It was announced by no other person than her twin sister, Lora Dante, who posted it on her F******k page early this morning. Nora was a bright and intelligent girl who rose into fame when she acted 'When the Star Sing'. She is the highest paid young actress in Casala, her country home. The story of how Nora, a 10 year old girl, who came into limelight has been told repeatedly, her story is from grass to grace. Before her death, it was said she willed all her properties in Lola's name should in case something happened to her, which also Lola posted." The newscaster said and the picture was displayed on the T.v. "It's a pity Casala lost one of its very own, a special one. The date of her burial hasn't been fixed yet, we all sympathize with the grieving family."Somewhere in Floda:Once the plane landed them on Floda, Kate texted her driver to come down to the airport to pick her and her granddaughter up.In less than 30 minutes the driver pulled up beside Kate. He quickly got down from the Suv Jeep and open the door for Kate and Nora to enter. Nora who was asleep rested comfy against Kate's shoulder who carried her in.The driver open the car booth and put the little luggage in it, closing it, he entered the car, started it and drove them out of the airport."How was your little trip ma'am?""It was fine Craig thank you, you did not come with your son Philip to the airport?" Kate asked."No ma'am, he doesn't want to come with me today, he wants to stay at home and welcome your granddaughter." The driver now known as Craig replied Kate.Kate smiled at that. "I hope you told him about the situation of my Nora? I don't want him to start asking questions.""Yes ma'am, Philip is fully aware of it." Craig answered."Good, Philip is just like you Craig, I am happy Nora will have someone to play with.""Thank you for your complement ma'am."Craig lost his wife some years ago in an accident which claimed her life. Philip, his son, was young then. After his wife burial, things became so difficult for them that his son has to drop out from school and join his father in collecting and throwing away dustbin from door to door and were getting paid.They met Kate when they went to her house to ask if she has any dirt to throw away.Kate took pity on them especially his son and asked his father which other job he could do."I can drive ma'am, I was once a driver in a company before I lost my wife."Kate immediately employed him and gave him and his son the boys quarter to stay, her kindness didn't end there, she also enrolled Philip in one of the best schools in Floda. For her kindness Philip prepared a delicious delicacy for her, which she ate. It was then she got to know that his late mother was a cook in a big restaurant and that was where Philip had learned how to cook. Ever since she tasted his food, Philip get to prepare her a special delicacy on her birthday.They soon reached her house and the gate man quickly open the gate for them. At that moment Nora woke up."Nora we are home." Kate said sadly, she has forgotten that Nora couldn't hear her.Philip a young boy of 15, was waiting patiently for them at the corridor, once he saw Nora getting down and standing next to Kate, he was taken aback by her beauty and noticed there was no trace of smile in her face, then and there he swore silently to himself that he will make her smile and always be her eyes and ears.He later told Kate once they were inside the house that he would be the one to prepare the evening meal that day, at least to welcome Nora.A week later, Kate paid two teachers who usually come to her house everyday to teach Nora sign language and Braille. With time Nora was fast learning it.**In Casala:Lola announced that they have buried Nora that it was Nora's last wish which she had written before committing her suicide.Lola soon became famous for her singing roles in movies that people all over the world would buy her movies just to hear her sing. Nora was soon forgotten in time as Lola take over.***Floda:As the months rolled away, Nora wishes to see and hear everything that is going on around her, especially Philip, she got to know his name through Braille, when Philip wrote it out for her. She wish she could tell him how nice he was and how she loved his food. She was scared to write out her thoughts, how could she write something she couldn't see. Everyday she woke up hopping to see the world like she once did but every time she was disappointed.With each day that passes, Nora and Philip became close.One stormy night, Nora was trying to make out some words with her Braille book when she felt it.She shrugged her shoulder and continued her reading, she felt it once again as if someone or something was calling out to her. She had mastered the whole house and sometimes wander around the house on her own, sometimes with Philip.Nora got down from her bed and find herself bending down beside her bed. As if she was being controlled by something she pushed her bed to one side of the room, with her two hands she felt around the floor and her left hand caught something. Touching it carefully she noticed it was like a door handle. Nora find herself pushing it, it gave a quiet squeaked as it gave way, revealing an ancient staircase. She touched around and felt the staircase.Nora tried to stop herself from going down but couldn't, she wanted to scream but remembered she couldn't.Why was her body not obeying her? Did her grandmother not know about this secret door in her room when she brought the house?So many questions ran through her mind that was left unanswered. She closes her eyes and walk down the stairs.When she felt her feet touched the mere ground, she opened her eyes and got the shock of her life.She could see.She closes her eyes and opened it again, she could still see.She tried to say something and heard her voice, she could also talk.She turned back and look around her and saw