Chapter 45: troubleshooting part 2

After returning into her senses she found herself in an unfamiliar place. Her blurred vision became clear slowly and she found herself in a beautifully decorated room. The bed where she laid was decorated with rose petals and many other beautiful flower petals were scattered in the floor and the fragrance of them turned everything into romantic one, there was no light but candles lit decoratively. The decoration was the same as in the first night of newly married couple. She was trying to recall how she reached this place but couldn't recall anything but running away from her own engagement and then bumping into the strange man who once saved her. But after waking up she couldn't see anyone around so she stood up from the bed and gave a quick look around, the only thing she could realise was that this place is situated near a water body, a river or lake or something like that as she could hear continuous sounds of water... She found the door on the left side from where she stood and with a little dilemma she opened it to see where she is in. A gust of cool breeze from the ocean welcomed her making her stunned with the view in front of her. She stood in the balcony of a wooden forest house behind which a deep forest could be seen and in its front there's a long beach followed by the giant ocean. She couldn't trace the place and even the time, it could either be the moment prior to the sunrise or just after the sunset. For one moment she forgot all her worries and could only hear the roar of seawater together with the chirping of birds. Suddenly she got dazed by a sound of a gunshot followed by flying of bird in large numbers, her eyes followed the direction of the sound and she saw a man riding a horse towards her. Gradually the horse came closer and now she could see the strong masculine and long stature of the man who was wearing hunting dress but she could only see a little of his face featuring finely drawn jawlines and thin firm lips holding a cigar in between them, She couldn't see much of his face as he was wearing a cowboy hat which partially covered his face. The man jumped off the horse reaching in front of the tree house and bound the horse in a pillar and then untied a wild goose which he hunted from his trip, he hung it on his shoulder and climbed the wooden steps. She was curious and also a little scared but in this barren land, there was no means to do anything before understanding the current situation so she stood still. The man walked in front of her then opened his hat and placed it in his chest and bowed a little with a pleasant smile on his lips.
