Chapter 3
Linda nurtured to a wonderful young girl. The parents could never been prouder of her. However one of these days, her parents passed away, when she was fourteen, leaving Linda in a very distressed situation. No friends. No family. She had no one. On her own, she had to face the world’s cruelties, their betrayal and harshness.  Alone, battle the agony, clash with contemplations, and struggle for rights. Sobbed hours at night before flickering her eyelids close. But then again for how long would she lock herself in her room and cry until her eyes became sore and were exhausted of shedding tears? Then she decided she had to unveil herself from the shadows she has been hiding for months and begin constructing her blissful wall to reality so that people won’t scamper away from her as if she is a banshee. Nonetheless, people still hated her but she never gave up hope. She started being the exultant and comical girl she used to be. Her clumsy and childish acts led to trouble but she adored everything she did even if it was cleaning up sprinkled leaves in autumn. Her life became amazing. She had everything. A house, happiness, she was blessed with all of the god’s bounties but for her, one thing was missing, her family. She had no one to share her amusing acts, her problems and so on. Nonetheless, she was thankful to god for a penny she consumed. She had no repentances and no grievances to god.’  
The old man suddenly stopped in the middle of the story. I slowly open my eyes realizing my sitting position has changed and I’m lying down. The branches of the trees are brushing over my forehead. The leaves look greener and the atmosphere looks much brighter. I deliberately sit up spotting a young girl dancing while her beautiful blonde hair is swaying to tempo of the wind despite the fact that she has a violin in her hands which she is playing with so much enthusiasm that her passion is released as soon as she opens her eyes and a cool breeze is crashed on to my face and my eyes squeeze shut with which my hair sails across the sky slickly. I hastily open my eyes discovering the girl dancing on one of the branches of the tree but soon fall’s down. I lightly smirk but then I regain my consciousness and a crazy thing shoots into my head as if the trigger was pulled and a bullet just exited thorough my head. Is that Linda!?
‘Yes my child, that’s her, the beautiful, stunning angel.’
‘Wait, where am i? And how is she Linda... are we in 1994?’ her facial expression and features still look healthy and fresh so she must be fourteen. Even though my mind is not in a very healthy state of condition, I allow my brain to do the calculations mechanically.
‘God, kid, it’s going to take a long time for me telling the story, just get over with it and save her.’
And that’s when I stop hearing the old man’s voice. It’s just me and her.
I notice Linda sitting on the uppermost branch of the tree with a rose in her hand.

 ‘I’ll get married, I won’t get married, and I’ll get married’ … she repeats the verses more than seven times as she pluck the petals of a wine-colored red rose.

Chapter 7 The doctor leaves Evan numb and shocked. He falls down on his knees and cries for hours and hours. Regaining his courage, he stands up and walks into Linda’s room. ‘Hey’ ‘Hey’ Linda offers a smile and Evan smiles back ‘We have to talk Linda. I was just messing around with you. I and my friends planned on pranking you.’ ‘Ok…’ Linda lightly laughs while twiddling her fingers recklessly. ‘What do you mean?’ ‘All this I love you, you love me, we love the whole world nonsense   was fake. Everyone hates you and besides, why would I even like a girl who can’t walk anymore for the rest of her life. So let’s end it here. I laughed, my friends laughed. We are happy. No one cares about you. Who did? Your parents suffered because you came to this world with your stupid powers, they were kicked out of the village because of you. Everyone hated them because of you, why would anyone like you after what you did. You shouldn’t have come to this world. I never should have met...

It all started with a beautiful morning. The sun shinning brightly through the muffled clouds; the orange trees laced with sunlight, the birds chirping a humble tone, the air heavy but gentle at the same time and the wind politely crashed onto my face like a wave out of the ocean.   It was a Friday and my 970th day at the foster home.   Why I was there is probably what you’re thinking, right? Or why am I using past tense? Am I dead? Or am I about to die? Or did I write this manuscript and then I died? Or am I still alive? You will sooner or later find out. Either one. So the foster home was it? Well I was not like all the others. I was kind of unique, or different or exceptional or special or anything else which you think is the opposite of normal. Stuttering is a speaking disorder which isn’t a big deal for some people but for me it was. You see, my family abandoned me when I was five when they found out about the stuttering.   It was a wintry and cold and humid...

Chapter 4 ‘I’ll get married. Yes! Oh god, I should start preparing for my marriage, cook the food, the decorations, my dress, oh my there is so much to do.’ Suddenly she trips and falls down. ‘I forgot the most important thing. I have to find the man of my dreams first shouldn’t i? Oh god, who will marry a piece of trash like me?’ Linda murmurs as she stands up and brushes away the dust on her clothes. ‘I will’ a boy walked up to her. His hands crossed at the back of his hips. She stopped dead in her tracks. She turns around slowly and covers her hands on her face, closing her eyes. ‘Please don’t kill! Please! Ill give you my house, and my clothes, and my food and…’ the boy walks up to her laughing and taps on her head. ‘Hey, I’m here to be friends, not kill you’ Linda’s jaw drops and she stares at him as if he just slapped her. ‘My friend?’ ‘Yup, your friend.’ Linda screams as she just discovered a cockroach on her hand. And in the spur of the moment, she grabs the boy’s hand and...
