THE ELDEST

My mum is a person with AB blood type.
(If you don't know anything about blood type personality, I suggest you google it. It's fun!)
And for those who have read about blood type personality, you know what AB people are like.
They're easy-going, free-minded, quirky, and fun.
My mum is only 20 years older than me.
So having a woman who is 20 years older and with AB blood type as a mother, is unlike the other lol.
It's not a bad thing. It's a FUN thing, really.
I'm happy and grateful having her.
It's just, my blood type is A and I'm a Virgo. Double dead-serious.
So mostly I'm taking over being the most mature, logical, and annoying over-protective person in family.
I remember when I was a kid, probably (almost) nine.
I went to a shop with my little sister and a kid rudely called us "Orphans" because I just lost a father.
My sister cried, I think. And I told my mum when I was home.
She told me that I should stand up for ourselves and told that rude kid to piss off.
She said that I'm the eldest and I should be the protector of the family even though I'm a girl.
My father always taught me to be a strong, independent, and forbade me to cry when I was little, so being that "protector of the family" is not a big deal.
It's just, I didn't realize it before. No 9 years old realized that, I think.
And until now, my mum always asks me if she wants to ask my siblings something.
Like, can you tell Rinda or Aji to be like this or that, could they do this or that. And stuffs like that.
And most of the time they don't know that it was our mum who asked me to tell them that.
They only know that I asked them to do that.
Besides, my mum told them to obey me, because if she wasn't there, I was in charge as her substitute.
Not all of what I was asking was a pleasant thing to do.
I'm pretty sure they dislike me at some point.
So I become the bad one, sometimes. Or most of times.
Because I like to order them to do things. Whilst our mum does not.
I don't mind. I don't mind being the bad one, because in fact, I'm not.
I think I just inherit my dad's thing to be feared even when we do nothing.
I don't mind.
Someday they'll know.
Or even they won't, it doesn't matter.
As long as they live to the fullest, blessed, and of course, happily.
