ronnie was so happy to hear that. He thought, 'This girl isn't just beautiful to look at but she has an even more beautiful heart. Another reason for falling for this mysterious beauty.'

He didn't realise that he was smiling to himself. His admiration for her increased in leaps and bounds. He felt like a hopeless teenager stuck in love at first sight with a girl.
