My Walks of Life

I knew something was wrong with him as soon as he stepped in the car; he was not as cheerful and energetic as usual, yesterday evening. He tend to be more calm and more sensitive. I rest my palm on his forehead and yes, he got some temperature. When he was not feeling well, he use to be a so-called good-boy . When I told him that we are going to stop at Giant on the way to pick up Abi, he was just nodding his head. There was no the usual Yippee yell. Upon arriving the entrance, he said “Ummi, ummi ada gaji dah ke? Abir nak makan fries dengan sos tomato aje” “ Ok, kita makan KFC.Tapi kita pegi toilet dulu.”

I just don`t know what was wrong with me then when I clumsily knocked him in front of the toilet which his head got hit the door. He cried, a weird response. Usually he could bare any head accident. I said sorry to him, and we done our business quickly. Soon, he had his Chicky meal with fries and tomato sauce.

On the way to Abi`s office, He dozed off with his eyes partly shut. Perhaps he was too tired. Pity boy. Abi got in the car and we get home straight. His temperature was 38`C and I gave him PCM, then he continued his sleep until 9.00 pm. At 9.30 pm, he wake up with a smile. He was feeling quite better.  Had 10 spoonfuls of nasi ayam and his favorite Isomil milk. “Wah, anak ummi dah baik demam eh?”. He smiled , while his eyes still on his favorite TV show.

I slept late that night, as Abir was still not sleepy whereas my hubby was deep asleep. I did some reading until 11.30 that night, when suddenly he shouted and ran to me “Ummi, Abir tak buat homework .Nanti teacher marah!! Abir nak buat homework.” gasping as he said in one breath. “Ok ok, ummi ambil buku Abir.” I replied with puzzle. So, there he goes…doing homework until midnight. Hu hu hu, I `m touched. We went to bed at 12.15am that night. …
