a mother who's the only sole breadwinner since the death of her husband had been working as a cleaner. she raised her son till he graduated from nus with her cleaner's salary as well as her savings. her son had done her proud when he became a doctor. finally, her hard work had paid off. however, in spite of her son's big salary, she still wanted to continue working as a cleaner. initially, her son was fine with her decision. but when he got married, he disallowed his mother to work. his reason: his deary wife was embarrassed of having a cleaner as her mother-in-law. the mother still insisted to work. her son, whom she'd been sacrificed a lot, chased her out from his house.

idiot, dumb, stupid, unfaithful, dayus, !@#$%^&*+=!!! i would love to curse him a lot but i've promised to myself not to use explicit bad words. but i'm cursing inside. ironic. well, what should i say about that guy? whatever. my mom's family is having a kinda similar problem. since the death of my first aunt(May Allah s.w.t. Bless her soul), true colours of my mom's siblings are shown. my late first aunt was single and she'd been living with my grandma. the now question: who's taking care of my grandma. in islam, the son(s) is supposed to take care of his mother. as the head of the family, he has the right to order his wife to attend to his mother. unfortunately, almost all of my mom's brothers tend to listen to their beloved wives. there leave the daughters. so, currently, my grandma(nenek) is living with one of my aunts, who has 5 kids. ok, i'm not going to criticise my aunts and uncles. it's just that i pity nenek. come on. she has 12(ok, now 11) children. ain't it that difficult for them to attend to nenek. my mom would like to let her stay with us. but we've rahman who's still a baby. and what about my uncles who are supposed to take care of nenek?

my mom used to ask me what'll happen to her when she's old. when she's just alone. my sisters and i may get married and we've to follow our hubbies. as if i can get married. but now, there's rahman. he must carry his responsibilities. but we, daughters, have to play our parts too. but i tell my mom that i won't get married. then, i'll take care of her. she said no. she wants grandchildren. gosh, why am i talking about marriage when i'm still not 17?! crap.
