Life which is a bed of roses for one seems not to be a bit rose-colored for another.
My name is Sel and according to family labels, I was the nitpicker among my parents’ children. The early years of my life were lived with the unrelatable parents I was delivered to. I was just 15 when my home tore apart despite us sharing one roof as a family.
Actually, I do not choose to bore you with the sad part of my story but maybe, you could eventually pick something amusing in my being.
Earlier, I started with ‘unrelatable parents’ because mum’s desires were never our necessities. Dad’s disciplinary action was high but not helpful!
Each of the four children of my parents had different rooms and that helped our gap. Everyone had their space and we only understood what family is when it was time to work or eat. Sometimes, I wondered if dad’s home design was not accurate because he got me a room where I ended up building an inner world(unseen).
Sel bursts into wild laughter and then speaks.
Mum’s expressions to every one of my actions flashed in. And seriously, it’s been the longest talk I heard my mum say, which is ‘Tor a fi suuru (let’s exercise patience)’All of the times when she says that, I just conclude within myself that I was the child she uses in learning patience but when will mom end this patience class? It was taking too long and I needed her words.Those questions were just an addition to the previous ones that accumulated in my thoughts.(Sighs).
As regular teenagers, My siblings and I attended a school very close to our street. It was one of the best in the society and the beauties I eavesdropped on fellow students in the school did not impress me. It was not striking at all. A lot of reasons you would think got me blinded but with the little I know, I am quite sure the partner I found in my inner world never signed in for a separation. The attachment we had was so tight that it became noticeable to everyone.
I’ve got something juicy though different from all the grumpy information about who I am everywhere. And I could share that with you the next time on storytelling.
