whisper in the silence
That day the house felt longer and slowed, each quarter then the one before. Sana thought being alone would make her feel better, A break from tired mind, her broken heart. But the silence felt heavy like the weight she couldn't escape
She thought of divert her mind and stated unpacking things
Cleaning the old furniture. No matter how much she work the house still felt heavy and cold
she starts to thinking about her life her friend the city light tears came into her eyes she slept while crying
The day came she tried to make herself busy in books nothing helped her
By the third night she was falling apart
sana
*sat in the corner of the living room looking at the rotary phone*
She was looking at the phone as it was mocking her as if he knew what all she was going through
sana
I-i thought ii could do this but seems like I can't *sobbing*
sana
I can't be alone anymore *break down*
She looked at the rotary phone crying. It looked like as if it was calling her, the moonlight make it shine
She thought about the strange captain Vincent? Was he real. Or just an accident
She went near the phone hold the receive phone on her ears
sana
*was going to dial the number*
captain vincent
Hello who is it
captain vincent
Didn't i told u to not call me again??
Something inside her broke-- the loneliness, the silence it all boiled over
sana
I didn't call u. I didn't even dial the number it automatically connected to u i don't even know why i picked the stupid phone
She shouted, her voice was trembling
Her voice cracked. She again broke down into tears
The silence grew longer on the line
captain vincent
You are crying
She tried to stop her sobbing and replied
captain vincent

The question hit him hard she wanted to ans, but she didn't know how to, and she was not sure if she should ans the question to a complete stranger
captain vincent
If u were fine then u wouldn't be crying like that u know
sana
I-I am sorry I don't know what I am doing i shouldn't be crying in front of the strange I shouldn't bee
captain vincent
Sometimes it's easier to open up with the strange
captain vincent
No judgement no expectation just talk to me what u say??
His voice sounded comforting
sana
I don't know why I am here
sana
I thought coming here would help me forget everything but the loneliness it kept making me everything I feel like I am caged in the loop of my memory
Capital didn't answer right away. Sana could clearly hear the soft sigh like he understood
captain vincent
You're not Stuck or caged
captain vincent
You are grieving and grief is louder in quite place
His word hit her very deeply. She closed her eyes and let his voice calm her
sana
*tears slow down* I don't know why I called u, but your voice seems comforting
captain vincent
*chuckled* I will take it as the compliment then and u don't need a reason to call me. If it helps them call me no reason no judgement
His word touched her heart
sana

captain vincent

captain vincent

She holds the phone tightly and closed her eyes
sana
I don't know if I can come out of this
captain vincent

captain vincent

captain vincent

sana
I used to love watching sunsets back then when life was simple
captain vincent

sana

His words felt like filled life in her heart
for the first time after the long time she felt hope even if it's a tiny bit but that the new spark
The line cracked softly she imagine him to have a small smile on his face and he said
captain vincent

captain vincent

Sana placed the phone back her hands were trembling the house again felt silent but it wasn't like before
His words stayed with her
