My romantic aunt

Author's name: Najm Wali

My romantic aunt. I don't know if it was one of the men who passed through her life, or one of her close friends, who gave her that name, or if it was her herself, as she wrote at the bottom of a piece of paper she would leave for me in an old box that originally belonged to my grandmother. Regardless of what adjectives would be attached to her name and throughout her life: kind, beautiful, and... crazy, these adjectives came later, years later. But before that, there was only that "romantic" adjective, which came to light one day I no longer remember and lack the ability to put a date on. All I know is that since someone said it, that adjective has been associated with her alone. I don't remember ever hearing a conversation about her without her romantic adjective being mentioned; an adjective that has become like her distinctive trademark. Sometimes I think; Perhaps my grandmother was the one who gave it that name. My grandmother must have heard that word spoken by one of the characters in the movies or TV series that she was addicted to watching those days, especially during the war (which war?).
