The Words I Wish I Said Novels & Stories

I feel like I’m out of breath at any moment. “Just for a second, let me tell you the words I badly wanted to say . . .”

I said quietly wishing I could say it to his face. The words didn’t waver or carry any doubt, they just settled firmly,unmovable and final.

, he leaned on the counter of the kitchen, next to me with an easy grin “I wish that it didn't end. I wish we had done it earlier. I wish I could kiss you every night. I wish it was normal for me. I wish… I wish It would come to pass.” I wanted to add one last wish. But I couldn't. He shouldn't hear that. At least not now. Not until I was sure myself

Yet more precious than anything I had ever held. My hands trembled. My heart trembled even more. I looked carefully at his peaceful face. "I wish..." My voice cracked. "I wish we had met under different circumstances, little one." A tear landed on the sky-blue blanket, already damp from his mama's tears. "I wish I could have watched you grow up." "I wish I could have seen your eyes shine like stars..." "Just like your mama's." The last sentence... I never said out loud. But with all my heart...

THE END OF (YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND) First, thank you. Thank you for picking up my novel, (YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND). Thank you for opening the first chapter when you didn’t know me. Thank you for opening the second, and the tenth, and the one-hundredth, when life was busy and your time was precious. In a world full of noise, distractions, and endless choices, you chose to sit with my words. That means more to me than I can ever fit into one letter, but I’m going to try my best anyway.

I just whispered, too soft for anyone else to hear: “I wish I never signed that paper.”

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.

And in its place— Hope. Freedom. Strength. Like maybe… just maybe… I can still move forward. My lips part slightly. The words leave me before I can stop them. “I wish I could have that...” I whisper.

I whispered the words before I could stop myself. “How I wish this face would be the one marrying me.”
