Episode 25
My back ached badly as my tummy thumped in pain.
I fell to the ground, holding my tummy in anguish
But I could not lose sight of this weird guy staring at the ground as if he could not see a woman fall right in front of him.
Yet he called me mummy!
Was I really going to die?
Was this a post-delivery trauma?
The guy smiled
I was shocked!
Like, a person could still smile at anotherâs calamity and pain?
At this moment?âŠoh No!
The most annoying part was that the guy hadnât even looked at me since over an hour that I had been staring at him.
âYou arenât gonna dieâ he said in a distinctive way and I looked at him intently
âWhat!â I exclaimed
Could he read minds?
How did he probably get what was on my mind precisely?
How?
He smiled again as if he knew exactly what was on my mind.
âDo you read minds? Like, you are an astrologer or astronomer or something?â I was forced to ask and he not only smiled, he burst out laughing
âOh mummyâŠ!â he exclaimed and I was amazed
Mummy?
He wasnât looking into my face
Or was it a dream?
Was this person just an angel conversing with me in a dream?
I had to pinch my cheek in a bid to reassure myself before I was convinced that it was real.
âWho are you?â I asked loudly, my heart racing fiercely.
He didnât answer
He fumbled with his hands and I became charged to talk the more.
Who is this man?
âWhy are you not looking at me? Why are you talking to me with your face down?
Why?â I asked, almost angrily
This man had made me to stress myself beyond the limit.
ButâŠjust realizingâŠ
My bleeding had stopped!
I checked myself up and started jumping hysterically.
He grinned loudly and clapped his hands.
But he wasnât looking at me.
I stopped jumping and looked at him
He was absurd
âLook at me for once mister man!â I shouted at him and he shrugged
âWhy? Why do you want me to look into your face? Why?â he asked on
Was his face shaking?
âIsnât it weird that one would be talking to someone and he doesnât care to maintain eye contact? Isnât it?â I asked and checked if he would change his mind and look at me but he didnât.
I continued
âIt is even wrong that someone obviously younger than me would not obey a simple request of âlook at me!â is it a big deal?â
âNo itâs notâ he said, he sniffed wetly
Was he crying?
âWhen I look at you, what would I see?â he asked and I was amazed
Was that supposed to be a question?
âYou would see me! Isnât that supposed to be something?â I was almost screaming
I was going crazy
âNo. I would see darknessâŠstark darkness I meanâ he blurted out and I was taken aback
Darkness?
The darkness howling over me was that visible?
Oh my God!
âNot that you are darkness yourselfâ he said and I sighed
So what?
âWhen I bend over a piano, I see lightâŠonly light. Not even the black and white keysâŠI see light! That is why I prefer to be bent and glare at the light.â
What?
What a weirdo!
Or did he have an undisclosed spiritual illness?
âBut when you look up, you see darkness?â I asked and he nodded
âStark darkness!â he emphasized
âWhy?â I inquired the more
He looked up at me and I looked intently at his face
Handsome!
Good eyesâŠ
Nice lips
âYou look really good. You are handsomeâ I exclaimed and he smiled handsomely
âThank you mumâ he said as he blinked over and over again
So, whatâs the problem?
âBut I canât see.â He announced loudly and I frowned a bit
I didnât understand at allâŠ
âI am blind!â he said slowly as tears ran down his face
He smiled and bent over the piano and started playing âI know who holds tomorrowâ rhythmically
My heart leaped and almost jumped out of its cage
He is blind?
OMG!
