Four months later...

The calming sound of the crashing waves colliding with the compacted, wet sand on the beach created an alluring presence by the ocean shore.

It felt like a dream, as Leon held his heavily pregnant wife in his arms breathing in the freshness of cool ocean breeze.

Ella's spirit was in perfect harmony with the spirit of the ocean. It was as though she was communing with a mystical force Leon didn't understand.

Ever since they arrived at islafub island, a month earlier, she had made it a practice to walk by the ocean shore every 4:00 PM.

At first, Leon complained about this but after Dr Julie assured him that it was okay for her to take a regular stroll, he relaxed.

Leon understood that Ella missed his grandmother and father, hence the regular visit to the ocean shore.

Sometimes, she would plead that they camp outside the bungalow and other times, she would insist on taking a deep in the water.
