1 Picture 1 Story Week #93
Hello my friends,
This is my participation in the competition”1 Picture 1 Story Week #93 orgnised by @suboohi in Steem For Pakistan
Every Wednesday morning, when the city was yawning and the streets smelled faintly of the rain that had fallen the previous night, Reena came to the café. The little place wasn't famous, it didn't serve good pastries - but it had so many stories and memories that Reena's heart was full of them.
At 58, Reena was a woman who had learned to laugh at nothing. Her silvery hair was curly, she had lived a mixed life as a widow, a mother, a dancer and then a poet and short/ long story writer, her work was innumerable. And now she lived for solitary moments like these: a cup of dark coffee, the warmth of the wooden chair beneath her and the quiet hum of the morning.
The staff at the coffee shop loved her. They didn't know all her stories, she always tipped them with a poem or joke, and left napkins with a poem or joke written on them.
Today when Reena was drinking her coffee, a beautiful and student looking girl walked up to her table. Her eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty.
"Excuse me... are you Reena ji?" she asked.
Reena put her cup down with a smile. And asked, "Am I going to be arrested or am I going to be happy?"
The girl laughed out loud at Reena's words. Then she said, "I read your book last year - "Sitare Zameen Par". It changed me." In this book you have written a lot of psychological reasons about intellectually weak children.
Reena's laughter sparkled. "Well, I wrote it to change myself. It seems there was extra magic in it."
The two talked for hours, theirs was a long conversation, the girl finally left inspired and tearful, so Reena picked up her pen and started writing on a new napkin.
And Reena wrote this sentence not for fame, not for money, but to leave a mark -
Some strange faces come to this quiet looking cafe, look inside my heart, and give me a chance to be happy. Reena signaled the waiter and asked him to pass this napkin to the strange girl.
I also want to invite here @josepha @haidee @paholags @solperez and @ulfatulrahmah

¡Holaaa amigo!🤗
Nos compartes un relato que, prácticamente se puede considerar un recordatorio o moraleja de lo importante que es sonreír y, te confieso que más de una vez me ha sucedido que, ver a alguien sonreír, me despeja del mal momento que por alguna u otra razón pude haber estado pasando.
Excelente trabajo amigo... Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica. Un fuerte abrazo💚
Thank you my dear friend,
Your lovely comments make me smile too.
Regards.
Este relato es realmente conmovedor. La descripción de Reena está tan bien lograda, que el lector también comienza a tener hacia ella un sentimiento especial. El final es mágico. Creo que un poeta siempre tiene la capacidad de hacer sonreír a través de sus escritos.
Veré si puedo participar. Saludos y suerte.
Thank you my friend,
for accepting my invitation, the smile on a person's face can bring smiles on others' faces too, everyone struggles with some trouble and sorrow, but instead of showing the sorrow inside us, we should show our smile. Maybe some sorrow can be reduced.
Regards
Estoy de acuerdo con esto.
