Chapter 8


In a blink of an eye. I see Linda again. She is on her wheelchair. Her blond hair swinging with the wind. Her hands rubbing the locket on her neck. Tears flowing repeatedly. A pink shawl wrapped around her shoulders and … I see the miracle happen. She started playing the violin, her eyes shut again and the trees bow, the birds fly out of their nests, the deer’s, gushing in the last gulp of water, the rabbits jumping out of their holes and at last, the lion at the back of her wheelchair, sat behind her and bowed. All of them looked like as they were in pain. The nature and Linda have a connection. Linda in pain means everyone in pain. The trees, the flowers, the insects and animals. It felt like the sun was moaning as if it lost all its sunshine, the moon appeared making me feel as if he lost someone so dear to him that even after searching the world, from seas to seas, he never found his loved one. The moon and the sun clashed into each other and her eyes opened. This… feeling… wait… no… where is the old man. I need him. I don’t know what to do. My head is spinning.
And then I hear her. ‘Hey. I wonder if you are listening. You aren’t, right? I knew your father hated me and what happened to us wasn’t your fault. I over heard your conversation with your dad and in order for your dad to pay the hospital bills, you had to cut off your relationship with me for the rest of my life. Before I met you, I always used to thank God for his blessings but sometimes, I used to get angry that why do I have to be the one without a family? Why me? I had no one to share my melancholy with until you came. But then, I became selfish and possessive about you. I just wanted you to be with me all the time, and then God finally taught me a lesson. For me being thankless he took away my ability to walk, I was devastated, I just used to sit on my wheelchair and think about times when I used to climb up trees, play with you, hang from trees like monkeys. I used to love it and so that’s why he took away my second most lovable thing from me. And then for me being selfish, he took away the source of my happiness, the reason of my survival and the love of my life, you. Hey, don’t be sorry ok? I just told you. It’s not your fault. I think everything god does; is for our own good and for our safety. I still have the locket. Do you still have the key to my heart? Haha you better!’ she wipes a tear from the edge of her sleeve. ‘Do you think we will ever meet again? I know it’s impossible because your father took you to a far-flung place where you wont have to see my rubbish face. It’s true ok? Stop denying it. Just one thing. Do not give up. You have to unlock the key to my heart before you die. You promised me. Our strong bondage doesn’t need for us to talk to each other every day; we don’t need togetherness, as long as the relationship lives in the heart, our love will never break apart…so long… Evan’
And that’s when the memories come back flooding into my mind. She, me, we, us, together. That’s when I noticed, she jumped down the cliff near the tree, smiling, tears shedding continuously and she waving crazily. The paper she was holding flew from her hand to the place where her grave is now. Suddenly, the sky clashes and the clouds are moving at the speed of light, the sun, moon, stars are just flowing like waves of the sea and bang!

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...
