.
We sailed in the direct opposite of the wind.
The raging storm was not treating us with sympathy, we all looked at each other in the eyes as we await our humble death. With fear, we clinched tight to everything that can be held for us to gain a stand in the ship.
But then there is just little chance to survive the trying time.
Amidst all these tribulations I asked myself what will I tell my mom when I get home but then again I heard another voice right inside me respond to that question. " Will you even be alive to tell your mom anything?"
At the sound of that voice, I felt a fresh fear right inside of me as I cried remembering the words of my mom to me before I got myself into this mess that is about to claim my life. The voice kept echoing in my ears " Please my son doesn't follow them.
That trip is a dangerous one you are about to embark on my spirit is against this trip."
But my ears were too stiff to even pay attention to what she was saying. I ignored every word that came from her.
Water splashed on my face and that brought me back to reality and this time the boat is already sinking as the pressure from the storm has splashed water into the boat and this is beyond our control even the captain in the ship has lost hope. We all were taking out last breath and praying for forgiveness of sin from God as no one will want to die and go to hell, how difficult is it for one to see his end coming close to him with no way to avert the impending calamity that is certain to happen.
At that moment all that ran through my mind is how I could ask forgiveness from my mom for not adhering to her words.
My mouth shook as I murmured the word.
"I Am sorry mom "
I promise not to disobey your words again if only I will survive this.
While I was still saying my last prayer and at the same time giving myself hope my heartfelt some kind of relief.
Then we discovered the ship was becoming stable even though the storm is raging but the surprise is that how will the sea not be stable but the ship is stable.
To an extent, it was surprising to all of us on the ship. What could be happening? Everyone on the ship asked.
While all these questions were going on a strange creature appeared to me and said
" All this is because of your mom go and tell her you are sorry."
But how can we go back I asked because we have sailed from a distant place.
Close your eyes and open it, was the instruction she gave to me when I did it by the time I opened my eyes I saw myself in front of my house. How it happened I can't tell.
Immediately I walked in and saw my mom sitting on the old couch in the sitting room her eyes were already swollen she cried all through, her eyes stared at me, and with the looks on her face I could tell that she is unhappy. And then the words came again from my mouth.
" I AM SORRY MOM "
