Through the Open Window.....

The sunset that day was very beautiful.The golden rays of the setting sun came in through the open window.Everything in the cottage glowed softly.The cool wind which blew at the time would calm down any troubled heart.The old man could not help going near the window and enjoying this beautiful time of the day.He stared at the distant hills,the small lake nearby and watched with interest the little lively public lane below.Slowly, an old familiar smile spread across his face.....
Meanwhile,the old Lady was doing her knitting watched him in nostalgia.The surrounding calmness and beauty reminded her of her younger days; the feeling of nervous excitement when he used to admire her beauty from his window,the days they had spent while running away,their loving kids,The hardships the faced together......And now he was here with her again enjoying the beautiful sunset,young at heart though he was old.She went to sit near him to get the feel of the cold breeze.But only then did she notice that the old man was no more enjoying the sunset but was keenly admiring a beautiful young girl of 20 who was doing part of her make up under a tree: putting her lipstick,adjusting her hair and so on.
But the old man was slow to adjust the expression on his face.Whereas this mere sight made the old lady go red in her face instantly.##******
Should I tell the rest of the story?????
