Wish I could turn back time
[To my dear past,
Its already been two years ever since I started writing to you. I couldn't believe how impulsive the days are running, as there's only a week left for the new year. Even though there are lots of pages left on my previous diary, I'm starting this anew hoping for a change in life....
There's nothing special about today. The time is past eight, but we're not even ready for dinner. Just minutes ago, Aunt laren came in to give dad a helping hand.
About the weather, its quite windy at night and right now people are in merry outside, I could hear them talking aloud about what they had for dinner tonight.
As you've taught me, I'm still maintaining my mannerism towards the neighbors as well as the inmates, but still there's something they'all complain me for, which I can't figure out still.
I don't know why I can't fit in in this place ever since we moved here, but Neily is now one among velptons.
She got loads of friends, unbelievably jovial with the neighbors at velk, good at school, and even found her early-potential just being at twelve.
But still, I liked it more when we stayed at grandma's abode.
Its like she'd become the head of the family, from choosing menu for breakfast to customising our closets. Its frustrating to look at her grow up all of a sudden, but dad's too happy for her to get someone who could help him though dust and pins.
To be frank, I've always been a disappointment to him. Eventhough I can understand him, it's not my mistake as I can't just push myself into something I can't do.
I'm sure you'd felt happy to see Neily being helpful to dad in many ways, being younger than me.
Same as last year, things are difficult at school for me, since all are looking at me as if an alien except very few.
I'm still not sure about the FLAIR, I would fit in.
It's just that I don't even get symptoms, like how others got signs in the early stages.
Dad's too worried about me especially our family's future. He never changed mom! When I was a kid it was about his colleagues he nags about soon after returning home from work.
Now, its me...!!!
I'm always at center of attention in this home. Whatever bad happens, if he was angry, frustrated or annoyed at something or if things disappoints him, he'll vent out any of his emotions on me.
Don't worry! Not on my face, but he'll began to whine or complaint all day long concluding ot was all my fault.
These days I've been reminded of you a lot often, which makes me wanna turn back time.
Doing so, I'll get back my happiest days staying at your comfort.
Wish something as if exist, so that I don't feel lonely and void, inspite of having a family near.]
....
The view of healthy young lad on his desk reflected on the opposite wall, whose body blocked thee bright yellow light from the table lamp.
The room looked fancy not stuffed with furnitures, inducing a typical view of youngsters room but neat and organized.
" Ah! Dad is starting again!", Stevex dropped his silver tipped pen on the middle and closed the diary soon after getting started.
He sneaked through the door and got a grasp of his father having juvenile in his hand, checking it back and forth for the latest news.
Velptons loved the idea of taking their kids success to others ears, which was the reason behind velptons craze over publicity, issuing weekly magazine in the name of Juvenile that showcases any youngsters recent accomplishments.
Mr. Gerfelex Veneson, was similar to any other fathers getting worked up by looking at the achievements of the youngsters, who were of his son's age, thereby critizing all of his son's behaviours and studies so far.
Not all fathers of Velptons were as if, but still it became the main reason for children for hesitating to approach their parents, since comparison would be the infinite end.
Sighing at his father's rash actions, Stevex returned back to hs vinyl table opposite to the window, which had a small shelf organised to the wall above it.
His hands went staright to the lamp mounted on the table, where he pressed the small button on and off, the reason behind the reflection of flicker that literally disturbed the people near.
" SteveX and Neily! Dinner's ready! Come down!", their aunt laura called on them from the living area, while the kids were given rooms at the top floor.
The family then had their dinner, which could never be that peaceful without their aunt, Laren.
It seemed like few people were seen on the streets talking in groups which they used to do until they feel sleepy.
But that day, it seemed like many had stepped out in the velk street, which wasn't for their sake but to talk about someone who kept disturbing all their peace.
" Why don't we complaint this to the Association? They'll definitely take an action against this", an elderly from Garl's family said to the crowd in extreme viscocity.
Not everyone accepted his suggestion nor anyone refused it. They all gave another thought about the issue, taking a glance of that room then and there.
To their surprise, as if he heard their talk, the flicker at the room stopped all of a sudden, giving a relief to all the oldies at the street.
" I don't feel this is worth to take to the association! Whether or not for the boy, we shouldn't blow this big, for Mr. Veneson. He's a very descent friend, and it would disturb his peace if we complaint about a small issue about his son", said a good old heart of the Velk's street, Mrs. Inbor.
Her words as if magic, kind of spread angelic into everyones ears around, who literally had a change of heart dropping the idea right away.
