Earlier today my mother brought me to a tea lounge at Orchard Road, and I greatly enjoyed their Green Tea Tiramisu. Although bitter, it tasted pure.
Later today, we went to fetch my brother, who came back from SHHK's Combined Sports Meet. Yixun has got into some trouble lately, and all of which, to his accounts, are not his fault. No one in the family really believed him, for he was known for lying. Almost everyone, except for me. And somehow, I did not know what to tell him whenever he confides that 'she ask me go meet her after school, just because I picked up my eraser from the floor'; 'I'm blamed for something I don't know'; 'I was punished for holding a rubber band'; 'mom keeps on stopping me from using the phone'.
At the dinner table, he was really moody, exceptionally moody. He didn't complain today though.
"May I speak to Yixun please?"
It was his classmate.
They spoke on the phone for quite a while, and they could, since my mother was showering. When they're done, he said 'put your hands up,' while holding the cordless phone like a tommie gun. He told me to 'say that you're sorry' and sniggered.
'For whot?'
'For typing. (:'
'You typed before.'
'Ok I am sorry. Now say that you're sorry.'
'Oh Alright. I'm sorray. Awkay?'
'Very good. Now you're gonna get shot.'
I didn't really know what he said on the phone, but I guess his friend knew what to tell him when he confided. What can I do as his sibling? How can I change the family's perception of his behaviour? And how will it all turn out, if I ever can?
Some people are just like the taste of the dessert.
Although bitter, it really tasted pure.
