coming out
(knock,knock,knock) me!
(knock,knock,knock) me!
(knock,knock,knock) me!
Did you just knock like Sheldon?
i did
Why are you here?
because we have to talk
I don’t walk to
why okay! let it be
(crickets chirping)
Ok ok why are you here?
you tell me. why are you here?
You know why we are here? I fell into the lake twice and nearly drowned. That lanky guy pulled me out and handled to Uncle six fingers. He took me to Dad and then to Imelda. She bashed me while giving me a bath. I was grounded for an hour and pesky cousins came to say — Oh, you should not have done that! I leave the room to meet leena and then I go out only to be chased by everyone back home.
i remember that day — stepping into the water to pick out lotuses. what a day it was!
You laugh about it but I feel so ugly that everyone laughed at what I did. You don’t know what I feel.
i do better than you. you think this is end of the world.
Yes, it is. I don’t want to make dad sad and Imelda to scream at me.
uh-huhh
You did not do that. How are you so calm?
because i was there where you are
Really? Does it get better?
it does and it doesn’t
Huh? What does that mean?
that means we all have a share of burden that only we can work it out
You know that you are confusing me a lot
i know but you will come out of it too
How can you be optimistic about this? Because I am sinking down more at what I have
you know what optimism is but not what realism is about. i think realistically because i should be ready for whatever life teaches me to do next.
I think we all do. You are not-
the only one? you were about to say that. well, listen to me. i know better than you because the position you are in now is where I was and I fought my way for what I want and what I need.
Really? What are they?
there are good and not so good stuff. i will start with option two
Why bad stuff?!
because it is necessary to listen to that and it is not all bad stuff
Fine!
god, I sound very bratty at your time
Shut up!
(giggles) well, i am too trust worthy, lonesome and attention seeking. ooh, also selfish!
(Surprised) What?! Isn’t that bad???
according to me, they make me weak. i trust people too much thinking that i want to help them. there are many that have treated me weird which is why i become lonely. that’s why i try to seek the attention from people!
No no, Imelda is the bad part!
she is the best part!
What?
she scolds you because she wants you to be ready with the toughness of the world. she hits you because she is showing you that people will be more rough than she is. she is making you read for the world!
isn’t she the one who was tired of your tantrums to buy bajji and chocolates from the medical shop?
isn’t she the one who sneaked cable for you at days when “daddy” was not there?
isn’t she the one who got you stuff like the kiddy Disney books and barbie dolls?
isn’t she the one who believes you in despite all the mistakes you make?
I never thought this
ok ok i am sorry….. there are better things you will have
Like?
the truth that “daddy” is the TYRANT
a talent you have to cherish
people who will support you
and
friends whom you are close to…. you still need to find a best friend because it will take time
But what about Nid-
SHE’S A BITCH!
Ok! Who will be my best friend now?
hi(waving hand)
Hi
ready to step out?
Yes but I am-
me too. come on. we will get churros and chocolate ganache from taco bell
Okiee
oh by the way, you like boys and girls
Is that possible?!
and you will drink and eat chicken a lot
What?!
