She was staring at the empty beach more out of fatigue than the expected awe. She had heard a lot about this place from her friends and it was her dream to come here and stay for a day. She hated beaches in general but this one in particular had pulled her right from the moment she had heard about it.Now here she was and all she felt was the tiredness and pain due to the long bike ride.
There were a million things going on in her head. Is it a good idea to stay here today? If we do, tomorrow we will have to cover a distance of 500 kms in one day, which would be a crazy one. Its the 31st of December, a day she had decided to make memorable and now suddenly she was concerned only about getting back home. Is this why they came all the way riding to see the year whiz past them? Besides how could she ruin his time by thinking only about herself?
She looked at him, he was walking quietly besides her. The beach was empty with not a human around except the two of them. She looked around, it was sunny, secluded and her gut told her that there was more to this place than what she was seeing right now. They kept walking till they reached the coconut tree groves. She went on till she found a nice tree and just collapsed below it. The canopy of the coconut tree leaves, the filtered sunlight, the silence and the pleasant sound of the waves were soothing.
He came around, sat beside her and asked her,"What have you decided?" She was just drinking in the beauty of this place and trying to think. That mind which was full of turmoil a few minutes ago had now gone into a slumber. She asked herself,'What is it that you want to do? Remember you had decided to follow your inner child when you started on this trip'
That did the trick. She could almost hear her heart screaming,'Chuck everything and stay here tonight. Tomorrow is not just another day but another year. We will tackle it tomorrow. This year deserves an awesome goodbye. Explore this beautiful place, watch the sunset, go into the water till your fear permits, write on the sand and build castles of beautiful memories. I promise you, you won't regret a thing!'
This brought a smile on her face. She looked at him and said,'Lets stay here tonight.'
This decision of hers not just gave her one of the most beautiful memories but also made her realise that when you follow the voice of your inner child, you can never go wrong.The next day was crazy of course but she also knew that she had extended her limit of being a pillion way beyond her capacity and how!
So when in doubt, don't forget to just calm yourself and try to hear what your heart, your inner child has got to say.
