126 How is your child ?
Miriam
I sat alone in the temple , the golden rays of the evening sun filtering through the stained glass windows , casting shadows from the windows on the marble floors .
I was on one of the meditation alcoves , staring intently at my phone .
My fingers trembled slightly as I traced the outline of the figure on the screen , holding back tears as I took a deep breath .
I’ve been coming here every day since I arrived to pray for him .
I wanted to mourn him too , to release the anguish in my heart but I couldn’t .
Most of all , his last message to me , two days before he died was a chance to reconcile and confess everything to our daughter but … as usual , I was adamant because I thought I had all the time in the world .
I heard footsteps coming towards the temple and I hastily shoved the phone into my pocket, wiping the tears in my eyes as I composed myself into a
meditation pose .

Her auburn hair was tied neatly into a braid and her sharp green eyes were filled with concern as she paused returning my smile .
“ Miriam ,” she said gently , closing the door behind her .
“ Are you alright ? You’ve been praying a lot more these days than when you were here .
Is everything fine ? ” she asked .
“ Yes , I’m fine , ” I responded , perhaps a bit too quickly but I managed a faint smile to throw her off .
“ Just felt like praying .
”
She arched a sceptical brow at me but didn’t press further instead she walked over and sank onto the alcove next to me , resting a hand on my shoulder .
“ Mother Liora just returned from the White Mountains and she’s asking for you .
”
“ Oh , do you know why ? ”
“ No idea , ” she shook her head still studying me .
“ Are you sure you’re fine though ? You seem a bit distracted since you came .
You’ve hardly been sleeping and what’s with the hunger strike ? The kitchen said you’ve been returning your plates with food and I can tell

Is something wrong ? Maybe I can … ”
“ Terra ,” I cut her short , flashing her an assuring smile .
“ I have a lot on my mind but it’s mostly just business and all .
I’m fine .
Now , I better go to Mother Liora , I don’t want to keep her waiting .
