Get-together

Sun seems to be rising fast today behind that abandoned house across the street. The morning is alive with anticipation. It is a new year day and soon the house will fill with loved ones, aunts, uncles, cousins and those who you don't know much about but they seem to know you very well. I am enjoying last few minutes of entire swing to myself and grandmother is preparing tea in a big vessel. Grandfather seems to be in good mood outside in drawing room; he is talking with someone in English and his forceful interjections are very new and awe-inspiring to my little ears.

Soon the house will ring with harmonious laughters and frolics of shared ancestry. Similar faces and exquisite cloths. Why that aunt cuddles me so hard? Why that uncle always scares me first and why that cousin fights with me all the time? I don't know, but I like them all. I like each and everyone of them in unique ways and they all love me very much.
