Have you thought of taking your own life?
Have you harmed yourself?
Do you embrace yourself?
Did you meet good friends?
Ahh... The last question for you
Do you believe in God?

The buzzer rang, screaming to wake the girl that groaned from the noises. She quickly grabs the buzzer and turns it off. She yawns — tangled her hairs as she scratches her back. 'Ah, another miserable morning'. It is 05.30 am in the morning and she has to wake up early to make some breakfast and pray.
"Alisha, have you prayed already?" I turned my head toward the voices. My mom always asked the same questions even she saw me taking wudu. I took the wudu* and prayed, do the routine and as usual. My mom never set me free. She always called my name. Right, it is annoying until I want to scream out of my lungs.
===================
"ALISHA!"
Oh dear, that was loud, I shake my head as I really dislike the way my mom called me out of the blue. She was crossed her arms and glares at me. Urgh, must be something wrong.
"Yes, Ibu?" I asked. She frowns... ahh that's not a good sign. I am bout to rest in peace.
"You know why I called you?" she asked me. I was afraid and hesitate to reply that but if I stay silent she will burst out more.
"..No" I replied her, simple and easy to understand. She must be furious just looking at her face.
"How many times I told you, cook the rice, cook the rice, cook the RICE" she repeated it three times.
"And yet you didn't do it?! What are you doing earlier? Always with your games!!!"
"I am not playing games, Ibu. I have online classes. That's why—" she cut my speech for damn sake.
"Excuses, look at your little sister. She is way better than you. She also has an online class but she can do whatever I asked and yet you as the older sister can't?" Ah, I don't like this. I can't even control my face.
"Ibu, let me cook the rice then" I surrender, too many to listen to her nagging and yet she kept nagging the same thing. That I delayed cooking rice. This issue could bring for days.
