No Time
With a broad smile on her lips, 15-year-old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new painting. But mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open, and spoke in an impatient tone, "No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an important talk. Just wait for some time, OK?"
Holding her oil painting, she frowned(皱眉), and then searched for her dad.
"Dad, see what I have done, "Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice. Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie, grinned(咧嘴笑)at her, and showed his thumbs up!
Immediately, blowing her two cheeks, Sirin replied angrily, "Dad, you haven't seen it yet."He smiled at her saying, "No time, baby. I will see it later. "He just patted her back lovingly, kissed her forehead, and rushed for his office.
She was not a kid to be pleased with simple gestures or smiles. She stood there for a few seconds, and then stormed off to her own bedroom. Hot air was blowing from her nostrils(鼻孔);her face turned into apple red. She threw the painting on the table, slammed(把……砰地关上)the door and threw herself on her bed.
"Why is everybody so busy?" She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in pre-school, middle school and even in high school too! She assumed at least her own family members would give some values to her thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously, her eyes were filled with tears.
The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake to her thought. Her mom was calling her for dinner. Sirin deliberately came late to join them. She kept silent and didn't look at anyone, scratching the table cloth with her nail. Her mom was puzzled at the unusual behavior. Suddenly, the morning incident clicked in her mind. Softly, she asked, "Honey, did I do anything wrong?"
