Diary: The Village by the Sea (thoughts and feelings of Lila while ofering prayers)

This is what I think and assume what Lila is thinking about while she is offering her prayers:

Dear Diary,
Today morning was a peaceful morning. Surprisingly, I was exceptionally early and was the first one who went out to the beach. I went there with a bucket of bright - coloured flowers. When I came to a cluster of three rocks, I spotted a sacred rock(a kind of temple in the sea) and offered my prayers and said a greeting to God.
Soon, more women came down and offered flowers at the sacred rock. Some did what I did and just simply said a greeting to God. Some of them said a little prayer for the safety of the fishermen(their husbands) at sea.
Thinking about fishermen, I thought of my lousy father, who always came home drunk. He often gambled and was in a huge dept. He sold his boat to pay his dept, which made my Mum worried. That resulted in Mother falling sick. I am really angry with my father.

Signing off,
Lila.
