She is waiting for him to come...hoping
She stood on the beach looking at the sea for any ships or boats coming to the shore
for years she is waiting for him to return.  The Sun began to set and she still expect
him.  She was stamping her legs in the sand like a tree put on the earth. Her hair is
wet in the saltish wind from the sea.

She remembered his boarding the catamaran years before on his way to the other
shore for a better job. He wanted to make her happy by earning a better livelihood
by searching a job at abroad.  She still remembers his catamaran withering away
at the end of the sea up to the eye can catch. He said that he would send her a
message as soon as he reaches the destination.  She upholds the memory of his last
bidding of farewell by a gentle kiss on her lips. 

So many ships and catamarans went and came back on the sea shore.  She waited
his return and always inquired all the returned travelers about his whereabouts.
She could not get a reply from anybody about him.

The Sun has set. It is getting darker.  She thought of returning to her small hut
nearby.  She thought of the darker inside of her hut where she feels more insecure
than the dark sea shore.  Still she has to return to the hut.  She has no other
alternative. 

Reluctantly she started returning to her hut where darkness and aloofness awaits
her.  She murmured in her mind “Tomorrow he will come back” She fell into a
half sleep hoping for that tomorrow. Tomorrow........
