9:42 PM ● story:D

I learnt diving since young and I always followed my dad to Pacific Ocean to experience diving.
During the holidays, i accompanied my dad as usual to dive but at a different place, Indian Ocean.
It was a whole new experience, but also an unforgettable one.
And, it was when I felt my dad's love towards me.

It was Fathers' DAY.
I was wearing the diving gear with the other divers.
Rainie, one of my best companion in diving chatted with me about her father.
I was full of admiration as she could have such a good father, taking care of her all the time.
As for my dad, he cared for me only in diving.
Just nice, my dad heard our conversation and said :" i am a good father" .
I laughed and then we headed towards the sea.

Indian Ocean was full of dangerous obstacles: broken nets, fishing poles and many more.
They were really dangers for the aquatic animals so i decided to pick those up. I swam towards them.
"No! don't do that! what if you get cut? your blood might attract the sharks! NO!"
By then Rainie was so far from me that i couldn't hear anything.
Pretending not to hear anything, I continued and indeed i cut myself.
I tried not to let others know about my injury and continued diving.
After a few hours, sharks could be seen near us.
Dad warned us," Beware, do not attract the sharks' attention. They won't eat us if we stay calm."
And so i did.
HOWEVER, one shark swam past me swiftly
This was the first time a shark swim past me so quickly with a cold atmosphere and a cold shiver was sent down my spine.
I knew something was wrong.
The shark turned back and it suddenly began to charge towards me.
I was totally freaked out and there's only DAD's words in my mind ---"stay calm."
When it was extremely near me, about a few centimetres away, I felt something pushing me away.
I looked at what happened and was shocked,
DAD was UNCONSCIOUS.
"daddy! wake uP!" i shaked him vigorously.
Rainie came to calm me down but i couldn't
tears began trickling down my cheeks and i couldn't get hold of myself.
then, i prayed and closed my eyes.
dizziness suddenly surround me and i blacked out.

"where am I? " i stared blankly at the ceiling. Looking around, there are many worried glances casted on me.
"are you okay?" Rainie asked.
i grabbed hold of her hand tightly and asked her without hesitation , "Where's daddy?"
Everyone started to look glum and i knew something bad had happened.
"TELL ME RAINIE! PLEASE TELL ME WHERE IS DADDY?"
Rainie didn't reply, but instead brought me to another ward.

"Who is that?" I pointed to the person lying on the bed.
"It ....It...is your dad.." Rainie murmured.
My heart sank. Everything around me began to fall on me. Tears started to fall like it's raining.
I couldn't believe what had happened.
Nothing would have happen if I cared about my wound.
I decided to blame myself on everything.

Two months later...

I continued diving after avoiding it for 2 months
I believe in my dad's aspiration- to go around the world to dive and know more about aquatic animals
I believe my dad would want me to continue to explore the underwater world for him.
I believe that my dad is indeed a good father.
I love my dad.
