A DRAWING FORCE

I stepped out of the car and headed straight to my room to pack my belongings. As I gathered my essentials, I felt an inexplicable pull– a strong urge to go to Grandma Ama's room.

I hesitated for a moment, trying to shake off the feeling, but it only grew stronger. I slowly walked towards the door but it was locked. I searched around and found the key in the flower pot at the side.

I picked it up , unlocked the door and stepped inside, dropping my bag on the floor. The familiar scent of Neem filled the air, wrapping around me like a comforting embrace. Tears welled up in my eyes as memories of Grandma Ama flooded my mind.

I walked to the bed, laid down, amd pulled the duvet over me, savouring the warmth it brought. Her scent lingered on the fabric, a bittersweet reminder of the times we spent together. Grandma Ama loved neem tea, and it's fragrance always cling to her. I loved it too, a small ritual we shared that I now cherish more than ever.

After a while, I stood up and made my way to the wardrobe. I opened it slowly, and what I saw inside brought fresh tears streaming down my Face.
