The Ocean of Sorrow

In the afternoon, a beautiful girl with a red hooded named Aisha looked sad on the seashore. She was sitting in the dock and kept looking at the blue ocean. The waves came crashing her feet but did not make her moved to another place. The shore of wind which blew till stabbed her bone did not make her eyes diverted to ocean.

That day, the sky was cloudless. She kept looking at the blue sea till the horizon began to return. She saw the fishermen who were getting back from the sea and bringing fishes quite a lot. The fishermen were greeted by their family who had been waiting for them at the edge of the ocean. Seeing something very emotional there, her tears soaked her cheeks. She thought of his family who had gone and left her alone.

That girl hated the sea because that’s where her family lost and died. It happened about 4 months ago when the ship that brought them from across the island was on fire and sank in the ocean. All her family died and lost including her mother, father, and brother. However, Aisha survived from the accident.

Until now, Aisha always comes to the beach every day to look at the ocean because from that place, she could remember her beloved family and remember the happy memories that they went through together. Her tears were rolling down her cheeks until the sun disappeared entirely behind the ocean.
