Chapter 15

I looked on as the see off ended smoothly.After walking a few steps,she threw a flying kiss to mesmerize me again. As she left I started murmuring a very old folklore. Suddenly,I met Fernando doing something very consciously.When I reached near him, I saw he is examining a number of conch shells of different shape and color.

'Hi buddy !! what are you doing?',I called him as he couldn't see me.On hearing my voice he looked up,'You see, I'm collecting the shells'.

'You have already collected!! and now you are examining which one is the best!',I stated gladly.He laughed at me,'Friend, you are excellent observer'.His praise made me happy. 

'So,why are you collecting those like a little girl?',I asked curiously.

'I love to',he paused,'If I tell you the actual reason,you will laugh at me',he stated ; I promptly stopped him,'Have you ever seen me laughing at anyone?'

'Actually,me and Lisa exchange a shell everyday;that means, she gives me a conch and I give her one daily.It enlivens the spark and charm of love',he stopped to take breath, 'Everyday she collects charming shells as she swims deep into the sea, being werefish is advantageous'.

Fernando's word 'Werefish' made spell bound; in the time of storm he told it but I totally forgot. In the then time, I thought about it a bit ,then forgot everything. 

'Excuse me, Lisa is werefish?',I asked timidly.At first Fernando was a bit puzzled as he revealed this;then answeringly said,  'Yes,she is!'.

We sat there silent for a few moments; then he broke the silence,'And I  know Larissa is waterbender !'.I was silent hearing him;how could he know?

'How did you know?',I asked.

'Lisa told me; she saw her swishing water when she was swimming as a fish',he stated,'It's her basic instinct, she needs water to live,she needs to get soaked'.

'When did you know this? did she tell you?',I asked,just curious! and he smiled as he'd  gained something having her,'No,she didn't',he sighed,'I caught her in my net'.

'Oh Fernando !! you two will make a story'

'No !! you two',he shouted; we started fighting childishly on the beach; the sands got stuck immediately in our bodies,still we were laughing and fighting ; no sooner than we heard Lisa's tingling voice calling Fernando's name,we got up.

'Fernando,you are still a child',she started removing those sand particles from his body. I saw Fernando,as if he's enjoying it forgetting I'm still standing there.So, I coughed a bit,'Bye Fernando,bye Lisa'.

'Leo ,you are here,where is Larissa?',Lisa asked and again engrossed herself in him.

'She is at her home',I said and quickly started walking. While walking,I thought if Larissa was here she could have surely bathed me swirling the water!!!!
