A Silent Voice Mom Novels & Stories

she said softly, “don’t let silence scare you. You have a voice. Use it.” Something in me cracked then. For once, I didn’t feel like I was fighting this house alone. Of course, Micah had to ruin the moment. He leaned close to me, whispering, “See? Even your mom ships us.” I kicked him again. Harder this time. He yelped, the sound echoing in the solemn dining room, and even my father’s newspaper twitched like he was tempted to look up. But he didn’t. He stayed buried in his paper, his silence like stone.

Sienna Breaking through the loud music buzzing in my headphones and the vivid scenery I was halfway through painting, Mom's voice cut sharply into my bubble. "Sienna, Jacob forgot this file! Why don't you take it to him?" It never fails—Mom's voice, I mean. No matter how loud my music is or how absorbed I am in my work, her voice always finds its way through. Honestly, I've started to suspect she isn't human. Or maybe she's just perfected the art of shouting at the exact pitch that penetrates even the most deafening musical choices.

However, she didn't. "Speak, Daniel. Humans don't understand unspoken words." She said as I raised my head and stared at her. "Yes, mom." "Good. Now, come with me." Mom spoke in a sweet siren like voice as her warm hand went from my cheek to my hand as she leaded the way pulling me along, behind her. The silence between us seemed to be eating me from inside as my stomach churned in my abdomen. "Mom?" "Mhn." Was she mad at me? I've never seen my mom be like this. She's such a chatterbox. But, I'm not complaining that she's silent. It's just that the cause of the silence seems to be eating me apart.

The metallic sound punctuates the silence like a gunshot, making me flinch despite myself. She plants her back against the door, lips tight, one finger raised to her mouth in a fierce, silent command: "Don't make a sound." The intensity in her eyes sends chills down my spine—not the familiar warmth I've known all my life, but something primal, ancient. Her gaze holds the weight of a thousand unspoken warnings. "Mom?" I mouth silently, the question forming on my lips without sound. She shakes her head once, decisively. The message is clear: *Silence is our only shield now.*

like she was uncomfortable. "Hey...Zayn..." I tried sounding normal. Yet the tone came out wrong. "Hey baby...where are you?" He asked softly. "With my mom, getting back home. I'll call you back, alright? Bye." And I didn't let him say bye before cutting the call. "Uh...what's with the silence, mom?" I asked. "What silence? I gotta focus on driving, sweetie." She replied. As if I was gonna buy that. "Mom, look...if you really don't want me to be with him—"

"Where are you driving at?" "Rule number one." I say. "You said stay silent. But someone who loves you wouldn't be intimidated by you having your own voice. I don't feel like you have your own voice in this marriage. You take Dad's crap and swallow it like it's candy. And I'm tired of seeing a smart and successful doctor like you act like that for a man. If a man is confident and secure, he wouldn't try to dim your light or mute your voice." "Where are you going with this?" Mom asks, her voice a bit weak and shaky.

My mother’s voice was cautious, almost timid. “Sara?” I clenched my fists, ignoring her. The door creaked open slightly. “I brought you some tea,” Mom said, stepping inside. She placed the cup on the bedside table, her movements hesitant. “You haven’t eaten anything all day.” “I’m not hungry,” I said flatly, my voice devoid of emotion. She lingered, her presence grating on my already frayed nerves. “Sara, we need to talk about this. We can figure out a way to....”

Silence followed. Not heavy. Not tense. Just… quiet. For the first time since they started, I was alone. I let out a slow breath. My shoulders relaxed slightly as I lifted my gaze up toward the high ceiling above me. For a moment, I didn’t move. I didn't think too hard. I just… looked. Then softly, under my breath… “Mom…” The word felt small. Fragile but real. “I don’t know if you can see me,” I continued quietly, my voice barely more than a whisper. “But… things are different now.”

Silence filled the room. My mom stood. "Lola!"

My mom’s voice cut my sensual thoughts short. She had managed to walk up to me and stand by my side without getting my attention. My gaze shifted from the purifying hut to my mom’s smaller frame and I nodded, opening a mind link between us both. “I’m worried about her, Mom but she won’t tell me what’s happening. With every day that passes, she becomes paler and–”
