When a young boy’s grandmother walks on, he wonders where she’s gone.
Did she go to the market to buy ripe melons? Or maybe she’s in the garden, watering her herbs?
It feels like she’s somewhere far away, so the boy finds news ways to share stories about his day, hoping she can hear him.
Even her house feels like it’s waiting for her return. Then as the boy approaches the kitchen, the scent and memories of her cooking assure him that no matter where she is, her love will always be close by.
