Steemit Challenge s28wk2 : Remembering Through Healing
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
This is @sohag10 from #Bangladesh.
The fire in the hair was dying, the air in the kitchen was dying and it seemed that the cook had stopped to put his hand on the lid of the pot in the kitchen. This is where mother used to stand. She used to cook food for us standing here. The salt in the food was a little less, mother's voice seemed to ring in her ears. Suddenly, Tin quickly turned his head and saw that no one was there. Only an old calendar was moving.
Tina sighed, I know mother you always say things like this, she whispered. Her anger was deepening, it was as if your house was breathing very slowly. She entered her mother's room and saw how the bed was arranged as before. There was still a light smell of the used shaban on the pillow.

She sat by the bed for some time.
I have been trying all the time, mother, Tina suddenly said. She could not hold back the words. Sometimes she still felt weak and sometimes she felt alone. Whenever her mother spoke, her eyes would get wet.
Tears rolled down her eyes.
Suddenly, something fell from the cupboard to the ground. Tina was startled and slowly picked it up, she saw an old notebook. Dirty cover, broken spiral.Her mother's handwriting seemed to still be visible on that notebook.
Opening the notebook, the first page read, For Tina when she breaks down. Tina's face lit up. There were small words on the page,
Today Tina was quiet, maybe she was in pain. I never lose patience but I love her very much. Tina will think I didn't understand, but in fact I understand the picture.
After a while, Dinah's crying stopped because of the cover-cutting and flipping. This was the first time Dinah's pain was changing. The last page was written -
If you read this, you will know - even if I leave, you are not alone, you will learn to live, you will learn to forgive people and yourself.
He hugged it to his chest and was silent for some time. Tonight he would talk to his mother but not in tears, quietly without tears, very calmly.
When he woke up in the morning, he opened the window for the first time and all the light entered the room. Before leaving, he did not put the notebook in the drawer, he took it with him.
Because then he understood that he had not lost his words. He is still inside my memory. It is as if Tina has trapped him in the memory. He is part of Tina's healing.
