Come rain & shine, catastrophe or bliss, family stick together. Such a unique unit, how they bind and wrapped together.
And why am I talking about family?
Many of you might not know this, my family functions very weirdly. We're the losers in saying "I Love You" or "I'm Sorry" (ok shai, maybe your family can share the same trophy). But still, we stick together. We can fight like today's the end of the world and the next day, we simply catcall each other 'bodoh' and laughed about it. No matter how big the arguments & misunderstandings, we attach together.
For example, I was furious my dad didn't take the courtesy to buy me an advance ticket to KL today and landed me a tix at 10.30 am. Imagine, I arrived last Friday at 10 pm and I need to wake early on Saturday for that S*PA test and God knows that will take all day. Which left me few quality times at home. Upon hearing my reply of, "Kak Yong xnak balik pagi2 la Ayah. Penat tau", the dead silence tone on my handphone is clearly the sign of my father being pissed off at me.
The good thing is, I didn't sulk or being sarcastic as I always be (see, I told that certain person, I've grown up) and my Father talked to me back first thing in the morning. And we can simply talk like normal father-daughter as if nothing happened (which of course I said my sorry, xmo jd anak derhaka). See, that's a family.
And all these while, I always thought and assume that person is my family. Yes, I was right. But I was never that person's family. Although the whole of that person's family including uncle, aunts and org kampung had known me, I'm STILL NOT A FAMILY. Although I had been angry, mad, broken hearted, devastated, lack of trust and sad; I forgive that person. Because family forgive each other. Family can't be mad at each other for that long. Family laugh at mistakes that we assume was big at that moment but turned out to be ridiculously silly later. We laugh, accept, forgive & forget because we are family.
So, what's the point having a relationship with a person who doesn't think you dearly as family?
