A Smile Of Hope

"A smile of hope" by "Tahniat Afreen Malik"

Chapter No:1

She was a little hesitant. It was the first time she had come to such a big city. Both the weather and the people of New York are tough.

The vehicles were moving so fast that they were surprised that even if someone died, the residents of this city did not stop for anyone.

She signaled a taxi driver to stop and sat in the cab

She showed the old driver the address provided by his friend

The driver nodded and said that we will reach the desired location in half an hour

The girl rested her head on the car seat.

Love sometimes changes a person and some people are so changed that they are surprised when they look in the mirror.

The meaning of love within a person will be very wide. It is a river whose depth is different for every person.

And the girl who came to the high buildings of New York had also sunk in the depth of some such love

The taxi stopped in front of the desired location.

Like a new flower, the girl took her step on the busy street of New York. With her black heels ticking, she started climbing the stairs of the desired hotel.

She quietly came to the counter and introduced herself. The girl at the reception greeted her with a professional smile.

And handed her the key. She started climbing the stairs sadly. Her friend was on her duty and would return in the evening. She had told that she would be late. Checking the numbers in the long corridor, she entered her friend's apartment.

The apartment was empty as she thought it should be. The girl left her bag in the room and lay down on the couch

"I don't know what will happen" she said in self-talk while running her hands through her hair.

But who cares about the end result?

It was not known when she fell asleep on the couch. The evening was getting darker when her eyes suddenly opened from sleep.

For a few moments, she was lying down smiling. After a few moments, while tying her hair, she started to remove the blinds of the window. The road and the high buildings on them were touching the sky, so much light that it was supposed to be day.

She stood there for a few moments, sad and helpless

When her friend arrived, the apartment returned to its charm

I'm glad you came." The girl's friend held her hand lovingly. The girl smiled

Let's go to eat. She went to eat with her friend.

The moment she told her friend the purpose of her visit to New York, she was taken aback

"You know it's not possible," said the girl's friend

"I don't know possible and impossible but this is my destination"

The girl spoke happily.

With this satisfaction we begin the novel.

*******

Life has different colors hidden in its clothes for everyone. But one thing that is common to everyone is A smile of hope.

The cold in the England city was growing every moment and so was Mariana's worry.

Silently washing the empty cup of coffee, Mariana took a look outside the hotel kitchen.

Foreign residents were out on the streets to enjoy the cold weather

Mariana muttered impatiently

"Does the white snow have enough power to pull it out of the warm room but well!"

She turned her gaze back to the clock

It was only a few minutes before the end of her shift. She was just washing the last cup when her colleague Rosie came to take over her duties.

Mariana, the owner of white beautiful face , welcomed Rosie with a smile

"How are you Mariana" Rosie asked with a smile wearing a hotel logo shirt and grabbed the cup of hot coffee from the waiter's tray with her other hand, but he snapped.

"His bill will be deducted from your salary" Mark pointed with his finger and went out with the tray.

She laughed and turned towards Mariana. The snow-white glitter in the front wall window was proof of the severe cold

"I'm better," Mariana said,during opening the apron.

"How's Max now," Rosie asked lovingly.

Mariana rolled her eyes

"How can it be?"

"May God give him health," said Rosie, praying with her heart

"Yes! I hope God will hear the prayer."Mariana said with smile

As soon as she came out, she was greeted by a cold breeze. Placing her woolen cap on her head, she started walking step by step on the snow-covered path.

Life was not so difficult while William was alive but unfortunately William's sudden death and then Max's sudden illness

Life had become difficult for Mariana.

Walking on the snow, she was lost in her thoughts

The road started to feel too long. The tourists were enjoying the cold weather. The scenery is the same but the life is not the same for everyone who enjoys it.

She opened the brown gate and entered the house, only to be met by the old mistress of the house, Karen, in Lawich. Mariana was so tired that she wished she hadn't told me to stop, and anyway she wanted to soon. Go to Max as soon as possible. I don't know what kind of situation he will be in. A mother's heart is always a house of fears and illusions.

Stop it, girl.'' Karen's voice sounded

Mariana took a deep breath and turned back

Yes! Her tone was devoid of all emotion

"I've made a decision," Karen rolled her eyes

What a decision Mariana was surprised

"The decision that you vacate my house" she said with satisfaction

Mariana listened for a moment

but why!

"If you don't want to leave, there is one condition: three times the rent. How is it?"

"I don't agree," Mariana's voice trembled.

"Then vacate my house right now"

"How are you talking? At this time in such a heavy snowfall"

"This is not my problem. You have one hour, otherwise I will throw away your belongings myself."

Mariana held her head and sat down.

"Van Eersel is an author whose writings are admired by everyone because he writes so well that anyone who reads it becomes a fan."

Valerie reads an article from an old newspaper while feeding her old grandmother dry bread.

Van writes well, doesn't it, Grandma? Nineteen-year-old Valerie's voice sounded excited, and Grandma smiled

What have you learned from his stories my child? Grandma asked

"I learned to love every moment, hope that everything will be alright and smile

It was assured me that everything will be fine. One day our poverty will end. I will be able to study well. We will have plenty to eat. You will have medicine and everything will be fine.

Valerie looked a little sad, so grandmother held her hand

Don't be sad my baby Jesus Christ help you

Valerie smiled and walked towards the room. After a few moments she left the room, wearing her long coat and picking up her violin.

I'm walking grandma she started to go out then grandma stopped her

The snow is very heavy. Don't go today

No Grandma Valerie smiled

Snow will fall from the sky, not food, I have to earn by playing the violin on the street, but very soon when I study well and get a position, it will end playing the violin.

She was walking away with her feet on the falling snow every moment

....

"I saw this girl many years ago, when I was sixteen years old, playing the violin by the roadside, her face as bright as an angel and as innocent as a child."

John put his feelings on paper and stood up

In front of him was his clown costume

"How I became a clown is a long story, but whatever a man becomes, it is important if he is satisfied," he thought, standing up.

Dressed in different colored clothes, with clown makeup on his face, he was ready to go to the circus

A world waits to watch his show and what john used to do this show for.

The moments when bored people would smile at his actions would make his heart happy.

Love is beautiful in all forms

Smile every moment

She was still standing on the side of the road wearing a long coat with her eyes closed playing the violin. She looked so beautiful that John wanted to go to her and feel her and then put his hands on her shoulders and swing round and round.John

knew he was getting late, but he stayed

The prince stood on the roadside watching the princess dance to the tune of the violin and time passed
