MEND TO BE BROKEN

Page 3

        It gives the creep every time I hear something like that in a dark places so I run as fast as I can toward home as my heart beats faster and faster. Then I saw our new house in a distance. I stopped from running and start catching my breath then enter the house.

        “Mom! I’m home!” I called for mom as I close the door. But mom didn’t answer back, maybe she already took a sleep. I went to the kitchen to take a dinner, there I saw my mom sleeping while seating on one chair of the dining table set leaning at the dining table. My dinner is placed in front of her covered with another plate.

        I removed the cover of my dinner. I felt the hot steamed air from the covered dinner as if it was just prepared 2 minutes ago. I sat down beside my mom and start digging in and suddenly my mom woke up.

        “Oh. Hey mom.” I greeted her with a smile.

        “Where have you been my dear?” my mom sleepy asked me.

        “Oh… my friends and I attended a party near the beach.” I answered

        “Did you enjoyed the party?” mom asked

        “No, I didn’t join I decided to stay outside.” I answered

        “Why?” mom asked

        “You know I’m not used to those things.” I answered

        “I know but next time try to blend in and besides you need to have fun sometimes. Ok, I’ll go upstairs and sleep, and please lock the door later before you go to your room.” Mom said as she turn back and start walking.

        “Oh, I almost forgot, put the lights off before going to bed and change your clothes ok?” mom remembered

        “Ok. Night mom.” I answered.

        “Good night.” She replied

        After changing my clothes I jumped to my bed to sleep but no matter how hard I try to sleep, I cant. I can feel a smile building up on my mouth and I can’t stop it, I don’t know why?

                . . .

         The next morning I woke up late.

         “Oh son! I thought you have been already gone to school? Why? What happen?” my mom was shock when she saw me going down the stairs.

          “I can’t sleep last night.” I answered

          “Ok, here, have a seat and I’ll prepare your breakfast before going to school.” Mom offered me a seat.

          “Thanks mom.” I said to mom with a smile.

           My mom smiled back to me while preparing my breakfast.
