SILENCE

Larna walked into the ward, she was coming from Garden house; the place she had dreamt of and she was shocked to learn that it didn’t exist. Ferbian had been the only child and there was no one known as Ben or Fernando, it was all part of a dream.

Her mother had refused to speak to anyone after the funeral and after taking her to the hospital; the doctor had suggested that they see a counsellor, that maybe all she needed was to talk to someone.

‘Ma’am the counsellor is here but if you don’t like her, we can suggest someone else.’ The nurse told her

The lady walked in and Larna couldn’t believe her eyes

She was pregnant and her face as beautiful as it had been in the dream maybe even more beautiful.

‘Your face looks familiar.’ She said

‘So does yours.’ She responded with a smile

Heaven was probably playing tricks with her

‘I am Wangu-Endike.’ She told her

‘Larna Mwaba.’ She responded as they shook hands

Larna left the room with a huge smile, probably happy that heavens had sent her a friend.

‘If it isn’t you Lord?’ she said with a smile

WRITER’S NOTE

Solitude has saved me more than anything in the world but whilst one thing is good for me it might not be good for another.

Silence is like a killer that destroys so much in it’s way; at some point we have all been broken and hurt and we actually thought that keeping to ourselves was the best thing to do and maybe it was, but if you can’t take it anymore please talk to someone, anyone that might help.

Thank you so much for the support, it is never dull with you guys; while writing is my passion you are a part of that.
