MISSING HOME.
“Usually when complete silence evolve as afternoon
sink, I find myself into those big room expecting ‘huge dead log’ on the bed and when I couldn't see anything, I land up
missing both of you terribly”
Just a day ago I got a call from my goddess(mom) and usually when ever she ring me, the first thing
she would never forget to question me is
‘Hope you’re not sick?’ and upon hearing me ‘sound, fine and perfect’ In sigh
of huge relieve she would thank me so much with love and kiss for staying fine
and strong. You know, since from the day when I was admitted to ICU in my
second year due to severe dengue fever, she always stay with heavy load of tension
and worries about my health even if I am an adult now. Sometime I feel terribly
sorry for my mom for always giving a trouble instead of helping her as I grow
up.
Quite of a long duration we’re in long conversation about
home, my studies and normal routines and in middle of conversation unable to
hold, in tears she told me, “ Cheychey,usually
when complete silence evolve as afternoon sink, I find myself into those big
room expecting both of you like ‘huge dead log’ on the bed and when I could see
anything, I land up missing you both” and to my realization It was exactly 2 pm in
the evening when my dad left for office, when my younger brother go to school
right after lunch and when she is all alone at home. I didn’t know how to react, I didn’t know how
to answer, I was blank and frozen yet with waters in my eye flooding.
Sometime’s what I hate the most is, no matter how much I love, no matter how
much I care,no matter how much my mom is special to me I don’t know how to let my feeling come in
words and make her feel good.
Following after a minute of silence she told me, “don’t
worry alright? actually I was in your room and suddenly when I expected you and brother like a dead log on the bed and when I
couldn’t see both of you, I couldn't
hold back then calling both of you” and
at last with soft laugh, she whispered ‘What to do? This is your mommy, who loves
both of you that I sometimes can’t
digest the absence of you guys’ and she hanged the call telling me to stay
strong, healthy and finally teasing me with my girl as always.
Lately i started missing home and my mom so much that sometime's i land up in tears and especially this days, it has been hard times at night, where no matter how much i try to sleep i couldn't and i don't know where my sleeps has fled, and this hard times make me miss my home terribly, because no matter how much i sleep, i still would fall to sleep peacefully till the late evening like mom said "shing tomang"(dead log) and my exhausted body is in need of quiet a long holiday and moreover, i am just saddened with a truth that there is no much time for me to spend time at home happily with mom and dad, as i will graduate soon which closes down my vacation and as time has drawn closer and so near to be one responsible and a grown up man. Time indeed has moved so fast...
Ocean as an ink, sky as paper, still i would find too less for my words for how much i miss my home and my parent's.
