Assalamualaikum and Hi!
Oh well, the perk of being an educator is when you're on a school break too, together with your pupils. But not gonna mention about kids here lol. This teacher really needs a break, not thinking about works obviously.
So, my holidays start on Saturday evening as my flight was on that day. 😖 On the very last minute, Dad called off their plan on having a short break to my sister's place; and I have to make a last minute flight booking which I got the 'best' deal only on Saturday evening. *meh*
Anyways, I'm home now and tomorrow, I have to leave again; early morning, we have to be on the road by 9 a.m. to my sister's place. Yes guys, there goes my holiday, my plans are all scattered on the floor. Well, literally. I was planning on baking a few cakes and trying out some new recipes but ... (you know what I'm gonna say. Do you?)
That night, upon arriving home near midnight (approximately 11 p.m) I went straight to see my babylove, Faaeq Aisy Anaqi (my nephew) and gomol-gomol him and melepas geram dan rindu lol. There goes my mom guys...... starting her muqaddimah.
Mom: How old are you again? You are 1993's kid, ait?
(Pardon me, of course my mom spoke in our mother tongue. Later I tulis betul-betul our language, you won't understand it lol. So, here I translate it to you, k)
Me: 25. Why?
Mom: Haaa.. boleh la you kahwin.
Me: Hah?
Mom: Yaaa.. because you're 25 dah. I still remember your nenek said bla bla bla...
Me: *trying to digest what had my mom said* Mak... when I had a boyfriend, Mak tak bagi kahwin. Now, I takde boyfriend suddenly cakap I dah boleh kahwin.
Mom: Because you're 25 and your nenek cakap, perempuan if dah 25 tahun bla bla bla..
*like seriously mom?*
Me: I don't have a boyfriend, Mak.
*and continue gomol my nephew and changing the topic*
This issue might be a normal issue to most of you guys. But, lemme clarify a few things here.
First thing first, my mom or my dad or both my parents neverrrrrrr... talk about something like this to us. In a serious situation, and seriously mean what they say. What I can say is, thinking of my mom saying this thing seems unreal for me. I still in disbelief lol pinch me please!
Secondly, I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND. Yet. Since my previous relationship. So.. this issue is stressing me out. In other word, I don't know how to react and how to feel guys. Maybe if I am still in a relationship, I might jump in joy and calling the guy to bawak his parents to come over and do all that jazz idk guys what do they do before kahwin? Merisik berpantun bersyair bersajak lol please shall we just proceed and just officiate the relationship? - yaaa..I'm that cool kid, I don't really prefer the step by step of the adat. I want it direct to the point. 😀😛
However, in this kind of life status that I'm having now, I feel a bit sad & stress. I can easily like people, but to love them, take the whole effort for me. It's not about trial and error thing, it's about a lifelong thing. Bukan main ambik sebarang then kalau tak ngam boleh buang. 😧
Thirdly, I tak banyak cakap when my mom said this. I was speechless and surprised at the same time. Why? See the first thing I highlighted above. Now that I remember about this thing, I regret that I didn't ask about any term and condition from my mother. lol.
If she tak letakkan syarat and serahkan everything to me, then, I'm good. If I do have one that I want; and suddenly criteria tak menepati, means I have to work on this. Hahahaha. But please guys, my mom isn't that "mak-mak dalam drama slot Akasia, Jam 7 petang TV3" k because I believe, every mom wants the best for their children. If bersyarat pun bukan nak mintak hati nyamuk 7 dulang pun hiks.💚
So maybe I should've asked her about calon menantu yang macam mana diluluskan. LOL
In all seriousness, I love my mom. She's so cute & slumber je cakap "umur dah 25, boleh la kahwin"
Okay cabaran disahut. I'm in!
💪
