I still remember maa asking me not to wander in the forest all by myself minutes before I was leaving for the mountains. So when I was actually lost in the jungle, her words echoed in the vastness of my mind.
.
l don't know how this happened. I was following the trail my host told me about and there came a point when there was no trail to follow. I didn't realize when I left the trail behind and wandered in absolute wilderness. I will give it to the beauty around which was so spellbinding that I lost track of legit everything. And I still remember that moment when I came face to face with reality. I was scared af. There was only dense forest as far as the eyes could see and let's not forget the scary voices I could hear. It was all in my brain but at that moment everything felt real. I decided for an uphill climb just in the hope of finding a road. Since I wasn't following a defined trail, there were times when the inclination was as much as 70° or that's how it felt like. I climbed and climbed and climbed.
.
And the moment I heard a car honking, there was an outburst of relief inside me. I wouldn't say I was happy, but I was relieved. It also helped in boosting my confidence. The very next day I ventured out in the forest again. A tad bit careful this time. 😀
