You're Reading My Mind

Sisters

I have two sisters that are younger then me.

Sarinah, who is 7.

Simrah, who is 5.

Then there's me.

Saniya.

Our parents had all of our names starting with S's.

I remember when we moved into our new house and Simrah was just a baby.

That night when i was in the other room with Sarinah, i told her to get scissors from downstairs.

She took really long, so i went downstairs to the kitchen and asked my mum where she was.

She said she thought she was with me.

I went back to the room Simrah was sleeping in and saw that Sarinah coloured her face with dark green felt tip.

It was funny and dangerous.

Sadly we couldn't take a picture.

Sarinah, i'm really sorry.

I'm sorry for the day you Had to get your head stitched up.

My parents were out and i was on the laptop, my sisters were playing near the speakers, when one of the big speakers fell on Sarinah's head.

She cried, and all i said was "See, i told you not to play near the speakers, anyways you deserve it!"

I was so stupid, i feel like punching myself right now.

I didn't bother checking her head because i was too busy concentrating on the laptop.

Later on my dad came, Sarinah is daddy's girl.

She told him everything.

When my dad checked her head, it was filled with dried blood coming out.

I felt really guilty.

I was stupid.

Dumb.

We had to take her to the hospital and waited there until it was midnight.

The doctor said her head was bleeding, so they stitched it up.

I'm really sorry sis, i really cant believe i was so dumb then.

She was only 4.

Next, it's Simrah's turn.

She was born with  problems in her eyes.

But she's not blind.

Just cross-eyed when she takes off her glasses.

She Even has asthma.

It's scary to see her in hospital with the oxygen thing in her mouth.

Me and my mum get really scared.

I even remember when this stupid boy punched her up for no reason.

She had bruises all over her tummy.

And guess what?

She was only 4.

After all she's  mummy's girl.

And Me.

I'm a nobody.
