it's not about the money,money,money...
Money..wat is money??
Mum has been busy finding money day and night that without her realising she's neglected her children.I still remember when i was young,mum would drive her van to her work place with me and little brother sleeping behind of the van with two matress laid for us.When mum is in the shop,the back door of the van wud be open for air to come in so me and little brother wun't be hot and as a little girl,i wud constantly peek at mum in the van when she's doing her work.As young as 11,i've been helping mum at her shop.And as young as 7,dad left mum.
Doing a catering business is like earning big bucks in no time.But somehow or rather i see no point in having thoes big bucks in ur hand and ur family is upside down on the other hand.Honestly,when i deliver food during the weekends,i cry in my heart.Not because i'm reluctant to help.I cry because i cant study when others are at home studying.I cry because others are spending time with their family whereas there i am at mummy shop facing the heat,controlling my emotions while being hurl vulgarities at times.And i also cry for mummy,because while i see other mummys spending time with their children,there my mummy is slogging off to find money.
Mum is rich and i mean way too rich and i wonder why is she still working so hard to find more money.I can say it's unfair to her and me and my siblings..It's time for her to retire,it's time for her to settle down,spent time with the family and shower herself with lots of luxuries..And if she does so,my siblings and i can also spent time with her and we can do our things..But that's not the case.money.money.money is all in her mind.she's too obsessed with money and i cant say i yearn the REAL love a mother wud give to their children.For i'm robbed of it since young,i've never really felt wat it's like to sit next to mum,joke with her,spent time with her,laugh with her and do everything with her and thinking about it just hurt so bad.
This is one of the main reason why i wanna study hard,get a good education,good career so i can break out of this.I'm tired and i pity mum and little brother.For little brother always have to hep mum with me during the weekends without fail.I told myself that when i have a family one day,i wun neglect my family especially my children.For as a child,i how how it feels like to be robbed of a parent's love.It's something that one cant imagine.It just hurt so bad thinking about it.And i thought when i have that special someone in my life,the love that i've lost since young wud be filled once again.But i guess it's false hope.What passed nothing can ever make up to it.Whats more,he has his own family to care for..Ouh well,wat more can i ask for??i shud have gotten used to not being loved since young but somehow or rather i'm still in search for the love that i've lost.
Tired,yes i'm very-very tired.my weekends are burnt helping mummy out at the shop.Sometimes till night when it's busy.Even if i were to meet boyfrend,we'll meet in the evening for a short while.On monday,i have school from 9-6 in the evening and when i come back,i have religious class till 10.30pm afterwhich i'll be too tired to study that i head to bed straight.On tuesday i end school at 2pm and when i get home,i take a short nap and after which have my religious class again till 8.30pm.On wednesday i end school at 3pm but when i get home,by then i'll be extremely exhausted.So,i'll have a goood long lost nap if not i'll study...On thursday stat school at 9 till 6 in the evening and again by then i'll be too tired to study,even if i were to study,not much goes into my mind.On friday,i end school at 4pm..that is the day where i can really sit down and study for by then i'll no longer be exhausted.This are roughly my schedule at times i would put in some time for driving lesson and also boyfrend despite thoes busy and tiring schedule.
Mum is someone whom i daren't go against.Studies is something that im working hard for,to give me a good and secured future in time to come.Religious class is something which i hope one day it will lead me back to the right path.Boyfrend is someone whom i hope one day understands me in and out and would be able to lend me his sholuders and be there during time when i need him the most.That's the reason why my schedule every week is so packed.For all of them matters to me..mum,studies,religious class,boyfrend.
I really envy those family whom can spent their weekends together happily and go for holiday or picnic or any outing as planned.I also envy this someone,kak Maria my cousin.She's a fine pretty and elegant white lady.She doesnt have high education just till her N's.But her life now is...She got married when she's 23,have a child when she's 24..She dated her husband when she was 18 for 5 years before they got married.Her husband gave her a good life.They have a shelter over their head,a car to drive them around and the little one.They lead a simple and happy life though they are not rich.Besides that,kak Maria is also not working,her husband is the one whom is providing the family..Which i find kak Maria a lucky person to be with him..They always have family time during the weekends,go off for a holiday...What im trying to say is,wat is money??When u cant buy the love and the time that u cud have spent with ur family..
Well for now,i hope that when i have a family one day...It'll just be as simple as this...I dont ask to be shower with luxuries,i dont ask for a big car to drive,i dont ask for a big house to live in..All i ask for is...the love..which money cant buy...
Insya'allah.Amin.
An also a family which i've envy-ed.My boyfrend family.They live an average life and they are so close and happy together.Even to the extend when boyfrend is with his family,he can not message me the WHOLE day!!!gggrrrhhh..But still,i try to accomodate as i love seeing him spending time together with his family member..I've lack all those feeling that he has..And at times it just hurt when i tot i cud get the love which i never had since young to be showered from him but i just dont get it..I can say he's more to his family..yeap,which at times make me feel like as though i'm an extra in his life.At times i just want him to be with me but that's selfish because..just because i lack the family love which i never had since young till now,that doesnt give me the permission to rob him of his to..And i really admire how his parents brought them up.
Well,all in all,i hope few years down the road,when i have a career and a family..Everything would change...
Insya'allah.amin.
