silence

...

it can be awkward

or uncomfortable

or sad.

it can be electric

or ominous

or mad.

...

For her,

there was no silence.

Just the frenzy

of choked sobs.

shoulders shaking

to compress the

pathetic noises.

...

She had come back from Salah.

Come home

and her mother was just sitting there.

"Aleyah, I need to tell you something'

...

It was stage four.

Esophageal cancer.

Nothing that they could do.

...

They would let her.

Let her

WITHER AWAY INTO DEATH!

How?

could they.

She needed her mother.

They had just started over. 

Happy.

and now...

this.

....

So they cried,

Hoping for a miracle.

(

yah, so her mum has cancer.

Eid had passed, I hope ya'll had a good Eid.

I am seven chapters behind until the end of this so hang in there, Imma need more than 30 days.
