Along, Pak Teh eldest son came with his fiancé yesterday. He got to report duty at JKPTG today. We chatted on everything and mostly about the happier past and the crisis plaguing our big family now. The children are ok with each other but the parents are the one who created all the fuss.
Luckily my parents, even though affected too but they don’t want the silaturrahim to cut off over silly matters. I’m so proud and respect Abah mostly over this thing coz Mak, she got fragile heart like me too so Abah is the one who keep coaxing and advising Mak. We’re still family after all, right.
This morning, I asked Nadia, Mak Ngah daughter who work in NRE to come down and meet Along. They didn’t meet each other for more than 10 years; due to a crisis by both their parents. And when Along went for the registration briefing, Nadia and me continued expressing our disappointment over what happened during the weekend. They too felt disappointed with those who didn’t make it on that day. And adding salt to the wound is when no one cares to at least call and didn’t pick up the phone when Mak Ngah and family called them. How long would this silent treatment/cold war would last?
Seems like every one sulked towards each other over some matters that actually can be solved right away. There seems to be lacked off communications in our big family. That’s why I feel that we all have to gather back like we used to do and it’ll be the best platform to voice out anything and everything. Sometimes things are not like what we think it is. It’s a mere misunderstanding that when we ignore it, it’ll hurt and deepen over time.
But who am I to talk this sense into them? Sigh…
