"the boat is capsizing everyone grab something"!the captain alarmed calling out everyone attention. immediately I swiftly climbed down from my bed in one of the cabins and quickly dashed out towards the lower deck, everywhere was in chaos as everyone was running helter skelter . I stood there in panic as fear and terror slowly clouded my mind."run rihhana run"! my mind keeps telling me,but where on earth l'd I simply run to. just then the ravaging rainstorm and waves suddenly shook the entire ship violently making us and everything underneath fell as a result of the sudden blast some of did fell into the sea .while others including me and Ferra stood our ground. "everyone get an hold on yourselves"!the captain voice came again and without wasting much time we all held hands together.
" rhi.... rhianna"! Ferra hoarse voice. suddenly called from behind me immediately I turned to look at her she was taking a peep through one of the window whose glass already got broken,slowly she then rose up her head to look at me in teary red eyes"sure we gonna survive this"?she asked her teary red eyes held so many emotions,causing a big lump in my chest no doubt I felt so sad and downcast watching her this way she was the youngest in our midst and the most naive student among us if only I could promise and tell her everything's gonna be okay would she believe!no I mean which person in his /her right state of mind would ever believe that despite all troubles befalling us." ferra ....."I slowly reach out for her and then pulled her into a warm embrace "everything's gonna be....." ,"no don't promise me that nothing's gonna be fine!alright just take a look at me"she suddenly pulled away from the hug and then shifted back a little and that was when I realized it she was drenched already
"... just take a look m' drenched already being an allergy to cold water my chance of surviving this rainstorm is low" she statedGC passively but I shook my head disagreeingly "no ...no,ferra pls don't say that,maybe there's still hope we could survive this and besides the captain r'e doing their best all we just gotta do is being optistmist okay"I forced an assuring smile.
"no rihhana there's no hope definitely not when it comes to me fate won't permit that. even though I might survive through the rain under that sea must be a different story"she said and then suprisingly she took off her necklace and softly placed them on my palm.
"promise me you're gonna keep this safe"
"what's this" I asked starring intently at the pearl shaped pendant of the necklace." it's a goodbye gift from me promise me you're gonna keep it safe"she said giving me a pleading look."alright" I sighed and then took one last glance at the necklace."but I still need to know where you got it from and why r'e just giving it to me "I suddenly looked up to asked but paused as i noticed something . ferra was taking few back strides towards the end of the ship and immediately my eyes widened in alert "ferra watch out ! I screamed in fright but instead she shook her head passively and then smiled,a forced smile that was clouded with so many painful expression."...m' sorry rihhana" she stated and took one more step backwards,"pl.....please don't"I pleaded admist the tear that were threatening to pour down my eyes "please don't forget to pass this message unto my parents if eventually you happened to meet them again tell them "I LOVE AND CHERISH THEM SO MUCH"
"alright I would !but please promise me you would stay"
"l'm sorry I..I can't "and that was it the final straw that broke the Carmel back she took one last step backwards and before I knew it she fell of the ship . "nooo ....Ferra please wait"!I tried screaming back at her but unfortunately no words came out"goodbye rhianna keep my momma's necklace safe"that was the last thing I heard before a big splashed followed.
just then reality kicked in she was dead!dead and gone my best friend was dead and gone !my heart throbbed in pain at the slightest thought of it. this can't be happening no this can't be !I tried fighting and holding back the tears that we're threatening pour down heavily but that couldn't help either ,it was just so painful and unbearable that I couldn't help but let it out I stood there helplessly and let the tears freely strolled down my cheeks.
