absolute mad(ara)ness

Winter breeze flows by flying away the last leaf that was left on the ground . The wet clothes being hanged in precise moments by servants . Sunlight becomes a luxury in cold times , servants making most use of it by hanging wet clothes in precise moments . The lunch being served in the dining area . The family eating peacefully , while their daughter was eating slowly seemingly distracted . Her mother notices Kanae and enquires her -" What are you thinking about ?" . Kanae looks at her mother and responds "When will the baby be here ? , I want to play with the baby ". The parents chuckle at their daughter's eagerness for towards her unborn sibling . Her mother explains to her " The baby is preparing to see to you , it be here when it feels ready , you should get ready as well , to share your parents , toys with it when it comes ." The Father chimes in " Not only that you would also need to make sure to be careful around it , as babies are small and sensitive , they need a lot of care and protection ". Kanae ponders , she looks outside points to the birdhouse -"It needs even more protection than birds or the cat that comes to our house for milk ?".

The mother looked surprised by the comparison drawn by Kanae , but seems like the animals she cared for around her were her way of understanding the gravity of the situation , but that's how children understood the things in their own way . She explains to her daughter -" you would even have set a good example cause it will learn from you as you will be her elder sister ". The Father smiles , " I can see it , Kanae would be such a good sister ". After the lunch , at onset of evening Kanae plays around , making paper butterflies using origami. As her mother was preparing some snacks for them , she feels sudden pain in her abdomen and she screams in pain. Hearing her painful scream , Kanae and her father rush towards her , to the kitchen . She holds her husband and mumbles -" Its time ". A panic paints over his face and he looks at kanae and speaks with urgency -" Kanae , I want you to run and call our neighbors aunt and grandma tell them its happening now ".

Kanae runs outside the house , leaving the door and gate wide open as she is worried about her mother . She reaches their neighbor's house knocks on it shivering a little due to the cold winds the blew . A middle woman opens the house , certainly worried seeing the heaving little girl. She inquires her for the reason of her rushed appearance . The little girl speaks -" Father sent me to call you and grandma to tell you its happening now ".

The woman immediately understood and calls the older woman and they all go back to her home . When the ladies reach they take her mother away to deliver the baby . Screams of agony filled the room as kanae and her father sit out . She asks him -"What is happening to mother , will she be alright ?". He replied -"Oh dear , she is giving birth to the baby , we need to pray that they both are safe by the end of it ". Both of them begin praying , after what felt like eternity the house went quiet and the ladies came out of the room . As middle aged woman cleaning up the remains of the procedure , the grandma returns to the both of them and discloses -"Congraculations the baby and the mother are safe ". She looks at Kanae and tells her -"Your prayers have been answered little one , you have been blessed with a little sister". The father and daugther quietly enter the room to see them both lying on the futon . Kanae hugs her mother while he instructs her to be careful as he holds the baby in his arms . Kanae turns to see her little sister and her father lets the little one lie on the futon . She is enthralled seeing her for the first time . Someone so little , so delicate could exist was beyond her imagination .

The mother notices her happiness and excitement in her eyes , as Kanae touches her sisters little hands , the little one grabs her finger in her tiny hands . The mother faintly whispers - "She held your finger , she truly loves you Kanae , you must never leave her hand ". They look at the window only to see the snow is falling silently and gently on the ground . This would be the last snow of the year .They were all the recipients of blessings of Last Snow.

The sunlight bathes the world in soft glow , which may make anyone believe in magic . Birds chirping around urging the ones in slumber to wake up and embrace the moments of early dawn . These birds come to the bird house, which offers them water to quench their thirst . This bird house was made by gentle little hands , whose kind heart was enamoured by people around her . Curious eyes observing the birds replenish themselves from the slightly open windows to understand the changes to be made through the way birds drink through it . It seems the hole for the house was a little smaller for the birds .

A voice is heard and the little girl turns her head .

"You are already awake ...Kanae." The women looks at her and understands that the girl must have been woken up to see her plan coming to fruition.

"Yes , okaasan, you should see the birds . They like the bird house I made for them, and they even drank the water, but I made a mistake.... the hole a little smaller for them ."

The mother looked at her smiled she was really worried for birds . She found her daughter's concern endearing . She speaks

"Well then, now you just have to make the hole larger. You can do it when the birds fly away for finding food ... but now you must eat your breakfast. "

Little girl looks up to her and inquires "why can't we give them food as well "

The mother smiles and replies –" Because they need to a little independent as well , there needs to be a balance , now you have provided them a shelter you have done half work that humans should do as we are responsible for protecting life.....the other half is birds living on their own which you shouldnt interfere with " .

They both leave the room for breakfast. Walking through the corridors, they reach the dining room . As they reach , they see a practiced moments of hands turning the pages of newspaper . The news paper is kept to reveal a smiling face . The mother looks at him and he chuckles–"Birds ...again "

The mother nods and kanae goes to her father who shifts his attention from the newspaper to his daughter who tells him all about the bird house .

" Don't worry , Kanae, we will fix it together after breakfast just like we always do." The man replies to his daughters worries, and they all begin to eat .

After breakfast, the duo begins to fix the birdhouse . Then they sit , waiting for the birds to come. Suddenly, Kanae goes back into the house . The parents sit by wondering the reason behind it as she comes out with a bowl filled with water, keeping it by the bird house sitting on the grass waiting for the birds to come.

Kanae enquires -" When will the birds come ?. Her father looks at kanae and then looks over the mother's swollen belly – " All good things take time and are worth the wait ."
