I've been knowing this kid for quite some time.
This kid i know, he doesn't talk much.
He's not really tall compared to kids of his age.
Okay, so there's something i know about this kid's life yesterday.
Ever since his grandpa's sudden death, his grandma's been acting strangely,
She dare not live in her house.
She says she's afraid.
Initially, she slept with the kid.
Next, the boy's grandma moved.
Moved to her daughter's place.
And now,
she's currently staying with her sister.
So, the thing the boy's confused is,
What's she so afraid of?
Is she being afraid of her own husband?
What the....
Yesterday, the grandma claimed that she had totally forgotten to bring lunch for the child's younger siblings - a 10-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl who were at school waiting for her.
She had also forgotten to pick the twins up at the bus stop, and hence both of them walked back.
Furthermore, she had forgotten what time she should pick the kid up...
The kid was thus worried about his grandma,
afraid that she'll have as she can't accept her husband's death...
And so,
When she asked the boy what time to pick the boy up,
The boy answered "No Need"
"Nevermind, i can fetch you before 5pm~"
"I think it'll be later than 5pm...So it doesn't matter, i'll come back myself tomorrow"
"Emm... I think i can make it, so you'll call me when you're ready, right?"
"Errrr... There isn't such need, my friend will send me home..=]"
"Oo... Your friend'll send you home, then ok la~"
In his heart, he's apologizing silently to his grandma for lying.
As he knows there isn't any friend who's gonna send him back.
And so,
The boy walked home today.
What a tiring journey.
He started by looking at his black, 5-year-old Casio watch.
It took the boy some time to read the time, and finally, he saw it.
4.48pm
Mentally, he was already tired.
Without further delay, he took off.
Around 5pm, he reached O.K. Tuck restaurant.
The boy was already perspiring under the blazing hot cruel Sun.
At a 5meters-wide road, he was at.
Yet, all of a sudden, a familiarly girlish, yet aged voice was heard from the opposite road side.
The boy turned up his head and looked towards the direction the voice was made.
"O.M.G. What the hell is grandma doing here????"
Analysed the surroundings,
determined that his grandma was picking some vegetables and was asking the price.
Without a word,
he turned his head back straight and fast-walk, LIGHT SPEED!
He quickly made a left turn, into an alley,
just in case if his grandma took that way back.
He then walked the quiet alley which cars rarely use.
Passed by the old kindergarten/children's daycare center he used to go till primary 5. Nostalgically, he looked at it.
And walked past it, made a right turn, back into the main road.
Fast-walking was quite impossible anymore,
as he was struggling up a long-long slope.
His bag on his back, was a real burden now,
even though it wasn't heavy at first,
now he felt it.
His legs ached, calling for a Time-Out.
Ignorant as he always was, he ignored them all,
he was really afraid that his grandma would be behind him any time.
And he'll be flooded with questions if she saw him.
And she'll be sad and angry of her grandson,
to be a liar,
to bluff his grandma.
Phew, the uphill journey ended,
and now,
it's downhill...
Wohoooo~~~~
Energy level - normal,
Systems all green.
START UP.
He sprinted down the slope,
and rang the bell.
The black watch clocked at 5.06pm.
Gasping for air,
Still carrying out anaerobic respiration.
Time needed to remove total lactic acid:
20 minutes.
