Imagining the beautiful clean and green city as trees and flowers are everywhere like a beautiful garden, a celestial place to be. It because of him I had found my homeland a place I had started loving it. At this hour of time, he would be just finished his dinner and short nap. At this hour, he would be going back to his work and performing his best part; culinary skills.
A chef my love is. I could imagine all the delicious food that he will be able to make, all the magic that I will never know how to do. Since young, my mother had taken great care of me, which I didn't need to step into the kitchen. Hence, I admired more of his best performance in the kitchen that I will never be able to make it.
Would he laugh how silly I was thinking that he would need to eat burnt food from me if I ever had to cook something?
I could count that in which he will laugh and pat at my head giving me his comfort saying; “It’s okay. We can think of others or I will cook for you."
I sat with my family and cousins at the airport, waiting for our turn to board the plane back to Singapore. It's eleven at night and this time I did make sure I would know how many more hours I need to be in that plane before I would be reaching my homeland.
Excitement grew as I hopped around, doing crazy stuffs and even playing the water dispenser like a little kid would do. My brother would follow my silliness and join in the fun with me. He's just like me and he knows what his sister loves. We always love one another's company because we would be silly for each other.
I can't imagine how nice it would be to have him as my younger brother even though I had to take great care of my brother. I would want to share this to him, telling him how my brother is and hoping he would love my brother's company as well. I want him to be happy just like I was. I dreaded so much every time when he would send me to my doorstep, hoping one day he wouldn't need to stand just outside looking at me before my gates would close behind him. I hoped that he would be warmly welcome into my house and share the laughter and silliness my family always gave it to me. It would be nice but not for now, the prejudice from my parents of his citizenship is impossible for this to happen anytime now.
He's not Singaporean, a Malaysian. We are holding an international love even better than the locals. He joked before of how this two country are heads on with one another but the people loves each other deeply like the difference is not there to be. Governments are silly in a way but I guess they have to in order to keep things going on the right track.
Whatever... I've got him here and that is what it would matters.
I crouched onto the seat with my brother again whom was seating at my left side. We put on the headphones, listening to our music as our eyes are shut for a rest. It's tiring since we didn't have a proper bed to rest on. I looked at the watch again and smiled.
Two in the midnight. It's soon.
I hugged the little pillow in my arms and fall into a deep sleep. Remembering the moment when I open my eyes again to the difference of the atmosphere, I smiled in satisfaction of my dreams. I guessed I did dream of him but I couldn't recall any. It's okay that I couldn't because not long within an hour, I would be on the ground and I can text him telling my returns.
I wondered, what would he do at this hour? He should be sleeping soundly. Did he miss me like I am? Is he waiting for me to return?
I hugged my phone tightly to me as I see the screen that was blank. It will be soon turned on and my fingers could press off the words for him. He will soon see my message coming and smile happily.
I'm certain he will be glad to see my message.
The plane dived down the ground as I feel the gravitational force on it. It's strong and shaking with terror, like an omen of an upcoming accident could happen. Yes, it's a natural thing to feel that but at that point I was terrified. I hoped this would never happen. At least, let me return and see him before taking my life away if it had to.
Let me see him first.
I shut my eyes tightly, resting in tense before the plane finally was running on the ground as it glided through for the lot it will be parking in. The plane stopped, lights on and everyone was standing up packing their things. My eyes scanned through every face as I see their urge of leaving this plane as much I want to. My parents were at my right side busy checking if they left anything behind. Well, as for my brother, he's always not bothered with anything around. I chuckled at his actions as he still seating on the seat lazily. He had always been different from the common and it is natural for him to be like now.
What would he do if he were here with me? Will he be just my brother did? A different person from the rest?
He would be. He will always be that special person inside me. I stood up, pushing through the crowds as we made our way through and finally getting ourselves to the exit. Not long, my family and I had managed to get our luggage and headed to the taxi stand.
I had finished sending off my message before I helped them out to get the big and bulky luggage into the cabin. It's because I am finally here that I will be able to find him anytime that I want which I finally could say, 'Yes, I miss him a lot.' to myself.
[Morning dear, I just landed on grounds and I'll be soon returning home with my parents for a good sleep. It is six in the morning and I guess you must be sleeping soundly in your bed. Do you miss me? Am I in your dreams? I love you.]
