Inspirational: Only Hope Awaits

As the cold water rushes through his lungs, the burning sensation was overwhelming and painful. He couldn't stand the torture of facing death in such a situation. His childhood fear has once again haunted him.

Breathe, breathe, BREATHE... He told himself. However, no matter how much effort made, how determined he was... He felt that only death awaits. His memories flashes before him, as though the dark, deep sea was a picture of his whole life. He remembered his first love, the one woman that he fell in love over and over again. He knew that he will break her heart when he goes away. She's waiting for me... He told himself.

He remembered his friends. The friends that followed him through thick and thin in his life. He thanked God for meeting such people in his life. He never regretted knowing them and spending time with them through out his life... till now. He regretted being stuck in this situation, so cold and lonely. No one to hear his last words, no one to see his smile, no one to notice him at all. He's frighten... frighten of what he is going to experience next.

He remembered his family. The ones who he loved and cherished. The ones that stood by him wherever he goes. He thanked God for allowing him to grow up through his father's teaching, his mother's love, his brothers' company and his god-sisters' acknowledgement. He wanted to reach out to pinch that silly girl's face again... Stupid female monkey, he thought to himself... Now you are grown up and free to go, although I never really did tried to chain you to me.

As time passes, he grew weaker and weaker... His spirit seems to float off his physical self. Then... a white light shone onto him. He heard voices, voices that seems to welcome him home. He heard praises of God, wondering if he was at church again. Ahh... he thought, how could he go to heaven when he didn't visited the church since ages ago? Are the angels speaking to him?

Then he saw a hand, reaching out for him... He didn't try to grasp it, but awaits for the hand to hold him tight. Soon, he heard a melodious tune...

There isn't any despair... there was only hope, as he saw his love again.
