Hamidah,

Painful, and yet exquisite. What you have is a descriptive gift, but the plainness, the simplicity – do you work on it consciously? And is it experience? Or is it simply your imagination at work? To tell you the truth, its not the theme that obsessed me so much, but the way you wrote about it. The way you so beautifully put down what really happened in action - the simplicity with which you have symbolized such powerful emotions.

Thanks for sharing it with us.
