it's imran

One lazy morning, he decided to set out on a fishing trip on one of his small sailing boats but his keen sense of adventure eventually got him in trouble. A sudden gust of wind tore his sail apart and he was too far away from shore to try to row the boat back.

He was not bothered too much about it. He decided to just sit back and enjoy the time he has on his own, away from the busy life back home. The only thing he had to consume was a bottle of this new, supposedly revolutionary drink called a soda, by this small company called Coca-Cola. He took a sip and found it to have a very interesting taste. It was nothing like he ever tried before. Then he heard something. It was splashing water, starboard side. Could not have been the waves because the wind has almost completed died down. When he turned to look, he was surprised at what he saw. It was a humpback whale!

The whale was looking right at him. It could not even be an year old yet. Definitely strayed from his pod. But it’s gaze was what really captured Gump’s mind. He slowly walked towards it. It was not afraid of him, just curious. He sat down on the side of the boat, right next to the whale. It did not seemed to be in a hurry to go either. Seems like Gump found the most unlikely friend during his time lost.

The pair spend a couple of hours together. They could not communicate, yet there was a bond created between them. The irony in the situation was consistently running through Gump’s mind. He’s made himself rich off killing this whale’s family. Then he heard something, port side. It was a humpback surfacing, a large one. Then there were more. A lot more. It seems the pod has come back to get the lost calf. One massive tail flap on the water and the lost humpback was gone. It joined the pod and they were all on their way. Coincidentally, there were some whalers following this exact same pod. In a matter of minutes, they came across Gump’s boat. It was his own whalers.
