A cool breeze blew, and they sat looking at the waves drifting through their feet. Swati held Ashwin's hands and looked at him. She asked, "What are the waves trying to say? It looks like they keep on repeating, but no one is listening. Isn't it?" "Her beautiful eyes are like waves too, awaiting answers to her questions, and equally, I, too, wait for her questions because I love answering each question, and I know I'm the only answer for her life." Ashwin thought for a while.
With a smile, he answered, "We need to come here together every day to understand the waves and to be friendly with them. On doing that, I think we shall get your answer, too." Holding his hand tightly, she said," Sure, I shall come daily with you."
A cool breeze tousled her hair, and she gracefully shifted it to the other side of her neck. Ashwin looked at her and asked, "Do you love me, Swati? Smiling, she replied, "Come here daily with me, and you will get your answer." He could see the answer in her beautiful eyes. She caught hold of his arms, and together they started walking through the beach. The sun slowly disappeared into the horizon, leaving behind the beautiful orange sky, shining through the clouds, just like Swati leaned and placed her head on Ashwin's shoulder, and Ashwin felt the glow of her smile through her tousling hair.
