A picture is worth a thousand words

what do you see:

I see a woman sitting inside a room and a dog is beside her, from what I am seeing, I felt she is listening to a voice and that voice might be from happening of the past, the voice is coming out of the nearby bush and it's making it way into her room, she is feeling mesmerizing with the voice that's why she's giving the voice her attention.

Want do you feel:

I feel she is giving the voice her attention because it seems like it is the voice of someone she knows, so, she doesn't want to let go of the voice, she is there, sitting and listening to every bit of it because she wants more of it.

My story kicked off from here:

Maria has been trying all she could to resist the voice that seems to knocked on her door every evening, because it was just like it took place in a club, after she and her boyfriend was about to leave and thing's change which makes her to be single and without wanting to have a man in her life.

Twelve years ago, when she was still in the age of a teenager, it was quite her first time in a club, so, they exited the club early but reaching a certain junction, a man was standing with a guitar and singing in a carried away voice, he was singing from billions voice's, Jamil loves his performance, according to him, he said, if he knew, he and maria would have spent their first outing in the junction where the man was singing.

But Maria was not acquainted with being outside late, because of how her parents brought her up, she wanted them to go and maybe come listened to the man's good performance another day, it seems Jamil was so intense with all the man does, Maria didn't do it on purpose, but it seems she makes him to walk away with her, it was not all Jamil intentions to go by that time.

Jamil resist to go and from the force he hit his face on a tree, his head was severely hit, he lost blood and was nearly death.

Maria rushed him to the hospital and he was admitted and was given treatment. In the morning, information gets to Jamil's family and they claimed that, Maria did it on purpose, they decided that their son studied abroad so that he wouldn't see Maria where he is.

Yet the poor girl on her own, blame herself for what happened, she didn't know if Jamil was angry with her because ever since Jamil was discharged from the hospital, she wasn't granted permission to have a word with him.

So when the sound came like a human being into her room she sat down and listened because it makes her remember the whole scenario that went on that first date she had with Jamil.

Jamil can contact her, if not he's a coward and it's his loss.

Maybe in the future he will but if he doesn't contact her, he is coward, thanks, I admire your comment @wakeupkitty.

That's pretty interesting. Though it's sad that Maria got to be blamed for it. Apart from the struggle to completely grasp the wordings, this is nicely written. Well-done.

I can just imagine what Maria must have gone through. It's unfortunate though, but she shouldn't allow her World stand still, after all Jamil has moved on.

She should move on too, allowing the past to be a determinant of her present isn't really good, thanks, i admire your comment.

Let her move on with her life instead of sitting there, waiting for Jamil. Jamil has gone abroad after the incident and so might not come back to her.