herself in a garden, she saw the staircase she has walked on staying in the middle of the garden. She quickly climbed the staircase as soon as her feet touches the staircase on her third stride, she couldn't see nor talk.Her body automatically turned back and she find her feet touching the ground once again.As soon as her feet touches the ground, she could see.She took her time and look around the garden, this time, she noticed that this wasn't a mere garden.'Dance every performance as if it were your last. Dance from your heart and let your passion shine through.'What is going on? Why is she seeing in this garden? Does it mean she was in a magic garden?Nora thought as she looked around in bewilderment. So many questions left unanswered.She tried to come up with a reason why she was here but couldn't.As if she was still controlled, she began walking down a part which suddenly appeared in her right side.As she walk, she couldn't help but notice the beauty of the garden. Filled with all kinds of flowers, the garden smells nicely and in as much as she wondered where she was, Nora smiled for the first time.She was so much taken by the beauty of the garden that she didn't notice when she stopped moving. When she did, she gasped out in shocked and dismay to what her eyes saw.Right in front of her were plenty fairies, all kinds of fairies, small and beautiful, but something seemed odd with the way they
'In life, what you really want will never come easy.'The smile that aggrandize Kate's face was one in a billion when Nora used the Braille words to reply her. Thank heavens that she could hear, just a little time and she will recovered."I am so happy for you Nora. This has been the best news I have ever heard." Kate told her and hug her tightly, Nora returning the hug with a smile of her own. Kate soon left Nora's room in a happy state. She won't give up on her grandchild, Nora deserves everything.Soon Philip came in and pull Nora gently to himself for a hug."My dad told me that you can hear once again, I am so happy for you Nora." Philip said in a happy tone after he released Nora from his hug, he sat down next to her on her bed she sat on.Nora smiled at him for the very first time she had came here. "I am happy too, that I can hear you Philip, especially to hear your voice." Nora wrote through Braille words and Philip read it.The smile t
'Life moves on, it never stops. Forever turning, forever burning. Just like the eternal flame of your soul.'The joy that embedded Nora's face couldn't be told."You mean you're going to teach me how to dance?" Nora asked joyfully as she stare at the little fairy."That was what I said Nora." Daisy answered with a little laugh."Thank you so much Daisy, you don't know what this means to me.""I know Nora, there is no more time, dawn will soon catch up with us." Daisy said to her. "Close your eyes and block out every sound you hear." She added.Nora did as she was told, closing her eyes, she blocked out every sound sorrounding her. She felt something warm touching her body, it felt strange but she didn't want to open her eyes to know what was that and lose her concentration. She trusted Daisy."Now, open your eyes Nora." Daisy said, her voice now louder than before.Nora opened her eyes and it grew wide in shock. She was seeing Daisy mo
'Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.'"Yes, it is a promise Philip." Nora answered him smiling as her fingers still lingers on his face.Philip smiled again. "I have wanted to hug you for a long time Nora, can I hug you? Please?"Nora nodded her head.Philip smile and pulled her closer to him wrapping his arms around her.His embrace was warm, and his big, strong arms seemed very protective when wrapped around her frail body. Nora smiled at that and hug him.The world around her melted away as she squeezed him back, not wanting the moment to end."I love you Nora from the bottom of my heart. I have fallen for you. I fall for u today, tomorrow and forever and ever." Philip said under his breath without Nora hearing it.**"Son I am glad you have told her about.. you know. If you haven't summon up the courage t
'Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other'.Kate shouted in disbelief as Nora listened attentively to every word."Craig will you shut up that mouth of yours before I do that for you. How on earth can you say the plane Philip boarded caught fire and there was no survivors." Kate said in an angry tone.Craig allowed the tears to flow freely from his eyes. "Check the news ma'am, I was called and told the plane and every passengers on it were burnt to ashes."Kate wasted no time in switching on the big plasma t.v. in the sitting room and quickly put it on the news station.The first thing she saw was the headlines:Floda Plane Fire Accident: No Survivors."Flight 402 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Floda to Basla. The aircraft took off from Floda at 10:38 local time (12:38 UTC) with 187 passengers and 13 cre
'Forget your past, Learn from your mistakes and look forward to your Future because good things are yet to come.'"I look forward to that sir." Nora told him through her braille words."Please call me Mark, any friend of Philip is also my friend." Mark said smiling at the masked girl.Nora bowed her head and left with Craig to her room."Sorry to ask Mrs Dante, I thought you had two grandchildren, girls, and one committed suicide about 3 years ago. Who then is Ora?" Mark asked. His son David and Lora were friends and she had told him her twin sister, Nora, committed suicide and now she was the only grandchild of the Dante family. Seeing this dancing girl that is of Lora age came as a surprise to him, so he had to ask to be sure about his suspicious."Oh Mark." Kate said laughing. "She is my late sister daughter, the one that died eight years ago. Though she couldn't live with me then until her father died some years back
