February 21, 2021: Relatives

All the while busy studying for her midterm examinations, Syn was leisurely humming a melody. It was the classical piece closest to her mother's heart. The woman would use it as a lullaby for her sons who had a hard time falling asleep. 

To be specific, the name of the classical piece was Kinderszenen, Op. 15: No. 7, Traumerei by Robert Schumann. The piece would always give Syn a sense of being back at home with her mother and brothers. The feeling of nostalgia would rush to her heart, making her yearn for the old times even more. 

Cooking breakfast for the younger ones; cleaning up the mess they created during their playtime, listening to their endless complaints; those were some of the things that Syn missed doing. If she were to choose, she would rather spend her time unproductively with her brothers than earn money to pay the debt. 

However, one's ideal life would usually be attained in exchange for a great sacrifice.
