Wait, wait and wait
I am left alone, every child goes home. Ms. Yu is doing something of her own in a next room, but I know she can see me through the window. She lets me watch TV and wait for my mom or daddy.
Mom has not come yet, I know it must be Mom. She is always late. And she always tells me, “I am sorry for being late, but, you know, due to traffic”. The reason is always by traffic.
Does mom love me? Sure she does, I think. When I make my mom angry, I know if I say, mom, do you still love me? She would answer, “Yes, my precious, I love you so much, and the love is unchangeable”, or if I complain, mom, you do not hug me today, and I knew mom hugged me already. Then mom gives me another warm hug, and forgets her anger.
Ms. Yu comes from her room and says to me, “Has your Mom come, Lisa? Oh, not yet. Help yourself and watch the cartoon for a little while. Good girl, your mom will come soon.” I know my mom will come, she told me many times, if she were late, that is due to some reasons. But one thing is certain, she will come, even it is so very late. Yes, when night comes, the sun goes down, birds go to nest, and each baby will go home with mom or daddy. Sure those boarding boys or girls are exceptional. They sleep at kindergarten during night. Their mom or dad picks up them only in Wednesday and Friday. I never want to sleep in kindergarten , and mom agrees with me. So mom will come. But mom has yet come at the moment .
I have a secret to tell my mom today. When Mom comes, she always asks me, “My Precious, how are you today?” if I say so-so, she would ask me why it is so-so, why not happy? I am very happy today. I have made a new friend; I will let my mom know. She will be glad for me. I will also ask her to keep it in secret, between mom and me, not dad.
Mom comes. I am leaving.
