Dear Captain,
It is the first weekend of my new semester, long time no contact! How are you recently?
Captain, I spent my whole summer holiday in Su’s grandparents’ home. They treated me very friendly, as if I was their own granddaughter. I went to the kindergarten and primary school which Su stayed before and I got some photos of Su from them, very precious things for me though. Often after dinner, I would take a walk with Su’s grandparents, and listened to anything they told me about Su carefully. Dear Captain, you know, they told me Su was a naughty but smart girl, she liked drawing animals very much. I didn’t know this before, because Su’s parents didn’t allow her to keep any pets since she was allergic to them. I found that I left out many details of Su before, alas!
Now I get another idea. What was my parents’ life like before I came to the world? How about Ling’s? How about others? How many things I have missed? Nowadays when I meet a kid, I will imagine what he is like when he grows up, and imagine the younger time of an aged person. It is quite interesting! So my big idea is to find out something slipped me about the people I care.
Captain, what do you think of this idea?
I know it may sound a bit crazy for the others, but it is meaningful for me! Hehe, I think by then I can’t write to you for another long time, maybe much longer than before. But I won’t forget you! You will live in my heart and I will miss you! Time for me to experience more and learn more! Please pray for me and trust me. A new chapter of my life has opened…
Best wishes, my dearest Captain! Farewell and thanks a bunch!
Yours sincerely
Nikita

Good question! That's a secret. [But I can tell you it have something to do with the Captain. As for the answer, hmmm, I will tell you later] Anyway, it will be a long series.
;-)
Sis Fahime, your mind is so special!
I see your sweetness! Nikita is growing...
What a great idea Nikita... It doesn't sound even a bit crazy! It's totally meaningful. Actually I tried it years ago. When I was a high school student I think about such that matter so much! When I was at bus stop or every other public places I just gazed at others and imagined them as children or aged persons! I was so curious about life, about people, about society and...
Great to read how our lovely Nikita's life is changing...
Anele, have you read Waiting for Godot? hmmm, I would say you and sewar are smart readers who think a lot. Yes, your intuitions are right! Captain in Nikita's letters is just like Godot. And the Godot can be the readers or someone she trusts or just herself~ But I dont know either!
I am not sure if you noticed some details that showed Nikita actually is a problem kid [seeing from common people's perspective]. Do you still remember letter 2? Have you noticed her reaction when Ling's dad sent her to the sanatorium? Anyway finally she becomed alright~ [but I try to express such an idea, that adult people tend to understand kids like her kind rough, actually she or the kids just see things from a different angle from us. people should be more understanding and patient]
Oh, I need to stop here. After all, every reader has their own comprehension, so I cant pour mine into your brains. ~\(≧▽≦)/~ hehehe
So my big idea is to find out something slipped me about the people I care.
Sewar, Nikita meant she got a big thing or dream to realize, that was she would find out the missing part of the people she cared, which slipped or skipped her. For instance, she was absent of the time of her parents before she came to the world, so she wanted to figure it out.
Hi my friend, actually, I didn't understand what Nikita meant when she said:"So my big idea is to find.................about the people I care". Please, can you explain it to me?? Thanks.
What if i tell you the Captain is Godot?
I would rather keep hope for the readers~ Every reader will have their own captain according to Nikita's letters.
sis bala, let's pray for her, may she enjoy her new life! =)
Farewell Nikita and thanks a lot for letting us read ur letters......
Longing to see u again....
hehehe, thanks! Sniper [nice name]~
