Whispers Of The Shadows-The UNKNOWN

Blossom of LOVE (Part- 2)

The car ride was quiet and uneventful until Zahra caught sight of a quaint little café tucked away in the distance. Her eyes lit up, and she impulsively urged Victor to pull over.

Victor you need to stop the car right now I saw something, I have to get it fast.

What happened, what did you even see?

I just spotted a little café that sells bubble tea and desserts I have to stop and get some!

What the hell we are literally in the middle of the road come on you can have it later.

Shut up. I am going to the café, pull over to the side fast.

Despite of all the saying Zahra went out and bought the dessert and bubble tea for herself and a cake for Victor.

Here for you take it and don't you dare to ask me more,

Zahra said it with a teasing yet firm tone, making it clear she wasn't going to share.

No I am fine, I don't like desserts much. Shall we go now?

Yeah yeah let's go.

With that they again started the journey towards their destination.

The car rolled to a gentle stop, the tires crunching softly on the gravel. Zahra's eyes sparkled with curiosity as Victor opened her door, extending his hand to help her out. The scent of the sea was the first thing that greeted her a fresh, invigorating aroma that hinted at salt and freedom.

"Wow,"

Zahra breathed out, stepping onto the sandy path. Before her lay a breathtaking view of the ocean, the water stretching out endlessly, kissed by the golden hues of the setting sun. The scene was picture-perfect, like something out of a dream.

"I knew you'd like it,"

Victor said, his voice warm and slightly playful. He glanced at her with a smile that was equal parts proud and mischievous.

"I figured you could use a break from the city. You work too hard, you know."

Zahra laughed softly, shaking her head.

"Says the man who practically lives in his office. But this... this is incredible, Victor. I didn't know there was a place like this so close to the city."

"It's one of my favorite spots,"

He admitted, guiding her down the path toward a secluded wooden deck that jutted out over the water.

"Not many people know about it, so it's pretty peaceful."

The deck was simple but charming, with two comfortable lounge chairs facing the horizon. A small table sat between them, adorned with a bottle of sparkling water, two glasses, and a bowl of fresh strawberries.

"Wow, you really went all out,"

Zahra teased as she walked over to the edge of the deck, looking out at the gentle waves. The ocean seemed to glow under the fading light, its surface shimmering like liquid gold.

"Just wanted to make sure you enjoyed yourself,"

Victor replied, his tone light. He joined her at the edge, their shoulders brushing lightly as they stood side by side.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. They simply stood there, taking in the beauty of the scene the rhythm of the waves, the call of distant seagulls, the warmth of the sun slowly dipping below the horizon.
