"This must be a joke ... How can I be here? "
Zen sighed. Wryly, he began to smile when he knew that he was not dreaming or hallucinating.
When he sat under a shady tree, he sat pensively with his both palms still covering his face.
Previously he thought that he was dreaming. Because of that, he did some experiments. He pinched some parts of his body. But what he wanted didn't happen, instead of waking up from his sleep, it was precisely the pain he felt in the area that he had pinched before.
"Huff... I felt very anxious and also worried. I remembered that there was no forest close to my house or city where I lived. At least tens of kilometers from the direction of the town. "
Shaking his head, Zen tried to suppress his emotions. What he must do now is look for the nearest settlement area.
He did not want to remain silent in this place. However, the place where he was at is a forest. Zen is worried there will be wild animals that could endanger his life.
He did not know who and why he was moved to this forest when he slept. He felt a little confused by it.
"Hopefully, this forest is not too far from the city. Huff..."
The sun had begun to rise high in the sky, not long again, the time would be in the middle of the day.
Zen aims to reach the nearest settlement quickly, at least before the sun begins to fall from its stop (night).
"Hopefully, this will goes well ... After finding the locals, I'll try to ask where this place is. "
"Oke. Which direction should I go now? Maybe this way? "
After thinking for a while, Zen finally began to walk in the direction he chose.

Afternoon.
After a few hours, he walks through the forest. Instead of the locals he met, he even thought that he was lost further in the deep of the woods.
He wasn't sure where he was right now. But Zen convinced that he was going further than he had initially planned.
The trees and grasses on the left and right sides also look more significant and more prolonged. Doesn't this indicate that it is getting further lost?
About getting lost, at this time, a lake is starting to enter Zen's view.
The lake looks bright and is also significant. In the middle of the lake, there is a thick tree whose roots spread vigorously to the bottom of the lake.
It made Zen excited, after walking for several hours, he felt thirsty and tired. His legs also began to feel a little bit achy.
But, put that aside first. What Zen wants right now is water! Water to fulfill his thirst!
Zen walked closer to the edge of the lake. His hands began to reach out, and he took water from the lake with his palms.
