Sisterhood is a heavenly thing to experience and I'm blessed to have that chance. I got a sister with whom I can truly share anything. Because of her non- judgemental personality, I find peace to rely on her at any point, and maybe she finds it in me too.
But to me, tikly is everything. She is my living personal assistant. From getting suggestions on which dress to choose to career-changing decisions, she is always there, no matter what. She get the knock first to review my draft or make any changes to my painting. Now the fun fact is she is five years younger than me but still, as she knows me the most, and all the time, she gets the first priority in giving advice!
Still being siblings, our characteristics, behavior, and features almost all are bipolar. I'm a bit of an extrovert, emotional and impulsive, on the other hand, she is an introvert, sensible and rational decision-maker. And it helps both for us, as she guides me to think logically, control emotions, holds my back when I sneak outside, console me in my most vulnerable situation. Besides, I always try to be on board to fulfill her demands, argue with parents from choosing her dream subjects, to manage the permission for tours. My high-pitched cheer is always there for her standup comedy to perform the classical dance. In one line, we are incomplete without each other.
I don't know what will happen after 5 or 6 years. Maybe we'll be in different countries, and maybe it'll be hard to see each other once a year, but you'll always be there in my heart. Maybe I won't be there to record your dancing videos, taste all your mouth-watering recipes, listen to your exhausting day-long program in the sleeping time, or enjoy songs from your phone while sticking in the traffic jam but I'll always be one phone call away.
Maybe it will be a little difficult for us making adjustments to a whole different environment, maybe I won't be always there to help you out, but when you'll feel low, remember those silly childhood memories that we had, like chorusing that lichuchor poem, duet dancing in mama khala's wedding, keeping a movie on the watchlist for months just to watch together, roaming boimela, and enriching our personal library, quarreling over one book whose to read first, always taking your seat in dining table, talking in 3x speed while dining to avoid baba's interruptions, practicing karaoke out of our lungs, twinning dresses and even shoes for every occasion, giving a quick round in deshidosh for Eid dress, laughing hearts off for dosshu's boldami. Man! there are thousands of memories like these that will bring us smiles even if we are a thousand miles apart. Ah, wish I could be with you like this for the rest of my life! But it's alright. I'm always grateful to Allah for sending you as my little sis. You're the most precious gift that I can ever have.
I'm sorry, sometimes taking you for granted, letting you suffer things for my stupidity, where nothing was your fault, but still, your unconditional love was always there to hold me back. No matter what happened, I found you there, right beside me and I know you'll be clingy like this in the future too, and lift me up with your chandler talk. You know, those sarcasms in a mournful situation really work for me! I think this is what sisterhood should look like!
Lastly, how old you grow, you'll always be that two years old chubby cutie pie to me. Happy birthday sis! Live your dreams and take an awkward hug from me!
