Ep.4 The Jump
Ep.4 The Jump
While the tribes carried me, I heard them talking to each other in a very strange language. A language which had no words. They had their conversations by making sounds, "teek teek tuk khaaak shi bo t'chaku". I started to feel numb as I had been hanging on the bamboo for hours. However, along the journey I witnessed nature at its best.
We had to walk through a bridge where to the right side I can see the waterfall where I had camped and to the left I can see the whole forest which spread beyond the horizon. The bridge was fragile and we were way above the ground. Walking on that bridge was like walking on a rope between the two trade towers in USA. Neeche dekh ke mera toh gaand hi fatt gaya.
The Bridge was so delicate that even the slightest change in weight could break it. That's what I thought. We were 15 people including me, 8-10 people were ahead of me and rest were behind me. As we were getting close to the other side, the people who were behind me started to move ahead. Those who reached the other side had started to celebrate by dancing and singing. Now when you are still on a rope so delicate YOU SHOULD'NT FUCKING JUMP!!!!! Those idiots looking at the ones who reached, started to jump shaking the whole damn bridge.
I started to shout at them ABE CHUTYE SIDHA KHADA REH, it was in vain as they couldn't understand. Suddenly we heard a sound that scared the shit out of us. I slowly turned my head and saw that the ropes of the bridge started to tear apart. The two tribes who were carrying me left me and ran for their life. I untied my legs and stood up and ran as fucking fast as I can with a freaking bamboo. The Bridge started to fall apart and watching this I ran so fast that I outrun those two tribes behind. I started to feel the logs beneath my foot getting low and heard the scream of the two tribes falling.
I ran and ran and jumped; The bridge had fallen, I was in the air with a hope of reaching the other end. At the other side, there were two logs grounded into the earth which held the bridge. I used the bamboo and kept it in a horizontal way so that it can get stuck between the logs. And IT DID!!!
