Heart wants what it wants.

8. Farewell.

The reached the spot they left. " Why is there a snake here. If this place wasn't safe why did you bring me here." she was in shock. "Relax. Take deep breath.You went on your own. That wasn't the path we took to get here. That wasn't safe. I was calling you from behind. " she was in disbelief. "I didn't hear my name. " she said. "that's because you never told me your name. Calm down it's OK. We are safe now. The path we took here earlier has electric fence around it. No animal crosses it." She was not calming down. "We shouldn't have come here." she kept on repeating. "Calm down. It's OK now." he didn't know what to do. He pulled her close puttig his hands on her shoulders. He could hear her mumbled protests. But he  was not going to let her go, not until she calms down. "Shhhhhh. Calm down." he whispered in her ears. She was taking deep breaths now. He took her hand and she started following him quietly. It was her fault that she reacted earlier so she couldn't blame him for anything. "My name is Anna." she said and he slowed down. "Anna.." he whispered to himself. "I am Nathaniel white. Call me Nate." Nathaniel white. Name was familiar to her. But then he was a celebrity.  Maybe someone talked about him earlier in front of her. They reached the car. He opened door for her. She got into the car. He closed the door. He turned around and came to his side of the door. He got into the car. Insert the keys in the engine. Just when he was about to start the engine she said " Stop." he stopped and looked at her. She was looking outside the windscreen. " I'll remember you. Even if we never meet again." she said. He stopped. Took a deep breath. "It's time to take you back."He started the car. There was silence that filled the car. Neither of them said a word on their way back. They were lost in their own thoughts. When he pulled over the car at camp site everyone was ready to go. She got out of the car. He followed her. "Hey." he said. She turned around. "I am sorry if I hurt you in any way. Just stay happy and live well." he waved at her. She waved back. She got into the seat in the bus. Her bags were already taken care of by her tour guide. She took her phone out. Went to call log. She saved the last number on the list. She didn't want to erase everything that belonged to him. She knew she should give him up.. But her heart wanted otherwise and the heart wants what it wants.
