YOUR POV
People think that being mute,it's like a psychological problem, you can't talk,so you automatically can't think,or 'hear the voice in your head' but that's not true,I can think,and very well,I also hear that little voice in my head,that would like to come out my mouth,to make even a single sound,but I can't.
I was born mute,since I was little I couldn't talk,or do sounds,my parents were very worried,and when we went to the doctor and he told them that I was mute,well,they freaked out.
But it's not that bad actually, well yeah,you can't talk,but you can communicate using hand signs,and also.
I kinda like them,it's a particular sign for someone different.
Well, I know it's not the best,but at least I can communicate in some way.
I red that the hand signs were invented in 1600 a.C.,pretty long ago, huh?
However, even if I'm mute,I still managed to get a job,as a maid,at the Jhons' house.
We're in 1850,so,instead of going to school, I guess I have to clean.
Not that I don't like it,I like cleaning, but I would prefer to like write,or learn something, because I get annoyed when I have always to get someone to read for me since I can't.
After my train of thoughts, I grabbed my maid's clothes and put it on,putting my hair in a ponytail and my shoes.
I exited my house and started working towards Johns' property.
As I was walking, I saw that it was snowing outside how pretty, i thought as I kept looking at the little snow flakes that fell from the sky.
After awhile I arrived at their house,and knocked on the door,someone opened the door "Oh hey Y/n,welcome" Mrs.Jhon greeted me while smiling, I waved at her and entered as she closed the door behind.
"So,here is the cloth,and some water," she gestured with her hands,and I nodded,grabbing it. She smiled at me and walked away.
I put the clothes in the water and started cleaning the house.
Today, Mrs.Jhon gave me only the kitchen and the living room,so it's not much work.
Once I cleaned everything, I put the cloth on the window,to dry it up,and threw the dirty water away.
I sighed and looked at the clock,it was almost 9 am.
I started walking upstairs, hoping to not disturb no one,and once I arrived,I looked around the rooms,looking for Ben's room,I examined the doors and I found a brown one,from what I remember Ben's door was brown.
I knocked on it,hoping to not have chosen the wrong door,and after awhile someone opened,it was Ben,he looked at me and smiled instantly "Hey" he said waving, and I smiled at him,waving back "come in" he said,as he opened the door more for me,i entered and he closed it.
He sat on his bed,he had already his clothes on,but I saw that he had problems with his pants.
I kneeled down and took a look at the pants carefully, they were unstitched,so I grabbed a needle and a thread, and i started sewing his pants "thanks" he said to me and I smiled at him,sewing his pants.
He looked at me with a soft gaze as I kept tying his shoes, blushing slightly.
I looked up at him,and he looked at me while smiling. "You're very pretty," he said,and I narrowed my eyebrows. "Do you understand pretty?" He asked,while looking at me,and I shook my head "Uh pretty uh..." he quickly got up and looked around his room,I got up too, and I looked at him confused.
He turned towards a vase of flowers and took one of them out "here,this is a flower" he said,and I looked at it "this is pretty" he said and I smiled at him "you,flower,really pretty" he said smiling, and I smiled back,looking at the flower,and then at his pants again and he looked at his pants too "Oh yeah sorry" he walked to the bed again,still with the flower in his hand,I started fixing his pants again and he looked at me,putting the flower in my hair,and i looked at him,he smiled "so beautiful" he said while caressing my face,I blushed and finished fixing his pants,and got up,he got up too and put his pants up,buttoning them,and looked at me "thanks" he smiled and I smiled back, I looked a bit at his room and saw that he has many books,that caught my attention.
He saw my gaze on the books and looked at me "Oh you read these too?" He said while grabbing the books "I love this type,it's like adventure mixed with history" he said as he got closer to me with the books,I looked up at him and took one of the books hesitantly, and opened it,stroking the pages with my fingers slightly.
He looked at me. "You want to read it?" He asked while smiling, I looked at him 'I would like to,but I can't read' I signed with my hands and he looked at me,a bit surprised "you can't read?" He asked and I shook my head,a bit ashamed, he sighed and looked at me "Hey,there's nothing to be ashamed off,come on,come here and i'll teach you,okay?" He asked softly, and I looked at him, and nodded,he sat on his bed and patted the spot beside him,I sat next to him and he started hearing the book,I loved his voice,it was so fluent and calmly.
I leaned my head on his shoulder as he kept reading. He looked at me and smiled ,going on with the story,as I listened carefully to every word he said.
