Al-Bassa, small Palestinian Village. Lebanese border is so near from here.Ahmad Abu Ataya is very busy.But this busyness is normal.Today is his grand daughter Enaya’s birthday.Now she is 6.Everywhere there is festive mood. Enaya’s elder sister ‘Esnaad’ and her mother ‘Fatima’ has decorated her .Standing in front of the mirror,Enaya says to Esnaad,“Oh!I`m looking like an angel!” Hearing this from her lovely little sister Esnaad replies, “Angel will always look like Angel!Oh my dearest little sister, we love you so much”Being so happy, Enaya gives a hug to Esnaad. Their mother was standing beside them, her eyes were getting wet.

Ahmad is arranging a big function. He is monitoring all the arrangement of the function taking Enaya on his shoulder.
“Grandpa, why nobody is giving me gifts?”
“Oh my dear Enaya,look, your Rehman grandpa has sent this for you.He is sick that`s why he will not come”
Ahmad slowly gives a square green box toward his grand daughter.Enaya’s eyes become bright.That’s her favorite gift –an Arabian Pot Plant. Enaya loves plants a lot. Her mind gets refreshed by ‘Green’. Most Probably Enaya has got this from her father Sufiyan .He loved plants,He loved life. When Enaya was 4,his father was dead during a Palestinian terrorist warfare. Enaya,Esnaad don’t know about these stuffs so much they only know that they have to live!

Ahmad was sitting with his daughter and grand daughters. Enaya’s main interest was at the gift-the pot plant.
Drinking water has finished. Ahmad takes a pitcher and goes out for taking water.Long miles to go! When Ahmad was going out, Enaya said, “Grandpa before going please give a name for my lovely plant”
Smilingly Ahmad said, “ Alhaya(life)”
Enaya also smiled .It clearly indicates that “perfect!”

Black smoke, weiling of pain, bombshells are scattered everywhere.The water pot breaks out by falling.Ahmad goes inside his house shouting “Enaya! Esnaad! Fatima! no one gives reply. Many bodies are lying here and there. No Life! All are dead! Splotchy blood on the wall. Ahmad goes on the second floor -a little body is lying down holding a broaken pot, splited body!
Ahmad fails to control himself, cries out loudly looking at the sky.Black night doesn’t answers, waiting for the morning!
5.
There is no one alive in Ahmad’s family. Still his own life has no assurance to live! Ahmad was thinking about to do something. Suddenly he remembered about the plant pot which Enaya was holding. Those bombs are taking life daily, why not to dispose those bombs and use those shells in a different way? Let’s convert Life taking material to start a new life!

Ahmad collects blasted bomb shells or raw bombs from the battle ground everyday. Then he brings to his house and disposes those. Sometimes He misses Enaya. His plantation gets more speeded with full interest. Bombshells get filled up with soil, Ahmad puts there seeds. In one early morning, sprouted plants reminds Ahmad that Enaya is alive!

Ahmad gifts these bombshell plants to his neighbors. He writes “Enaya” on every plant pots. Suddenly An Arabic musical starts, “Farih Al Haya,Farih Alhaya”- Joy of life, joy of life!
