A Letter to My Sibling in a Triumph Day

23rd May 2020

To: My dearest ridiculous messy sister

“Plung” a.k.a. Istiqomah

When I was kids, to be honest, I did not want to have a sister and I think that you had known the main reason because Ibuk told it so many times. Yaps, girls prefer crying to fighting when they cope with a childhood dispute. It’s so weak, isn’t it? That’s why I always told my friends that I had a brother, not a sister, but it doesn’t mean I dislike you, okay!

While being a strong independent smart girl without any lame excuses is a major notion imposed by our parents since we were kids. I do believe that this unprecedented crisis period caused by a ruthless virus will pass away and we are able to come together soonest.

Btw, I’m writing my incredible letter in a precious intriguing place, called a dining room, exactly so many mouth-watering foods are provided. You always call my shoes “dwarf feet”. So I need a thousand meals to thrive at least into a tiny giant because you are too big to be defeated.

Sending you best wishes on Eid and wishing that it brings you joy and blessings. Sending you my tons of relentless affection. Sending you my valuable hug. All of them will be sent virtually. No worries, I have just forgiven you because I know you have a lot of mistakes for me.

Lastly and importantly, never fall your tears merely for a distance and a vicious pandemic.

Your marvelous sister,

(Signature)
