The Word I Wish I Said Novels & Stories

~Ioana~ When I was young, my wishes never came true no matter how well or hard I'd pray to the moon goddess. But suddenly, who can tell me why my wishes became incredibly effective? I wanted to go back and slap myself when I screamed at Alessandro, "I wish you'd forget I exist, not just you, but the whole world would." He had hushed me, but I was undeterred. And now my wish, in the worst way possible, was answered.

his gaze is thoughtful as it rests on me, “I have a good sense of people. I’ve aways had it. When I first saw you, I knew you were a good person. You have a sharp tongue but a good heart. You’re a fair person.” I stare at him. “Please tell me you did not just make a sappy, little speech because I gave you a flag.” His lips quirk. “Fine. We can pretend I didn’t say anything.” “Oh, thank God,” I mutter. “Or I would have to throw up.” “You know you attract more flies with honey rather than vinegar.” “Why would I want to attract flies?” I give him an annoyed look. “It’s a saying.” “Well, it’s a stupid saying.”

He stood there awkwardly, clearly struggling to find the right words. I spoke first. “You can go now. I don’t want to hear more apologies. During my time here, I’ve found myself again. I’ve rediscovered the dreams I’d abandoned, and you know me well enough to understand. If I’ve made up my mind, nothing you do can change it, especially when there’s a child involved.” This time, I turned away first. I had watched him walk away from me so many times before that this time, I wanted him to feel it.

[Don't speak like that] I wrote my wish on the back and looked at him while I observed that he is already looking at me. [What are you looking at?] "Is that your wish?" [What's wrong with that?] "I thought you would like something more like you want to go back home," He said and looked at the wish I wrote. I wrote that 'I wish everyone I know, the people I love living on the other side, should be healthy and happy and not worry about me.' It is the same as telling you that I won't back, isn't it?

I wish I could bring you back. I wish you could smile again. I wish we could talk again. I wish we could still hear your voice. I wish I could tell you how much we love you. I wish I could tell you and convince you this is not right. I wish to convince you that you had no right to end your life. I wish you would come back. If these wishes cannot come true, then, I pray to God to burn those, who made you commit suicide, in the fires of hell forever. Above all, I still wish you could come back. We Love You. You will always be missed, Sheffali. Rest in Peace.

Mу vоісе trаіlеd оff, I wаѕ lуіng fоr Elijah’s benefit, my wоrdѕ hеld no соnvісtіоn but fоr him I’d асt like I wаѕn’t ѕtіll broken inside. “I knоw you wіll, that would be mу one wish tо уоu tо see you hарру аgаіn.” A tear trickled down his fасе аѕ I fеlt my оwn, but those kind оf wіѕhеѕ оnlу hарреnеd in story books, but for hіѕ ѕаkе, I wоuld pretend. Evеn thоugh іn my hеаrt I already knеw I’d never fееl that lеvеl оf hарріnеѕѕ again.

I laughed while watching his retreating back. However, my laugh quickly morphed into a bitter smile when I remembered what I wished for. "How could I say it out loud?" I muttered under my breath. How could I say my wish to you? When you're the one that I wished for.

Hmm… Maybe… “I wish finding the love of my life isn’t so complicated and difficult.” I fervently pray to whoever is granting wishes out there. Silently, of course. I know my radio connection is on and if somebody else hears me wishing upon a star — or rather a planet, I would die of embarrassment or be even more of a recluse. Which is pretty much the same in my parents’ vocabulary.

about you to Lilly to make her give me that wolfsbane. I wish now that I hadn’t thrown things at you as you tried to calm me down so the doctor could save my life. I wish now that I hadn’t been so mean to you the morning after, when you teased me about my first shift. I wish now I was more understanding, more willing to be open and honest. I wish now that I never once told you that I didn’t want you to be my mate. I wish now you didn’t reject me. I wish I could take it all back and you would never hear me say any of it, but I know it is what you will always remember about me. I miss you terribly and my heart hurts because I know I’ve hurt you so badly and you won’t give me the chance

“I wish for our family to be happy. For Mom to stay healthy, for Dad to stay safe. I wish for Matthew and me to keep loving each other, and for us to achieve our dreams!” God knows how sincerely I made that wish. Everything felt like a dream. If I could go back in time two years, I never would’ve imagined that one day I’d live in a mansion like a castle, wear a beautiful gown, go on dates with the boy I love, and come home to celebrate a warm birthday. God, forgive my greed. I wish that every day could be as beautiful as today. So when Mom said there was another surprise, I thought my wish was already coming true.
