Rose and Rhehan looked at each other in nervouseness. Their faces pale and they turned their faces and looked nervousely at Phra Basho. Rhehan gazed at the animals, with a sad pouting face of being betrayed by them.

"Haha! They did not tell me! The moment I touched her head, I could sense it." The monk grinned looking at the two.

Rose pursed her lips, looking at the monk in embarras.e.m.e.nt. While Rhehan stood there in nervousness, thinking what will master Lee do to them, if he finds out about it.

"Don't worry kids! I am not going to tell anybody! It is a secret, till you are not ready to tell it to your family!" The monk grinned, looking at the two nervous people.

Rose heaved a sigh of relief, while Rhehan smiled back. "Thank you Phra Basho. Otherwise, Lee Lee would kill us."

"Well, I should say, your generation is hard to understand for us people. Everything happens at spur of emotions. Come now! Some one's waiting for you!" The monk smiled, leading them towards the right.

"Who?" Rhehan gazed at him in surprise. His heart raced again, as if he already knew the answer.

"Your old man! The old monk!" The monk looked at Rhehan and patted his back. He knew how Rhehan was feeling at the moment.

Rose looked at Rhehan and held his hand. Rhehan took deep breaths and followed the monk. "Ohk! Let's go!" He held back Rose's hand tightly, trying to calm down. They were followed by several animals, who were now walking quietly, knowing the seriouseness of the situation.

They crossed dense patches of the woods, eventually crossing a beautiful lake. "This is your mother's favourite place, in the entire west woods. Whenever she is sad or happy, she comes here!" The monk pointed towards the lake, which was decorated beautifully with oil lanterns.

Rhehan smiled looking at the lake. "It is indeed beautiful. Infact this whole west woods is such a beautiful place. Just the way I like! Natural and untouched!"

"You will offcourse love it. You have been brought up this way! First by Lee and then by Old monk." The monk smiled, while walking ahead.

Soon, they reached the garden of a beautiful monastery. They both gaped at the monastery in surprise! Who could imagine such a beautiful place, amongst the dense woods.

"Remember anything Rhehan?" The old monk smiled, looking back at his face.

"Ummm...No! I don't really think so!" Rhehan pursed his lips, thinking hard.

"It's ok! Come! Old monk is inside, in his room!" The monk smiled, walking on the brick path.

Rhehan paused for a moment and he covered his face with his hands. "I can do this! I can do this!"

He let out a big sigh and followed the monk, walking inside the monastery....
