📖 Fera – Episode 5

🪟 “The Window That Says Nothing”

> 🔍: Sometimes, home feels more distant when you're finally back.

1

When I stepped into the house, the first thing I noticed was the silence.

The TV was on, the kitchen smelled of steamed rice, and my mother glanced at me only once.

Everything was there, and yet, something was missing.

2

This was the same window where my father used to call out —

“Come in, it's already dark!”

Today, it’s wide open.

The breeze flows in, the evening light seeps through…

But no voice follows.

3

I’m back — that’s what it looks like from the outside.

Inside, the walls have grown old,

not just in time but in silence.

4

The wooden chair no longer creaks,

the small bed still stands,

but I no longer fit into it — not in size, but in memory.

5

I rested my hand on the windowsill.

It knows — I’m a visitor in the place I once called home.

People still smile, but their words seem… careful.

Too measured.

As if time has built a glass wall between me and everything I once knew.

6

Mother finally said,

“Eat while it’s warm.”

I wanted to say —

“Ma, I’m going cold too.”

But I didn’t.

🌿 :The window is still open. Only the voices have left.
