Today I realized what it’s like when you shout at the one who loves u the most. A small incident this evening has kept my mind ticking. I was seated with my lil cousin Aalia who was jumping n running all over the place. All happy n cheerful she kept me entertained n brought a short stint of joy to my life at a moment when I’m on a low. Anyway moving along as she jumped n called out sha sha (which is my name according to her) in her sweet voice. I was watching her come towards me n I held my hands out for here but she went straight for my tea cup n voila my lil magician emptied it out. My precious evening tea… my split reaction was to shout n that’s exactly what I did. Silence prevailed as she stood there with her head down. She went to my mom who picked her up n the next thing that I saw melted my heart. She had one lip down n was moments away from crying. The one she loved the most just shouted at her. The one she calls out too a million times a day. The one she asks for when she first wakes up. The one she gives kisses n hugs at any given time of the day or night. I just hugged her tightly. In an instant she forgave me. I know I wouldn’t be able to do that in a million years. But it has made me realize a lot, thanks to my lil magician :-)
