112 Gentle Voice (1/2)
Ever since I was a child, Rahul taught me to always honor my promises. To not break them no matter the cost.
Because if you make a promise and then break it, then is your promise really worth anything.
Does your words really mean anything if you can't back them up with your actions.
Rahul not only said those words to me, he proved to me that he was a man of his word by always keeping his promise.
And that was also the reason why he made so few promises in his life.
When you know that you have to fulfill your promise even if you have to go through hell to do it, you start to understand the true weight of your words.
I would never admit to Netra that I regretted promising her to stay by her side. But I knew it the moment I made that promise, that I should have made it.
After all, I had a family of my own to take care off.
Even if Big bro is stronger than me, and my little sister has two Hollers by her side who are just as strong as me, I would always worry about them.
But I made a promise. And if I don't do what I promised, then I would be spitting on everything that my big bro ever taught me which was something I would never do.
Now I was at an impasse.
I wanted to go back to my family once I was fully healed but I could not break my promise to Netra. Especially since I owe so much to her.
After thinking for a while, I realized that I was left with only one choice.
I had to take Netra back along with me.
But would she be willing to come with me.
I had no idea.
I had to ask her. After all, how would I know without trying.
But right now was not the time to ask her such things because she was not in the right mindset at the moment.
'So I'll ask her when I meet her the next time.' With that, I went back to my hut to sleep.
We were going on a hunt tonight. I would ask her before we leave for the hunt.

A gentle voice woke me up from my sleep and I realized that it was the most beautiful thing I've heard in my entire life.
I yawned as I got out of my bed and followed the voice coming from outside the hut.
'How long has it been since I heard a song.' I wondered.
The mechanic back in the camp sold songs and charged your mobile for 3 1st tier crystals. But after I beat the crap out of him and destroyed his equipments, I never went to his shop ever again. And even if I went, I doubt he would have given me his services.
Unless I threaten him. But I had already made a lot of mistakes back in the camp and I not going to create even more problems for my big bro so I never went back to the mechanic after that.
