Our home-made exam was over, and it was time to take a break. The break was going to last until the end of our stay near the sea, and that was hardly a month but long enough to pass lots and lots of leisure times.
We played more with the children. When the children were inside, my younger sister and I sat at the back of our house and sang all songs we knew, watching the sky, surroundings and definitely the sea. We played on the swings, and also my sister and I sat on either ends and see-sawed, singing happily. Everything felt great but at the same time deep inside there was a fear about what the future held for me. It came up every now and then but I soon relaxed and smiled it away.
Our family including me had great times playing sometimes volley ball in our backyard. I never imagined the whole family to be involved in a game like this but it was happening!! Life was sweet.
My sisters and I also roller skated on the pavements when they were pretty clear of people and children. We watered the garden and took good care of it. We were going to leave it soon but we didn’t stop caring for it. We washed our clothes in bowls with the water pipe and soap in the backyard shade and hanged them on the clothes lines above the garden.
We may had been free from the pressure of studies but we kept ourselves very busy enjoying every minute. Life would soon show what lay in front of us, and it was easier when we expected the very best.
