All was silent again. Only the rhythm of the rain could be heard. It was too quiet for her to break such silence. Even though the car had already gone far far away, she still stared in that direction. Her stare seemed to point out the place where the car was. With its disappearance, she deeply felt herself as completely abandoned, like an enormous grassland that had been covered with rubbish by trucks overnight. The greenness of hope was destroyed! The silence became unbearable! Only the presence of her two sons reminded her of what she could really have. And this gave her great comfort, more than she needed, even if tomorrow the whole world might have collapsed in her sleep.
