Under the tree, I always went there. There was a swing. Sometimes I played there alone. I don't have a brothers and sisters. It's only me. Sometimes I felt sad since I want to have a playmates but no one. We didn't have also a neighbors.
Sometimes I played with our dogs and cats. Sometimes I played with my mother too. She raised me alone. I was thankful because she always there for me since I was still a baby even my father didn't with us. She work hard for me. Everytime she had a work she always bring me. She did a laundry, cleaning the house and in the garden while me waiting there. She did her best since she wanted me to go to school.
I wake up in the morning, I saw my mom outside the house. She was busy planting vegetables and herbal plants. I was really lucky to have a mom like her.
"Cheng good morning!"
Mom greeted me while watching her. I didn't noticed she saw me already. I greeted her back.
"Come on Cheng! It's time for breakfast."
Mom always prepared my favorite breakfast. She cooked me an eggs and veggies from her garden. She gave me a milk too. After that, mom and I went to a river to wash our clothes. Mom was really a hardworking person. My mom was the best. I help her washing a clothes in a little way but she refused.
"Cheng just sit there. I can do this. Our clothes are a little bit heavy."
I played only in the water after that I help mom hanging the clothes. I was the one who gave her. We rest a bit in the house at small living room. I played there while mom listening a radio. Sometimes mom could slept there also. She was really tired that's why. I let my mom sleep while I was busy playing my toys. When mom awakes already. She walked straight to the kitchen to cook our lunch. Mostly our viands during lunch was veggies. It was really delicious. My mom was the best when it comes for cooking.
The day came, it was my first day of school. I saw my mom's face was really excited. She looks really happy even me too. I was really excited. Mom always saying a beautiful words to me. We went our school. We need to walk there early since it was 30 minutes before we reach our school. We live a little bit far in town. Mom always packed our foods for our lunch.
When we arrived there already. I saw my classmates. I felt happy seeing them. Mom waiting me outside our room until my class was done. It was only a half day. We finished at 11:30 am then after we went to a small cottage near our school to eat our lunch. Mom asked me a permission that she will buy something.
"Cheng wait me here, okay? Stay there. I need to buy something important."
"Yes mom."
When mom walk already, a few minutes there was an old man passed there. I was really scared since he was staring at me. I was really nervous. He stared at me 3 minutes. I don't know why. Until he walk already.
My nervousness was totally gone when I saw mom near already. I told mom that I saw an old man passing there and he stared at me. Mom was nervous too and she was curious then we decided to went home. When we were done our lunch then decided to went our room. Mom gave me a blanket and pillow. She sang at me so that I could sleep but I awake since I dream the old man. I hugged my mom because I was really scared.
At tomorrow morning, it was time for school again. I wake up early. I took a bath while mom busy at cooking our breakfast. After I was done, I went to our table to eat our breakfast then mom packed our lunch again.
"Cheng you need to be ready. We're going to school now a few minutes."
We went again 30 minutes. When we reached our school. Mom went to the comfort room and I saw the old man again. Everytime mom wasn't there he always appeared. I was really scared since he stared me again and walk after.
"Why he staring at me?"
When mom was there already. I told her again that I saw an old man. She look around and see nothing. Mom told me to went inside since our teacher was already there then we were going to start our class. Mom smiled at me, kiss my forehead so my frightful self back to normal again.
To be continue...
This is only a fictional story.
