Babainanabrades

Well, at least that's what kimi said. My mom's two closest brothers, travelled here a few weeks ago, just to spend time with their sister, my mom.
Usually we would take them around, Langkawi, Pangkor, Tioman, etc. but that wasn't why they were here. They were here unknown to them to most probably say their goodbyes. It seemed surreal at first, while they were hugging and kisssing, my mom bawling her eyes out, but I guess she knew.
It was silent in the car halfway to the airport, and them we started to chat about mundane things like cars, tolls and airplanes like men do. We talked all through parking, check-in, and waiting..
Then their flight opened on the screen, it was time to go. The conversation turned to what was unsaid, with what being implied being heard.
So goodbye and have a nice flight, if we meet again, things will probably be different, no matter which way the pendulum swings. It is as they say... an end of an era, without the need to say it.
