The girl found the Jacob here and there all around her house. Still she didn’t discover him. She went a little further. She looked him in some places nearby, nevertheless she didn’t able to find him. She felt very bad and guilty.
She was about to go but then her sight went on the side of the road that someone sat there. She went a little closer and she saw that he was that guy i.e. Jacob who helped her.
“I’m very sorry what I have said to you, I got really panic that time and said wrong to you rather you were trying to help us.” the girl said to the Jacob.
“You… what are you doing here?.” said Jacob.
” I am here to say sorry to you for my behaviour. ” said the girl sadly.
“Sorry!!!”
“I misunderstood you. I am sorry for that. ”
“No problem, its okay. If someone else was in your place, he or she would probably do the same. So you don’t need to say sorry.” said Jacob.
“No, it was my mistake.”
“Its alright. By the way you have to go to your father, he needs you.”
“Actually your medicine worked after some time. Now my father is fine. I realized my mistake so I came to find you to say sorry to you.” said girl regretfully.
“Currently you should back to home and take your father to doctor. ”
“Please you also come with me to my home.” girl requested.
“Now your father is cured, so I won’t needed anymore.”
“You helped us a lot. If you forgive me then please come with me to my home. ”
“Hmm Okay. ” Jacob agreed.
Both went to her home and take the girl’s father to doctor. Finally after her father’s checkup they all returned back to home. Girl’s father was a bit fine. Her father had some rare disease.
“I should go now.” said Jacob.
“It’s too late. Where will you go, as there are no other houses around here, you can stay here at night.” said girl.
Jacob was also in search of shelter to spend that night, so he decided to stay that night at girl’s home and said,”Alright thank you so much”
“I didn’t ask your name. What is your name?.”asked girl.
“My name is Jacob… and yours..”
“My name is Sofia.” said girl.
Sofia introduced her family members to Jacob. Then Sofia asked,”By the way are you new in this village while I haven’t seen you here before.”
” Actually I came here for some work. I came from Richmond city. It is very far from here. I am on a long Journey.” said Jacob.
“Journey..!! Interesting. So at which place you are going. ” asked Sofia
“I am going to Springfield.”
“Springfield.. Maybe I’ve heard this name somewhere.”
“Seriously, You have heard this name. Can you tell me where is this place..??? “asked Jacob to the girl very excitedly.
“I didn’t remember where. But why are you going there?”
“Wait… I’ll show you something.” said Jacob by picking out the map.
“See this map. I have to go there.” Said Jacob by showing him the place.
Sofia looked the map. Jacob saw a ray of hope to find that place.
“What happened?.. do you know this place..”
“Are you serious…. you are going at this place? As I always thought that this is just a fiction ” said Sofia astonishingly .
“Yes I read the story about this. And I want to go there and clear all the doubts. So that’s why I am just following this map. Notwithstanding this is the last place according to map. So the place should be nearby here.. Do you know this place.”
” I have also heard about this story but I didn’t believe it to be true as I never went place of like this nor listen about this place nearby..”
“Oh.. ”
“But you believe this and come here traveling so far without even knowing that it’s true or not.”
“I am just curious to know. Perhaps it would real.” said Jacob showing his curiosity.
“Maybe.. but where the map show this place and the way to go there is covered with forest.” Sofia gave the direction of place.
“Forest.. then I think that is the only way to go since there is not any city or town mention ahead… Thanks for giving me direction.”
“What…means you are searching this place through forest.”
” Yes because I see this way only. I will go in the early morning.”
” Its really mad thing. Well best of luck.”
Everyone took dinner and went to sleep.
In the morning, Jacob got ready to leave as now he didn’t want any delay anymore.
” Thank you so much for giving me shelter. ”
“Please don’t say thank you. In fact we should say thank to you, we are very grateful of you that you helped us. I hope you reached your location.” said Sofia.
” Thank you… Goodbye”
Jacob left the place and he went toward the forest as Sofia told him.
Some time had passed. Sofia saw that Jacob had forgot his map in her house. She thought without this he will not able to find that place and complete his journey . She didn’t understand what she should do.
She told his father about this,”Jacob forget his map here. Without this he can not go further.”
“The guy helped us, thereupon now its our turn to return him back. We should give this map back to him so that he will reached to his destination.” said Jacob’s father.
“Let’s go…” said her father.
“Wait.. your health is not well. You should take rest, I’ll go and give him this.”
“No, I’ll come with you. Where will you keep searching alone.”
“I’ll manage everything. You just take rest. I’ll return very soon.”
“Alright. Take care of yourself. ”
“Hmm.. you both kept the door close and take care of father and house. If I take too much time then don’t stress I’ll come.” said Sofia to her siblings.
She kept the map in the bag, took it and went toward the forest.
Jacob crossed the path of one and half hour. When he reached from where the forest start, he stopped and put his hand in the bag to get the map. He was worried to find that the map was not in the bag. Suddenly then he remembered that he was drawn the map last night but he forget to take it back, now the map was there in Sofia’s house.
