Hey all, here is my first attempt at writing in English .. would really appreciate ur comments :nod:
Walking in the gloomy night, on the deserted beach …. Walking with no purpose thinking about his life how it was and how it is now …. How he wishes to recover his old life, his laughter, his compassion … he kept kicking the sand with anger and despair … then when his energy was spent he stood opposite the sea thinking that he could derive strength from its roaring waves …
The memory of that day came crashing as clear as the sea … the day of the car accident that caused his misery, Fehed rubbed his face with his hands once, twice trying to remove the scars but to no avail … he raised his head "please God give me strength and patience"
He continued walking with the moon rays brightening his path till he reached an old house … it beckoned him and he drew nearer … his determined steps were muffled by the sand … his eyes caught something on the stairs … he walked nearer … "What the hell!!" Fehed said in his mind when he saw a ghost wearing a white robe with long black hair … she had her hands on her head and was moaning … he thought of retreating but then she raised her head and was wiping the tears streaming on her glowing cheeks. Fehed closed his eyes thinking that his mind is playing tricks on him but still the image of the lovely ghost was still on the stairs. He rubbed his eyes like a child just woken trying to remove the remnants of sleep but still the girl didn't disappear. He stepped nearer till only mere inches separated them from each other and stood glued to the spot.

She couldn't sleep after her big fight with her dad … each time she closed her eyes she hears her father's angry voice demanding that she go abroad for treatment …
"Why?? Why doesn't anyone understands that I'm content with how I am … that I agree with how God wants my life to be … every time I build hope in my heart it gets destroyed … I can't take it anymore … I don't want to go abroad … the mere thought suffocates me … oh God"
Sarah got out of her bed quietly so that her companion doesn't wake and walked towards the door and out till she reached the outer glass door leading to the beach while counting her steps just like she was taught. She got out and sat on the steps … a weary sigh escaped her troubled body and slowly the torrent of tears started till she surrendered to crying.
Long minutes passed while she revealed all the suppressed feeling in her heart … the ones she couldn't show to her family and somewhat she felt free of the burden of tears … she raised her head and dried her face with her robe sleeve … a light breeze blew on her face bringing with it the tangy scent of the sea and another different scent … Sara lowered her eyelids, focused her senses, and inhaled deeply … a strong exotic scent penetrated her senses … a male perfume that was different than any she had known … she faced the direction the smell is coming from with a frown over her empty eyes and demanded with her husky voice "whose there??" … the only reply she got was the sound of heavy breathing and the heat of someone's body getting close to her … frightened she got up quickly towards the glass door … in her haste she forgot to count her steps and instead of going through it she bumped her head on the wall … but then she groped for the door handle entered the house and slammed the door behind her.

Fehed stood dazed not understanding what just happened … "How did she not see me when my eyes met hers?? Is it possible that her perfect face has sightless eyes?? How is she beautiful and yet blind?? … He felt sorry for her but then there is nothing he could do so he went back and continued walking towards his house feeling a little light in the heart.
