In The Arms Of Love

Part : 10

After safely regaining their balance, they retreated to the cabin. Inside, the confined space amplified the tension between them. Priya, trying to break the silence, finally spoke.,  her voice fraught with concern. "What are you thinking of doing now?"

"I don't know. We have to leave this boat, I guess."Ram Replied 

Then she said  " But the storm seems to be calming down a bit, and the sky is clearing out," she urged, her words a mix of desperation and hope.

Ram paused, And said  "Wait a second. What do you mean? This boat is going to sink any moment now" he exclaimed, his brow furrowed in confusion.

Priya Said "but if we can stay a little longer"

Ram cut her in the middle

"We simply have no choice priya. Can you start the boat?" he exclaimed, his frustration evident in his tone.

Priya let out a frustrated sigh. "I don't know what to do. We're trapped in the middle of the sea. We'll die for sure," Priya lamented, her voice tinged with despair.

"Oh, come on. Just let me think," Ram replied, his mind racing as he tried to formulate a plan to escape their dire predicament.

As the tempest gradually relinquished its grip, Ram's keen eyes discerned the silhouette of a shoreline emerging in the distance. "Priya, we've got to leave this boat now. I can see the beach; it's nearby," he announced with urgency.

Priya's brows furrowed in disbelief. "Leaving this boat? How?Is that even possible ?"

Ram's voice, steady but determined, responded, "We both can swim. Oh, come on, let's be steady, okay? On the count of three, we'll jump."

Priya couldn't help but interject with a hint of humor, "Have you seen Titanic lately? Trying to replicate that?"

Ram's patience waned, his tone firm. "It's not the time for jokes, Priya. Anyway, in Titanic, the guy died, so don't worry you gonna survive for sure."

With determination, Ram reached out and clasped Priya's hand tightly, ready to face the daunting task ahead.

Amidst the tumultuous waves, Ram and Priya plunged into the sea, their bodies slicing through the water with determined grace. As they submerged into the depths, Ram's steadfast grip on Priya never wavered, ensuring they remained tethered together in the swirling currents.

Beneath the surface, the world transformed into a watery realm of refracted light and muted sounds. With each stroke, they propelled themselves forward, their limbs working in tandem against the resistance of the ocean's embrace.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of struggle, they breached the surface, gasping for breath as they broke free from the suffocating grip of the sea. With a surge of relief, they found themselves at the edge of the shoreline, the sandy beach stretching out before them like a welcoming embrace.

Casting a glance at one another, their eyes spoke volumes, conveying a silent acknowledgment of the peril they had overcome together.

As they lay side by side on the tranquil sandy shore, the chaos of the storm behind them seemed like a distant memory. Above, the once tumultuous sky had cleared, revealing the serene expanse of azure above, adorned with the graceful dance of birds soaring freely.

Ram's voice broke the stillness, laden with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked, his eyes searching hers for any sign of distress.

Priya met his gaze with a nod, her breath still labored from the exertion of their escape. "Yes," she replied softly, her hand reaching out to clasp his in a silent gesture of reassurance. "And you?"
