Arjun
It is when you don’t have those little things in life and your life is cruising between thiings massive and larger-than-life itself, that you realize the importance those little things had in your life.
I am in Mumbai from past one week, I am bound to miss my family. But to my own big surprise, its Arjun that I miss the most. The way he looked at me while I was leaving, wanting to say lots. Those brows coming together in sad, probably curious expressions. I wondered if he ever understood what it meant to stay away from home.
May be not. After all, he’s new in the family as well. Oh he would have completely forgotten me in a day or two. And I haven’t been the kindest to him anyway. I adore him, no doubt. But I have been the strictest on him for his own sweet self. I know he would never understand that. And for the same reason, he would forget me, if I am not seen at home for 3 days together.
But I miss him. Probably more than my family. The way he used to cuddle next to me, make me run all around the place, mess things and then give a killer innocent look, and peering at me with those large brown eyes.
I miss you, Arjun. I hope you do too.
