Wet roof: rejecting Hamza's request, slandering Fatima and installing window glass

Fatemeh sat beneath the steady sound of water dripping from the ceiling. The rain had stopped, but her worries had not. Every drop felt heavier than the last, echoing the weight in her heart. She waited for Hamzeh—waiting not only for help, but for reassurance that she was not alone in this struggle.

When Hamzeh finally arrived, he didn’t bring a real solution—only plastic sheets, a symbol of helplessness rather than neglect. Soon after, his mother arrived. Hamzeh asked for waterproof insulation, hoping to end the problem once and for all, but his mother’s response was cold: “Money first.” There was no money, only silence thicker than the rain itself.

Frustrated and hurt by Hamzeh’s absence, Fatemeh spoke up—words that angered the grandmother. She scolded Fatemeh harshly, accusing her of lying. That accusation soaked Fatemeh’s soul more deeply than the leaking roof ever could.

After the grandmother left, the house fell quiet again. Without a word, Hamzeh installed the plastic sheets—a temporary fix for a much deeper problem. The roof calmed for a while, but Fatemeh’s heart continued to leak under the weight of misunderstanding, poverty, and emotional neglect.
