My twin boys turned 3 years and 5 months last week. My little girl, Rose Aiesya, will be 7 months old in about a week time. How time flies... Nothing can describe the joy I've found in them. They are the apples of my eyes. They are my sweethearts... My love... And above all, the symbol of the bond I have with my dear darling husband. With them in my life, everyday is a learning process for me, perhaps to hubby too. They taught us that children, young as they are, have feelings, and needs, and wants. They never failed to impress me with their tricks and skills...
As for the twins, although they were together in my womb for more than 9 months, they are still 2 different individuals. Asyraff, a little bit reserved, but can be very friendly at times, and has the most handsome smile. Aimar, on the other hand, is very, very friendly. Easy with people around him, and has a very cheeky smile. Oh, and he can be very mischievous too.
As for the baby of the family, Rose Aiesya, she's the most famous of them all. She gets the attention from everybody, and until recently, from Asyraff. She managed to 'soften' the heart of her elder brother when one fine day not so very long ago (just last week I think), out of the blue, we saw Asyraff touched and held his sister's hand when she came close to him. Though it lasted for only a minute, but it was an amazing improvement on Asyraff to us.
Asyraff was never fond of his little sister since the day we brought her home from the hospital. Unlike Aimar, he would shy away whenever all of us sit together watching TV. Aimar would approach and play with his sister, Asyraff would just stare or leave the place when she cries.
But that day, that very day, Rose was crying really loud. Hubby and I were busy doing our chores. It was really stressful… The sound of the TV, mixed with Rose crying, Aimar giggling and yelling over something we don’t even know what, and Asyraff clapping and jumping around…. It was super-duper noisy that I felt my head was about to explode! Suddenly, Rose stopped crying. I didn’t realise it if it was not hubby who quietly signaling to me to come to the living room. There… I saw Asyraff, stroking his little sister’s hand as if to calm her down. And Rose… Oh, sweet, sweet Rose… She was on her tummy, looking up to her brother, smiling, with her cheeks still wet from her tears… Such a wonderful sight that I almost cried myself… That very day, my heart was filled with happiness…We didn’t get to capture the moment with any of our camera or camera phones though. We were overwhelmed by the feelings of pure relief and joy that Asyraff had finally warmed up to his sister… =)
