Melinda's POV
Ever since I was ten,my love of collecting stamps had become visible. It was rather an amateur and not kind of a profession for me.But it's following my life throughout to be a simple job of mine.
"Are there any new stamps after I came last week?", I ask the woman who is the stamp maker of the post office after a long and breathtaking queue wait."No, not at all, Melinda. ", she answers. Though I was not listening to her and was observing every bit of the pictures hung up in this historical post office. 'BEING A FAT CAT IS NOT THE BEST WAY FOR YOUR PROFESSION TO GROW.REDDAY WAS LOYAL IN THIS PARTICULAR JOB AND RAISED RELENTLESS EFFORTS IN HIS LIFE. IT TURNED OUT VAIN THOUGH.' One of the photos had this written on it with a quite handsome but outdated man wearing a tuxedo.Probably one of the best shots he owned in his lifetime. His face was not wrinkled at all but I couldn't help but prejudge that he is about the age of my late grandpa.He should have kicked the bucket or else left this profession for good I thought.It was stuck to my mind with the picture of the man above it.Obviously an outrageous philatelist.After a moment of mine, I turned around to hear the woman say, "What happened, Melinda? "."Uh-just nothing! ", I whisper in a frightened tone and thanked her turning around to walk back home. I packed my tiny bag and held it tightly with my feelings at the zenith.
*****************
The vacation had already started and me and my sis had decided to set off for a picnic this morning. "Breakfast is ready, twins!!", mom shouted as if she was an army general. Well, my mom is rather a qualified vet and she is the main character especially in our family, like in most families.We both woke up and looked into the soul of our eyes each other. Anyone could detect and tell that we haven't met our sleep for long. The only place I had to encounter was my laptop till the end of dead night and Miranda was set on the idiot box.Mom had already walked out of the room and we run out of the rooms racing for the toilet.I run into it and slammed the door behind. "Mel, I am gonna make you regret getting into the toilet if you don't move it!!", Miranda hollered. "I won't ever regret it if I move it after using the toilet!!", I yell back.When I open the door she was resting her head on the wall beside the door her eyeballs rolling mysteriously. "You dolt.", she says and nudges me on the shoulder. I smile at her thinking it would hopefully calm her.I drove my way to the dining room.
"Hey Mel, I have missed you girls this past week.", Andy says while placing a chunk of food in his mouth. He visits us every weekend since he is a college student.He usually spends his time in the dormitory. He is also such a glutton though he doesn't use it to charge up his body. "Well,bro am fine and happy to see you again. ", I say."Thanks, my sis." he smiles back as I take the seat next to his. "So, how is school really going on? I am longing to see you your top score again! ", mom asks. "Um-oh, school, school, school, it's going better. ", Andy replies promptly while Miranda entered the room and sat beside mom."What do you mean by 'better'??", mom asked again throwing a ball of corn flakes into her mouth. "I mean that am paying off my hard work and gaining an 'A+' grade. "That's my boy!!", mom exclaimed. Miranda then continued,"Mom, me and Mel are going out for a picnic, what do you think of that? ".Mom then replied"Let's see, ummmmm yeah you girls can go because am gonna have a good day off for rest but this is possible if not much friends are coming along with you!!", mom exclaimed. "Fine, fine mom you know me and Mel would never step out of your rules and ofcourse your cerebrum has this stuck to it right? ", mom replies."Stop your mocking and jocking or else you will lose your bite on the cherry!!".I then turn around and whisper to my brother, "Do you have activities to do today? ". "No I don't, do you need anything? ", he whispers back."What is it that you guys are hiding? ", Miranda asks."It's so funny that you find it annoying but it includes plans about you!!"."It's just a play, take it light girl.", Andy adds."Now could you drive us to the picnic place?", I say talking loudly.Miranda kept glaring.
