11 Days & 12 Nights

#21

The 5th morning was fully weird. The people started whispering things as soon as I entered the hall.

"See here comes the poor thing, "some said while some others said "attention seeker "

It is strange, I mean the way people can think about the same situation. But throughout this Chris was always beside me, looking in my eyes and assuring me that everything is gonna be fine.

"Hope you all are ready to walk today. This 4 km can be your best 4 km of your life or the worst, it depends on the path you choose. That's the speciality of this garden. You can see the best things and even the worst and wild things there. Choose correctly "Robert yelled at the top of his voice.

I saw Steve and so I was going ahead to talk to him but Chris's grip on my hand pulled me back.

"We need to go, "he said and pulled me slightly.

~~~ In the park ~~~

"We must take a right, "I said when the single path divided into two.

"No, we must go to left, see everyone is going right, we must try something different "

"What if we end up in the wild side? "I asked

"No worries, I'm with you, "Chris said and entangled his fingers with mine.

We took a left and were walking. The park was filled with great flowers, some were big some were small but each one had its own beauty. There was a large pond in between, and besides it, there was a large ground where rabbits were kept, they were white as snow. I pulled Chris in that direction and he groaned.

After waiting there for some time, someone approached us.

"Hey, you are Christopher Moore, right? "The guy asked and Chris nodded.

"Robert wanted to talk to you, "he informed.

"Okay let's go, Eliza, "he said and grabbed my hand.

"Umm..he wants to talk to you alone, "the guy said.

"Can't I talk to him afterwards? "Chris asked not wanting to leave me.

"No, it's urgent he said. Go straight and you'll find him soon "with that the guy left.

"You don't go anywhere, stay here, I'll be here within five, okay? "He told me.

"Go, Chris, I'm gonna be fine. "I assured him.

"Don't move? "he said finally and left.

I thought about calling mom. I removed my phone and dialled her number when someone tapped on my shoulder. I looked back to see Steve.

"Hey, "I said cheerfully.

"I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I didn't mean to hurt you "he started apologizing

"It's okay, " I said.

"Would you mind walking with me? "He asked.

"Umm...I.."I began but he cut me off.

"Ohh! C'mon please, if you walk then I'll think that you forgave me "he pleaded.

"Okay, but we must walk straight in that direction, "I said hoping that I'll find Chris in between.

"You go forward, I'll bring something to eat. "He said and I started walking.

I walked for some time and the park got denser. The trees were wild and huge, then heard some voices from behind a huge tree.

"Just, one kiss ...please " a known voice came and I took a step forward.

I froze at the scene behind the tree.
