That One Moment of Motherhood

That moment when you’re having a bad headache, 

yet busy putting on your hijab in order to 

fetch your daughter from school, 

there’s this little man whom 

pushing his way in front of you, 

before the makeup table, moving along his tiny hands 

around all the things there. 

He’s so fast you couldn’t catch his hands in time. 

Now you’re just staring at an opened and rattled, 

of your lipstick’s mini drawer, 

and as your eyes moving forward, 

there’s a bottle of one of your foundation, 

without it’s cap on, at the edge of the table. 

So, automatically you turn around at the little man 

which is now standing still by the door of your room.

He’s just quickly vanished himself 

from the room as your eyes met. 

With that bad headache, 

of course you’re not smiling at that time.

Felt a bit mad and since the headache is 

really killing you, so, 

you just rushed to the front door 

and started the engine, 

decided to just left him playing with his toys, 

with his dad there to look after him. 

As you reverse the car, you can see him looking at you 

by the grill, with such sad face, and then 

bursting to tears a bit before he went back inside. 

Ahh your heart’s a bit unsettled, 

hence, you stop the car and go to that front door. 

So there he is, sitting there in front of his toys 

with his back in front of you, 

and with his head down, 

it’s like he knew, 

he don’t get to follow you because 

of what he did earlier. 

His dad then make him apologised to you, 

then you just carry him with you to the car, 

together, fetching his sister.

How can you stay mad, 

while looking at his cute little back 

and round head, and his face, his eyes, 

his smells, ahh you just melt! 

And of course, 

it’s kinda funny when he just ran out 

of the room that moment earlier. 

TBH, he always did that, 

but, it’s still always funny and cute 

at the end though. 

Ahh you’ll always make ones smile, little man.
