The little things.
________________________________________________________________
It has only been a day but the change is obvious.
The tube of toothpaste was exactly the way i left it. The indentation left by my thumb and forefinger was still deep.
After the shower, i dried myself clean. As per my usual habit, i turned to my right to hang the towel. Both the first and second poles of the towel rack was empty. We always used to fight for the first front rack cause the second one was too troublesome. Now, both racks are mine.
The bathroom tiles are clean, no long strands of fallen hair for us to argue over who they belong to.
The contact lense solution ran out. There was no arguing over whose turn it was to stock up this time round. I just quietly went to the store and got a new bottle.
The doormat was empty when i got home. There wasn't the usual pair of ridiculously high nine west.
The room next door is empty, the bed is empty, the usually bursting full wardrobe is only half full.
Then, she came home.
We had dinner and the usual bickering and then she volunteered to do the dishes. As usual there was the bitching about work and her in-laws.
And then it was time to go.
We said our goodbyes, mom told them to drive safe. She stood near the door playing around with the umbrella, looking at the ceiling, looking at the sofa, looking at them lamps. Just lingering. Then i saw that her eyes were wet and red, big fat tears threathening to roll over its rims.
Then the big drops fell. The parents laughed at their little girl, teasing her for being such a kid, told her she's welcomed back home anytime.
There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
