She did not Leave

Part Four

We grown up , passing the period of adolescence in vain for Sofia, not as normal for me.

Sofia fought the hardships. She lost her father at the age of 16, he died by a brain cancer, and  she had to work to feed her family. I helped her for school only to see her succeeded and enters college . Sofia never gave up on her writings, the high values on life is are Sofia's writing, and determination is herself.

We entered college, and each one studied his favorite specialty due to the hard work and confidence. Even we we wee not studying at same faculties, but we kept seeing each other and helping each other. In so many situations, Sofia stand by my side like a man. And the moments of happiness, together, they seemed  endless.

Sofia did not want to marry, I knew that the excuses given were just random justifications to run away from reality. I married when I was 22 years old with a humbled lovely man. She confessed  after about her rejection, and I endured her rejection. She told me that she couldn't win the love of the first man in her life, her father, so she couldn't find love in any other person. Or I may say in distance , she loved her father but she did not live this innocent , pure love.

Sofia stand in my weeding as if it was hers. I remembered how she cried a lot after separation. I understood how much she suffered and how much she handled. And I was the only person who stand with her.

Sofia always, even in the middle of suffering, she desired to see all people happy and worked hard to draw a smile in every face. I felt this handedness when I saw her how she used to deal with hear little family. Every person should love his family ,but Sofia's love was an exception, she sacrificed almost all a normal can sacrifice, to see her family living a good life, specially that she had only her mother and two brothers.

Life continued, I brought a child and at the same year Sofia brought her first child also : her first book was published. Sofia's reputation evolved; it was very positive and dominant. Sofia achieved her dreams and could finally provide a good life for her little brothers and sick mother.

Memories stopped running when Adam called me to get out of the car. Adam brought me to the cemetery. He told me that I did not  visit the grave of Sofia, so he had to bring me to see it at least for once in life. I was about to weep tears. I did not want to visit it, or did not have the courage to visit it because the burden is to heavy for such situation. Yet, I followed him and we reached the place; Adam told me that I have to cheer up so Sofia will cheer up too, I looked at him for seconds and again I went back to see the name in the grave. It was my best friend name written over there. The friend of my life, I was not dreaming. Sofia died, I thought she would come back but no, she did not.

I stared at Adam and here the color of his face changed, and so his intonation did when he claimed : Mother we still have other place to go we do not have time,so come on.
