My mom got her new housemate, and the house is no longer empty as before. Me? I feel much better now because I guess my mom is in safer condition now. That day, we don’t have to wake up as earlier as we usually wake up during fasting month because we don’t have to take sahur anymore. My mom brings me to a nasi lemak stall for our breakfast. It was full with people in that stall. I guess the nasi lemak must be really delicious. If not, why would the stall be crowded? Nyummmm…. The nasi lemak sure is delicious. After the breakfast, me and my mom go straight away to the office. Later, the owner of the office, which is a friend of my mom come to have a meeting with my mom. She told my mom she wants to close this office because she can’t afford it anymore. WHAT?! What is happening with this world? Why this world is seems like to hate my mom so much? Where else can my mom work to get her food and all her needs? Well, of course my mom got a lot of experience and she is a good worker and I’m sure any company will accept her. But it’s just she is going to need time to find and to adapt with new places. Haizzz…. I guess life can get harder. Now I’m starting to worry again. I guess my mom must feel really sad right now. I wish everything will be much easier for my mom. But suddenly, the friend of my mom said, if my mom wants to keep this office, my mom can buy this office from her. Just pay her around RM 15,000 then the office belongs to my mom. Oh my, where are we going to find RM 15,000? It’s not a small amount for a poor people like us you know. Mom thinks carefully about the offer. Opportunity doesn’t come twice you know. My mom tells me that she really wants to take that offer and she needs to find a partner. I am totally disagree with my mom’s decision. Well I agree with taking the opportunity but not with the partner thingy. Because you see, humans are born with greed. Either it’s you or your partner, one of them is going to become greedy, especially about money and they are going to betray each other.
Later, my mom tries to find good friends of her to become her partner. And at last, my mom found a woman to become her partner and my mom pays half and the partner pays the other half. Starting that next day, the office is my mom’s shared with the other partner. I meet my mom’s partner and my first impression towards her. Hmmm… She is nice I guess. A lady like. I guess maybe I was wrong about having partner. By looking at her I guess not all partners are going to betray each other and greedy. My mom and her partner later on hire a clerk to work with them. The clerk is nice. I call the clerk Kak Abby. Huhu… Now, the routine of my mom’s life is starting to change. Instead of going to the office after having breakfast, we go to the developer’s office. It’s all about cases and projects. My mom really works hard trying to get cases and projects from this office. Almost every morning and every evening she call a lot of people, government offices, clients and even the office just to get the cases and the projects. Because if there is no projects that means no salary for the month. And when there is no salary, you know what will happen, no food! Even if I am worried about my mom, I start to worry about myself too, because I skipped school for too long. It’s time for me to get back to my father’s house and go back to school. So, good bye mom, please take care of yourself, I love you. And because there is no other way for me to go to my father’s house except by bus, I go back by bus. Inside the bus is the moment that I hate the most because it’s boring and annoying. Luckily I did buy some junk food, at least there is something I can do. Thinking back about my mom, I wonder, is life going to get complicated as we grow older? I wonder, how is my life going to be? 2 hours have past and at last I arrive at the bus terminal. My dad takes me with a motorcycle because it’s faster. Even if I am angry with my dad, but I still respect him as my dad and treat him nicely. I’m not sure am I even doing the right things. Is it ok to treat him nicely? Haizzz.. What am I thinking? My mom always reminds me to respect older people. I guess there is no exception for my dad. No matter what he did to my mom, I still have to respect him as older people and the most importantly as dad. But still, I didn’t talk much with my dad. The only time I am going to have a conversation with him is when he asks me questions and there is something important I want to tell him. When I’m back at home, it was already evening. I start to prepare things for my school tomorrow and I guess I don’t really need to bring books because there are no more studies at school for that time. We just come to school to meet friends and get the attendance. I go to sleep early that night. The next morning, I wake up early and get prepared for school. Breakfast? Usually my mom is going to cook for us. But because she is not staying with us anymore, my dad has to go out and get me and my little sister some breakfast. And after eat some kuih, I go to school. At the main gate of my school, I start to miss school again. Hi school, long time didn’t see you. I guess everything at school is fine.
