1ST July 2008, my first days of work after an elongated maternity leave. I woke up earlier than usual, (I woke up laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate these four and a half months) as I had a lot of things going on in my brain. Luckily I had ironed my clothes, abe’s shirt and I had also prepared Haziq’s things the night before. Huhuhu it was a cold morning. It rained cats and dogs from 3 a.m. until Subuh. (Huhuhuhu sejuk giler nak mandi. Dah lama tak mandi awal pagi). Later when I was done with my bedak, my lippy, my tudung and etc, I prepared a light breakfast for me and abe(hikhik buat air milo je pon). Haziq was still asleep. (He is now so lasak in his snooze, the bed belongs to him entirely that we have to compress ourselves in any accessible space). When everyone was ready to leave the house, I carried Haziq to the car. He was so sleepy, pity him. He normally wakes up at 11 a.m. but today, I had to wake him up before 8 a.m. and I have to wake him up that early each day starting from today. When I reached the nursery, the babysitter welcomed me and Haziq warmly. I was like carrying a burden on my shoulder when I handed Haziq over to the babysitter (her name is Kak Ti). She carried Haziq indoor while I waited outside, to ensure that he wouldn’t sob. I could see he smiled. Hmm he loves to make friends. A respite for me.
At noon, I went to feed him and another relief for me because he did not cry. Hmmm… I took him home, fed him and put him asleep. At 2.30 p.m. I sent him back to the nursery. He was still asleep. Then I drove to work. At 4 p.m. I called Kak Ti to ask about Haziq. she told me Haziq was doing fine. He did not cry, and was about to sleep. They placed him in the cradle and he seemed to be contented in there. Time moved so slowly. 4 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. look as if too long for me. Huhuhu.. The day moved awfully bit by bit. When my watch showed pointed 5.30 p.m., I immediately punched out and started my car. I could not wait any longer to fetch my lil dearie.When I reached the nursery, he was already dressed in another pair of clothes. They bathed him already. I put him in his seat and drove home. Huhuhu the day ended so slowly today. Luckily I was able to face the day, so did Haziq. I did not know what would happen the next next next day.. hope he would do good………..
