The Whirlwind

Mrs. Tarochang smiled, "I don't know, but I feel relieved now. My heart feels a joy now. I don't know why we came to that church, but like I told you this morning, there was a certain urge in my heart to go there. I am glad that you accompanied me." She moved her hand and touched her daughters hand and gently squeezed it. "I feel sorry for Samen too. I also feel that he is quite a toxic person. I wonder how that beautiful girl could fall in love with him, I am sure that their relationship would not last not because she or Samen is a bad person. The saddest part is that even Samen does not love himself, just like your brother Temensang," Mrs. Tarochang sighed deeply. "This generation of young men, most of them don't know how to love others or to love themselves. Our land is slowly turning into a well manicured garden with lots of beautiful flowers but no trees; the trees are all dying young."
