Second week of school

Monday

Aliah dreaded wearing uniform because she knew it was time to go to school again after a nice cosy weekend. This time i didn't talk to her much because i don't want her to get soft again.
When the teacher opened the door, i ushered them to the classroom, waving goodbye and quickly disappeared from their vision. It seemed to be getting better because they only let out a quick little cry.

I was relieved and hope that things will turn around better so i went to market happily and decided to whip up some dishes like sup bayam and ikan cencaru sumbat (ikan belah belakang...ooh seksi) for today's menu.

But at 12pm when it's time to fetch them, my happy thought bubble was burst when i heard Aliah's loud cry behind the closed door. She must be getting impatient to go home and some of the parents already looked at me as if blaming my parental skill unable to tame my kid. Kak nana asked me to stand infront of the door so that Aliah will saw me first and said Aliah could be scaring other children. Again i felt bad and tensed.

Once the door was opened, Aliah came running to me with so much tears rolling down her cheeks. I said sternly "Quiet!" and immediately she was silent controlling herself.

I don't know how much i can take all this but i still have to go through difficult phase by myself.
