As nature would have it, it is essentially there in many places of the animal kingdom that a child, be it cub or fawn, goes off to create the tracks of one's own life. The human sphere, however, is one species where one is never isolated from the herd despite the isolation of presence.
Well, this is hard to explain to the loving Mom and Dad who are obviously upset that my bro is leaving tomorrow (27th March). Obviously I am upset too but truthfully a tad bit more envious. Australia is not a visited landscape. I can only taste it through photographs or National Geographic. It is a lush place and a continent of newness that Dhaka, the capital that I live in, has very much lost in exchange for massive, pathological urbanization.
I do not feel that saddened as I am proud of my brother's accomplishment of being able to live abroad to pursue an education. I am happy too as he will be with his wife who, though they have been only married last year, had to leave within a short span as she is the student of the University of Sydney. In fact, for around 9 months my bro and she had been separated until, with the great hearts given to my Father and Mother by Allah Almighty, were reunited on November to my awestruck brother's befuddlement (it was a surprise in which he clutched his chest, his young heart taking in the enormity of it).
He will be leaving tomorrow to a new chapter.
I will miss him dearly, due to the very fact that is non-negotiable. He is my brother and I love him unconditionally. I had great times with him and for him also some bad times with him and for him. I will obviously miss the part where my computer breaks down and I pull him out from his room, a ritual of shouting and screaming, until he decides he will fix it. I will also miss the part where I would enforce him to hand me some DVDs that I could watch them in my leisure. I know that these times will come back INSHALLAH when he returns but as Dad with his scholar's wisdom has spoken truthfully: some things are not going to be the same, but, hopefully, they will not differ beyond our comprehension. I know they will not be entirely the same but each phase of life is not meant to be the same thus I accept it as realistically as anyone would.
I pray to Allah Almighty that my brother receives the best of the offers that life can give and happiness unwavering.
Well set for a new chapter in life GOOD LUCK BROTHER! I LOVE YOU!
