Dear Mummy, Hello! How are things at home? I'm so sorry that I haven't written in what feels like forever, but things have been so busy here - I don't even know where to begin! Of course, I'm making plenty of time between my classes and Head Girl duties to take time to study. I'm fairly excited for the exams, if only for them to be over, which seems like it is taking forever for that time to come. It's really rather incredible that come the Easter holidays, it will only be a few short months until I will be completely finished with this school and ready to go out and start my own life. It's rather humbling, if that makes any sense. To be able to go out and make my own decisions - both in my career and personal life? It's an incredible - albeit frightening - feeling. Oh, and speaking of decisions that I've decided regarding my personal life! Deshan and I have decided to get married. I spoke with Rashmi a few weeks ago and she sounds as though she's doing quite well. It feels as though it's been ages since I've spoken with her, even though they were all home for the winter holidays. I'd like to go to India and see her and the little one soon. Perhaps that's something to do over the summer? Anyway, I really ought to be going. Give my love to Daddy and the twins and I'll see you in a few weeks. Love, Amala Amala, No. Making The Final Decision, Your Brothers Now that's not fair! Neither of you have any say in who I do or don't marry and how dare you read a letter that I sent specifically for MUM. Not Particularly Caring What You Think, Amala Amala, No. Don't Bother, Your Brothers Stop it! At Her Last Straw, Amala My Darling, Things are doing quite well at home, although it really isn't the same without you here. I know that you've long since grown quite tired of hearing me say that to you - it seems as though it comes up every time I've written since you were eleven, wouldn't you say? - but that doesn't keep it from being any less true. I'm counting down the days until we will be able to see you again come the Easter holidays. And speaking of Rashmi - all three of them will be coming home for the holiday, so you can look forward to seeing them in the very near future! You speaking of becoming an adult - oh, goodness, it just makes me tear up, darling. I know that isn't what you are meaning to do, but to see you so old and speaking such truth is a moment I never thought would come yet here it is! You have always been so much older than your years, but to actually see you reach the age where you will leave the house and make your own decisions, as you've said, is such a huge moment for both myself and your father. It was a day that we knew that we wouldn't be able to hold from happening any longer and receiving your letter - and subsequently having it taken by Kamal - made it incredibly obvious that that moment had come. To be quite frank, I was expecting such a letter to come eventually, if not for us to receive an announcement over the holidays much like you slyly inserted in your letter. Your father and I were lucky enough to be able to see just how Deshan treats you and how respectful he manages to be, even in the presence of your brothers. I don't think that we could have picked a better match for you, my darling. After all, you deciding yourself makes it quite easier on your father and I come the summer. Now, over the holidays we certainly must have the Patils over for dinner. I'll allow you to speak with your fiance and let me know just when they are free for a dinner. I've already got a menu coming together in my mind and there is no turning back once we have reached that point, darling. We love you very much. Love, Mummy and Daddy |
