(different character and frankly, harder for me to get a grasp of.)
Sitting across from my mother, I wondered how a woman with such disregard for human life could bother with the untidiness of producing offspring. A mistake she made only once, but which she must regret every time we meet.
"Your leave is denied," she said.
"It is Hajj, mother."
"And you are a commanding officer from our largest military clan."
"You of all people can hardly ignore my Nomani genes." It was the basest comment I could make.
"And so you of all people must set an example. You are Hassien. We are secular."
And so she again seeks to erase half my heritage with a wave of her hand.
Every year, I seek the holy pilgrimage, every year she denies me. Islam, to her, was a quaint remnant of our human past, not something to be actively involved in. How, one wonders, did she ever manage to stomach my imam father long enough to copulate? |
