10 Do We Already Know Each Other?

"My growing up years, which I now remember with such nostalgia, are suffused with the memory of beach, and the person who was the center of my world then - Riya." Ben thinks to himself.

There are many things wondering in Ben's mind though he was happy but also worried and tensed.

He couldn't understand whether to reveal about him so quickly or to stay calm for time being.

Riya was shivering because of cold breeze drifting. He looks at her with a worried face and places his jacket around her. Riya holds his jacket along with her hand. He holds her hand tighter and informs Jack

" Jack, please on the heater and also make the music low".

"Sure sir".

" In how much time we'll reach?"

" It takes around 15 minutes sir".

"Ok. Drive fast".

Ben looks grew significant. Sometimes he feels it was a dream. But then realised he did experience it and would be wrong to dismiss it as an illusion.

...

TEN YEARS BACK

It was hot summer weather could hear people screaming in joy and laughs.

In the beach, there was a small girl who was building the sculpture.

A boy came running and fell on the Idol which she was building.

That was sobbing as she was building the sculpture of her father.

" Hey, how can you destroy my idol".

" What did you say? Repeat again". The boy says in an angry tone.

She was frightened and said

" how can you do like that? Apologise or else ill call my parents."

while she was answering there came to a group of boys and laughing at her. The boy feels strong as he sees his friends.

Though that girl feels scared she still faces then like a warrior.

Seeing the boys messing up with the girl a boy who has a lovely face and a brave smile comes towards them and hits all the boys.

Those boys were frightened at the boy and ran.

"Hi, I am Riya. Thank you for helping me."

" Hello, I am Ben. can I help you to build the idol again?".

"It will be helpful". Riya agrees to him as she feels it was an important task to complete the sculpture.

They both started to work together and makes some gossips. Ben, helped Riya bringing the water from the sea.

Riya was happy that again she could construct the idol. Ben looks delighted and helps her.

Riya was sweating a lot due to the hot breeze, Ben who sees Riya offers her some water but she rejected.

She was so determined in her work and she was particular in each and every detailing.

Finally, after a lot of struggle, they completed the idol. Ben congratulates Riya for making it appreciable.

Riya was overjoyed and thanks Ben who helps him.

Riya brings his father to the place where the idol is made and he was admired by it.

" wow, Riya. This is great I am really impressed by it".

" Thank you, Dad. He is Ben who helped me to reconstruct it after being destroyed."

" Such a sweet kid you are. Keep it up, Ben."

"Thank you, uncle".

Their Fathers where friends, they used to talk about their matters and these people were in their joyful mood.

.....

Ben remembers the first meet and felt really extraordinary but due to the mournful event everything was destroyed and they didn't see each other in their lifetime.

Though Ben asked his father what made their Bond break but he never says anything to him and remains silent.

The only thing Ben knows is that there were some business issues between both of their parents which leads to the breaking up their bonds.
