Against destiny: A Quest for Life
When he regained consciousness, Then he felt a strong wave of pain in his head, and he shouted in pain. He now found himself lying in another, larger ship. And he was completely safe on that ship.
A lot of people were standing around him, And the emotions expressed in the eyes and faces of all of them indicated that some terrible incident had happened. something that shouldn't have happened.
There was a strange silence all around, The waves of the sea had now become calm again, as if they had vented out all their anger on someone. The rays of the sun on the horizon outside were returning by touching the sea surface as if they were offering their light as a tribute to someone.
He got up and ran out, and he saw some parts of his ship floating around him. A life-saving boat was floating in peace. He recognized that this was his boat. Whom maybe! His family members would have tried to use it as a final attempt to survive after the ship was destroyed.
Some people were trying to get the dead bodies out of the water. He had no difficulty in guessing whose dead bodies were. But these bodies belonged to only his sister Sofi and his grandmother Elizabeth. The remaining bodies were either absorbed into the depths of the sea along with the ship, or they would have flowed far away in the grip of the storm.
In the silence after the storm, Benjamin realized his family's loss. He sat there on his knees and bowed his neck with shame and sadness. Tears flowing from his eyes were showing the pain that the words cannot express.
The moment of that moment turned his life into a huge void. The whole world has suddenly become lifeless, and for that, the world has become empty. At that moment, the time has stayed, and the silence and sadness, which were all around, were only expressing sympathy to him, and paying tribute to all of them who lost their lives in that terrible accident.
"Benjamin's tenth birthday was celebrated yesterday. His grandfather Henry gifted him a special chess set. Grandma Elizabeth prepared a beautiful diary for her. And her mother gave her a special kind of binocular. He could measure the vastness of the sea and the sky with his eyes.
Her elder sister Sofi gave her a harmonium, And Alice presented him with a painting that showed the whole family celebrating Benjamin's birthday on that ship. This was the best gift of all. That's why everyone praised him. Benjamin held her tightly in his arms. At that moment, her eyes were moist; Alice was truly a wonderful painter.
But along with them, all these gifts were also covered in the depths of the sea.
Now, the guests who attended his birthday and the magnificent gifts given by him were alive only in his memories.
His favorite dog, Bennett, And two cats, Misty and Tabi, were also parted with it.
Only his father's clock is the only sign of his family, which he still has.
But now, all these were just empty dreams.
"He had tears in his eyes but did not have the power to cry. He just sat there, staring at the sea. His mind was scattered in a thousand pieces. He was missing how he used to play chess with his grandfather, How his grandmother used to tell him stories, and how his parents used to make sand palaces with him. And started crying bitterly. His closest partner was Sofi, who used to give him strict competition in every case.
Now the ship was taking him to the place where he had lost his whole world.
He looked at those cool waves of the sea. The time passed slowly and he went away from the invisible tombs of his own family anymore. The sun was slowly drowning.
He took out a clock given by his father as a gift before his birthday. The tick of the clock was reminding him of his father. He put the clock in front of his moist eyes and said softly, "Now we will never be able to go together, right?"
As the ship went away, Benjamin closed his eyes.
"Grandpa, grandmother, mother, father, Elis and Sophie, I miss you a lot. I know you will always be with me.
He was looking at the place by staring at the place until he disappeared from his eyes. As if the ship is trying to take him away from all those memories. Then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The challenge that Benjamin has presented to God. To know that, wait for the next chapter of the story. If you liked it then please like it, I don't think there is any harm in it. If you have any suggestion for me, please give it. "Thank you"
