I got up late today, after gussied up and had my breakfast then I straight off to work.
Arrived at the primary school around 9 something. As usual, I need to carry a lot of stuffs and walk clumsily to the canteen and waiting for the kids to arrived. Not a very long distance though, I have no stamina already, I am breathless . No idea whether is the polluted air caused me have problem to breathe or because I cough too much, my lungs getting weaker and weaker… That’s why I gasping..
After a few minutes, I order my student to queue up and then I lead them to the computer lab, like the hen leading chick. Ha! Every time, when the kids step in the lab.. it will become a mess! They start talking, chasing here and there, itchy hand touching the computer and so on…
When I try to handle the “mess” in lab, I saw a familiar face…. she opened the door and waved to me with her smile on face.
A woman. The mother of one of my student.
I remember the week before Raya, the mother scolded me because she couldn’t find her son in school. When she saw me, she started to blame and scolded me because she waiting for her son for an hours and she thought her son was lost. So, I explained to her that I ask him to stay back for a while because I wanted to teach him and guide him to get his thing done. Then, she told me angrily that his son don’t know where she will be waiting for him, I should ask him to come out to inform her. ( Hello?? You said he doesn’t know where are you, then how he going to inform you, aunty!?? And I only took few minutes, not 1 hour to teach him la aunty! That’s your responsibilities to inform your son where you going to wait for him, not mine. How I know this??! I’m not part of your family member la Aunty!) Conclusion, to avoid any form of argument and keep my good image; I didn’t retort back even though my heart so want to do that. You know what i did? I said sorry to the AUNTY. You know how she respond?? She like very shocked that i apologized and then she leaved with her son. WTF…!
Actually I asked the kid to stayed back for a while due to he didn’t pay attention in class, ended up he cannot get his thing done. So I sacrificed my rest time to teach him again, he is not the only one, there are a few kids waiting for me too. Before that, I questioned him whether he is rushing to anywhere and he answered me -No. Then her mother came and scolded me pulak. Alas! I realized, it is hard to be a good teacher. Sigh.
Thus, when I saw the mother waved to me today, I’m like ”Gosh, why I’m so bad luck! what she want again? Scold me? I know I’m going to have another bad Saturday! Aikzzz…I hope I can ran away!” No choice. I walked to her, she smiled at me. I smiled back..wondering what the hell is she smiling for…
YOU KNOW WHAT SHE SAID TO ME??!! YOU WANT TO KNOW??? SO BADLY???
Okay, I tell you. The Sun rises from west man! Surprise! She apologized to me! Do you hear me?! Want me to repeat again?? OKAY, SHE APOLOGIZED TO ME!
Well, I didn’t felt extra happy or excited when she said that, I just felt so relieved don’t know why. It’s like.. Hey! everything is okay now, at least someone know I’m a good teacher. ( Cheh! Perasannya aku!) I started to love my job back.
I told her that it is okay. I didn’t put it in my heart, I actually already forgot about that matter ( Honestly, I already forgotten). I told her that I understand how she worried about her son when she cannot find him. So, everything is fine now. I told her no worries. ( Damn! Since when I learned to say those words! ) She smiled at me happily and still kept apologized how rude she treated me last week. Then I also kept saying “its okay” and “never mind”. Hahaha!
Yes, nothing seems so bad after all.
Good day comes after Bad day…. maybe vice versa. =.=”
Anyway, good day is always feeling so good
