It was nice in the morning. Not very humid today, I thought while I was jogging on a beach. I always enjoyed my morning jogs on the beach. After the jog today, I sat on the sand for a while to relax. I was breathing hard but my mind was fresh and energetic. I love my jog time, one hour..it's fully mine.
Lot of people today, I thought. Everyone trying to be fit :)
As I sat on the sand and relaxed, I closed my eyes to take a deep breath. Cold breeze passed touching my cheeks. I always loved the smell of sea breeze. Listening to the waves of ocean made me strong. Wow! What a feeling. Just then I felt something wet crossing my legs...like a snake. Couldn't be snake, i thought. I opened my eyes to see what it was. OMG!! I saw some green color creepers from ocean wrapping around my ankles. Before I could react, It dragged me into the ocean. Within fraction of a second I was in water. I tried to latch onto everything I could. It was waste. It could pull me effortlessly. I tried to take one big breath just before drowning. I was beating my legs and hands hard to escape. Nothing was helping. I got so tiered and finally I stopped. I was completely immersed in water. I could not hold my breath any longer. I left all the air I had held in my mouth.. I thought that's the end. I badly needed to breathe. I tried to inhale now. To my surprise I could breathe easily inside water. I relaxed and tried to look around. It was little dark. Could see few colorful fishes and sea horses around. I wanted to release my legs from the creepers. Just then my hands reached my legs, there was nothing around my ankles. I could not believe what was happening to me. Just then there was a bright light from one direction, it was so very attracting me and I started swimming towards it. I was mesmerized. I had no control over my actions. I could not stop from swimming towards it. It was very bright and I could not see anything..I can't explain how happy I was. It was a feeling of meeting The Almighty. I will get answers to all my questions I thought. Just then a voice from the light said. "Your purpose of life is this. Your prayers are answered." I stretched my hands towards it. I felt something in my hand. I could not see. I was all smiling.. Very happy... I stood there mesmerized by that feeling. Just then I was pulled out from there. This time I dint resist. I had surrendered my self to the light. I don't know what happened after that.
Few seconds later, I was on the shore. Lot of people around me asking if I was alright. They told me that I was drowning.. But they also told me that they were surprised to see a smile on my face all through out.. A while later everybody left, I tried to remember what had happened. Just then I realized I had something in my hand. I was gifted a shell, size of my palm. I opened thinking that there could be a precious pearl inside it. It was the most precious thing I saw.. It was my son
