SOMEONE TURNS 12!
Today is my youngest brother’s birthday. Adik turns 12! Adik is very special to me and the rest of my family. The day he arrived, I was home for summer holiday. I took care of him for the whole three months. He brought joy to all of us. We had always wanted a new sibling, so you can imagine the attention he was getting the moment he arrived. I bathed and fed him, changed his diapers, put him to sleep. There were many pictures of him as a toddler. I keep a few of my favourites; Adik in a pail, naked and laughing. The other was of him with frangipani on each side of his ears and my favourite (much to his dismay nowadays!) was of him smiling on my bed after I put on some eye shadow, pink blusher and mascara onto his face!
When Adik was younger, I would turn to him for some ego booster. As far as he’s concerned, his kaklong is the prettiest, the smartest the nicest and everything la! There was a time, while we were watching a Hindi movie, he suddenly turned around and said the actress looked like me. MWAHAHAHA!!! Adik thinks Kajol looks like me!!! The kaklong, of course, became very perasan for a bit.
Adik loves football and he supports Liverpool. It helps the fact that my other brother, Pi and Mr. husband are ardent Liverpool fans as well. I know Adik’s favourite player is Steven Gerrard. Once I asked him about a Chelsea player. He said he didn’t know much because “If he’s not playing for Liverpool, then he’s not important.” Hahaha! O-K…
I can be quite a stern Kaklong or appears to be stern. Most of the time, this kaklong cuma acah-acah marah aje. Nowadays, mak’s standard line when Adik is pulling one of his pranks is “Mak hantar duduk dengan kaklong, baru Adik tau!” He hates it when mak says that, though I think it’s more because he’s mommy’s boy and cannot live without mak rather than anything else. Nevertheless, his face would be the first one I see at the door to greet me whenever I’m home. He would sms when Liverpool is about to play or when he wants to know whether I’ll be going home anytime soon.
I love my Adik to bits. I love all my adik-adik for that matter.
Happy birthday Adik.
