At the beach

Feeling of the hot sand within my leg, and myself deep in watching the white- brownish water, coming and going.
Till I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned towards the touch.
Hey kiddo! What are you so engrossed about?
Nothing just free thoughts, and I told you am not a kid anymore, I'm 20.
Yeah you've grown so much, mikini replied back.
You're staring at me too much, is anything the matter I ask?
No Sarkaw, I just want you to think back to 14 years ago when we met.
What I was just six, how can you say that, I don't think I can remember anything, please do tell what you want to say, I pleaded.
I told you that I'll be with you every time of the day you want for 14 years.
And today is the last day you'll see me again, which is not my doing but our fate, what we are made of..
We choose whichever kid we want and be with them, so they don't feel alone, but only for 14 years, which after 14 years you would be a 20, and your journey to adulthood begins, Mikini finished explaining.

Just half way through her words, tears were already out of my eyes, because I started remembering the same explanation, that took place 14 years ago, so today's our goodbye, I'll really miss her so much.
Though she's older than me, I'm more than pleased to have met her, I swear.

Mom, Dad, hope you're finally happy, you've gotten what you want.
Everytime I make a walk towards the gate and they ask, where are you going?
I only have three words "At the beach".
Meaning they'll always find me at the beach.

I wiped my soaked face, and hugged, Mikini tight.
I promise you won't miss me or feel like a part of you is gone Sarkaw, said Mikini.

After the hug, nobody was close to me again, I was left to the air, I didn't even remember being with anybody.
God! Mom and Dad, I'm late again, I really need to stop thinking about this beach from today and focus on my studies, I pray that an email is already sent to me, I can't wait to be accepted into my favourite college, I thought, as I took a run to the house.



Not a poem but a short little story👌
