She
is called Shema and she is from Egypt. Her parents are known
but their original family was in Lebanon. And it was for others
to speculate about and then gave her a self fulfilling prophecy
that is very important member of the society as such, everybody
used to tell her this fact which was not a fact at all it
was only a narration that is suitable for nice talk and she
enjoyed this kind of talk because it was not true or real
in any way possible. Her former husband was a true soldier
who died away for his country in the war. He passed away very
proud of his country but his wife enjoyed this beyond recognition
here. It was left for his wife who talked about him in brief
endlessly in a small gathering of acquaintances. As if he
was alive constantly. And for that matter she gave high regards
to whoever talks about her husband hero and moreover she could
attract many listeners to her narration of such a Hero. Her
narration accompanied with high respect for everything her
Hero went through.
Shema
was above all very appreciated of this talk about her husband
and kept this memory alive throughout her life as if nothing
had occurred. She even said of the times and the nights she
slept with him and how she enjoyed these moments of love in
a sense at whatever a passing love because she loves him very
truly whether he was away or close to her. Shema kept with
her precious memories of her hero husband because he gave
her everything she wanted and above all a certain kind of
pleasure that was difficult of her to ignore in one way or
another. For she devoted her life to her husband hero whether
he was alive or to some other people dead.
