My Company Or The Mermaid

BIANCA'S POINT OF VIEW.

It was a cold evening in the Serene Ocean, so I decided to swim to the top of the ocean to check out something.

I had a wish to do it. I wanted to speak to the River Goddess, who normally comes out when you surmourn her.

But on getting there, I realized I had forgotten my scepter. My scepter was my symbol of authority and that was the only thing I could use to command the spiritual forces and powers of the ocean.

But just as I was about to move,

I noticed something. I was at the back of a white object. It seemed like a ship, but I wasn't really sure.

As I took a turn to head on back to the Serenes for my scepter, my tail got stuck to the ship.

I tried pulling myself out but all my efforts proved abortive. I was completely worn out, a lot of things were going on in my mind.

I asked myself..

" What if I get trapped here forever, am completely powerless without my scepter? I can't even help myself".

I soliloquized, wearing a tiring look.

Just as I was still trying to get myself out by all means, something happened.

I knew my tails were going through hell as of that time, but that wasn't my business, the bone of contention was to leave there as soon as possible.

My biggest fear at that point in time was not to be sighted by any human because they might use me as an exhibition show or probably keep me hostage, so I was deeply scared. I felt so sorry for myself that how could I have left without my scepter? But all the same, the deed was already done.

I was still battling when a young handsome man sighted me from the ship. I think he probably came out to get a glance at the ocean. He was looking at the ocean when he saw me struggling to escape.

The moment I saw him, I almost lost it.

Oh my goodness!

He was approaching me .

At this point, I felt he was going to do something bad to me, but to my greatest surprise, he was able to remove my tail from the ship.

I was startled at first to see the manner in which he handled the situation. He never called for an alarm or made it so obvious for the next party to notice.

He was so calm, gentle and well received.

He asked softly, drawing almost very close to me with his eyes directly on my face.

" Who are you? Hope you're fine. Let me see. Your tail was hurt, so sorry okay, I could help you”.

At this point, I went blank.

I was like," Wow, most humans really have a thing with Mermaids. I least expected that from him, but anyway, I reciprocated that same energy hurriedly.

" My name is Bianca, Queen of the Serenes, Mother of the Oceans. I was going to see the Goddess of the ocean when I got trapped by the ship". I tried giving him a brief introduction of myself.

" Oh so sorry dear, actually I went out for a brief ride with my ship on the ocean”.

He tried to explain while I stared at him, almost confused. He continues..

It wasn't intentional to make you go through this. Please accept my apology".

His words at this point were as soft as shadows. I became really interested in this human, so I asked him what his name was.

He replied, staring directly into my eyes as if he was trying to decipher something.

After a good glance, he replied.

" I'm Bruno, the only son of a Famous Billionaire" Mr Roman", I helped with managing my Father's Empire ", which was NO 1 in the city and was popularly known for Telecommunication, Fashion and Entrepreneurship services.

After a stressful week, I decided to go on a ride in the ocean.”

“I mean its weekend already,

One needs to have fun and that was how we got to this point”. Please accept my apologies, okay, I really wished to come in contact with a mermaid. I've fantasized about it countless times, and today I am happy I met you”.

Bruno said, looking like someone in a state of Euphoria.

" No, it is okay, you don't have to apologize, it wasn't your fault, okay.

I responded by looking at him and was completely getting more invested in our conversation.

He asked me for a favor if he could take a selfie with me.

I immediately agreed and we both took a picture.

Not too long later, I had a sound coming towards him, it seemed it was a human. Then I swam vehemently back into the ocean.

On several occasions while swimming back to Serenes, I would intentionally swim to the surface to check if he was still there and, oh my goodness, Bruno was still staring at the ocean to see if he could find me.

It dawned on me that we both enjoyed each other's company and wanted it to last more.

At some point, I literally reminded myself. He is a human, and I am a Mermaid. We are two different personalities. But honestly, I wasn't getting what was going on in my head, that voice was just all over the place, seeming so judgmental.

I was completely not supposed to see or come in contact, not to talk more about having a conversation with a human.

On the contrary, my heart was saying something different. I was left to ponder with the two inner voices, but I still didn't understand the whole situation, so I decided to give myself a break.

I got back to Serenes only to be greeted by a visitor. Her name was Felicia.

Her story was kind of not adding up, but I wasn't getting some parts, so I asked.

What do you want me to do?

As a matter of fact, I had sympathy for her and was really ready to help...

"Queen Mother, I really ask to be part of the Serenes. I'm afraid the sea creature that killed my parents is after my life. Please help me."Felicia pleaded.

Hmmm!!!

Having a considering, open and generous heart, I bought the idea.

But on second thought, her story made my blood boil, because it reminds me of how my Father was killed, and my mother murdered in cold blood by the Humans.

I took a brief pause then said to Felicia.

"Felicia, you're welcome to the Serenes, but you must be of good conduct.

Just like I said earlier, we look after each other”....,

"Assist her, clean up her tail and make her look stunning".

I ordered.

Giving that responsive warm smile, she flashes back.

Her contagious smile literally crept into my soul like that of a soft shadow.

Her tension reduced drastically.

I was happy I could help, but on the other hand, extreme thoughts were flooded through the pages of my heart as regards to the human I saw today-BRUNO.
