who’s joe?
“Who’s Joe?” Eric asked again with curiosity in his eyes. Nora looked away as she exhaled. There was silence. Sandra turned to Nora to spill out the whole story but she didn’t, she knew it was heavy for her to say, considering it would affect Eric totally and she kept it hidden from him the whole time. “Sandra? Talk to me, who’s Joe?” Eric repeated. His voice, lost in his suspense. Sandra exhaled. “Joe….. uh…. Is a…” Sandra started.“Is what?” Eric asked, even more curious. “He was a mysterious man,” Nora came into the conversation with a revelation. Sandra turned to her and gave her a gentle nod of approval. “Mystery man?” Eric asked. “Yeah mystery man,” Sandra replied. “I’m confused,” Eric blunted. “Eric, look, sorry for keeping this away from you but I promise to explain everything, without hiding anything, on the way home. I promise,” Nora said, looking straight into Eric's eyes. “Please…..,” Nora said, holding his hands. Eric exhaled and he agreed. “Okay, let me ge
The Proposal.
Nora packed up her stuff she came with, and suddenly, her name tag from her place of work fell off her bag. It made a shattering sound but that came with a lot of flashbacks. “What’s it?” Sandra asked, noticing the pause in Nora's footsteps, as she slowly reached down to pick up something. Nora turned, revealing the name tag, her mood ruined. “Oh, Nora….. I understand but just let it go, okay?” Sandra requested. Nora nodded. She shoved the name tag into a waste bin nearby. “Come, Eric is waiting,” Sandra said. Nora shrugged off the sour feeling and followed her. The nurse at the reception gave both of them a nonchalant look and went back to her business. Nora and Sandra hurried back to the room, where Eric was. Meanwhile, he was awake from the long sleep he had, and the doctor was standing beside him, examining him. Eric heard a soft knock on the door. Knock, knock. “Coming!” The doctor answered loudly. The door opened slowly, and Nora and Sandra crept in, the doctor tu
Troubled Mind.
Eric's life was hanging by a thin thread, while Nora’s life was in crisis, both worlds were in turmoil. Meanwhile, amid the crisis. Lisa was in her mansion, but not asleep but awake. Lisa sat on the edge of her king-size bed, while Oliver, her new husband was fast asleep, snoring innocently. Lisa couldn’t shut her eyes, sleep was far away from her, her mind was troubled, and several thoughts were processed at the same time. Lisa got up from the bed, in her semi-transparent milk color night gown she moved close to the window, her arms crossed, still lost in thought. Lisa opened the window. She looked out the window, cold breeze greeted her first. Indeed it was cold outside. She sighed. Oliver, her new husband, was asleep but he was accompanied by his side as he searched for Lisa beside him, but he couldn’t find his wife. Oliver turned slowly to his side, and Lisa was not in bed with him. Oliver got up, turned on the lights, with the switch beside his bed. He looked around and
The Loan.
Nora stormed through the doors of the ER; she was out of breath and her hair was flying through the wind. And the receptionist started awake, but at that Nora was running down the hall, the squeak, squeak of her shining shoes on the waxed floor.One of the nurses was offended by Nora. "Eric! Eric!! where is he? Where……. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HIM?" With an echoing voice Nora asked.One of the nurses indicated toward the end of the hall. "Room 307. In that manner ma am,” The nurses in a casual way directed Nora in the direction. What Nora did not say thank you. Up the steps she came three of them at a bound; her heart scampering every time. Standing at the door, Sandra was bent with some tears in her face, her hands trembled.Sandra sighted. "Nora?" Sandra started to go but Nora pushed her aside and her fingers were pointing straight at the bed.Eric was quiet, quite too quiet. The machines were not in voice. In a horrible, interminable moment the heart of Nora stood still. Next the
The Desperate Call.
Nora was beating the ground with her feet, breath, uneven, gasping. The city ran in a haze before her eyes the street-lights had become smears of gold, the roar of traffic a far away noise to her ears. Her bag hung by her, a handhold. Her fingers sank in the material as though she could find an anchor in the raging in her heart. So now what? Asked Nora. The doubt was playing in her mind, over and over. Home? Back to hospital? Both were not an escape. Home was nothing but four walls of quietness. Eric was between and lay over in the hospital, pale palpitating, unable to move except thanks to the machines. And then was the debt. Keep that in mind: the loan that I lent you, you are to pay back within a month! The voice of her boss began to re-enter into her mind, poisonous. Nora sank her teeth. She had gulped her pride and borrowed that loan to pay for her tuition fee, not having any other option. And now, she had lost a job, had no income, how should she ever get it back? a b
Turbulent.
The door swung shut behind Nora with a gentle jingle, lost under the clatter of cups, the roar of espresso machines, and the building hum of a crowd that had no idea how close to shattering she was. She lingered, surrounded by the aroma of coffee brewing and pastries, grounding herself in the warm, hectic chaos of the café."Nora! This evening we're serving alcohol, fewer teas and coffees," her boss shouted to her."Since when?" Nora shot back."You can look at the sign outside," her boss snapped back.Nora was taken aback.Her shift had only just begun, and already she could feel the tension behind her eyes.Customers waited in a zigzag line almost to the door, thumping their phones or scowling in over-the-top frustration. Others clustered beside the counter, shouting into frazzled employees as if they were on oxygen and at risk of suffocation.Nora smoothed her apron, tucking the necklace she'd found a while earlier discreetly into her pocket. Her mind was still going over the memor
