A Heart Blemish

A Heart Blemish

Add to favorites

       Sometimes, good persons may leave without any goodbye. Life does not give the chance to all people in order to say the words they want to the ones they love and care about. It is really true that life is shorter than we can imagine. So all we have to do is to hug the ones we love and to say "I love you" to them because nice words do not have a special occasion. Nice words are free and should be said at any time. When beloved people leave the world, they remain inside of souls and hearts.Indeed, they leave a kind of blemish on the heart.

      Once upon a time, there was a pretty woman called Safia, a mother of three boys and a girl. Her husband was in an endless love with her. In fact, Safia was a housewife who only wanted to raise her children in good conditions and to take care of her beloved husband. Safia was the most adorable woman in the whole family. Everyone loves her and respects her because she does the same with all people and even her neighbours.

       A year after Safia gave birth to her fourth child; she started feeling a kind of pain in her body. Her husband took her to the doctor in order to know what she is suffering from. Unfortunately, most of the doctors could not really know what is wrong with her pain as they could not find the right part that makes that huge pain. Safia was totally disappointed and hopeless thinking of her children and husband. She thought that she would pass away and no one would look after them. All her friends, brothers and sisters were sad because they could not even imagine life without her. She was ready to listen to them at any time and she used to try very hard to find solutions to their problems and to put an end to their desperations. Hours then days then months of pain.

      The doctors had finally discovered the illness of Safia, and unfortunately was cancer. They said that she got the last symptoms of that illness and she would not be able to live more. Days after, Safia was dead and all she left is a heart blemish.

Dear Mohamеd,
I really appreciate your joining our Storytelling contest. You wrote a very moving story, which made my heart cry for Sofia. I hope her body will rest in peace, and her soul would be in heaven. She will also live in the memories of her near and dear.
It would be nice to know what happened to her children, especially the youngest one. I hope they are all fine.
The metaphoric picture you have uploaded gives us the right mood. Well done!
You are awarded second place, and as I promised, I will mail the prize to you.
I would also like to give you a chance to present your story in the form of a video at the party.
