I will leave all this madness.
And continue with the basic.
Greeting with a text messages.
A simple Hello and How Are You.
Updating with ones life with phone call.
No more scrolling thru stories and grams and assume they're okay.
Maybe and just maybe one of them or us is missing one another.
A chat that could continue till tomorrow.
A laugh on simple matters.
A sincere listening about the children.
I shall leave all the madness soon.
Not everyone wanna ask if you okay or not.
Even you seems not to be okay.
They still don't care to ask.
Because everyone is busy taking care to themselves.
Sedang aku tengah elok membaca buku dalam bilik kesorangan, aku mahu ambil barang dilaci tepi..
"Takkk..", bunyi barang jatuh.
Tiba-tiba si kecil masuk dan memanjat katil.
Senyum yang sangat gembira. Seolah mendapat buah kegemarannya.
Memanjat pula ke atas aku. Memeluk aku. Masih senyum dan gelak gembira.
"I shall keep this smile in my memory...", getus hati aku.
Senyuman anak membuatkan aku terfikir, how on earth ibu bapa boleh mengeluarkan kata yang begitu kasar.
What they do to deserve that?
They just plainly a kid.
Sometimes it's not the kid need to be corrected. But us.
Our ego.
Our temperament.
Our speech.
I've been heard a lot of nasty word that parents said to their kids.
Kadang-kadang rasa sedih yang teramat.
Why.
And how could you.
Fix your heart.
Minta maaf if you said something hurtful to your kids before they become adult and hold the disappointment in them.
Percaya atau tidak...
Anak-anak tidak akan membawa pencapaian kerja-kerja anda ke ingatannya sampai tua.
Tetapi apa yang akan diingatinya..
Masakan ibunya.
Permainan yang dibeli ayahnya.
Jenaka ayahnya.
Ketenangan ibunya.
KPI yang kita terlalu kejar-kejarkan dan lalu pulang memarahi anak kita kerana "bad day" ditempat kerja, itu juga akan diingati anak kita.
Be wise, and play your part carefully.
Be nice.
Be good to our family.
Status dan darjat tak akan buat orang menyayangi kita. Tetapi kasih sayang yang kita berikan, itu buat orang ihsan dan belas pada kita.
