It’s been 2 weeks of fasting now and I’m still staying with my mom. Even my exams have finished, but still, my school has not been close yet. Haha… I skip school! Me and my mom have our normal routine like usual. But today, the housemate told my mom, she is going back to her hometown the day after tomorrow. And not just go back for awhile, but forever. It means, now it’s only me and my mother who is going to stay inside the house. 2 days later, the housemate move away back to her hometown. Like I said, now it’s only me and my mom. Now I’m starting to worry again. Do you know why? Because I know I am not going to stay with my mom forever. I will be back to school after my holidays have ended, and who is going to take care of my mom? But actually it’s my mom who takes care of me, not me who take care of my mom. But what I mean by take care is company her. I don’t want to see her to be alone again. I don’t want to see my mom crying like last time again. I understand the feeling of being lonely. It’s really painful though. Can you feel it? No one to talk with, to do something with and everything is just alone. Who wouldn’t worry? My mom works at her office alone and stay at home alone! I told my mom to find new housemate so that she can company my mom when I’m gone. The next day she brings me to the mall and we went to a game shop. Yay! Which boy in this world wouldn’t be happy when their mom brings them to a game shop. But honestly I’m not really happy because I’m worried that I will give trouble to my mom. Money matters of course. My mom said she wants to buy me a game device so that I wouldn’t be boring later. I’ve told her, it’s ok, I’m not boring. And besides, game device just a waste of money. But my mom said she got a profit from the office and she insist to buy it for me. Isn’t my mom sweet? So I choose to buy a Gameboy colour and actually by that time it’s Gameboy QD time and Gameboy colour is like so outdated. But who cares? I don’t. I feel really touched at that time. Always remember this, it’s not about the price or whether it is outdated or not, when someone gives you something, appreciate it! because they put effort in it. Thanks mom!
Like usual, take sahur in the early morning, take shower, pray and get ready for work. And this time, after working, my mom brings me to a furniture shop. And my mom looks at a couch, a long one with “L” shape and brown in colours. Oh ya, and the couch comes with a coffee table. And the price is RM 1499. Eeee….. aren’t that expansive? For a non working boy like me and for me and my mom’s condition, I think it is expansive. My mom said that she wants to buy it. I guess as long as my mom is happy, then it’s ok. I really wish I am working by that time so I can help her paying them. So my mom buys the chair but we didn’t pay in cash. We pay in debts. It is a year contract and my mom has to pay about RM300 per month. I pray deeply in my heart, I hope God help my mom. The couch is going to be sends within 1 week, the worker said. And because it’s almost Aidilfitri’s month, my mom wants the house to look fantastic. Because it was so ugly and empty, my mom ask me to paint the wall. Huhu… Now she brings me to buy some paint. She ask my opinion what colour should we pick. And because the chair that my mom bought was brown in colour, I ask my mom to pick light and dark brown. I guess I have to start painting tomorrow. It’s just the hall that I have to paint, it’s not that bad though. And yes, I have to finish them by that week before the couch arrive and if not I am going to spoil the couch. The next day come and that day I am not going to follow my mom to the office. Better start painting the wall. I start painting at 8.00 am and it finish at 12.30 pm. yay!! It’s done. The house looks pretty though. My mom later got back from the office and look at the new colours of the wall. She smiles and looks really happy. I’m glad to look her at that face. It is exhausting but I feel really happy cause, it made my mom smile. My mom told me she bought a carpet and it is inside the car. Of course, I know what to do, go take it then. We put the carpet in the middle of the hall. Wow! It looks really nice. The wall with dark and light brown and also with the chocolate carpet. And few days later, the couch that my mom bought arrived! The house looks even better now. It’s just 1 day before the fasting month finish and soon all of the Muslims are going to celebrate Aidilfitri. Usually, when people celebrate Aidilfitri, they are going to celebrate them with joy and happily. But for this year, I feel a bit sad, my father is not around and so is my siblings for the first day of the Aidilfitri. And during Aidilfitri, it’s the time when we shakes hand and ask for forgiveness if we ever made any mistake to anyone. And this year, it’s only me and mom who are going to celebrate them together. The morning of the Aidilfitri arrive, my mom cooked some meat that day. I shake my mom’s hand and kissed her. A drop of tear comes into my eyes because I feel happy and sad at the same time, asking for forgiveness and to allow every food and drinks that she ever gave me.
