“Mulki’s parents struggled throughout their marriage but their love for one another overcame all the hardships they faced from poverty, displacement, and loss....[Mulki] wanted a husband whose love of faith aligned with her own, and that would be the essence that nurtured their love.”
I. Farah, The Dig Up

“And no stone or diamond could be as precious as the treasure I was gifted with yesterday.”
I. Farah, The Dig Up

“[Bashe] found it easier to swallow all of the hardship he faced growing up, this pent up anguish became a well-disciplined beast, that was never meant to see the light of day or be dealt with in any capacity whatsoever.”
I. Farah, The Dig Up

“Mulki being the dreamer that she was latched herself onto this unassuming mentorship and had begun her graduate studies with high hopes of one day becoming an archaeologist of her own and leading Somali based exploration team to uncover the lost history of her country of origin.”

“[Bashe] found it easier to swallow all of the hardship he faced growing up, this pent up anguish became a well-disciplined beast, that was never meant to see the light of day or be dealt with in any capacity whatsoever.”

“She had a peculiar prettiness, a kind of captivation, that was evanescent, and took a second glance to be adequately detected. But once found the beholder knew they had discovered a rare treasure.”
I. Farah, The Dig Up
tags: somali

“The mere saying of her name, made something flicker in Bashe’s chest. He could hardly identify what that spark was, but it always emerged when he thought of Mulki. It had ignited, the moment he had set his eyes on that aspiring archeologist. This unfamiliar feeling was something he couldn’t entirely comprehend or capture with description. But one thing he did know for certain was the unwavering magnetic pull he felt towards her.”
