strict-y

i woke up and saw fatin doing wordsearch.
it was already 8.05am.
puzzled, i asked her why she didn't attend school.

she didn't want to answer.
after numerous questioning,
she replied that she had lost a page of her maths' worksheet
and she is afraid that her teacher might punish her.

poor fatin.
i went ballistic and started nagging at her.
i think i yelled at her.
i did helped her search for the paper but it was futile.
it was nowhere to be found.

i asked her to get changed to her school uniform and go to school.
she hesistant.
by then it was 8.35am.
she already miss one period of mathematics.
i wrote a letter to explain why she was late.

after calming myself down,
i realised i was tough on her.
but then again,
as an elder sister i need to discipline her.
i can't afford her to just skip school just for a piece of paper,
as it will become a habit next time.
just for the paper,
her whole day of knowledge is wasted.

when i got back,
i asked her how it went.
she got away with punishment and teacher said "silly girl"
maybe she saw how red and watery my sister's eyes were.

i felt so tired after attending a day of orientation talks.
i don't want to know how is it when school starts.

i woke up receiving a lovely sms from the partner.
the ones that i kept reading it over and over again.
thank you sweetheart.
i know i'm in for a good future with you.
