Love in the wilderness out of a nightmare

Abstract

The sun downs on Collin Byakatonda a 30 year old neoulogist as his bright eyes keep fixed at the dust of a speeding taxi with his hand in the air, waving and smiling all over. Joy Arinda a 24 year old young and excited fresh graduate is in high spirits, packing and dancing in her room getting ready to travel. As events unfold, she is yet to meet love and make long life beautiful memories though out of a nightmare. With all the excitement in the world, Mr. Nuwamanya and his entire family are setting off for their short holiday at Busowoka Falls in Jinja. Joy, Mr. Nuwamanya's eldest child is faced with a tragedy that separates her from her family, brings her planned holiday on hold and opens a new chapter in her life. Will she survive? Will her family get to see her after this? Joy terrified in her new environment meets this savage handsome hunter (Collins) in the middle of Mabira Forest. This meeting is strange and so the next events of their adventure together in this wild forest. Collins tries to win her trust but all in vain. Her desperency and urge to leave the forest drives her into following this stranger. Fear, mistrust and worry turn into a beautiful adventure as Joy gets to explore the beauty of this wild forest, things she never imagined to exist in the dark forest she always passed by with the savage hunter as her tour guide. In the forest, these two strangers are love birds singing along the rest of the birds, filled with love. They walk to almost all the parts of the forest even to the parts Collins had never gone to during his lifetime as a hunter. The sudden appearance of the main road amidst their promises strikes Joy to think about her family. Where could they be and where can she find them? She checks her pockets, since she has not changed her clothes, she finds some money. Remembering that it's their second day of their holiday at Busowoka Falls, it hits her mind that her family might be there. At that moment she jumps, hugs and kisses Collins but before he can take in this excitement, a taxi appears and Joy boards instantly though her eyes keep fixed in Collins' direction as the taxi speeds off lost in thoughts of her new found love and her family. Could this be the end of this love?
