Yesterday was like any other day... I was busy at my work and the door bell rang. The courier guy dropped of a big mystery box and it was marked as gift from my company. I opened it to find an assortment of chocolates, some herbal tea and few other wellness products. But 75% was chocolates. Something that myself and my son enjoy (having together).
This is 4th week since Adi moved to his college. First 2 weeks we were all preoccupied in ensuring he is comfortable in the quarantine. Week 3 went off in settling in the Hostel or as they call hall. With all the initial buzz settling, now we are hear the omni present silence. Living in a small apartment as ours, there are no designated rooms. Its everyplace for everyone. So I miss him everywhere.
I miss him when I watch Netflix. I miss him when I open the snack box. Breakfast and lunch choices have become so unattractive. No enthu to have anything special cooked. No one to nag me to make some Vagarne Mosuranna (Spl Curd rice). No one who is up until midnight and looking for some midnight snack to munch!
Work keeps me busy ... but still an empty nest is an empty nest and I was never really prepared, although it was coming.
