*Everyone knew what I had done.* π
I guess it could have been my 3rd or 4th birthday. I'm not sure though. A day, as I remember, as slow as a sloth.
I have no idea how that day went by. But....
What I remember is the late evening.
That is when we had a visitor. A visitor who brought a chocolate for me, only for me, because that was my bday. π(That's what I understood)
I still remember I was bubbling with joy. It just reminded me that it was indeed my special day. π§ββοΈ What else could a little girl want. Right?
This visitor was my uncle, my dad's younger brother whom I used to call chachaji. He quietly gave me that chocolate, and told me "This is for you. GO eat. And don't share it with anyone"
(Now, when I look back at that, it was so regular to be told to a child, but for that little child it was as if she was on top of the world). π₯°
So, very obediently, carefully, to not be caught with that dear chocolate of mine, I went and hid on my balcony and opened that chocolate. It was totally melted, but that didn't matter.
What mattered was that it was for me. And I was special.
