THERE IS DRAMA HERE

There is drama here,
this old house's weary boards
creak, remembering the time
the previous ancestor had an affair,
after which her husband left her,-
and remembering the three children who grew up there:
a sage responsible boy,
a friendly, charming, and goofy boy,
and an artistic liberal girl.
All of those old children
are missed by this old house,
and even the painful memories.

On Dada's apartment with fiction in it.
Thinking about the family's drama that occurred which I've now heard about as an adult (not in my direct bloodline).
The 3 children are Arun, Sunil, and Mala.
The ancestor who had an affair was not a blood relation of mine, but the spouse of one, and the genders were swapped (intentionally).
