Haroda, she lives in the woods. Far from the corruption of this world in the peaceful existence of her lakeside home. There her heart runs pure and free like the currents on that clear lake.

I saw her only recently. She invited me to the bank to share a pot of tea with her. The tea was spiced with herbs. I found its taste disagreeable. But Haroda's company makes everything okay.

I'm thinking about that now, I mean her company. I wonder if she has a someone to talk to now or a place to go when she's bored. Haroda said she's never bored. I'm not saying that's a life. I only know we all need to talk to someone sometimes.

And sometimes I feel like Haroda is gradually becoming like the trees around her. Broad, free and green. It's autumn now, those leaves are turning yellow and falling off trees. I don't want Haroda to fall off.

I wonder if she still thinks about it. I'm talking about the betrayal and self exile. I was not there but I've heard rumors. But I know Haroda.

I have to go back soon. Haroda is a strong woman with a deep source of strength and hope. But even the best lakes need life to stay alive. I worry that she would hurt herself or fall sick and there would be no one to watch over her.

Haroda, the grandmother I'm forbidden to visit. No one can forbid me to love you. Our love is as clear and deep as the silent currents under that lake
