Here it is-
Today
is the Summer Solstice, I'm moving into adulthood and still don't have any
answers to the questions revolving around my head since I was a toddler. While
I sat in front of the Victorian mirror on my white dressing table, trying to
detangle my curly, frizzy and unruly hair, I came across thinking as to why I haven't
got the answers to my questions yet or even if I was supposed to get the
answers to my unanswered questions.
Making
a low knock on the solid white bedroom door came in my cousin who was my best
ever friend since my childhood, followed by my Uncle whom hand was always on my
head since I was living with them. Although it was a bright day I wondered as
to why Uncle had a gloomy face.
"Today
is a very special day for you my child. I'm afraid you will have to be patient
for my gift" I didn't really pay much attention to Uncle James's words
because they made very less sense to me. What could be a gift for which I
would have to be patient for? I thought in my head. I looked over at my
cousin and raised my eyebrows,
"Even
I'm not aware of Dad's present. I wish you a very, very Happy Birthday and may all
your wishes and dreams come alive" he added with a big smile on his face
and winked although I didn't understand what the wink was for.
Nevertheless,
I left my blue, king-sized bed and hopped out of my messy room, skipping down
the stairs with everyone in my way smiling and wishing me a good day. I was
followed by Uncle James and Cousin Peter, who were both wearing formal gray and
black tuxedos, respectively. I was wearing my morning clothes; a white tank top
with washed blue rolled-from-the-bottom jeans ripped at the knees. I wasn't dressed
in a gown since there was a lot of time left for my birthday celebrations to
get started and everybody was too busy in making preparation for the party, to
even glance at my casual clothes.
I
was served my favorite breakfast; crunchy oats with berries of all sorts as
topping, covered with maple syrup. Only Uncle James and Peter were present at
the spacious table which could bear up to 14 people each at a seat. Uncle sat
on the chair I called the directors-chair while Peter and me occupied the
assistant-directors-chair. I glanced at Uncles and Peters plate and all I could
see was the boring everyday breakfast, omelette with baguettes cut into halves
diagonally. I always changed my eatables depending on my mood; I wondered how
they could eat that and also every single day.
"Any
special plans you've made with any of you mates at college?" Before I
could answer Peter's question, I was interrupted by Uncle,
"Peter!
Use proper terms instead of informal" Peter corrected himself, asking me
if I've got any plans made for my birthday with my close companions at college.
"No.
I've decided to spend this special day with my only family at home. However
I've asked Emily to accompany me to shop for my birthday gown and she will pop
in after a while" I replied in a very smooth but firm tone. I glanced at
Uncle and Peter for their response and they both nodded in agreement.
Although
we were 'The Royals Family' Peter was very much like me; a happy-go-lucky
person, who shared same interests as me and was free with his mind and people.
On the other hand Uncle James was the strict man of the house, who wants to
have the perfect family in town with people following his rules, but because I
was his princess he lets me go against the rules and do whatever I want without
any objections.
After
breakfast, I went back upstairs, sat on my bed and reminisced about my past
although every memory I had were all blurred. I didn't want to ruin this day
thinking about my childhood, so I decided to call Emily to ask when she will
arrive but she was busy on another call. To pass my time I decided to spend my
time reading a book. Unfortunately, that didn't work either so it turned out I
was taken towards my past. As I sat on my bed with a tie-dyed pillow on my lap,
my past came to me like an agitated wave.
Hope u guys like it!
