He sits there silently, listening to the waves crushing on to the rocks below him. He sits and looks. But he doesn't see anything! No! He's not blind. Its the salty water in his eyes. They make everything blurry. Is he hurt? Is he sad? Is he happy? Who knows! He just sits there silently, under the blazing sun! He sits ans listens to the whisper. He listens to the whisper of the western wind...whirling around him. Isn't that a laughter? Why does it seem so familiar, who's laughter is that? He tries to listen more attentively. But there's only the wind, whispering so many sounds, so many words in his ears. Still the sound of the laughter remains in his mind..........making him dissolve into his thoughts....thoughts that bring him happiness, thoughts that make him feel, once he was also alive.......
It was full moon. They were lying on the yellowish sands. He had always wondered why they look yellowish under the white rays of the moon. Why not silver or some other colour? He asked Feona, "what do you think, why do they look yellowish?" Feona answered with a giggle; rolling her eyes, "Evan, when are you gonna stop your weird questions and think about me?" She stared at him with those lustrous eyes, playing the notes of invitation! He wasn't the one to back off either. He looked back at her with his blue eyes...almost glittering in the clear night. She turned herself fully towards him and said, "Evan?" "Hmmmm?" he replied. "why do you love me?" she asked. Evan made a thoughtfull face and answered lazily, "I dunno hun! I asked myself the same question, of why my heart starts beating as soon as I see you!" "I know, I'm too beautiful for you".....she said sticking out her tounge! He grabbed her hands and pulled her towards him and said "Oh, really?" "yes" she chuckled. He kissed her, kissed her passionately....making the blood race in her veins! She was inactive for a second, then she responded...with equal force....
The lovers lay there on the beach, where the warm water of the sea tingles their feet. They lay there in happiness, under the bright moon in each others arms.....till.....
"Evan, look! Those lights.....they are coming closer....he rises his body to see.....He sees only some lights.....coming towards the shore in a rapid speed, he looks with a sharp eye.......his senses become alert, "quick" he says. "Run to the house!" "what about you" Feona asks? "Go!" he says again. She starts for the house looking back at him with concern! He stands behind the coconut trees and watches with fear as the lights on the canoes come closer and closer......
To be continued............
