The Sea

Sea

Whenever I listened to the sound of the waves, many things has passed by in my mind. A beautiful beach where there were coconut trees here and there, the wet sands beneath my feet, the blue water of the sea that came to me constantly along the wave. The sound of the waves was so soothing to me and I couldn't help but to feel the gentle wind blew my hairs. It felt so refreshing. 

I loved to go to beach but what I loved the most was the sea. Because I really liked to swim. To feel the water beneath my skin as I was floating to see the bright blue sky was my favorite thing to do. 

Whenever I was resting at the beach while sunbathing, I couldn't stop to stare at the deep blue sea. It has so much mysteries, I knew it. It sounded terrifying but also made me excited at the same time.

Even until now, after what just happened, I still love the sea...

"Sir, what's that? Can you see it?" asked a young man to his senior who was busy tidying the fish net. They were some local fishermans whose barely escaped a deadly storm after sailing for a few days. They were lucky that they could survive the storm but their luck didn't long last as they found that the machine went broke right after they passed the storm.

"In case you've forgotten, lad, my glasses got thrown into the sea when the storm happened. So, I can't see without it." He said without taking his eyes from the net fish.

It was almost sunrise at the time but the clouds was scattering around the sun, blocking its light to illuminate the now calm sea. Even so, the eyes of the young man could still see very well. He kept observing the floating thing from where he stood. His hand tightened its grip on the thick rope that was supposed to be rolled neatly near his leg. He gulped for the third time since he saw the thing. He tried to denied what his mind has told him but he couldn't anymore as he saw what was it clearly now. 

"S-sir. You ha-have t-to see this." The young man stuttered. "Please."

"Tch... I've told you, brat. I can't see very well without my glasses." But the man finally moved his feet towards him. He leaned to the boat to see whatever made the young man terrified. What he saw was... You.
