The Voice


‘walanghiya!’  
The room resounded with the Mayumi’s strong voice. The word, ‘shameless’ in Tagalog, reached all of us. Everyone was in silence trying to sympathize with the Filipino woman. By listening to that in their language, the reading became real. She was not in the book anymore, but who was the vivid one shouting in front of us. Indeed, everyone was thinking about this very seriously until Mitsumi repeated this word.
