Happiness Looked Good On Them

[HAWI]

Hawi took a moment to stare at Farida, the woman who always gave her and her brother free ice cream when they were young, and the same woman who had fed them ice cream in the night when they came from the operations hours and endless meetings.

She looked normal, almost like nothing had happened and while Hawi hadn't been expecting this to be real, she loved that this was a part of the normal life she had once had. She loved that Farida was a constant in her life.

"Is she okay?" Farida asked as she looked at the girl she had watched grow. Granted, she wasn't a royal in Sicario and didn't have that much power, but Farida had seen Hawi at her happiest and at her saddest.

She had been there through the different phases of life for Hawi and she had been supportive of her too. This particular ice cream stall wasn't just a stall of Hawi. It was the reminder of what hope felt like and she was at a loss for words.
