Notes Week 2

Ali walks across the street. He sees a ten-dollar note and a fish. He takes the fish and hops back home, enveloped in extreme happiness. “Mum, look Papa gave us a fish!” Mum stops her washing and stared at the fish Ali has got in his hands. Tears trickles down Mum’s face. Mum hugged Ali tightly and whimpered, ” Son, yes, dad gave us fish.. he did..”

It was a year ago. Ali pecked daddy on his forehead and Mum hugged him. Daddy took up his fishing rods and fish nets. He waved goodbye to them and he was off to the sea. He reached the shore, untied the rope and he started sailing. For a moment, he felt that the boat jerked uncontrollably. The boat went further and further away from the shore. The fishing rod felt a reaction. Just before Daddy was about to pull the fish up, a towering wave slammed the boat. Daddy flew a distance. The fish bait hit Daddy, went right through his shirt, and send itself right into Daddy’s stomach. Out of panic, he pulled out the fish bait, sending blood gushing out furiously. He screamed and yelled for help. Noone heard him. The pain was unbearable. To make matter worst, he saw something coming towards him in the water. Before he was able to figure out the creature, he felt breathless. The last sight he saw was blood, sharp teeth and pieces of meat floating in the water.

Mum kisses Ali on his forehead. She takes the fish and places it on a wooden plate. After sprinkling some pepper and chopped chilli over the fish, she steamed the fish. Ali lets out a wide grin on his face. “Ali, stay here while i get some water from the well, dinner will be ready soon.” Mum smiles and says. Ali gives a nod and watches Mummy walk out of house into the road. When Ali was just about to shout out to his mummy that he loves her, he hears a loud horn and “BANG!”. Mummy is gone… too.
