at Paraiso de Torres 


ALYZA's POV  


I was sitting in the sand along the beach, half-body submerged in water. Everyone is having fun...this is the last day of our stay here in Paraiso de Torres, tomorrow morning we'll fly back to New York, and from there each of us will have her or his flights back to our destinations.


The water is very inviting, I love the big waves... I envy them, others having the jet ski, others indulging in scuba diving, others in snorkeling and surfing I love to do most if only I can... I am as excited as they yelling as the waves whip them...


"hmmmmm... enjoying?"  Raphae


"I envy them... I feel playing with surf,"   I said


"ohhh... sorry you can't,"  Raphael


"Yeah, I know...  but I feel I'm not a stranger to big waves...I feel it's fun being smashed. I can imagine the thrill of being inside those big waves and trying to conquer them... did I do surfing before?" I asked


"Hmmm..."  Raphael hesitates to answer


"Okay, I will not force you to tell me... but you know I can feel and I sense that you know a lot of things about me...not only the surfing," I said... 


"Even in Bali, you try to distract me when I'm asking you about paragliding," I said.


"I am sorry... but forgive me, this, is not the time.... promise after you give birth, I'll tell you little by little... it's hard to force things... for now, let it be this way...okay?" Raph said


"Okay, I understand," I said


"Thanks...." Raphael


I saw in his eyes worry, fear, and sadness... but opted to ignore it...


"Can you surf for me? I'll watch from here.... I'll use the telescope." 


"Really?" Raphael


"Yes," I said


"Okay watch from there..."  Raphael said and now ran into the waters and started to surf...


I know surfing is one of the most difficult and complex sports in the world. Not one wave is the same, so the playground is constantly changing, elements such as wind, tides, and swells are affecting the waves that make surf different every single moment. A great strength is demanded for surfing. The strength in the upper part of the body is necessary because when it comes to paddling it is essential. But why do I feel I know how to surf??


As I focus on Raphael as he surfs, I can't hold my admiration...he surfs so well...It looks like he and the waves are one. He rides on the waves so well and breaks the waves so well.
