Nikki and Kaushik sat side by side on the sandy shore, their toes buried in the warm, grainy embrace of the beach. The rhythmic ebb and flow of the ocean waves created a soothing melody, as if nature itself was composing a symphony of tranquility just for them. The sky above was painted in hues of orange and pink, a breathtaking display of the evening's descent into twilight.
As they sat there, a sense of serenity enveloped Nikki's being. The vastness of the ocean before her seemed to mirror the vastness of her inner self, and in that moment, she felt a profound connection with the world around her. The worries and stresses of everyday life melted away, replaced by a profound sense of peace.
Kaushik turned to Nikki, his gaze reflecting the awe and tranquility that mirrored her own. "How blissful it is to witness this beauty," he whispered, his voice carrying a hint of reverence.
Nikki smiled softly, her eyes shimmering with a mixture of contentment and admiration. "Yes," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's as if time stands still in this moment. The world may be in constant motion, but here, with you, watching the waves, I find solace."
they sense profound peace and felt deep conversation in silence and started to negotiate with ocean to show her grace to make peace after a while nikki broke the silence
She asked "lets make this moment more special do you have headset?"
Kaushik "yes good idea I'll play song in spotify"
He played the Hindi old 80s song "Bade Achhe Lagte Hain." She didn't understand a single word of it.but she enjoyed the music nonetheless, swaying her body to the rhythm. He murmured the lyrics, swaying his body to the beat, and looked at her. She looked back, her eyes conveying an understanding beyond words.
He asked, "Do you know what these lyrics mean?"
She shook her head, indicating that she didn't know the meaning of the lyrics.
He explain "bade ache lagte hain(these thing are beautifull)
ye dharti,ye nadiyan,ye raina(this earth,this river,this night)
aur?aur tum(you and me)
na jaane kab hoga(dont know when will it happen)
ye mausam,ye batien, ye uljhan( this season, this talk,this confusion)"he humming
hmmmmmmm....
She looked at him with admiration, captivated by his enthusiasm and connection to the music and lyrics .He gently placed his hand beside hers on the soft sand, creating a tender and comforting connection between them. His hand touched hers, and he looked at her, seeking confirmation and concern. As she held his hand, it felt as if the world and reality around them had momentarily ceased to exist. In that suspended moment, they were immersed in their own little universe, where time stood still and everything else faded away. They felt an ownership of this moment, as if it belonged solely to them. In this world they had created together, they found solace, happiness, and a deep sense of belonging.
Nikki's sudden withdrawal of her hand, coupled with a hesitancy in her demeanor, caught the attention of the person standing next to her. Sensing her change in behavior, he looked at her with concern and gently asked, "Nikki, is something wrong? You seem hesitant. Is everything okay?"
Nikki met his gaze, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions—confusion, doubt, and a hint of vulnerability. She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before finally speaking. "I... I just had a realization, a moment of clarity," she began, her voice slightly wavering. "The calmness of the ocean and the tranquility I felt for a brief moment—it made me question things."
Nikki said I'm sorry.
Kaushik: "I m sorry if I make you feel uncomfortable."
They both tend to be quiet while listening to the wave sound.
Nikki "What remains in your mind when you see the ocean?"
Kaushik, "HER ANKLET"
