"Remember  nobody  is good or bad. They are either  strong or weak. Strong people stick to their morals, no matter what the trials or tribulations. Weak people, many a times, do not even realise how low they have sunk"~ Amish Tripathi, The Secret of  the Nagas

"I can't believe you got us arrested!," Jason said, disappointment vibrant on his handsome face. The four of them were sitting behind the bars. Agnes laughed.

"Oh God, Jason! Do you really think we are going to stay here for more than 30minutes?," she said.

"It's not that, Agnes," he replied. "What if the media--"

"My guards won't allow that to happen! Oh for the name of your holy books, just relax" 

Agnes and Jason were both well known in Dublin. Well, very well known. Media could arrive any moment, broadcasting them nationally. Jason sighed, shaking his head.

"Oooo.. love me like you do," Akane sang.

"Love me like you do... ye ye ...," Takumi joined in.

"Are you both mad?," Agnes turned towards them.

"We're bored, can't we sing for entertainment? You both are busy fighting, what do we do?," Takumi and Akane said in unison.

"You're the wind beneath my wings..... Did you ever know that you're my hero...?"

"Oh you both! This is something serious!," Agnes remarked.

"Serious? Don't be. This trip is for fun, people...," Takumi laughed.

"Look, Jason, I'm sorry. Now don't be that way," Agnes apologised.

"Is it too late now to say sorryyyy? I know that I have let you down.. is it late to say sorry now?," they sang.

"Yeah I know you both are born singers. Will you mind shutting up ?," Agnes said, slapping them on their arms. They laughed loudly.

The officers looked at the crazy four. They were surprised but more than that, they were amused. They were behind the bars. How were they singing?

"Ms. Fotaine, we are so sorry," four men dressed full in black said, opening the lock up.

Agnes smiled. "Don't worry about that"

"Mr.Marbles, are you hurt?," two men said, coming from behind. His forces.  "We have prevented the media situation. There is no need to worry now"

He sighed. "Thank you, my men"

The six of them bowed at their masters, as they left.

"Men in black. I saw them live right now," Akane whispered.

"You're right, sis. Absolutely right"

"We can go to my place," Jason smiled.

"NO MORE GOING ANYWHERE!," Akane and Takumi shouted.

"Okay..okay..," Agnes said, holding her ears.

"And we have to go anyway. We're leaving Dublin, going to the Rings of Kerry," the guide interrupted.

They had heard, the place was beyond beautiful.

~'~

The Rings Of Kerry  was a scenic drive around the Iveragh Peninsula in southwest Ireland's county, Kerry. The four of them looked out of the window in awe. It was magnificent. The long driveway offered jaw dropping scenes including heather- topped mountains,  glacial lakes, waterfalls, lush green meadows, medevial ruins and what not.

"I wonder what on earth chained me from coming here," Agnes remarked, biting into her enriching dark chocolate.

"Me too," Jason replied, nodding.
Sometimes in life we are so busy, so occupied from our very own thoughts that we forget that beautiful things exist. We forget that somewhere, somehow, something is waiting for us, waiting to surprise us. Life is not a synonym  for surprise.

The four of them were stopped at the Lady's view. It was a green slope, adorned with pink and violet flowers. It was so beautifully green, it looked like a deep sea of green filled with pink and violent fish, swimming happily around.

"Why is it called the Lady's view anyway? Are only ladies allowed to see it or something?," Takumi frowned.

The guide laughed. "No, it is called so because when Queen Victoria came to Killarney she was told that this was the loveliest view and so she sent one of her ladies-in-waiting up to see it and the woman reported that it was a view 'fit for a lady'"

"Ooooh," the four of them said in unison.

"Can we sit here for some time, Mr. Guide?," Agnes requested.

"Sure, Ms. Fotaine. Not for too long though"

"Yessum. Thank you!"

The four of them sat down on the green grass and looked at the alluring view that lay ahead. The distant mountains, the glacial lakes, silently flowing. Far, and yet so near.

Agnes looked at Jason. He was making a crown with the sweet smelling flowers.

"What are you doing?," she asked.

"Being romantic," Akane filled in. Takumi laughed along with Jason. Agnes shot her a look.

"Making flower crowns, Agnes," Jason replied. "Here". He handed one to Akane and one to Agnes.

"Thank you," they said in unison as they wore it. He was such a gentleman.

"Ahem ahem," Agnes said, getting up. "I demand you to listen to the queen"

"Yes, my lady?," Takumi said, immediately getting into the act. She smiled.

"I want this man beheaded," she pointed at Jason.

"But why, my lady?," Takumi asked.

"Is it for stealing your heart?," Akane smirked. Agnes' cheeks seemed to have a sudden supply of blood as they turned red.

"No. I want him beheaded for being so handsome," Jason laughed at her words.

"OOOH"

"And next comes Takumi Asahina," she continued. Takumi laughed.

"Earth to the queen! Earth to the mighty queen!," they said in unison.

Well, whether she was a queen of a kingdom or not, she would be the queen of Jason's mighty heart.

They drove along the rings , watching the various mountains, the valleys and the lakes. Finally, in the evening, they were offered to rest on White Strand.

'White Strand' was a beach in the Rings of Kerry, having white sand. Behind the sands was the remnant land vegetation. The sun was slowly setting into the horizon, its twilit rays spreading in the sky forming the light colours of  light pinks ,cherry reds and mango yellows.

"Mr. Guide is taking us to a restaurant! Are you both coming?," Takumi asked.

"Nah, I'm not hungry," Agnes replied.

"Me neither," Jason said.

"Alright! We'll be right back after satisfying the roaring lion in our abdomens!," they said and ran behind the guide.

Agnes smiled and sat down on the soft white sands, admiring the rays that fell on the light waves of the water. Jason took his seat beside her. They silently looked at the waves- forming, falling, rising, resting on the shore for a micro second and being pulled back again.

"Waves... they make me feel sad," Agnes said.

"Why?"

"It's like they finally come to the shore, to rest with the sands , to explore the eternal happiness. But then again, they are pushed back, constantly, as if being said that their journey is not over and never will be..."

Jason smiled. "It teaches us the lesson on life, doesn't it, Cherry?"

"What lesson?"

"I guess it tells us how our lives are. We struggle all our lives, always. Fighting our problems, like they are demons on our way. But as we end one, another one stands, this time, stronger than before. When we do finish our lives, like, when we do die, it is believed we are born again. In another form, like a continuous cycle of life. But someday, we do get rest, we do receive eternal happiness, Agnes. We just need to wait, patiently, and it will come."

Agnes looked at him with admiration in her eyes. She felt a fire ignite in her soul. The fire of love. The sky slowly blushed black. Tiny white stars twinkled.

"Ever star gazed on sand?," she whispered, as she lay down.

He shook his head as he shifted, maintaining a distance from her so that she doesn't feel uncomfortable. Then, he laid down.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

He nodded.

"By the way, you were writing a new book called in three hundred and--"

"Errrr"

"WE ARE BACK!," Akane and Takumi smiled. Agnes heaved a sigh of relief.

"Come on you both. Lay down and star gaze,"she said, as they laid down.

The four of them watched the stars, lost in thought. And as the stars twinkled in the night sky, the tiny fire in the couple's heart burnt, blazed and danced in the desire of love.
