OUR TWO WORLDS

Mermaid tears

"Ocean,ocean,wake up"I heard someone's voice calling me .

"Please,wake up"the voice pleaded sadly shaking my body. With that,I slowly opened my eyes to be greeted with mum's tears,she looked so pale and I could feel her hands shaking while holding me,there I knew something had gone wrong.

"What's it mum?what happen?"I asked as I use the tip of my finger to gently wipe away her tears.

Mum was never like that ever since Dad's death,maybe my fears all this while has finally come to pass.

Tears welled up on my face,already knowing what the matter is. Maybe I shouldnt have allowed her from the first place,but I was told happiness matters a lot,We shouldn't be deprived of what things that can give us joy right?,just like mum,as long as she's happy they should just let her be.

"Mum,you know what let just leave this place,let's go to the world you love,we can still escape." I assured wiping my tears,which has turned into a pearl as I weakly dragged my tail to the corner where I kept all those things she bought for me,precisely from that world.

"Oceane am really sorry,sorry for being a bad mum, sorry for being so selfish,am really sorry". She pleaded swimming towards me as she hold my two hands caressing it gently.

"Why did you keep saying sorry?"I shook my head.

"Is not like you left me,or you did something bad ,and... and..."I stammered."You will be forgiven,Dad was killed while trying to protect the kingdom,so they will consider that,they can't just take you also away from me".

At least,if they ain't gonna pity anyone,they will pity me,they can't just turn me into a fatherless and motherless mermaid.Those are my thought.

"I have to pay for my crime"she admitted in tears. "I shouldn't have fallen from the first place". She confessed more tears falling.

"Fallen,you were in love?with a human?"

I asked tears threatening to fall the more,which I couldn't hold back. I knew something was wrong somewhere,But that's not the solution,we needed to so something or else the worst might happened.

"Mum,please leave me here ,you need to escape"I pleaded.

"It's too late" She said and suddenly our door was flinged opened by the king's guard who entered with full force.

"Seize her!"One assumed to be the head commanded.

I quickly blocked then from reaching mum only to be pushed aside. I cursed myself for being the weak one as they slowly dragged mum away from me,uncontrollably tears streamed down to my cheeks.

"Please,please leave her" I pleaded weakly.

"She will never do that again I promise".

"Dad was killed in war,just to protect you ungrateful people"I shouted more aggressively making them stop in trance.

"It was your father's responsibility to pro the kingdom" One of them said with a smirk. Swears I will kill them.

"You bastard!I will kill you all with my hands" I shouted again at the top of my voice .

"Say your last word"Another said referring to mum who was only crying.

Only if they know how painful it is to see your own mother crying in front of you.

Knowing fully well that you can never see her again.

"Cave 18,farewell my stubborn oceane".

The guards looked at her trying to denote what she meant by the world,which I was already aware off.

In no time, they dragged her out,away from my reach,I stood up to run after them only to realize the door has been knocked.

I banged the door with all my strength,pushed the door with both my slender hands,shouted at the top of my voice, all to no avail.

I sat down weakly using my hands to draw my tail closer as unrestitible tears fall down. It was the last day I saw mum.

She was asked to drink poison,a punishment for going against the law.

*12 YEARS LATER*

------------------------------------------

Anger,sadness,hatred were the key word that dominated my life throughout my past seventeen years,a life with mum.

No matter how much I tried to erase it,the memories keep hunting me,it remains a glue to my dreary heart.

Life is so much unfair to me,very very unfair. I wonder why I was fated with such an ordeal,or maybe I should say I was such a bad luck to my parent or maybe the word 'Misfortune' would be better.

But somehow,this particular year is giving me so much hope,its telling me that I needed to stand up and stop being the despondence and reclusive one.

Yeah! I think this age has preached a way of maturity and hope to my life.

I remembered mum's last word,Cave18,have been waiting for the day and now the time has come,I am eighteen and now I think I can visit the cave which has always been mum and I secret place.

With that,I stood up boldly just like someone who has just received counseling and has gotten the determination to make it in future.

I stood up firmly as my strawberry blond hair flowed down to my waist,have gotten a really long colorful hair just like mum along with an ocean eyes which is obviously from Dad.

To say the truth, I was born to be a beauty,a reference from Arion and coralina which I just realize now,those guys are my life saver,the thought of them gently brought smile to my face,they always managed to make me smile ever since I was left alone in the kingdom. Yeah!I think my story need stop start now.

Till next time♥
