Sitting on the seaside taking cool drinks and some pepper soup with my cousins, gisting and laughing, having the fun of our life, and then thinking of what to do next. It was night cover already.
My cousin had the craziest idea; she wanted us to get on the boat ride that night and crossover to the other side to know what it looked like in the night.
Are you serious right now? Do you want us to cross over to the other side? Do you remember that's a creek? Nah, I'm not going with you. She is like it will be fun, why don't we do it tonight, it will be part of our adventure.
No, girly, I'm not doing that with you, not this night. Are you not seeing the waves on top of the sea, and you're thinking of taking a night boat cruise? Hell no. Ain't going nowhere with you.
We were arguing back and forth, I was expecting them, my other cousins, to say something. They just sat and were looking at the both of us, arguing our life out, and I guess she was high on alcohol.
I love sitting on the seaside; anytime I travel home, I love watching the birds trying to catch fish on the sea and watching the travelers who are crossing over to the other side of the community.
One of those nights, I stood at the jetty, watching the sky and inhaling the fresh air; suddenly, there was a sparkle in the sky, and then I turned to take a look. It was a beautiful firecracker; although it was coming from a far distance, I was able to take a picture of it. It's not that good but I love what I took.
