Prologue
‘Don’t let fear control your life.’
But what would control your life if not fear?
‘Ayesha!’
I blinked open my eyes frantically as I heard my name being whispered. I felt my heart beat quicken at the thought of them finding me here. I waited for a few moments waiting for my name to be called again.
Only the rushing wind and some strangled calls of the seagulls could be heard. Just to make sure I still swirled around to look around my surroundings. It was pretty much deserted with not a single soul roaming around except for me.
I let out a breath that I didn’t know I was holding in.
I turned to look ahead of me. Curling my toes as the brownish-golden soil tickled the pad of my feet. The wild wind flew past my face gently caressing me. The clear blue sky reflecting liquid time to time met with the earth and swept away itself.
I never visited a beach before in my whole 20-years of living. No, not that I was living in Antarctica or Russia that I couldn’t go. It’s just that I never had the chance.
I gently pinched myself to reassure myself that this no just a dream rather my reality now. That I was finally free.
But was I?
