Amara had always loved the little garden behind her grandmother’s house. It wasn’t big, but it was full of roses, lilies, and a tall mango tree that shaded most of the yard. For years, she believed it was just a place to sit and think — until one summer afternoon, when she noticed something unusual.
Tucked beneath the old wooden bench, she found a small tin box. It was dusty, locked, and clearly forgotten. Curiosity got the better of her. With a bit of effort and an old hairpin, she pried it open. Inside lay a bundle of letters tied neatly with a faded ribbon.
The letters were addressed to her grandmother, written by a man whose name she had never heard before. The words were filled with love, dreams, and promises of a future together — a future that never happened. Her grandmother had married someone else, but these letters remained, hidden like a secret piece of her heart.
Amara sat in the garden for hours, reading each letter slowly, her heart tightening with every line. She realized that love could exist in ways that didn’t always fit into happy endings. Sometimes love was a memory, a letter, or a dream that lived quietly in the corners of someone’s soul.
When her grandmother saw Amara holding the letters, she simply smiled with misty eyes and whispered, “Every garden has stories, my dear. Some bloom, some fade, but all are part of life’s beauty.”
That day, Amara understood that the garden was not just about flowers. It was a keeper of emotions, of love once lived, and of the hidden strength carried by those who move forward despite heartbreak.Amara had always loved the little garden behind her grandmother’s house.
