“Oh! Dad where are you? Mom told me that you have made a new home for yourself and living there on sky. You went away living us behind in a world where you are not visible. This sea-shore was your favourite. You used to bring me here often, do you remember? You used to ask me to make a castle on the wet sand and it was our dream house. Right! Look here , I have made the same castle, and we now have our dream house in real too . But dad , you are not with us. Look at this orange sky, which you often used to paint in your book. The layers here too are asking me about you . Tell me dad, what should I answer them ?”

A young girl was talking to the sky, all alone she had come there to meet her father. She was lost in her dreams. There she saw a small girl had come with her parents. They were walking on the soft sand and the little girl was playing with the sand. It seemed she was searching shells, she saw her collecting sand after digging and making a dream castle.

The little girl was the reflection of the same girl! Tears from her cheeks could not stop. She went to the little girl and asked her if she could help her making her dream castle. Her parents saw these two girls making it and they too joined them .

The waves , it seemed to have come from her dad in the sky, the layers came to touch her with a soothing and affectionate touch of it made her feel that her dad was with her as always
