With the Sea.....!
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The old, treasure chest lay exposed when the storm retreated.He was in the middle of the sea with his boat moving forward.The net this time hold a box.The movement of the boat was not easy in the hard storm.Dark clouds scattered all around brought a hard long rain.In the extreme cold his hands can't grip his old net and boat.
It was the second day of his starvation!!!.The rain throughout made trollers away from moving into the external sea.!
For trollers, sea is a symbol of their hope!...holding wonderful sea animals like shark,shell fish,jelly fish,turtles....They were attracted to the magnetic blue colour of dispersion!.They love the salt,minerals and oxygen dissolved water.They like the wind which help to move in the desired direction.They dreamt the colourful diversity of coral reef inside using face mask,cylinders and swimfin.
A handful of rice was left in a bowl in his widened hut!.Two narrow holes in the palm leaves roof brought the rain inside the hut...a moistured floor with mud !The maintainance of the hut,net and boat were made before five years back.
So before opening it he think a while.....He never dreamt any luck...anytime...as life seems to be very dreadful for him....never brought any happiness...calmness...Two years back his mother ,wife and son died of starvation...just like this....a rain through out...That event make his thought hot sometimes....he can't recover from that pain....!
When he opened the box of treasure,he can't believe his eyes...It was full of gold coins and gold ornaments other precious things....seconds of brightness persist in his face.Suddenly he feel so sad.When see things enormously anywhere his heart break off with pain....Even a little of this in hand is enough to save three lives....remain them alive..!
With the enormous wealth in hand,What do I do?I can't bear it....I can't handle it....It is too late...to think...hold....and handle....to be wealthy...so he tried to let it flow down the sea...but he can't.....a person of hunger....a person of extreme starvation...is trying to unhold....avoid a treasure...
What a man he is?...Is he really egoistic?
How can a person living without essentials able to avoid wealth?How he make use of it with extreme pain?How he handle it with pressure?Can he live happily with the gained treasure undisturbed?
Being in the middle of the sea....he is in a difficult situation...because of the treasure in hand....
Though there are different types of fishes in enormous amount still living in the sea ,he got only a few that day....!
It become injustice if he let it flow....deep inside....a treasure from the sea....unavoidable.....
Treasure ....told...make others envious.Some try to steal it...so everything is so dangerous...
He prepare food with the rice left in the bowl,burried the treasure box inside ..then went to fish market.When move infront of a wholesale fish market,he saw a huge rush inside !the trade between some trollers and merchants were going on diligently.Some individual consumers were also there...but he went to a retail market...sold his fish...gained only a little money....!!!
His neighbour asked.."I am watching you for few days....Why you are so gloomy...no money?....no fish...?no food?What is the reason?"
"Nothing...Money gained today is enough for me ...but yesterday more than enough...so for two days....I am thinking?What to do with that...?
We are really like sea animals...not saving anything...not expecting anything...live with what we get from the sea...No dreams,No hopes...struggling with the waves...focussing a world beneath...."
When stopped ,he started to convince him the importance of the situation"With the additional amount of money you can build a huge house and move to town......
can live with modern facilities...I don't know anything about others.I am not at all envious...I know you...your life....your despairs..!.Your progress...your betterment...it is a dream for us too...I mean to all people of my family..."
He asked him"Which type of fishing net do modern trollers use?I asked this because I don't know anything about modern trends...really I never watched it...I am not at all interested in that....I am always thinking about Money to remove hunger...just hunger...my net...my boat....is so old..."His sound was shivering now.
"Modern fishing nets were made of nylon,wool...made of silk..thread..modern boats with motor..he said"
"Most of the trollers life style were so much better than earlier days,I know...But there were a few like me,still in starvation.I decided to bought some nets,boats for them who were facing difficulties..in our seashore. ...really...really....Some money for the studies of their children...too every year....remembering my son"...His faces brightened
"Do you thought about it seriously?"
"Yes,I am"
"For you too...bought a modern fishing net...boat...!"he adviced
With different emotions mingled,he said,"I enjoyed fishing with this old boat...old net...I am satisfied with that...I am satisfied with this sea..I am satisfied with this sea animals inside....This is holding a treasure of pearls...corals...sometimes gold...silver too..This holding a wonderful world inside...it is enough for me...I wanted the company of waves,clouds and storm...I enjoy this miserable situation of starvation sometimes..!.so that each day for me is with hope....I enjoyed this hut of instability...so don't want to rebuilt it...It will remain as such..you don't know how I enjoy it?understanding it ,loving it ,than anything...than anything....!!!
