Silent Voice

Soraya shuddered, seeing how the house that had been her nightmare appeared before her eyes. From the front, this house does look like a house in a fairy tale. With a large yard, large trees surrounding the house and the appearance of a fairy house in a storybook.
If only she hadn't had this big of a problem or if there weren't porcelain dolls filling the house. Maybe she'll like this house as much as Robert. But all the terrible things that happened made her no longer able to see the same beauty.
"What are you thinking? Come on in!" Robert stretched out her hand, looking at Soraya with his cold yet gentle eyes, like the first snowflakes of this winter.
Seeing his existence made Soraya feel very grateful because at least in the midst of difficult conditions there was someone who loved her and was by her side.
Soraya took Robert's hand, held it tightly and hoped it would be forever. Robert led her into the house.
Deg...
Just as she had feared earlier, this bad atmosphere assaulted her right at the moment of her first move. Dozens of dolls in the form of girls arranged on shelves and cupboards greeted her with their horrifying round eyes.
Soraya hated this, she wasn't sure that she could last much longer in this house. However, every time she sees the man who faithfully accompanies her, she is forced to endure.
Soraya and Robert entered the room, slowly walking towards the bed, standing still for a few seconds, thinking about the way out.
Soraya sat down weakly, holding her head in both hands. This time she survived her mother's suspicions. But tomorrow is not certain. Especially if the news of Kerry's death really spread and her last letter said that Soraya was the reason why she ended her life.
Robert took off her coat, hung it in the cupboard and sat down next to Soraya.
"What do you think?" Asked Robert. Although he knew what was on Soraya's mind right now. But he tried to act like he didn't know.
"I don't know what will happen to me in the future. But, I know this will definitely be the end of my life!"
"Why are you so pessimistic? Just because you're facing a big problem right now doesn't mean it will be the end of your life. Listen, all problems have a solution. So be patient!"
"How can I be patient? You don't understand! I'm the victim here, but why is it all my fault?" Her voice trembled. Her tears flowed. Soraya sobbed, she really wanted to scream as loud as possible to release all the burdens in her heart.
Robert sighed and was silent for 20 seconds before grabbing Soraya's chin with her hand and landing a soft kiss on her lips. Soraya was silent, she stopped crying but her tears still continued to fall.
Her head felt empty and all bad thoughts suddenly disappeared from her head. Seeing Robert close her eyes as if enjoying this kiss made Soraya want to feel the same way. She closed her eyes, grabbed Robert's shoulders with both hands and hugged her tightly.
She felt as if someone's voice was whispering softly in her ear. The voice that said that everything would be fine. Yes, everything will be fine.
"You're not alone, I'm here with you!"

"Hey, Sora! Sora, let's get up! Look, the first snow has fallen!"
"Really? But, I'm still sleepy! It's still too early, right?"
"Hey, didn't you ask me to build you! Why are you complaining now? Come on, get up! Otherwise, I'll leave you here!"
"Mr Stanley, please don't be-"
"Who is Mr Stanley?"
Soraya immediately opened her eyes wide as she started to hear something strange in her ear. She heard a man's voice speaking to her, but it was very different from the voice of the man she was used to.
When her eyes opened, she saw the face of someone she missed so much. Someone she hasn't seen in a long time, someone she's been missing from her life. Someone who made her feel so many of the biggest regrets of her life.
"Matt?" Her eyes widened. Seeing the face of a man who never stopped gave her the most beautiful smile.
"Why are you so surprised? Like it's been a long time since we've seen each other!"
"Where have you been all this time? What are you doing?" Soraya shouted, she felt so emotional. She grabbed Matthew's body and hugged her very tightly as she sobbed.
"Where are you crying? What's the matter with you, huh?" Matthew gently stroked Soraya's head. Trying to calm his lover who can't stop crying.
"I'm so grateful you're still alive! I'm so grateful!"
"What do you mean? Who's dead? You expect me to die quickly, don't you?" Matthew said with a cheerful laugh. He smiled as if nothing had happened to him.
Soraya let go of her arms, she looked at Matthew's face with so many questions popping up in her head.
"Where have you been for the past two years? What really happened to you? How did you survive those waves?"
"What the hell are you saying? Are you dreaming? Who's drowning? I'm fine!"
"B-but, you-"
"Look, I told you not to try to drink. In just a few sips you're already drunk. You're freaking me out! Did you have a bad dream?"
"Dream? What do you mean? I wasn't dreaming! You literally disappeared on the beach when a big wave came in. You saved me and-" Soraya couldn't finish her sentence. Seeing Matthew's face which looked very confused, made her unable to distinguish which one was a dream and which one was real. Everything was vague.
"Who is Mr Stanley? Why did you say his name earlier?"
"He- he was my lecturer at the University and-"
"Lecturer? What are you talking about? You're still in high school, right?"
"But-"
Soraya started to panic, she didn't know how this could happen to her. She got out of bed, ran to the balcony and opened the window. The winter wind blows hard with white snowflakes.
"Snow?" She muttered. This snow reminded her of that figure. The man who looked like cold snow, yet gentle.
"Sora, you haven't answered my question! Who is Mr Robert? Is he your new boyfriend?"
"He-he just-" Soraya stammered. She didn't know how to explain to Matthew about the figure of Robert who had become her lover in the future.
"Who is he? You won't tell me? Damn b***h!"
"Huh?" Soraya was surprised. She heard Joshua's voice speak right into her ear.
Soraya looked back, she saw the figure of a blonde haired man with his scalp almost detached from his head. Half the skin on his face is missing and the piercing in his ear looks exactly like Joshua Peterson's.
"Damn b***h, I will definitely kill you!"
"No..."
