'Appa, stop waking me up every 12 hours. At 5.30 in the morning, you wake me up for work. At 5.30 in the evening, it's again you who wakes me up once I'm back from work. Let me sleep! Go awayyy' I mumbled, dreamily annoyed.
'That is because it's such a task waking you up', Appa said, as his hands caressed my cheek.
'Please', and I flashed my palm, 5 fingers spread apart.
Appa melted, like always. 'Okay, 5 minutes, and I'm waking you up again', he smiled and went away.
'Jijju?'
'Hmm', I turned to the other side.
'Okay, only 2 minutes. Seriya?' he said, as I showed peace.
'Okay, I'll bring your coffee and by then you better be up!'
'Vandhu, you're again going to be late and keep the cab driver waiting', he yelled.
Mornings. The jolts. And the time pangs.
