Spring in October still takes her by surprise. She has been in the new land for more than four decades now and still the colourful spring that suddenly wakes up at the end of the year just before a hot Christmas, amazes her. In her homeland, things were so different. But that was a long time ago. This is her home now, their home.
Fading old memories of home were playing in her head as she arranged the tea cups and cakes on the tray and carried them out into the veranda. She put the tray on the low table and sat down by his side on the bamboo seats. The weather was great and the view was breathtaking. She was so happy that they had finally purchased his small house by the sea. It was a secluded spot on the beach and rarely did people come this way giving them the experience of a private beach.
He touched her back softly as she leaned to pour the hot tea in the cups. His touch still gives her butterflies, even after all those years together. She looked at him with smiles in her twinkling eyes.
'I love the twinkle in your eyes when you smile', he said with a laugh.
'They twinkle just for you and never for anyone else.'
'Oh, you still know what to say to make me breathless, even after more than 30 years together', and he leaned forward to put a kiss on the corner of her mouth.
Sunset on the beach was her favourite time of the day, and he loved to share that moment with her. So they sat on the veranda silently. They have always had this thing of being able to communicate and bond in silence without words. The peace of their togetherness was enough, it was really more than any words can describe. As they sat there enjoying, a young couple in their early twenties appeared walking hand in hand on the sand, their laughter was loud. It reached the senior couple mixed with the sound of waves and pieces of incomprehensible words. It made them smile and look to each other. The younger couple started chasing each other, then the man grabbed the woman in his arms and splashed both of them into the waves as they kissed passionately. It was an amusing and joyful scene for the senior couple.
They locked their eyes with a look full of satisfied love, peaceful sustained love. They kissed and then he said, 'I wish we have meet when we were their age. I would have made you so happy and we wouldn't have had the hard experiences that we had'.
She answered smilingly,
'These hardships made us what we are, without them we won't be here today'.
He took her hand in his and held it to his lips kissing it so tenderly.
'Yes, my sweet jewelz.'
Her face blushed and the smile grew bigger on her face as she heard him call her this intimate name, only he uses.
'You know babe, I have lived with you all these nice experiences. I have spent my twenties and early thirties with you. We have gone to the beach, to movies and theatre, and even travelled. And you have carried me and spun me around like these two young ones are doing now'. And she pointed at the happy young couple on the sand a few yards away from them.
An amused smile shone his face. She always amazed him by her thoughts and ideas and he was waiting for a novel amusing thing now.
'And how is that?'
He said it half knowing what she will say.
'I lived it all with you in my dreams, in my daydreams when we were apart. I relived all my life with you. I experienced every experience with you. This is how I survived being away from you.'
He took her into his arms and their lips were locked in a deep passionate kiss just like the young couple laying on the sand a few yards away.
