Relative Calm
"Relative Calm" is how the UN sometimes describes the Blue Line in the Middle East.
Farizah can scream harder than Azmina. And just how loud is Azmina's cry? Our old neighbours once registered their concern to the building's management, asking them to look into the regular midnight screams that went on for 2-3 hours at a time. Fearing possible child abuse, they got one of the staff to inquire about the matter as I was just leaving the main elevators one morning for work. I said, "My daughter have difficulty sleeping", while trying to mold my face to say, "You don't know anything about difficult babies!!!". Yes, it had drained every ounce of my remaining energy to even think of a clever answer.
Back to Farizah. This was taken back in 28 November. It was 3:48 p.m. Fed? Check! Burped? Check! Diaper change? Check! Ambient temperature? International Ideal Temperature for Fussy Babies +/- 0.01 degrees!! Luck of a billion-dollar lottery winner who lived to be a hundred years old after leading a fulfilled life without a single sad day beside his hot wife? Check!
Relative calm. Whatever mistakes that I felt that I have made. Whatever disappointments that might have filled the rest of the 23 hours and 58 minutes of the day. This wills me to go on. This is my drug.
