The Cruise - A Miracle On Sea last part pg33 - Page 8

Sipping his black coffee maan looked out at the vast expanse of sea from his room. Looking at the ocean maan remembered his grand father. The man because of whom he is the man today. One of the most successful entrepreneurs of india still an unhappy man. His grand father though a business man had a great fascination for water . he was a swimmer and swimming was his first love. Business was only secondary.

I went to the bar to have a drink and soon saw myself with company of tiredness . I wished sam a good night and thrusted onto my bed hoping for a peaceful day ahead .

(End of Maan's POV )

Morning at the cruise was beautiful than ever . The sun shown brightly and its reflection with its radiance was shown in the saline waters . Maan looked at the vast expanse of the mighty water body.

For him , sea had always been the symbol of peace . Its calm waters played with his emotions and soothed his mind . He realized the reason why Ferdinand Magellan , the first person to circumnavigate the world named the largest ocean as the Pacific ocean . The word Pacific is derived from Peace . Perhaps , Magellan felt peace while staring at the calm waters , the way he experiences the same now .

Its vast expanse shows how world the large is and how small we are. Each drop of water splashed by the ship on its voyage shows that even though we are small we all play an indispensable role on this world . The drops of water even when splashed return back to its own place – the sea . This shows that we all ought to return back to our own places even when we are in our tough times. True that Drops of water make a mightier ocean .

The sea was a symbol of chillness ., not only by its temperature but also by its nature . It soothes the warm and burning mind and takes away the heat .

The sea was a sign of unity . All the waters from various rivers mix together to form a sea . It was the best example of Unity in diversity . The sea is impartial .

Strange that nature teaches so many things to us .

He had undertaken this cruise to relieve his mind . His heart was still not going with his huge decision while his business brain was agreeing . He wasn't a poor decision maker . Maan had never listened to his heart as there never came any such huge instances when he had to listen to his heart but he knew that heart always takes the right decisions and he did obey his heart coz he feared that his heart may go wrong and his belief might be betrayed .

He strode out of the room and walked through the corridors deciding to take a tour of the ship . He was crossing the corridor of the third class rooms when he saw a girl walking on the corridor with her back facing towards him . She bumped into a waiter spilling all the juice in the glass he brought on herself .

He heard her hurling some curses in hindi and the guy replying to her . it was a heated argument and maan went towards the duo .

"Madamji , it was ur mistake …….you were staring around failing to look straight ...you need to learn to walk "

"And you need to learn to talk ………..what do u think of urself ?? it was ur mistake and u are accusing me "

"Hey relax guys !!! I guess you are gaining more attention than required " maan told gazing at the people around them .

"He is the sole reason of all these troubles , you spoilt my dress " Geet told

"Madam ji ……………." The waiter began

Before he could tell continue maan pulled out a crisp note from his pocket and stuffed in the waiter's pocket .

"Dude , you better leave "

"Sir , I am leaving just because you are telling , advice the lady sir " The waiter told glancing at geet and rubbed his pocket and left

Geet stomped and turned on her heel but slipped due to the sticky mass of juice spilt and landed on her bum on the floor .

"Ouch " she yelled in pain .

Maan turned and saw her on the ground . He looked into her eyes and recognized her . Geet too looked at him and her eyes widened in shock .

Maan forwarded his hand and geet took it . Instead of getting up she pulled his hand with a great force that he too joined her on the floor .

"Opps……………..sorry ..i did not mean it " Geet told

"Its okay " Maan told relaxing

"You are her , right ? ? " maan told

"wat ??? Who are u talking about ..i have never seen you …hum aapke hain kaun " geet told in a single breathe

"Don't try to act smart !! I know you were the messy girl had stump my foot in the crystal ball last night "

"Crystal ball ??? I never came there ……I think you are mistaken , Master "

"No , I am sure ..coz you have the same beautiful eyes " Maan paused

Geet felt weird .

"I'm sorry for last night , actually I aint a trained dancer " She told embarrassed

"I realized this fact when u stepped on my foot last night "

"I am really sorry "

"Its okay , I guess you have to go....you are all sticky " Maan told as he got up from the floor and held his hand out .

"You sure , lord ??"

"Yeah " maan grinned

Geet got up and mouthed a thank you and left from there .

Maan looked down and saw a bracelet lying down . He took it and searched for her but saw o traces for her . He went to the reception and stood before the table .

"May I help you sir ??? " A lady asked sweetly

"Hm……. I want to know the room number of a passenger "

"Sure sir…………. Could u tell me the person's name sir ??"

Maan realized that he does'nt know her name

"duhhh………I actually dont know her name "

"Sorry sir , we could not provide you with the information without knowing the passenger's name "

"Its okay , no problems ...Thank you " Maan told and went to his room . He shut the door and looked at the bracelet in his hand . He placed it securely in his pocket and placed an order for a steaming hot cup of black coffee.
