Rare Reunion
Born to an Indian family is indeed a tough luck. Dwelling with all my cousins as a result of a joined-family does have its own benefits and lost. One thing is for sure; you become overly attached to your cousins and siblings, as a result of spending most of your time with them. You tend to be stronger in all aspects, only if you have people that support you. You will emulate to be like your loved ones. You will look up to them as your role model. Then, you will be ingenious, resourceful, and keen in all senses.
But what happens if people you are attached to depart from you ? The aloofness you experience will surely aggravate you from your daily obligations. You tend to be weak and all the jobs you will do seems to be futile. Tough luck, as I said, and sure enough, I'm facing it.
My brother, currently studying at UTT Australian Technology College, is not here. My sister, currently at China with her new married groom, is also not here. I grew nostalgic, missing their presence and the recreation we also do together. Where ever I look, memories would rush in, penetrating my mind to its very core, making it impossible to escape.
So it comes, the annually reunion of my family in celebration of the Mother's Day celebration, without the people I love to spend time to. A true lachrymose time that jerked my tears whenever I think about. It was incomplete, lonesome, irascible to me. Isolated from the old people, I tend to be a pariah of the night, without a single bit of enjoyment tasted. I only pray that they would come back soon.... I could only hope....
