My Mother and Homeland (Episode 2A)
Nature, Silence, Memory Awakening –
Standing by the edge of the pond, Ethan fixed his gaze ahead in silence. The morning sun had just begun to spread its gentle light, casting a golden glow over the surrounding trees. The branches swayed softly, as if whispering in calm harmony with nature.
What a peaceful scene… Slowly, the quiet beauty of the moment began to ease the heavy pain buried deep inside him.
Suddenly, a few weaver birds chirped and flew away from their nests. Ethan’s eyes drifted toward the old palm tree standing at the northwest corner of the pond—still there, as if guarding a silent witness to a terrible scene from the past.
Just beside that tree lay their ancestral cremation ground. And there, in eternal rest, was his beloved father. A deep ache filled Ethan’s chest. Memories began to surface—
A modest household, struggling with financial hardship, yet filled with an unexplainable warmth and peace. Whenever his father returned home from the distant shop, there would be a glow of quiet joy on his face. That joy brought comfort and hope to young Ethan. But after a few days, everything would change again — A shadow would fall over his father’s expression, His mother would grow silent and distant. As a child, Ethan never understood why. Whenever he asked, his father would simply smile, pull him close, and shower him with affection. In this way, drifting through waves of joy and sorrow, before Ethan could even finish school — his father was gone.
