I’m Lost Without You – Marlon Williams
Running Late.
I was heading for work.
She calls me.
Wishes me, “Happy Belated Birthday Babu!” (In Nepali)
Adds the most sincere, “I LOVE YOU, at last, after she had sobbed her heart out for having forgotten my birthday.”
This is my granny.
My first love, as I call her time and again.
The lady who took me with her before i even knew who my mom was.
The woman who raised me with utter love and care — the one who pet-named me
‘kancha‘.
