100 words On Saturday - Your Call

Endless wait stretched for days .Her life back home was waiting for her.She had been informed about three weeks back and she flew down as soon as she could, to fulfil her duty .Did she have to?No ! Did he deserve it? Not at all!

A decade ago,she had left it all behind,his maddening rage,abuse and the marriage.

 He met his match in a disgruntled servant who smashed his master's skull in a fit of rage.He lay in the hospital bed on life-supports.

A shrill ring and a voice -"Your call madam.....the hospital". 

                                             

                             

Quiet Communication--100 Words on Saturday.

Did you say something ? I felt it in silence and we shared that silence .

Your unspoken words  have that  power to reach out .

They find ways to convey  they have messengers ,able and eager, to help them in this endeavour. 

Little gestures ;  tilt of the head ,narrowed  eyes, hands folded  or lips forming a smile....they all speak.

It may take a while for my eyes to linger longer, to meet your eyes but I will learn.

In this cacophony of sounds and words ,there is space for the unspoken. To hear the sound of  'quiet ' will take some time.
