Samudra by Roshika Madushani (inspirational books for students TXT) 📖

a sound. It was not much far away. It was a sudden shake of a nearby bush. Jina opened her eyes. With a grinned mouth, there was a wolf staring at her. Her eyes gone wide with fear. Though she tried to scream, but the sound not came out. Jina heard deep growl of the wolf. It was sure in next few seconds the wolf will jump on her. She tried to turn back and run. But the effort was useless. She was unable to move. Fear made her stunned. In next second the wolf started to run forward. In that same second, some other thing too started to happen. With a speed of an eye blink, someone moved through a bush and blocked the way of the wolf. Even in that speed movement, Jina identified that figure. Then there came a sound of another growl. It was not the wolf! Jina shuddered with a new fear. Suddnely, as in a dream, she heard a sound of skidding tyres. The van breaked suddnely.


    "Hey what is that?" someone asked in a high voice. 

" A wolf!"

"What? is there wolves in this area?"

" I am not sure, that one seemed to be scared of something and ran across the road!"

 

Jina's eyes blinked rapidly. She was really confused. She is sitting in the van. Then what was that? a dream? aahh... she failed to stop making that expression. Is that the same wolf ran across the road? the driver said it was seemed to be scared of something! yes the wolf scared of something! 

"Oh God!" Jina covered her face with her both hands.

"Why darling what's wrong?" it was mom.

"I'm scared of wolves" 

"C'mon don't worry, they wont be here" 

 

While Jina;s mother cuddle her, Lisa stared at Jina, asking with her expression of eyes what was happened. Jina slightly shook her head to say 'don't ask now'. Though Lisa doesn't know what excactly happened, she knew it was about that ghost boy.

" It's good to have a tea now isn't it?" It was Jina's dad suggested 

 

They had travel some 15 km's away from where the wolf crossed the road. The area was beautiful where the van stopped. Left side of the road there was a bushy area with huge trees. The sceen at right side was more attractive. There was a clif. Just ahead of that there was a deep slope. All got down from the van and get ready for having some tea or coffee. Jina walked a bit away from the crowd and inhaled deeply. The fresh air filled her lungs. There is still a puzzle infront of her. Who is that boy? Is it a dream or an illusion? Then why the wolf scared?. First time in the rain, now in the forest, he appeared. In those both incidents there is something mysterious.

    "Hey" Lisa came with two cups of coffee.
    "Again it was him" Jina said in a low voice while taking her cup of coffee.
    "I was pretty sure about that. But what happened this time?"
    "That wolf..." Jina started to say, but how she sure about that?

"You mean the wolf which was crossed the road?"

"Yes"

"Ok go on. I'm listening."

"Lisa you know this is a wiered thing since at the begining..."

"Yes it is. Now what was with wolf?"

"It was scared of that boy." Jina murmered.

"What? how do you know that?"

"I was in a forest. In a dream or an illlusion or something like that."

"You were dozing, may be a dream. ok whatever it is, what happened?"

"The wolf tried to jump on me. Then he came, that's why the wolf scared and started to run away."

"A wolf scared of a man. How and why?"

"Wiered thing again lisa"

"Go on"

"Wolf scared of him because of he too growled as a wolf."

"Gosh! it's scarry even in a dream!"

"That is the problem Lisa. Is this really a dream?"
