We luv you mum

Sejak semalam ayahanda sakit kepala. Maybe “heat wave” yang melanda UK dah jangkit ayahanda. Kami keluar sekejap tengahari ke carboot hexham. Balik2 tengok mesej kat wall dari family kat mesia yang bonda ayahanda sakit. Sekarang masih lagi warded.

Ayahanda yang masih sakit kepalanya terus tido kat lantai ruang tamu. Puteri bongsu naik duduk atas perut ayahanda.

“adik.. ” ayahanda bersuara. “your granny is ill..”

“I know” balas puteri. “mummy is crying, auntie linda is crying, everyone is crying”

Ayahanda sambung. “I wish I have enuf money to go back home now. I haven’t seen your granny for 3 and half years”

“I wish I have a new toy” balas puteri.

Ayahanda nampak tersenyum. “I love you baby” dan terus peluk puteri bongsu.

“I love you too daddy”

[Kami semua sayang mak. Semoga mak sihat dan sambut kami balik.. amin]

Si kecik yang selamba

8.40am ayahanda balik kerja baru bukak pintu nak antar putera-puteri ke sekolah. Cuaca hari ni elok, sunny dan nyaman.

"hoorayy.. it's so sunny" jerit puteri bongsu. "i dont have to wear coat today. here! you hold this for me pleaseee". puteri terus bukak jaket dia dan campak kat ayahanda yang blom sempat masuk umah lagi.

"always me. always me. why do i always have to hold things for you?" ayahanda protes.

"because you're my daddy.." balas puteri dengan selamba-mamba.

[Bonda speechless sekejap]

Miss I know all

Ayahanda tgh ralik drive tiba-tiba kuar lagu best kat radio. kata ayahanda;

"best gak lagu ni. mama tau lagu sapa ni?"

"mama pon suka. tapi mama pon dok tau lagu sapa" jawab mama

Ayahanda sambung; "lagu ni bukan baru sangat. dah dengar sokmo pon como dok tau lagu sapa.. "

"It's rihanna!" tiba-tiba puteri bongsu nyampok kat belakang sambil wat selamba.

Ayahanda tengok bonda dengan mata cam terbeliak. bonda angkat bahu.

[Bonda: dont underestimate a 4 yr old]

Puteri bongsu little secret

Bonda dan puteri bongsu kat kedai beli ayam. bonda mmg terperasan sorang budak perempuan india baya puteri tengah asyik pandang puteri bongsu. kejap agi dia dtg dekat dan sapa puteri; "hi.. can we be friends?"

jawab puteri ringkas "yea"

Kemudian dia usap2 rambut puteri atas ke bawah dan sambung; "i like your hair. how do you get your hair brown?"

"i take a shower and shampoo everyday"

[Bonda: next time ada org lain tanya bonda suruh dia tanya puteri sendiri :D]

Daddy's baby

Disuatu ketika dimasa yang lalu:

suatu hari balik sekolah ayahanda tegur puteri bongsu:

"hello baby.. how r u doing today?"

puteri bongsu marah ayahanda:

"stop calling me baby.. i'm a big girl now"

how bout i call you adik?

no adik. i'm big. call me nayli.

ayahanda panjang akal:

"now i'm sad. i don't have any baby anymore. everyone has baby. mami also sad. please be our baby"

puteri pikir sekejap:

"ok. i can be your baby until we go to malaysia? then you can have new baby"

So hari ni:

puteri bongsu merengek2 nak tido:

"mami.. i want to sleep. can u carry me to the bedroom?"

"no. u a big girl now. u can walk to your bedroom"

"but i'm daddy's baby. daddy will be sad if i'm big"

[bonda: sama panjang akalnya]

My best friend Tashuna

"Daddy.. where is my tashuna?" tanya puteri bongsu

"Haaa???" ayahanda blurrr..

"where is my tashuna" ulang puteri sekali lagi.

"haaa???" ayahanda masih blurr.. "what is that?"

"my tashuna.. ta-shu-na! silly daddy" puteri dah mula fed-up.

"mamiii..." ayahanda call talian hayat.

Dari dapur bonda jampuk "kat bawah bottom baby kot"

"yeyy.. found it! my stinky tashuna.. hmm.. hmm.. hmm" jerit puteri sambil tak renti-renti cium bantal busuk banga dia.

[Bonda: nama manja best fren baby]
