4 THE WHISPER
610 Words
One faithful day, Clara decided to sit outside her house around the balcony, just stare at the stars, and listen to her favorite song.
Clara was the only child of the late Mr. and Mrs. Michael Peterson, and she was loved by them. Not knowing who she was hurts, but what hurts more is why she is sick, she said to herself.
Clara started going to school at age 7.
2 years after the death of her parents, that made her shut down from the world, despite the fact that she doesn’t know what happened. She was told they had an accident and died, and after the incident last week, her memory went blank again.
She just sat outside the balcony listening to her song and staring at the stars because she was so fond of them. She loves stars a lot, and she made them her friends. She also communicates with them.
She just wasn’t a fan of the world; from the very beginning, she shut down her existence from the world but was forced to go out by her uncle, which made her free a little, and she made a new friend named Jane.
Now that she hasn’t been to school for a week, her uncle, who now told her he is her father, called the principle and said Clara won’t be in school for some time and that she is sick. It was told to her teacher, and her class became aware of it and what a pain Jane was. She didn’t ask for Clara’s number or home address, and now she doesn’t know how to reach Clara and check up on her.
Finally, Jane was able to know where Clara lived, and she went to see her. Her aunt took Jane to where Clara was, and as Clara saw Jane, she didn’t remember who she was, but her father (uncle) told her everything about her new school and her one friend, and Clara just smiled. Jane sat down and they were talking, and Jane asked her about her if she was in any relationship, and she said I’m not. But why did Jane say that? Finally, Clara smiled and said, It's not like I don’t want to fall in love, but what I fear most is falling in love. I’m really not into the love stuff.
Then she said to Jane, love isn’t bad, but the problem here is
Falling in love is a risk I cannot take, so I decided to be an indoor girl and am not much a fun-spirited personality, as Jane said but one day something will definitely happen that will change your life and story from a lone WOLF to a happy STAR (Taming her lonely side of yours) Just like a miracle, Clara, you are going to find love—that love you are running away from.
Just as both of them were staring at the stars outside Clara’s home around the balcony, they heard a sound and there they saw a cute tall and handsome guy who had recently moved around the neighborhood Surprisingly, he waved at her with a smile and Jane said he just waved at you and smiled, He is cute and Clara looked at her and said nah, that is not going to work
There and then Clara whispered within her heart and said,.
Who is he?
Why is he waving at me?
Does he know me from somewhere?
I haven't seen him before.
Have we ever met before?
All those thoughts kept creeping in, but she ignored him and continued staring at the stars as she always does every day and night.
LIGHT FADE.
