Diya couldn’t help but smile. She was admiring Akshar in her mind. She said to herself, “Oh my smart husband. No wonder Akshar likes you more.” Akshar looked up and noticed that Diya was smiling at him. He was not sure what she was thinking but he knew the look in her eyes. He said, “Something cooking up there?” Diya said, “No. I was just admiring my husband” and she continued to smile. Akshar was done and got up t get another serving. In the mean time Gloria came by took Akshar’s seat. So Diya also got up indicating Gloria to stay with him until either one of them gets back. Gloria nodded. Diya joined Akshar in the line. Akshar asked her why she was smiling at him earlier in a whisper. Diya whispered back in his ears “I was quiet impressed by the way you handled him. I have never been attracted to you more in my life than I am right now.” Akshar’s expression changed instantly and he raised his eyebrows and whispered, “Hold that thought. I am almost done with my food. It is not every day that in a man’s life that his wife admires him and says that she is attracted to him. I want to capitalize on that.” Diya couldn’t help but laugh, but instead gave out a chuckle. It took a few minutes to get back to their table and by that time Alan was done and Patricia had joined them and all three were having ice cream. Alan had already dripped some on his shirt and was a mess. Diya sighed. Akshar instantly understood and said, “Don’t worry. I heard that they have a good laundry service here.”
Diya gave out a week smile in Akshar’s attempt to make her feel better. Akshar got a Mohito for himself and virgin pinna colada for Diya and all five of them went to the beach. The gentle breeze was welcoming and the waves were rhythmic and the walk on the sand was invigorating for her. She found a beach chair and sat on it buried her legs into the sand. Akshar sat right on the beach sad with Alan still licking his ice cream that was dripping from his elbow. In a couple of minutes they were joined by his sister and her husband. The two girls were playing with the sea water, their mom yelling on and off, “Don’t go in. Stay far back.” At one point Alan gave up on his ice cream and gave it to Akshar and ran towards the girls and joined them. At this point Akshar’s brother-in-law also joined them. Akshar looked at Diya and she seemed very relaxed. He asked his sister to keep an eye on Alan and turned towards Diya and said, “Come with me. Let us go for a stroll on the beach.” His sister immediately said, “That sounds like a good idea. Once you are back we will take out turn.” Diya said, “Definitely” and both Akshar and Diya started walking away from the crowd. When they were almost away from every one and were almost isolated, Akshar pulled her in front of him and kissed her.
