Short story: Beach, Sandhya and a Stranger
She sat at the beach looking at the waves coming and hitting the people standing at the shore. There are different people enjoying it in different ways. There are people of different ages. She looked at a 5-year-old child going towards the shore and running back again while giggling. How pure the smile on the child is!! Wouldn’t it be nice to be a child forever… to be loved and cared by everyone? No one talks ill about you and no one will have negative thoughts regarding you. She turned her head to the other side and found a young couple, who are probably in college, holding hands and walking along the shore. They are laughing to something and she can see they are happy. She observed them and wondered if their relation stays the same as time progresses or fades away with time. It’s been 2 years since she is married and she is feeling like her relation with her husband has lost its charm which they initially had. They had a fight 2 days back and now she left the home to stay away ...
