“Mamu, will you miss me when I am gone?’, with a puppy face my 10 year old nephew asked me. We were driving to the airport all four of us ( Mum, Didi , Max and I), cramped in the backseat of the car. With straight face I bluntly said, “HELL NO!! Why would I miss you? All you did in last 2 months is used all my gadgets, asked me awkward questions, took everyone’s attention, bugged me while I needed some space, broke my swimming glasses, invited everyone from my work to come see our house ( which apparently I never did) and embarrassed me and tagged along wherever I went even barged on my date”.

Max, my nephew was leaving after his 2 months long vacation in Nepal. We have been very close since his early childhood. Probably we develop that fondness toward our Sanomamu. Not being bias but I feel we are more attached to our maternal family than our paternal. Perhaps the reason could be the degree of pampering we get in those relations. My nephew got the name Max from the word Maximum, coz he used to cry in a very high pitch so short form of that word is Max.

I must admit here that I love to go to the airport when I have to arrival and I super hate to go to the departure end. I hate to say goodbyes. I actually don’t have problem dealing with death and last homage to the deceased. I accept the reality of death quicker than any other reality. But it’s a torture for me to go to airport. Yessai pani gadi ma sabai jana jannu lai tham nai hundaina LOL.

Anyway, coming back to the point, I had to say my byes to the most precious person in my life. I know I will see him in 10 months time again as he will come back, but still its hard to say a small bye. He insisted me to come to the airport and after many years I was at the departure side of the airport. People were hugging, crying , taking pictures and saying their final byes. I felt it’s not as hard as I always thought to come to the departure side . People got to go frm the departure side to come back from the arrival. So I hugged Max, kissed him tight on his cheek, whispered that I really love him a lot and I am going to miss him.

He was waiting for the moment where I say that I will miss him. He smirked and gave me that I KNOW look. After a while tears rolled out from his eyes and he hugged me. I didnt cry coz I had to be the stronger pillar. Now for the next 10 months I ll live with the memories he has given me added not to forget, Viber , Skype and Facebook chats.

Amby, Nice one as alwsys !!!

Thank you Mr. President

Amby... its indeed hard to say good bye, but with all the troubles he brought in, including inviting ppl from your workplace, he did it in a loving and caring way. Im sure, he misses you more, and is so fond of you! 10 mos will pass soon, he will be in your arms... And 10 months later i hope so see a post that stats, ufffo!! Max invited my colleagues again, lol this time they said yes! lol

I'd be in the same scenario in 2 mos, though the trouble they bring in, love and the constant nagging turns out to be more pleasant. Their existence around you might sound so damn annoying, but the fact that, it all keeps you happy is what that matters...

Lovely post Amby!!

Hahaha you know what i mean dont you......like literally he was my shadow for 2 months now its hard to do things without him!!!!
And he is very very close to my heart so i guess i have to tolerate him :P...but 10 months i ll be nagged on viber......starting from today morning...first question was Mamu did u miss me hahahaah

hahaha thats true

I hate goodbyes too....... I cannot handle any goodbyes for that matter be it death or any other form of departure..... but you gotta do what you gotta do... तेस्माथी छोरो मान्छे भएपछि रुन-खल्लो मन देखाउन नि खै किन किन नमिल्दो रहेछ .... तेस्तै देखेर हुर्कीईयो ... तेस्तै सिकाईयो .... तेस्तै भईयो ....

IP Man,
So did my post made you miss someone???

Yes it did. In fact, it slightly intensified longing of my family in Nepal.

IP Man,
When you miss someone, it is a good idea to call if you cant meet them right away. talk to them :)
