46 A Perilous Travel

Death-defying. Its exactly synonymous to what George and Magee have thought before crossing the border between Tikaban and Kabang. Astonishingly, they noticed a post with 5-6 soldiers on guard and were heavily armed. Roughly its ten meters away from the waterfalls as they descended downhill on the right bound to their destination. They were really extra careful on tramping by the cliff where tree roots hanged over the rock bars and brims. Chances are, if one cannot firmly grasp the tree roots or branches, there's a possibility of dwindling down tragically or any worst accidents may occur considering its 50 feet elevation above the ground. Its in no point of no return too since they do not have any available food inside the waterfalls.

" George!" She whispered while following him.

He turned his head and stopped for a while.

"Yeah!"

" I'm tired..." She awkwardly smiled at him.

" Ha...but we're exactly in a place below their guardpost, they might notice us around." He whispered.

" I thirst too, I did not bring water I thought we'll not be delayed." She breathlessly spoke.

" Wait, here, drink this." He extended to her his small water container.

" Have you drink on that today?" With her sweats popping on her face.

" Not yet. I'm healthy, I don't have any contagious diseases, haha!" He smirked by closing his mouth.

He paused to think a little and looked at her, analyzed it badly and looked back on her while consuming it all, till its last drop.

" Hah! thank God!" She bent her back on a bigger branch.

"Mag, I forgot...I've sipped some water from that bottle a little before we climbed here." He jokily told her.

He lifelessly pinched his arm, heavily wiped her mouth with her jacket and left him.

In spite of the struggles they're experiencing but George can't help being tickled and silently laughed over the cliffy place that looks like the great wall.

" Should I say this is the worst dating place ever in the entire world. In the future, I'll really tell my children about what their mother had been doing to me now - joyful penitence." He smiled and quickly followed her.

They were already in the middle of their trekking when she stopped and moved one step downward; picked some riped guavas and gave him some.
