Childhood Times
I am a daughter with 3 siblings, the Eldest sister then the elder sister, and a brother and I am the youngest of all. From the day I was born, I was kinda close to my elder sister named Masha. She used to take care of me while my parents went out to their jobs while my siblings used to do their studies and house chores.
At the time when I wasn’t born yet, Masha was the wildest child in our house and she wasn’t good at studies. She used to shout to her parents from the streets and always wanted to play out with her so-called friends who weren’t even able to keep her secrets from mom. Whenever mom used to cook food for her school lunch box, she throw the food into the garbage trunk of the school. She used to eat chalks and even pencil shavings and my mom get to know everything from her friends.
One day, When my family was walking late at night in the streets to buy ice cream for all of them, Masha, because of the dark, fall into the gutter but my father was just behind her so he was able to keep a hold on her as fast as he could and she was saved. My family rushed towards the house and mom made her bath in warm water for hours. When I heard this story I literally burst into laughing, well it was terrifying too.
When I was born, Masha used to take care of me as she loved me. She used to change my pooped, drastically smelly diapers, bath me, change me into some good clothes, comb my little spikes and fill my eyes and mark a circle on my little forehead with black kajal(Kohl). This routine was the same for her until I was able to do the stuff by myself. The most tiring thing for her was to make me sleep as I took a long time to sleep. Usually, while making me sleep, she herself used to sleep before me.
Years went by and I turned 5, at that time we moved from Winchester to London as my father got a job there with still a low amount of salary, not enough for all of us but at least he got a job after getting fired from a lot of factories he used to work in because of his gambling habit and indulging other workers in it making them inefficient at their work and lose all the money they bet.
We bought a small apartment for us to live our happy life. I was so excited to join my new school and meet new friends. Most Importantly I was excited to learn new things but because of my age, no school was allowing me to get admission to Montessori so luckily the apartment opposite us was running a home school for kids and I was enrolled in it.
I made lots of new friends and did a lot of naughty things with my friends in order to make our teacher angry. Whenever there was free time I sneaked to the window of the apartment and shout my sister's name, Masha until she shows up in our apartment window and wave to each other. Every time my teacher finds out, she drags me from there to the classroom but never got scolded.
One year passed and I did learn all the stuff to get admission to Kindergarten level 2. I earned so many rewards in my homeschool for my performance and achieved enough confidence to join a new actual school. After being given lots of admission tests in different schools, I finally got admission to a well-known school. Fees were high for us but the cast we belong to helps poor kids to get an education by providing scholarships and as the years goes by I was completing my O'levels.
While I was doing well in my life, My relationship with Masha was taking a downfall a long time ago.
