The Silence

She had heard it from a distant and not from him. Why had he told others and not her? Maybe it was the scene he was avoiding. There would be sobbing, caressing and touching words. He could be relieved to leave. Their relationship was complicated and emotional She continued her day pretending not to know. Inside she struggled; why, why, why? Several times she choked on her words. Less talking was best. The day came to an end and they both said good bye like any other day.

Fifty years later she still remembers that day and wonders ,why, why, why?
