“That first look”
My hands were shaking, holding the last thing I had left — a half-burnt photo of my parents.
The woman who smiled like spring, and the man who called me his little angel
They were gone
And now i was here..
A house full of strange voices and roaming strangers
A home that wasn’t mine, My home was where my parents were, where tunes of laughter giggles and warm love filled the air always.No matter what
But now i am standing here with a little pink bag over my shoulders which my mother once bought for me this pink little bag is my only sanctuary now, and that little burned half gone in ashes memory of mama baba and me in a picture standing in a park hugging each other like nothing else ever mattered in the world
I was now in a room full of people talking loud,shouting maybe screaming at each other. Those voices were way to loud for a 8 year old girl like me who never heard a single raised voice ever maybe other kids could bare but For me
these voices were making me dizzy the room was moving itself in circles around my eyes. i could not see one face in front of me they were all becoming blurry they were all slowly turning into my nightmare, i was trying..trying my best to focus to see but…… i couldn’t i-i just couldn’t their voices were making their way in my head and my head was repeating their nonstop screaming and shouting yelling at each other
Maybe i..i am gonna fall asleep or worse am i gonna faint i can’t take it any more
My mom never lets me out of the house like normal kids ..those kids who enjoy,play ,run and scream
But i never could maybe thats why my mother used to call me Fragile
But once i overheard my mama talking to my baba she was really worried and said i have some kind of phobia…… i still remember it was called something like phono-phobia
My head was just dizzy i was so near to touch the ground and collapse
I used to wonder how fainting would feel like is this the same how it feels?
As 8 year old i always wanted to experience it once but it hurts so awfully abominable
My eyes blurry eyes suddenly STOPED stoped like the calmness before the most petrifying Storm
My eyes went in those Blue eyes staring directly in my black doe-like wide once. Those eyes they were colder darker and Ruthless but way to silent that Calms me
Those eyes look directly into my soul like they know everything everything i faced,i fell,i think
They were making me scared but at the same point
I didn’t faint……How ?
Those eyes were not blinking nor a bit I tried to say hello.
Just a whisper. Just a sound.
But my voice got stuck in my throat when his eyes moved.
They narrowed—just barely.
Like I’d done something wrong by speaking.
And then…He turned and walked away.
Not a word.
Not even a step that creaked
Was i hallucinating things now Is this even a symptom of collapsing?
But those eyes who do they belong to, way was it effecting ,and why were they so Mesmerising while being so Scary at once
