Drowned or Not?!

Thirteen years ago, the sun was shining directly and the weather was stifling hot and oppressive. The beach was teeming with the people who were jogging, sunbathing, playing Frisbee, and chatting. In that tumult, a little girl with short blonde hair and an azure swimsuit sat up alone on the beach, faraway her parents. She was busy making sand castle and designing it with shells, that all of a sudden a huge wave came and took her into the sea. She was bobbing up and down with the wave until she went under the water. Not knowing how to swim she started flinging her limbs about to flop, and shouting to save herself, but nobody could hear her. After a few moments her mother noticed that her daughter is not around. It passed her mind that maybe she had gone to another part of the beach so she started looking for her daughter. Some meters further away she found her daughter in the sea.
The little girl was bobbing up and down with the taste of briny water in her mouth and hearing bass sound of the water. Her eyes had a slight tingling and prickling sensation caused by the water which made her close her eyes gradually. Once when she opened her eyes, she saw lots of people assembled around the beach, looking at her. When she saw them, she wished someone to come and rescue her and she thought if somebody came and saved her, she would be a very good girl from that moment on. Suddenly she felt the touch of a powerful hand around her arms. Meanwhile she noticed the watch on the hands and found out that they were her elder brother’s hands. When her brother embraced her and brought her to the beach, she realized that she had gone only a meter from the beach and if she stood on her feet she would have been able to come out of the sea.
Thirteen years has passed and still when I remember that day my hair stands on end. I can still fill the fear of losing my life with all my heart and I thank God again and again for giving me a second chance to live.
