Chapter - 04

I ran toward the direction I had come in. As I was walking through the forest, I figured a difference between my world and this world by now. Like, this place does not actually look like forestry; it's more like some gardens because of the flower fields. As much as I remember, this place used to be full of wild flowers and tall grasses as well as old, rooted trees.

There are a few tree houses on the tree branches that look quite small for humans to fit in. All of them are made of small sticks and thin roots. Some of the house is well decorated with small star-shaped glowing emerald coloured flowers that look so glittery and mesmerizing. I wondered, what is the purpose of the small tree houses? Since, the trees are so high, out of human reach, I didn't get to check one properly.

It's been 12 or 15 minutes since I've been walking but still no sight of any cities. I thought the roads would be the same as they were in my world, but I guess that is not the case. I was beyond hungry and thirsty by the time. So, I decided to stop for a few minutes to drink some water I had in my backpack.

"Ahh, I wish I didn't eat the chocolate bread I had after lunch. Now I've got nothing to eat." - I said as my stomach started grumbling hard.

''I should search for some fruits first, but the trees are so long. Even if I find one, I won't be able to get it down'' – I felt like crying looking at the tall and wide trees. They are oddly taller than the trees I've seen in this forest. How many times have I climbed trees in this forest, but the experience is going down now. Without losing hope, I stood up abruptly and began to look high at the trees to check if there were some fruits.

In a while, I found some fruit-looking things in a tree that is too tall as well. The fruits are in an oval shape with a light blue colour on its outside. Some are in light blue and some in brown. I don't want to know if they are edible or not, now it's time to think with my stomach, right? I searched for long sticks to hit the fruit to get them, but there were no long ones near, only the small ones, Luck… I took a seat under the tree with a frustrating growl emitting from both my mouth and my stomach.

Before I could even figure out another way to get them, a brown fruit fell right onto my left hand. I screamed out loudly at the sudden pain. I look at my right side to see what has fallen just now. It was brown fruit. I finally thanked my luck a million times to get me something to eat. The fruit looks utterly delicious, since I was starving for a long time. Without thinking twice, I took a large bite of it and flinched at the rotten taste. It tastes so bad that I ended up throwing out whatever I had in my body.

"Seriously...!"
