Chapter 21 - The simple joys of life.

As they entered the park, the whole environment seemed cool and pleasant, with the sky and ground colored blue with water everywhere.

There were smiles everywhere. People had left their worries behind, and were enjoying every moment.

Liqin seemed to see through the thoughts of Jia, and said, "You are smiling already."

"Life is very simple, and it would be joyful if we keep it that way. But man in his urge to make things sophisticated has twisted, and turned simple daily joys into a complex web of confusion. I would love, the simple joys of life to be cherished as memories."

Liqin smiled in unison, and said, "Hope we weave memories like these forever together."

He pulled her by her hands and added, "Come let's get ourselves changed, and cherish every moment to the brim."

Jia pulled him toward her, looked around, and responded, "Doesn't everything around look bright, and splendid? It seems like a fairytale with not a single gloomy face."

Liqin smiled, and nodded, and said, "Come one let's join the rivalry."

Time just flew, with every passing moment, and joyful ride. As the waters kissed them both, creating waves, and waves of memories, the distance seemed to dissolve slowly and paved the way for a newfound intimacy, that was not existent earlier.

Many times, their eyes met each other, deeply wanting to acknowledge their feelings for each other. With the newfound closeness, every breath of theirs seemed to acknowledge their yearning for each other.

Several attempts of Liqin to protect her from the crowd, landed her in his embrace so close, that she could feel and sense, his increased heartbeat, and respiration.

His deep eyes, seemed to communicate, his present desire unto her yearning innocent eyes. The feeling was now deeply mutual; however, both were wanting of perfect timing to confess.
