BREAKS IN A SIGH

r, Mr Axel Hedges, and his mother, Mrs Luna Hedges. The thought of his father heading home from the clinic instead of

of a fall. It has been his routine thing since he had the stroke. ''Yes, Dad, I am in the office right now'' Sage replied, and paused to understand something, because his father's voice had come in stutters. ''Dad, is everything all right?'' he asked with some pints of w

itting room and dialed Sage's phone number. ''Hel-lo, Dad, are you upstairs now?'' Sage asked. ''Yes, son, I am in the sitting room now'' Axel replied. ''Alright, Dad, she was stable when I left the hospital'' Sage said, trying to curry his attention into her mother's health. ''That's good. Hope he told you what happened to

him that his mother had not told him the truth about her broken arm. He had lived with that man for close to thirty years and had not seen him that insensitive. But the confusion that remained true in his heart was the fear of losing his mother because

, what happened to her?'' Rowan asked. ''She fell down on the floor and broke her arm, her left arm. It happened in the morning'' Sage replied. ''Oh, that's bad'' Rowan said. ''Yes, it is'' Sage replied, as he pointed to his staff member, Angela, who had just come in, the very file on his table to take. Angela picked the file and quietly walked away. ''So, when next are you

Rowan was confused, he had forgotten that he mistakenly mentioned the name, Ava, and was surprised to hear that question coming from Luna. ''What happened to her?'' he asked, curiously. ''I mean, were you not the one that called Ava now? Or sorry, please, who am I speaking with?'' Luna asked as she sat up at the edge of the bed, almost pulling her drip along. ''This is Rowan Storm you are talking with. I did not mention Ava, I am even alone at home. I don't get it, are you okay, ma?'' Rowan asked. There was silence, and not just for anything, but it was a little crack in a moment that Luna used to see if she could perceive at least a sound of breath or maybe voice, from the background from where Rowan was calling from. ''Hello, ma, hello'' Rowan said. ''I am here, Rowan, was i

What crime is it eating from my sweat? How many years do you think I have left in this world that I should stop eating in my last days? Come on. Please, stop. Get those things, if no guests come around, I have a mouth, too'' Axel said, in stutters caused by a choking anger. ''I have heard you, sir. Calm down, you know you don't need this mental stress. You have been mentioning your last days and all that about your last day, Dad, nobody is ready to wel-come it now. Stay around, we still need you. I will make a good selection of some good wine and stock for you and '' Sage said, suggestively. ''Son, restock the bars as they used to be. If you have forgotten their names and the numbers they come in, I will ask Larry to send them to you'' Axel said. ''It is okay, but please, you have to reduce your intake of these things, at least until you recover fully'' Sage replied, suggestively. ''I appreciate your advice, but then, don't fail to restock these bars today'' Axel said, and pause. There was a sound of a phone ringing from the background. ''It seems you have a call, answer it and get back to me'' he continued. ''No, don't worry, it is my friend, calling'' Sage replied as he busied the call. ''Oh, your friend? Who is that? Rowan?'' Axel asked. ''Yes, it is him. He wanted to follow me to the hospital to see mom'' Sage replied. ''Okay, but don't forget what I told yo
