I used to tease.....A Chapter by JessyJacob🌸 Back to Those Days 🌸 By Jessy Jacob My cousins"my elder aunty’s sons, They’d fight, they’d run, they’d laugh in the sun. Ten years younger, wild and free, I played the elder, teasing gently. They’d hide behind their moms in fear, I’d hug them close, draw them near. Like a girlfriend in a playful game, Touching hearts without a name. At three years old, so small, so sweet, Their tiny feet, their giggles fleet. We’d joke of love, of boy and girl, In innocent joy, our world would swirl. Each year the gods would call us home, Festivals where no one felt alone. Red sarees, dad’s old specs, Cousins draped in silken flecks. The house would bloom with laughter loud, Family gathered, proud and proud. But I flew far, across the sea, And silence fell where joy used to be. Now I’m married, and I still wait" Can’t we bring back that old state? I ask my love, how long this war? When will peace unlock the door? I dream of days when mom would shine, In crimson cloth, so pure, divine. Dad with glasses, calm and wise, Cousins dancing under festive skies. But now we chase a fleeting glow, Overshow beauty, forget what we know. Let’s be who we were, not what we pose" For forward lies just blood and bones. My rough draft, My cousins, my elder aunty sons, They used to fight, and run, have fun Because those were 10 yrs younger to me, I took advantage of me being elder to just hurt him mildly, As they hide back behind mom, I feel like their girl friend, and touch them and hug them Then when they were at age 3yrs. It was so much fun to tease kids with a relation of girl friend and boy
friend. Kids of age 3yrs below, looks so cute, so my cousins too. We used to have god festival, gathering every once a year, evevryone of our
family used to come And it was such happiness and fond of family, I went to USA and all gatherings stopped and we were never together. Now I am married, I am waiting cant we make such fun I asked my husband, How many long days, to stop this war and have our family back in those days,
Where mom wore red saree, and dad with his glasses, and all cousing busy in
decorating with different sarees….. Jessy Jacon
I think overshowing our beauty, and just be what we were few years back, as there
is nothing forward, just blood and bones…. © 2025 JessyJacobReviews
