A DA Y AT THE BEACH
In the year 2006 on Independence Day
At the beautiful marina beach in Chennai we
dressed up in our traditional's
My family decided to have a small picnic at the
beach for this occasion
As we reached I could not take my eyes of the
beautiful sea!
My curious 6 year old self went
running towards the shore
Reaching the shore I decided to start playing
with the chilly water.
I had not anticipated the depth of the water and
before I knew it, I was engulfed by a massive wave
and was completely drenched
I threw my hands in the air and struggled to get
back towards the shore
My parents who were busy unloading the car, heard
the ruckus and turned around to see their precious
daughter waving about in the water
They dropped everything and rushed towards me
My father was barely until his knees
in the water and reached out to
fetch me
My parents then held each hand and lead me out of
the water extremely worried if I was okay
The three of us stood together in the shore, gazing at
each other
And suddenly we burst into laughter at the memory
of the moment that passed
Later ,we then walked back to the car to dry up
We strolled along the beach with our baskets in
hunt of a good spot
The three of us started arranging
our chosen spot for our mini picnic
Once the mats were put out, I couldn't wait to eat
my favorite chutney sandwiches made by my mother
I spent the rest of the evening with my family
attempting to draw in the sand with various
sticks
We watched the sunset together from the marina beach,
ending the day in the most heartwarming way, with
memories that will live on in my heart forever
THE END
