‘At last, I finally arrived. It feels great, doesn’t it?’ I asked myself. It was a fine day, sun smiling bright with all its might and clouds nowhere to be seen. ‘Uhm, but where’s aunt Lusy? She said that she would pick me up.’ I looked for her while removing my shades to have a better view. I took out my phone to just check on her when I heard the familiar voice of my aunt Lusy

“Hey…aren’t you my lil’ Marina?” she asked with a smile. She looked little old with a few wrinkles under her eyes. Although it looks if she had put on some weight, but still looked quite beautiful with her lovely blue orbs and that as usual pretty smile.

I ran and hugged her. “Oh aunt, I missed you so much” I said.

She returned the hug “Missed you too…Long time, chubby”

I just broke the hug because of her last word ‘chubby’. I narrowed my eyes at her on which her smile only grew bigger…

I protested “I’m not chubby anymore aunt,” I said slowly lowering my head “so you can’t call me that moniker”

She chuckled “Okay, okay lets go home now, Suzanne is waiting eagerly for you.”

I smiled to myself remembering my cousin, Suzy. She’s two years older than me and a bubbly person. We were very close from the time we were kids. And I still can’t believe that I’m here for her wedding. I have a lot to hear from her and I’ll make sure I get to know the whole story. Umm… actually I must say I’ll HAVE to hear the whole story even if I’m not interested, but in this case I was really excited to hear from her, even though that’s not the case every time.

Many random thoughts crossed my mind as I looked through the window on the way home. I am so happy to be back here after all this time. I tried to figure out a few things and places I had seen as a kid… but I found there were a few changes, not much really, since the last time I have been here. I was ten when I last visited Aunt Lusy and her family. She’s my mother’s older sister and I usually came here as a kid to spend my vacations with them, as I was the only child of my parents and so was Suzy. I had lots of fun and unforgettable memories with them.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when the car came to a halt and Aunt Lusy said happily, “We are home.” I stepped out of the car, taking a short notice of my surroundings. Aunt helped me with my luggage and together we went inside.

As we stepped inside the house, I started to study the house with surprise to find how little had changed in these past ten years… almost everything was the same except a few changes here and there. I turned around examining everything when a pair of hands covered my eyes and someone cheerfully said, almost damaging my ear drums just like a little girl who just got a new doll to play with,

 “Guess who?” my eyes rolled automatically, of course who else would do that, except the one and only ‘Suzy’? She used to do that every time and I guess she always will, then how does she expect that I wouldn’t know that it was her. And to top it all she used her ‘Steven voice’ which I’m sure could’ve been heard all through the neighbourhood.

I tilted my head and pretended to think. With a smile I said, “Suzy, it’s obviously you. Is there anyone other than you who could damage my ears?” I grinned as I said this.
