I still remember the day I went back to my hometown to celebrate Chinese New Year. I was sixteen then. And I found out that there was a family I didn't quite recognize mingling together with my relatives. Initially, I thought they were just another bunch of friends my aunt had invited. Then I realized something startling- the lady's face looked almost alike to my aunt. I asked my mum about it, but she shushed me. Puzzled, I just kept quiet. Now that lady had three sons, and the middle son was of my age.
He was moody and sullen, and I was actually afraid of him. So I didn't talk to him. But after awhile, I hesitantly asked him if he would like to play a game of cards with me. To my surprise, he said yes. I was happy. Yeah, I had a crush on him. Which is the sad part *shrugs*
The next thing I know, when I went upstairs, I discovered all of my aunts and uncles
including the lady in my grandmother's room. And my grandmother was
crying. Bewildered, I just stood there and wondered what had happened.
It took me a few minutes to realize that the lady was actually my aunt. You see, my grandmother had to give away my aunt to a more well-to-do family 'cause her family was poor. The irony? My newfound aunt's family
knew. Only she didn't know. No one wanted to tell her. But it all came out. And suddenly I had a new aunt and uncle, and three cousins. Not to mention a whole new batch of other cousins.
Taha, as you should know by now, was soon my favourite cousin. You got it right. He was the moody and sullen boy. And yeah, my crush on him disappeared. He
is my cousin after all *laughs* But I am glad that everything was brought out on that day. If it hadn't happen, I wouldn't have had such a wonderful cousin and a wonderful aunt and uncle. And I am always grateful to everyone for finally letting my aunt know that we are really, truly, blood relatives.
And this memory is a memory I shall always treasure. For it was the day I found my blood relatives, and someone that I can finally confide with anything. My cousin, Taha.
