Whispers Of The Past

Elijah Peji Romance

Malliah Alcantara was the kind of girl who made the world feel quieter. Raised in the gentle rhythm of provincial life, she was kind, modest, and unaware of the quiet storm brewing in the heart of Joshua Escultor—her elder sister’s classmate. At eighteen, Joshua found himself captivated by Malliah’s innocence and grace, but he chose silence over confession. She was only fourteen, and he knew her future mattered more than fleeting teenage emotions. So he waited. But life, as it often does, pulled them in different directions. Joshua left without ever revealing his feelings, and Malliah grew up never knowing the depth of the love that had once watched her from afar. Thirty years passed. No letters. No calls. Just memories tucked away in the corners of their hearts. Now, in 2021, fate brings them face to face once again. But the years have changed everything. Malliah is no longer the carefree girl from the province—she’s a mother, and her health is fragile. Joshua, now a man shaped by time and longing, sees the woman he once loved, still carrying the quiet strength that first drew him in. But is it too late? As they navigate the delicate terrain of reunion, unspoken emotions, and the weight of time, Joshua must decide whether to finally voice the love he buried decades ago. And Malliah, battling her own struggles, must choose whether to open her heart to a love she never knew existed. Whispers of the Past is a poignant tale of love delayed but not denied—of second chances, quiet devotion, and the timeless question: can love still bloom after thirty years of silence?
