Jasmine's Alienation

Author's name: Dr. Khawla Hamdi

When they first discussed travel, her mother Fatima spoke with a certain philosophical tone. She spoke to her about the jasmine plant, which she had named. Like jasmine, she had raised her to be content and satisfied with little. It is a plant that doesn't require much care. A single fertilization every spring, along with moist soil but not overwatering, is sufficient. All jasmine species prefer a sunny location, but can tolerate some shade.

Like jasmine, she had raised her to be content and satisfied with little. It is a plant that doesn't require much care. A single fertilization every spring, along with moist soil but not overwatering, is sufficient. All jasmine species prefer a sunny location but can tolerate some shade. The Tunisian sun was conducive to her maturing and shaping her personality, and she was ready to endure some of the shade of Europe's cold climate. Like the white Mediterranean jasmine, she was delicate in appearance, but her personality was strong and steadfast, like the pungent, unique scent of jasmine, which exudes a sense of warmth unmatched by other flowers. She didn't mention the romantic significance of jasmine, which Yasmine had searched for since becoming interested in the meanings of flowers in her early teens. She knew that giving a jasmine flower to a woman meant, "Why don't you ever love?" Her father had given her, Yasmine, to her mother. It was his last gift to her when he relinquished custody of her following their divorce. And she "never loved again." She was worthy of receiving a jasmine flower. She missed her mother more every day. As time passed, she became increasingly certain of being lost without her. She knew that living abroad was not an easy experience, yet she agreed to her travel. I taught her how to be a real jasmine. But perhaps she overlooked a bitter truth. The jasmine flower quickly withers when it leaves its soil and is arranged in a beautiful, fragrant form.
