Since you guys are so demanding, here's another small blurb 😆. Rest of the story will be posted in full tomorrow night! 😉
Appu runs after him, throwing all the small sticks and leaves that she could get her hands on at Shashank, as he dodges her attempts, laughing the entire time. Once she realized that he was too fast for her, she stopped running and pretended to twist her ankle to lure him in. As soon as he was beside her, her tiny hands started lightly hitting his arms and chest before he could realize he had been fooled. Shashank just continued chuckling and teasing her again as her assault continued. He was walking backwards trying to escape her hands and didn’t even realize when he had reached a short slope in the floor.
Before he could understand their position, his foot slipped and he automatically grasped her hand for support, pulling them both down. As they started rolling down the hill, Shashank moved his hands to wrap one around her waist and the other cradling her head while Appu clung to his undershirt with both hands, hiding her face in his chest. They quickly reached the bottom of the short hill, with Appu laying on top of Shashank.
The surprise of the fall left them motionless for a moment but as they became aware of their surroundings, they quickly realized their positions, especially that of Appu’s lips caressing his neck! Neither of them made any move to separate, lost in each other’s eyes and arms, there on the forest floor, as their holds on one another gradually tightened. They might have stayed in that position forever had it not been for the resounding thunder and lightening bringing them back to their senses.
Appu quickly leapt off of Shashank and straightened herself as he too arose and checked them both for injuries. Thankfully, it was a very slanted dropping so neither of them was hurt apart from some superficial scratches on Shashank’s bare arms that would no doubt turn an angry red by the morning. As another bout of thunder resonated around them, they silently decided to move on with their search for shelter.
