Somethings are Meant to Be

Chapter-14

~ Third Person Point of View~

From a distance, the scene on the beach was a picturesque tableau of tranquility and affection. As the sun dipped lower toward the horizon, it cast a warm, golden light across the sand, creating a serene, almost magical atmosphere.

'Where am I' Afra wondered

On a large, spread-out blanket near the water's edge, a couple sat together, their silhouettes softly illuminated by the fading sunlight. Shumi and Jewel were nestled close, their forms comfortably intertwined. The soft, warm glow of the setting sun bathed their faces in a gentle light, highlighting the joy and contentment in their expressions. Shumi, her hair gently tousled by the sea breeze, leaned her head against Jewel's shoulder, her face lit up with a radiant smile. Jewel's arm was wrapped protectively around her, his gaze fixed on the horizon, reflecting a look of deep happiness.

As the sky transformed into a canvas of vivid colors—shades of pink, orange, and gold blending seamlessly—the scene took on an ethereal quality. The reflection of the sunset shimmered on the calm, rippling surface of the sea, turning the water into a glittering expanse of light. The first stars began to appear in the deepening blue sky, their faint twinkle adding a touch of magic to the evening.

The blanket, which Shumi and Jewel had brought along, was a cozy haven against the cool evening air. They were wrapped in it, their close proximity and intertwined fingers suggesting a deep, intimate connection. The nearby lantern, casting a soft, warm glow, illuminated their faces, enhancing the peaceful and affectionate atmosphere.

The beach was largely quiet, save for the soothing sound of the waves and the occasional distant call of a seagull. The couple's laughter and gentle conversation had given way to a comfortable silence, punctuated only by the rhythmic clapping of the sea. They seemed completely absorbed in the moment, savoring the beauty of the sunset and the serenity of their shared experience.

From the vantage point of an observer, the scene was one of perfect harmony and affection. It captured the essence of a serene, romantic evening—a snapshot of two people fully immersed in each other's company, framed by the breathtaking beauty of a sunset on the beach.

'What's going on why are they happy?' Afra questioned herself.

She glanced at the time clock, perplexed, trying to determine which universe she had ended up in. To her astonishment, she realized she was in none other than her own.

What she witnessed was beyond her wildest expectations. Her parents, who usually bickered at every opportunity, were now sitting together, seemingly lost in each other's company.

Intrigued and curious, she decided to observe them closely. She watched them until they eventually left. Driven by a mix of curiosity and disbelief, she recorded a random time and date to see if they continued to be harmonious or if they reverted to their usual conflicts.
