Novel & Cerita The Silence Was Deafening

she smiled genuinely making me heart warm up to her. I mastered up a small smile and went inside, I felt my anxiety pipe up and I nodded at them in acknowledgment. One good thing about my family is that they all are comfortable with my silence. Apart from my parents no one knows that I can speak again and no one ever forced me to either. It's better this way. Not having to explain anything to anyone. Staying in my own mind, even though it can be harmful sometimes I don't care. "I'm literally stinking and exhausted right now" I wanted to groan but smiled at what Malaika was saying. She was a nice girl with an even beautiful accent. Her Urdu is to die for, god. That's my new inspiration right

“ Meara!” The whispers started again, soft but notable. I tensed, my eyes snapping open. I scanned the field, but there was no one in sight. The sound seemed to come from the tree itself, from the rustling of its leaves. I pressed my palms against the rough bark and closed my eyes, focusing on the whispers. " Come... find... me..." The words were faint but distinct. My heart raced. Was I losing my mind, or was there something more to these whispers? I stood up, brushing the dirt off my jeans, and took a few steps back. The whispers grew louder, more insistent.

Almyra's POV, The silence was oppressive, a heavy blanket that suffocated the night. It was as if the world itself was holding its breath, waiting for something to stir. The darkness seemed to vibrate with tension, every sound magnified. A cricket's chirp was a cacophony, a rustling leaf, a deafening roar. The wind held its breath, the trees stood still, and the stars twinkled like ice. In this eerie quiet, every sense was heightened.

No way to stop it. And then… silence. It wasn’t just the absence of sound—it was a suffocating, oppressive quiet that pressed against me from all sides. The world outside seemed to hold its breath, the dying wind stilled, the rustling of the trees, the distant cries of the wounded—everything muted in comparison to the deafening silence that filled the space around me. But it wasn’t just around me. It was inside me, too.

She longed for the chaos of conversation, the rhythm of communication, yet the emptiness remained, heavy and suffocating. It was in the quiet of one particularly lonely evening, rain pattering against the window, that Amara finally understood the truth. Silence was not neutral. Silence was a force, a pressure that demanded action. It was not the absence of words, but the presence of a choice deferred, a mirror held up to the heart, forcing her to confront what she truly wanted.

The silence that followed was deafening, filled only with the sound of our hearts pounding too loudly in one small room. What the hell was that all about now?

The silence was like a gaping void, needing to be filled with sounds, words, anything. The silence was soothing but almost felt poisonous in it's nothingness, cruelly underscoring how vapid their conversation had become. The silence was eerily natural, like a dawn devoid of birdsong. Silence clung to them like a clasping cloud that at any moment could bring a whole new summer for them. Silence seeped into their every pore, like a soothing medicine slowly paralyzing them from either speech or movement. "All i hear is nothing" Mike answered as he scratched his hair in confusion.

Silence. The silence was so loud. It carried about the ashes of memories, walking by and sprinkling their memoirs like carriages. it was the kind of silence that could choke you without holding you, the silently toxic kind, slowly circling you as if it were playing a childhood game and then... bam. you are dead

“Miss me?” The silence that followed was deafening…

However, the whole ride seemed to be filled with silence that is deafening. No one… dared to talk.
