Damascus
Will Fall
A Story Beyond the Novel
The Fall of Damascus
N. Madera Aguilar
Excerpt:
A day after the visit of an unexpected visitor
8
Did the visit bother you?
No not at all. By the way, it seems the visit of
drowsiness to you seems to have been delayed this
time. You werent able to take a nap all day?
Yes, a strange thing, indeed. Maybe, my mind is
working extra hard and it induces the vigilance in me.
Aah, the past runs back to me and its sweeping me
off my feet.
She didnt speak but he knew she was expecting a
further statement from him.
So he went on. You said the visit didnt cause
a disturbance on you. But youve been less talkative
today.
You, too.
Yes, I must admit he brought some facets for
realization.
What do you mean?
Did you regret coming back to me?
How could you say that?
I cant see you clearly but I can sense a lot of
supervening vibrations since yesterday.
What?
He didnt make love to you did he?
Noo!
I believe you. I can sense it. Even though we
werent together for a long time.
You shouldnt entertain backsliding thoughts.
I told you I have faith in you. And even if you did
make love to each other, it wouldnt matter to me
now. Nor would have it mattered then.

I know our taking of you was wrong.

9
And no amount of rightfulness Id ever done
could have straightened the crookedness that resulted
from it.
Its over now and theres no use for regrets.
Time doesnt allow retakes for our previous actions.
I would not hold you if you decide to go with
him. If you believe being with him is all that matters,
then proceed. I will not take it against you.
Stop it

Other works
Other works of fiction from Narma Books dealing
with Mideast are the following:
The Last Traces of Hope is now available both as
print and e-book. It is a novel about the Mideast
turmoil and how it affected the lives of those who
11
were trapped in the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. A
ship manned by Filipino crew members was docked
in the international port of Kuwait on August 2, 1990
when the incursion transpired. This book tells what
happened when the vessel was about to sail and after
it did.
The novel is available in print at
www.createspace.com/3621484 and as an e-book at
www.smashwords.com. It is also available in Kindle
version at https://kdp.amazon.com.
Harvest of Sand tells us of a turmoil in the
Middle East and how foreign lives were affected. It is
an account of events which transpired in the Middle
East in 1990 spawned by Iraqs incursion into
Kuwait. On August 2, 1990 in Kuwait City, it was
getting late but Brian Rios, a deputy employment and
welfare attach assigned at the Philippine Embassy
there, knew he was facing a sleepless night. More
people would be arriving and would be joining the
multitude of those who were already jostled in the
embassy premises. The succeeding scenes were
unnerving.
The story is included in the authors collection of
his other works of fiction, Fiction Assemblage,
made up of a novella and four short stories which are
available either in print or in e-book format.
