Mom turns half of century today

This plan has been talked about for quite a while. Mom wanted to having some fresh air. Simply enjoying nature in one specific tourism spot situated on the other side of the island. My big brother who lives on the other island; that can be accessed by couple of hours driving and almost one-hour ferry away, came to visit, with his beautiful but old cat along for sure, as well his wife aka our sister in law. They arrived the day before. We had lunch then headed to the location. The not so lucky part of all, we were showered by rain on the way, local rain I would say. Anyway, the pregnant cat in our house still has not give birth yet, I’m getting worried and concerned about this matter. While the first child of hers, that getting bigger every day, keep receiving love from all members of the family. My sister named her pussy (yes that word is sort of possessing ambiguity here and there) but I don’t mind. I was not the one coming out with the name and having no intention to express any objection for that. I am trying so hard not to get too attached emotionally with little cat, just afraid.

Let’s go back to the rain that stopped us twice. It almost convinced us to call it a day and just going back home. But we didn’t. We continue after waiting for a little while for the rain to stopped. It turned out that my big brother and his wife became first to reached the destination. As if receiving transfusion of positivity, we moved again, slowly. The cold rain switched to the warm midday sun shine. My wet shirt and jacket showed promising progress to dry.

Long story short, we finally got there. Paying off the entry tickets and ordering the meals. It was more like a snacking because we had lunch already. Couple of portions of fried banana because that is just how easy to make us happy. Added by the coconut water as drinks. We sat on the wooden benches, under the trees that providing pretty big shades that I don’t know what it is called. Accompanied by the sound of the wave hitting back and forth and getting louder the more hours passed by. I got chance of dozing off for a while and that felt really great. We know we love mom and mom knows that too. I hope that I can somehow make mom happier and proud having me as her son. But I will turn quarter of century next month and I still have nothing settled and certain about everything in my life just yet somehow.
