Chapter 1: The Power of Money
Geznah.S | The Silence Reader
Money.
This word that makes millions of human beings run, every day.
Who makes you dream, shine, fall.
Edgar was not born rich.
He had known the struggles, the tight ends of the month, the silences of an empty fridge.
He grew up looking at shop windows without ever daring to go inside.
So he promised himself: "One day, I too will be on the other side."
And he did.
He worked, cried, and took it all in.
He sacrificed his time, his sleep, his loved ones.
He put his heart on hold to light his dreams.
And one day, it worked.
Geznah.S | The Silence Reader
He had the world:
Watches that cost a neighborhood's salary,
Hotel rooms where even the silence seems golden,
Women who laughed loudly, too loudly, as if to cover the void.
But one evening, in the midst of this luxury, he returned home.
The house was huge.
But too quiet.
The kind of calm that reminds you that you no longer have anyone to tell about your day.
He thought of her.
The only one who saw her flaws
the one who worried about him,
The one who didn't ask him for trips, but just wanted a little time.
The one who listened even to his silences, the one who knew when he was in trouble just by the way he closed the door. The one who deciphered his hidden words even without saying them.
more…
He had lost her.
Geznah.S | The Silence Reader
Not because someone else had taken it.
But because he hadn't looked at her as she withered beside him.
He was chasing the world...
While she wondered if he was finally going to see her.
She left without shouting.
And today, Edgar knows:
No matter how wealthy a man is…
When a sincere woman departs, no wealth can replace her.

Chapter 2: The Power of Time
There are moments in life that draw an invisible line between before and after.
Moments so rare, so powerful, that they forever change our view of the world.
When a man holds his child for the very first time...
He's seen babies, heard the word "congratulations" a thousand times, but nothing can prepare him for this moment. He looks at this little bundle of joy in his arms a fragile being, a brand-new life and realizes, "Finally, I'm a dad."
It's an awakening. A rebirth.
Geznah.S | The Silence Reader suspended.
And above all, an awareness: time has made this miracle possible.
Everything he has experienced so far, all the paths, all the mistakes... have led him to this moment.
A link has been formed between the past and the future. And this link has only one name: now.

She carried him for nine months. She felt every movement, every little kick, every change of desire, taste, feeling. The baby in her belly, the one she was waiting for, the one she loved even before she knew him.
A mixture of fear, love, pride, silence. fed him, protected him.
It was you, the little one, she was waiting for. The miracle of birth is also hers. She carried it,
And when the baby is finally in her arms, she understands that all this time, all this waiting, all this sacrifice, was for this unique moment.
She looks at her child and says to herself: "There, it's you, the little being I've waited for so long."
Another bond was formed, that of a mother and her child, a bond that time has carved into Geznah.S | The Silence Reader
For the mother, this moment takes another form. l’invisible.

Their time on earth was too short.
The time they had was not enough to experience the moments they had hoped for.
Do you know how lucky you are to have some time today?
But time…
Time doesn't only give gifts.
He also resumes.
One day, someone we love is there. They talk to us, they laugh, they exist.
And the next day, she is nothing but a void.
His last message is read as a testament.
We keep our perfume on a pillow.
His voice can still be heard in an empty room.
And the heart screams: "Why now? Why so fast?"
We thought we had time.
One last dinner. A call. An “I love you” that we were saving for later.
But sometimes, later doesn't exist.
And when time stands still, it's not silence we hear. It's regret.

Chapter 3 What if tomorrow doesn't exist?
Geznah.S | The Silence Reader
We live in the illusion of time. An illusion that reassures us, that allows us to
push away our dreams, our fears, our desires, as if time would grant us more opportunities. We often say: "I'll do it tomorrow", "There's still time". But what about
do we really know?
How many times have we made this promise to ourselves, thinking that one day, in the distant future, we would have the chance to change everything? To fix everything? What if tomorrow never existed?
Chapter 5: Time Loses Its Meaning
Geznah.S | The Silence Reader
Malik had always been certain he had all the time in the world. At university, he spent his days lounging around, pushing back deadlines, putting off until tomorrow what he could do today. He had the luxury of being young, of believing that the future was a promise, a promise

“We always think we have time, Malik. But we never know when that time ends. That's why we must live every moment as if it were our last.”
Months passed, and Malik continued to live with the idea that time was running out. He kept putting off his plans, his ambitions. He thought he still had years ahead of him, that he could always start all over again. But one day, reality caught up with him.

He was 27 when he lost his job. The company's decision was simple: reorganize, downsize, and choose those who had been able to adapt. Malik had been negligent.

One day, in a small local cafe, Malik met Amira. She was unlike any girl he'd ever met. There was something in her eyes, a depth, a piercing gaze that seemed to defy eternity.

As the years passed, Thomas grew increasingly distant from Sophie and their two children. He hadn't even noticed that the little things in life, like a family dinner or a simple evening at home, had disappeared from their daily lives. Sophie, the woman he loved, had felt neglected. She had often tried to remind him how important he was
Then one day, he received a call he wasn't ready for. Sophie had been diagnosed with a serious illness. It was too late to realize he hadn't given enough time to the woman he loved. The treatments were difficult, and the time they had shared had dwindled. Sophie died shortly after.
He found himself alone, facing reality. He hadn't had time. He had lost irreplaceable moments with the person he loved most. Work, promotions, professional successes... All of it no longer made sense, now that he was faced with the loss of
But Malik's story wasn't unique. It mirrored the lives of thousands of others, those who live under the illusion that they can have it all, achieve it all, and do it all. the love of his life.
A month later, Thomas stood before Sophie's grave, his eyes filled with tears, bitterly regretting that he had never listened.
