Gulf's POV

--------------------------------------

I knew it was hard taking care of a child, but it was much harder, well I'm glad that he was accepted into the kindergarten, but I also had to learn how to cook breakfast and dinner for him, how to supervise him at home, teaching him, playing with him so he won't feel lonely and many other things.

From all of that, my greatest challenge was cooking, I did learn a few things from my mother before I started university since I live far from home and had to live alone but what I learned is not appropriate at all to a child, so on weekends I would either call my mother or follow some online recipes to cook a healthy meal for Kusa.

It helped me a lot that Kusa isn't a picky eater and enjoy everything I prepare, still it took me more than half a year to get much better at cooking, I failed a lot, burned a lot of food and sometimes I ended up taking him out for dinner but now I can say that I did a good job, I even surprised myself.

For my son, he was sad and kept his distance from everyone in his class at the beginning, his teacher told me that he even refused to talk to her and would come to my class and hide behind me however slowly he got pulled by the atmosphere the other kids created, especially the events that we organize helped him open up to his classmates and he started having fun like any normal kid.

Seeing him smile and running around made me delighted and glad, he was so obedient that I was worried, he never asked for anything, he stay still close to me being afraid that I may leave him and that won't ever happen, I assured him so many times that I will stay with him for a very long time, after a few months he relaxed and started to be himself.

Every day is hectic thanks to him, I get so tired, not only taking care of my boy but also cleaning the house and doing the laundry took the better of me but I won't give up, they say children grow up quickly and for now no matter how exhausting and hard things may get I'm going to enjoy every minute with him.

I'm thankful that my parents helps me too, at first Kusa refused to go with them and stayed stuck to me from the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep but slowly he got used to them and he even calls them grandpa and grandma, on weekends when they are free they will take him so I can rest a little and do all chores at ease and it saved me a lot.

This year, he was assigned to my class and he was overjoyed, seeing him happily playing and talking normally with other kids makes me smile a lot, I don't know why I got attached to Kusa this much, he became a part of my life and I can't imagine living without him anymore..

"we had so much fun on Saturday, I drank so much that I couldn't wake up the next day" P' Kiet came closer to me while watching the kids playing outside

"I told you to stop but you wouldn't listen"

"yeah I regret it, but with the beautiful girls surrounding us and pouring me glasses I couldn't reject them"

"I understand it's hard especially for you"

"I just want to hurry and find a girlfriend"

"love can't come in a hurry, just go with the flow until you find real love"

"that's rich coming for you who never dated before"

"I did! During high school"

"and how much did it last?"

"3 months" he laughed making me a little embarrassed, it's true I've never really dated, even that time during high school was basically going on a few dates or walking her home, I didn't love her but when she confessed I couldn't find a reason to reject her so I just went with the flow, she tried seducing me and inviting me to her room wearing light clothes but I never paid her any attention that's when I realized that loving someone is a special thing and won't happen with anyone.
