Returning Hom

 Maria had long left her hometown, not knowing that time would eventually bring her back. She had left with big dreams and hopes for a better life, searching for a place where she could build a career and a future. But with each passing year, the thought of the village where she had grown up, her parents, and childhood friends, haunted her more and more.

After many years of city life, where she had settled into a modest career in education, Maria felt that something was missing. No matter how successful she had been in her career, learning and working to give her students a better life, her village, with its small houses and narrow streets, always remained in her heart. That place had left its mark on her being, shaping her personality, dreams, and principles.
