Silent Feeling

Untitled Episode8

From the side, James would smile and say, not only me, we both are waiting. With the passage of time, dreams were getting deeper in their hearts.

One evening the two of them were sitting on the balcony. The red sun was going down in the sky. A calm atmosphere all around. Sophia's hair was blowing in a light breeze.

Sofia said slowly, James, if it's a girl? James smiled and said, then she will be the most beautiful girl in the world.

And if it's a boy? James thought for a while and said, then he will be a good man like his mother.

Sofia smiled and rested her head on James' shoulder. At that moment they both felt that the most beautiful chapter of their life was standing in front.

But life is not always the same. Even in every joy there is some uncertainty of the unknown future hidden. Yet James knew that no matter how many obstacles came, they could handle everything together.

He grabbed Sophia's hand tightly. There is only one belief in his mind. If you have love, no path is difficult. And with that belief they started moving forward.

Towards the new chapter of their life, where love will become wider, deeper with the touch of not only two, but a new life.

James did not want to go to university that day. His mind was strangely restless since dawn.

As if some unknown fear was eating him from inside. Sophia's face, her smile, her speech, her soft eyes were floating in front of her eyes.

Today he has to stay home alone. The work aunt who looked after Sophia every day took leave that day. This little thing also created an unknown worry in James' mind.

Even after reaching the university, James could not control his mind. He entered the classroom and stood in front of the students, but his heart was at home, near Sofia.

While teaching the history chapter, he repeatedly made mistakes. The students looked at him in surprise, but James seemed to notice nothing.

The lack of self-confidence was evident in his voice, and there was an impression of deep thought in his eyes.

Time didn't want to move on. When the holiday bells finally rang, James did not delay for a moment. He hurriedly left the university.

He quickly walked towards the house, as if every step was leading him towards an unknown truth. Reaching the gate of the house, his eyes went to the window as usual.

Every day at this time, Sophia would stand by the window, waiting for him. But today, Sophia wasn't there. The empty window suddenly made his heart feel empty.

James's chest heaved.

He quickly ran inside the house and called out,

Sophia! Sophia!

But there was no response.

He started running from one room to another. Each room was empty, silent. It was as if the house had suddenly become lifeless. Just then, the roar of the clouds was heard outside.

In an instant, the sky turned black. A strong storm began, accompanied by heavy rain. Nature also seemed to reflect its unrest today.

Questions began to swirl in James' mind...

Where did Sophia go? What happened to her?

Uneasy, he sat down in a chair for a moment, but he couldn't sit still.

Just then, a strange sound came to his ears....

Thump... thump...

As if water was falling from somewhere and the window was rattling in the wind.

He noticed that the bathroom door was half open.

The bathroom window was open, letting in an uncomfortable sound. James slowly walked towards the bathroom door. His heart began to pound in his chest.

As he pushed the door and entered, he suddenly settled down. Sophia is lying on the floor, wet with blood, frozen, unconscious. For a moment James seemed to understand nothing. The scene in front of his eyes seemed unbelievable.

Sophia is lying on the floor of the cold bathroom, blood is spread all around. Outside the storm rampage, the sound of the window shivering, and this terrible silence inside.

All in all, the moment turned into a nightmare.

His body began to tremble. Slowly, he knelt down beside Sophia.

With trembling hands, he called out softly, "Sophia… can you hear me?" But there was no response.

At that moment, James realized. Standing next to the most beautiful dream of his life was a deep, unknown fear.

Sophia…! Sophia…!

The panic in his voice was clear. Every word seemed to be torn from his chest. He quickly lifted Sophia's head into his lap.

His face is pale, his lips are pale, his eyes are closed. His breathing is so weak that it is difficult to understand.

Open your eyes… I am here… Nothing will happen to you…

James whispered, but his own voice was shaking. There was a heavy storm outside. Flashes of lightning occasionally lit up the room and then plunged it into darkness again.

In that momentary light, Sophia's frozen face looked even more terrifying. Suddenly, James thought he couldn't sit like this.

A second's delay would mean increased danger. He stood up quickly and ran towards the telephone on the table. His hands were shaking so much that it was difficult to even dial the number.
