Slice Of Life #10 - The Vast Distance Between Realization & Easter

Today around 7:00 AM, I woke to see my littlest sister laying down on the wooden floor, staring at the ceiling. She was strangely amused and quiet for once. I jumped off my bunk bed and grabbed her attention. Like mice, we sneaked to the living room, trying not to wake my other sister and father. My mother was already at work. It was too early to play dollies and we were exhausted; well I was, she was a little sleepy. Usually in the weekends, I tend to wake up at around 9 - 10 AM, If I'm not needed. I turned on the TV and putted on my favorite Bollywood movie, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

          Mummy usually leaves around 5 - 6 AM, the time my littlest sister wakes up. Which means she’s usually unsupervised for about one hour. My little sister takes care of littlest. A couple hours later, when everyone else was awake, we went to play outside with my neighbors. I and my friend sat on a table eating chocolates and gummies. I tuned to look at a basket filled with colourful eggs. It was the moment of obliviousness. There were so much signs telling me that today was special! I was absolutely clueless. Until about 5:00 PM, when mother arrived, she handed me a sugar cookie and said, “It’s Easter Day.” I had no idea.

         Oh well, happy Easter.

Always and forever, Natalie Nicole A.
