Be responsible lah

Hari ni pagi-pagi dah dikejutkan oleh my neighbour nak tumpangkan anak dia Clara kat rumah saya. My neighbour ni ada hal sikit kebelakangan ni. Actually Janet and her husband is having problem. I guess marriage problem. So Jen selalu ditinggalkan oleh her husband. and she has 2 little babies. clara who is 3 y.o and the younger one is Harry who is few months old. Pity sangat.

Recently saya tak nampak the husband balik rumah and Jen left all alone to take care of the children. The husband took their car with him so Jen has no transport. Dia pergi kerja naik bas and last week pulak pengasuh the children who is also our neighbour balik kampung sebab her mother sakit. so no one to take care of the children bila Jen nak pergi kerja.

She has to close her eyes hantar Harry ke rumah her mother in law who doesnt like Jen at all. You can imagine it. The husband left her and the in laws are happy with that. Tapi sebab anak-anak tak ada tempat nak ditinggalkan bila dia pergi kerja, dia terpaksa hantar ke rumah in laws jugak walaupun orang tua tak suka dan belum tentu mereka jaga the children baik-baik. clara sometimes tak nak pergi rumah nenek dia. when a 3 y.o kid tak suka grandparents we can imagine how she has been treated by them.

So sometimes bila nampak Jen termenung kat depan rumah saya akan tanya. rasa sedih atas apa yang berlaku pada dia. she is young only few years older than me. tapi terpaksa melalui hidup macam tu. so, saya akan suruh Jen tinggalkan clara dengan saya saja sekiranya saya tak ke mana-mana.

And this morning at about 7 am Jen call saya minta nak tinggalkan clara dengan saya sekejap sebab Harry demam dan dia nak hantarkan ke klinik. dia dah panggil teksi masa tu cuma nak tumpangkan clara saja. Sedih sangat tengok keadaan Jen. I can't be that strong rasanya. Kalau saya di tempat dia tentu lah saya dah jatuh.

Clara is a sweet clever girl. walaupun baru 3 tahun tapi dia dah act macam budak 5,6 tahun. talkative, humble. but she was born with cleft lip. bibir dia sumbing. i didnt know and never asked Jen why she has not go under surgery untuk betulkan bibir dia. but i hope it is never too late to do that because she has to have a brighter future. she cant grow up like that.

so, i prepare breakfast utk clara. bagi dia makan cereal dia tak nak then saya buatkan dia roti bakar sapu mentega. dan secawan milo. saya on kan channel ceria dan dia makan sambil tengok tv. so sweet bila dia jerit-jerit tunjuk kartun kat tv. she called me NANA. Jen called me yanna and clara tries to call me yanna juga tapi jadi nana. ha ha.

Then yaya joined us watched tv sampailah pukul 11 lebih Jen balik dan ambil clara balik rumah. lepas tu saya ada ke rumah Jen tengok Harry macamana. he is still got fever and flu. hope he will get well soon. Jen macam senyap saja. she doesnt talk much. mungkin dia risau sangat. i hope that i can assist her anytime she needs help.

I feel so frustrated with Jen's husband. A man shouldn't do like that. he should be more responsible. at least to the children. kalau tak ada anak lain lah sikit. tapi the children are too small to understand. oh pleaseee....don't behave like that. you won't know how hurt a woman can feel when you leave her like that.

Godd dem ittt. i am so upset.
