《The Balcony》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Naina grabbed the ball and unwrapped the paper. She peered at it and said, "There is nothing written on this. Does he know I am here?"
Kajal rolled her eyes and grabbed the ball from her hand and turned it around to see a sticky note as usual. It read, "I understand you don't have the sense of music but I hope you have the good sense to stay indoors today."
Naina tucked her chin excitedly on Kajal's shoulders to read the note. She said loudly into Kajal's ears, "Wait how does he know you're sick?"
Kajal winced and pushed Naina away. She said, "I sneezed and he heard. And we don't know if it's a he. Stop assuming."
Naina marched up to Kajal's desk, picked up her pack of sticky notes and dragged the bean bag out on the balcony. She wrote out a note, stuck it to the ball and lobbed it into the balcony. Kajal sat on the bean bag and asked, "What did you write?"
Naina said, "WHO ARE YOU...all capitals."
The ball returned to their balcony. Naina read the note out loud, "Why the sudden curiosity?"
Naina shook her head in exasperation and muttered, "This dude is your twin. Doesn't give anything away. Anyway..."
With that she rolled up her sleeves, sat down and wrote another note. Kajal peered at the note to read, "I am the sister. I must know."
The following note read, "I am a resident of planet Pluto. My interests include neighbour-disturbing music interspersed with note writing. And your sibling is?"
Naina burst out laughing while reading the note out loud. She said to Kajal, "What is wrong with you people? Why can't you give a straight answer? Anyway, what should I write back?"

Kajal opened her mouth to reply but Naina beat her to it. She said, "Ha got it! I will write "My sibling is an earthling. Do Pluto people show their faces to earthlings?"
She caught the next note that came almost instantly and read out, "How do you even know if I have a face?"
Naina grumbled as Kajal laughed. She was right. This person was very similar to her. She did not like to give away information that easily either. She walked up to the railing and stood to see her sky. Naina marched up to her and threw the ball up again. Kajal turned around and faced her sister. She asked, "What did you send?" Naina said with a smirk, "You'll see." Kajal looked heavenward to ask for patience. Instead, she caught a glimpse of a hand throwing the ball back into her balcony. It had long slender fingers. That is all she could register before it retreated into the confines of the balcony. She caught the ball in her hands for the first time. She looked down to read the note. It was a cell phone number.
Naina looked at it, smiled and said, "The ball is now in your court sista."
Thank you for reading! I am glad you're enjoying reading the story as much as I am writing it. Spoiler alert: Chapter 7 is important in more ways than one. :D -S

Memoirs of A Healer/Clinical Social Worker: Autobiography of Bruce Whealton
A loving spouse. A healer. How does this person cope with evil villains willing to destroy everything? They convicted the victim... now how does the victim goes on with life as a healer?As the book opens, I was in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt in December 2019. What starts as a simple conversation with another patient changed my life. Most of the rest of the book tells the reader how I got to this point. I experienced profound injustice between 2004 and 2006. By opening with a story about suicide, I want the reader to understand that the injustice was not just something that happened long ago.This book is an account of all the accomplishments and successes that I had in overcoming tremendous odds and challenges. Growing up, I was paralyzed by shyness and lacked social skills, and so the idea of becoming a psychotherapist never occurred to me when I went off to college. I learned that I could overcome those limitations. I wanted to bring that hope and healing to others. Activities like that make life meaningful and bring me joy. The reasons why I was suicidal in 2019 were set in motion in 2000 when a meteor would come crashing down upon the life that I had built leaving me powerless to do anything other than watching everything burn to ashes - the home that I had, the life I had known, the love I had, my career, everything would disappear almost as if it never existed. In that one the year 2000, I could not imagine things could get any worse. But the nightmare would continue for the next few years... culminating in a suicide attempt in 2019. Now, I am connecting with others, building relationships, and finding a reason to live again. I am writing my own story of my life. I will fight against the injustice of the past and offer my gifts to the world. I have so much to offer. I have quite a story to tell. I hope you will help me to move on with my life.
