THE TWO IN THE TWILIGHT.
David was standing almost at the brink of the cliff capturing pictures of the massive mountains underneath which were flowing many rivers. The horizon was adored with the shades of blue and orange, and was further beautified by the brightly coloured kingfishers in the order of cuculiformes taking a steady flight and a gentle dip in the air. The breeze was chilling and bore an odour as if some sweet cologne was sprayed in the ambiance.
Clifford was resting on his behind under the cone shaped tree a few yards away from David. David was retracing his steps back to the tree when he feast his eyes upon Clifford and desisted to walk for a moment .He was so immensely immersed in watching Clifford’s sullen movement of the hand on the blank piece of paper. He continued to stroll towards Clifford and sat on a rock just beside him, struck by his quality of being ambidextrous, David interrupted and said, "it’s a masterpiece , you should sell it, you will get a good sum for this one in exchange."Giving it a finishing touch Clifford replied" they don’t pay a satiating amount to break the ice. We will wait for the foreigners’ to visit our country, Japan, they are the true lovers of art. You can produce your photographs and I can present my art.""Hmmm not a bad idea. But I think we should return to the dockyard now , shugo must be waiting for us. "Retaliated David.
David and Clifford worked at the shipyard. David belonged to the aristocrat class of the society .Clifford could never figure out the ulterior motive of David working at the shipyard. Whenever Clifford would question David regarding this , he would change the focus or would simply retaliate by uttering just three words "interest in marine."David was immensely engrossed in photography and had earned fame for his skills of photography in the province of Kwachi. He normally clicked pictures of the nature in such a way that no element of the nature would be missing in the photo. He would choose an appropriate position to click the picture, generally a cliff at the highest level, and then would glance through the rectilinear lens for hours to click an excellent shot. I think we should take the trail through the woods, though it’s a bit petrifying during the sundown but it’s the shortest way back to the dock, said David. Clifford was of the same mind and consequently both started to stroll towards the woods and through. The trail through the woods was much tapered and around the tapered way was really tall grasses in which all sorts of flora and fauna dwell-ed. “You think the dock master Kushiro will increase our pay by a yen(currency) or two this year, I mean this year our work was way more impressive than the others in our slot, we made three floating yacht and lended a helping hand in completing one vessels construction” said Clifford. “I completely concur with your thoughts, this summer we have put in all our labors and have brought remarkable extemporization in the floating yachts. But I think that won’t be enough to amaze him, after all he is so old school kind.” David with a somber countenance said “may be your right.”
Their sluggish stroll or more appropriately their sauntering along the tapered path through the woods was still in process. It was beginning to grow quite dull as it was almost pass sundown.
