"What does it say?" Heather asked.
Jonathan stared at the map with a frown on his face.
It was the morning of the second day of their journey. They had completely left the territories of Kausala and were in uncharted lands now. Following the old road, they had entered the forests but the road had ended abruptly after few miles.
"As per this map, the road should continue ahead," he said, pointing forward.
She looked ahead. The old road seemed completely gone, engulfed by the forest. All they could see were deer trails. The land was starting to go downhill.
"Do you want to follow any of these trails?" she asked.
"Let's do that for now. The map shows the old road ran parallel to the river somewhere ahead. We'll try to get to the river and then follow alongside."
They continued forward, following the trail. There were steep, rocky, declines at few places where they had to get down and lead the horses on foot. Few hours later they came across the river and found the remnants of the old road again. They continued on the road, alongside the river for few more hours till they reached a small waterfall. With dusk approaching, they decided to call it a day and make camp. There was a nice clearing inside the forest. Heather set up the tent while Jonathan took the horses to graze. As the light started to fail, he returned with sticks and branches and started a campfire. As night fell, they ate their packed food for dinner. Tired of the day's journey, they quickly went to bed.

जिंदगी की राहों में रंजो गम के मेले हैं.
भीड़ है क़यामत की फिर भी हम अकेले हैं.
