Our Unspoken words✔️
"We don't match. We have nothing in common. I can't keep up with you and I can't slow you down for me" I say and she watches us intensely and smiles. "You didn't say anything to what I said," I say. "Time has the answer for everything. Let's see what answer time has for us. Omar" she says and drives away. I couldn't stop thinking of what Sarah said. 'time has the answers to everything. Let's see what answer time has for us' What plans does time have for them? ................ Most of us are blessed with the ability to speak. Some use it wisely and some take it for granted. Some speak out and some keep everything inside and don't share. I am one of those. I don't speak out my feelings. I like to keep it to myself. Like every other guy in this planet who has a mother, I love my mother. She is the only one who listens to what my eyes speak. She always prays I find a girl who would understand me and love me. I am not waiting for her. I am not looking for her. I don't think anyone is there for me. But sometimes I do pray a silent prayer and I really wish there is some one who would listen to My unspoken words. Special thanks to @ms_elimonroe for the wonderful coverComplete

The Cunning Venus
"There is no true social revolution without the liberation of women. May my eyes never see and my feet never take me to a society where half the people are held in silence. I hear the roar of women's silence. I sense the rumble of their storm and feel the fury of their revolt." ― Thomas Sankara, Women's Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle) This story starts in the mid-'70s when South Africa was experiencing democratic change; it mainly focuses on the challenges that women faced, from not being considered economically valuable to not being provided equal opportunities as men to being faced with discrimination, lack of legislation, tribalisation, segregation, and Domestic issues. This story takes us on a journey of how cunning a woman can overcome all the barriers that hold her back and how she becomes a Cunning Venus. All characters in this story are fictional, and the storyline is not based on the exact historical event.
