Haji Lane with my constant companion





Whenever I look really down and upset, you'll ask me why I'm sad. And you'll ask me to smile. Sometimes you ask, "Is it me, ibu?" And I had to smile and say,
"No, it's never you, boy."
When I say Im sick, you'll constantly check on me and ask me if Im feeling better.
When we are late and the shop I want to go to is closed, you'll say
'Nevermind ibu, we'll try again tomorrow."
Once, when you saw tears in my eyes, you asked me, "Are you crying ibu?". Then I saw you looked around trying to find something to make me feel better. You picked a puzzle and asked me if I wanted to play. When I shook my head you looked around again. In the end, you took a tissue and gave it to me. You waited for me to wipe my tears, took the tissue and threw it in the bin."R u feeling better now, ibu?" you asked.
When you thought Im asleep (actually Im just pretending to sleep), you'd say,
"Goodnight ibu. I love you" and give me a kiss on my cheeks.
You'll always take everything blue and keep all things pink for me, just because Im a girl.

I teach you the alphabets, numbers and colours.
But I don't remember teaching you how to be sweet, coz honestly I don't know how to teach you that. I guess you picked it up somewhere. You are loud, boisterous, active. You never ever walk. You jump, hop, skip, run, everything else but take proper steps.But amidst all the craziness of being three,I suppose
you learn to care.

You'll always be our number one :)
