Unspoken words


Emma could still recollect the first day she saw her sister; it was after a long time. When the cell opened, she saw a figure resembling that of a human being with pale face, parched lips, sunken eyes and protruding check bones. Emma couldn’t convince herself that; this lean figure trying her best to give a smile is her own sister. “Eve is here in the rehabilitation centre for the past few months”, said the doctor in charge. We were always disturbed regarding her responsibity. “Where were you all this time? What made you come back now, huh!? Maybe you simply wanted to know whether she is dead or alive, ain’t you? The sarcasm in his tone made her cry……tears started rolling down her cheeks. Doctor …she couldn’t complete; Drugs have ruined her physically as well as mentally. She is also suffering from ‘SuicidalMania’. I have no words to explain how we saved her life last time. That was definitely a miracle. I strongly feel that your presence would help her

THE BLAMELESS FATE

Alarm started buzzing right on to her ears; it is 11:30 in the night. Mabel had to force herself out of the bed, half an hour to go; 27th October is Sasha’s birthday. Mabel has to prepare her favorite chocolate cake and gift wrap the ‘E’ series mobile which she has got for Sasha .She had been following this particular routine for the past 14 years, Sasha will turn 15 today. Seldom does Mabel remember that she is getting old, only when she cares to watch her wrinkled skin and the grey lock of hair. Now she is finding it difficult to run through her daily routine like how she did it a few years before. She knew that by now, her body is being tied by the heavy chains of tiredness; it kept on pulling her back. Mabel started expecting her gentle friend ‘death’ at any time. She felt that her life would be complete only when she reveals that truth to Sasha, about her identity and her parents. Mabel rushes to get everything ready and decides to take rest till it turns 12:00.It is then she spots an album kept on the top of the dining table.
