How it all started

"Since when are you going to continue this attitude of yours! You behave like you are grown enough to take care of yourself! How many times should I tell you that! You will set the whole house on fire one day!"

"But mommy..."

"Shut the hell up!"

After scolding me, I run out of the house with tears trickling down my face. Behind me, I heard her shouting and making plenty talking. I didn't even turn to look at her. I knew very well she was telling me not to go to the sea but I don't care.

"What does she think of herself? She is my mom so she can talk to me anyhow?"

I cried the harder. I picked a stone and threw into the sea.

" I hate you mom! I hate you! Infact I hate everybody!"

I then sat down right in front of the sea with crossed legs like I always do. The level of the sea kept it position as the strong waves stopped. I took it normal because it wasn't a new thing. Suddenly, I felt somebody tickled me.

"Ahh don't tickle me! Stop I'm not in the mood! Hahahaha hihi stop!"

I rolled in the sand still with closed eyes as the person tickles me.

       I was there till almost daybreak. I felt no hunger nor thirst because that's where I found my comfort. I felt so released and relaxed. It was the only thing I had gotten by then. The sea was much worthier than a best friend to me. But one annoying thing about it was that,it would never allow me to go anytime I told it that I'm leaving. I could snub it and be like "whether you like it or yes I'm leaving!"... So shocking that as far distance I go away from it, it could come all the way hundred metres to drag all the sand under my feet. 

We became too close that,we understood each other's language. So anytime it does that, I knew it's trying to stop me. It wished I could stay there forever. I had the same wish too,but mom would always come and drag me home. If it were a human being, his tears would fill a whole poly tank.

"Marcel!"

I quickly turned even though I knew who it was and what was about to happen.

" I thought I warned you not to get closer to the sea again!

" Yes mom, you did, but it's my friend..."

"Upon all the toys and friends you've gotten in school, how can you take the sea as your friend? it will take you away one day! Never trust the sea! The sea can never be trusted. How many times do you want me to say that!!!"

I got crossed by mom's words. How can she give bad recommendations about the sea? I angrily run into the sea. I went far to the middle where mom would even be scared to get there. She was shouting and making a whole lot of noise. She was ready to do anything possible for me to come out.

I didn't intend to play stubborn. My only motive was to clear her misconceptions about the sea. I got drawn. But so shocking water was not going through any of my entrances.

"If you want me to come out,then promise not to come between me and the sea!"

"you already have my word dear. I promise to do anything for you, but for now please come out."

Those were the last statement in my ears. Suddenly I felt nothing.
