HIS VOICE

Three months later, at the cafe... evening 5'o clock...

They is a saying..."Life is a bitch"... but apparently everything... every emotion is a bitch...that is what he felt in these months time...expectation, fear, anger, love, helplessness, hurt...everything!...but, he did not become hopeless...because he knows that her voice cannot betray him...he trust her, her voice more than his life...he tried everything, hired detectives, used his connections with the police department, and political government to track her phone but couldn't find her... it's like she became invisible in this vast world...vacuum filled his life...but no, he didn't lose his hope ...hope to find her one day...hope to listen to her sweet voice one day...he will wait till his last breath ..and after his death...then too, his soul will wait for her, and her love-filled voice...he took a deep breath and ordered a latte...he was sitting in a cafe and spacing out thinking about her...when, suddenly something caught his ears attention...voice... not hers, but his...

I love your voice very much... (My heart yearns to listen to this voice my all life)...

He felt the hair on his neck prick ...he then, slowly turned his head as if the voice will stop if disturbed...that was coming from his back...he stood and with slow & steady steps reached the chair...there was a girl sitting on it...her back was facing him...

She was continuously playing the recording in her phone accelerating his heartbeat...

Then he felt a hand on his shoulder...he looked to his side...there was a gentle-looking woman in her mid-'50s

That girl...she is mute...one day, in an accident, she lost her voice...it seems, due to shock...poor child!... every day will she come here, and listen to this voice in her phone and cries her eyes out...

He staggered back like had been pushed by some tyrannical force...his head spinning...tears clogging his throat..his eyes wide open and red... acid burning his entire being...

She is mute!!!

Lost her voice in an accident...

Oh god...couldn't you be crueler!!!

*********************************************************

After paying the bill, she took her bag and headed towards her home...this is her life...only solitude...nothing left...no one left ...not even he...his voice...she gulped the lump which formed in her throat...blinking back her tears, she continued her journey tirelessly...

She was walking silently when she suddenly stilled in her place listening to that voice...not his, but hers..

.

"Ok!... Let's be friends!!!"

"Why are you sounding dull????"

"I simply said, close your eyes and just do, as I say!"...

"Ok! I will sing...You will, always!!!"...

Look into your heart, you will find

There is nothin' there to hide

Take me as I am, take my life

I would give it all, I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not

worth fightin' for

I can't help it, there's

nothin' I want more

You know it's true,
