Since 2009, either me or hubby or at times Atok have been sending eldest boy, Izz, to his weekend tuition which is at Admiralty Link, located just Admiralty MRT. From then on, he kept bugging me, "Ibu, abang dah besar. Bila abang boleh go tuition myself?" Whenever he bring up tis subject, i will jus say, "Nanti lah, bila abang dah primary 3, baru you can go alone."
So beginning of this year, he asked me the same question again, "Ibu.... abang dah Primary 3. So can i start going tuition alone?"
As a mum, its hard for me to let him go by himself and in my eyes, he'z always a baby to me. And whenever he ask me the same question, i turned speechless.
Why?
Is it becos Momma is afraid that there are some "SICK" people wandering in the streets. Especially when i read recent news about innocent children being kidnapped, molested and killed... OMG! What's happening to the world?
Jus don't know untill when i must have this kinda worries. When i recalled my path life as a small kid, my mum too let go of me, to cycle to school when i was Primary 3. Jus imagine, from Tanjung Irau i cycled to Sembawang Primary School which is located at the Sembawang Park. Phhuuuh... and my mum gave me the trust to hold the house key when i was Primary 4, so that i don't have to wait for my other siblings to come back home to get into my house. I tink, at one stage, she too did have such worries but she have to learn to trust me and train me to be independant.
So..... last weekend, with an open heart, i set my boy free. I gave him my permission to go off for his weekend tuition all by himself. The moment he stepped his foot out from our home, i non stop recite prayers for his safe journey.
I got worried when he didnt call me to say that he has safely reached the centre but in my heart kept saying, i know he will be fine.
At 2.25pm, my hp rang and the centre number reflected on my screen. Out came a little voice, "Ibu.... abang dah nak balik. Sorry tadi abang tak call cos i went straight to my class. See you ok."
When i heard his voice, you know how lega hati seorang ibu is.....
So now, i tot of purchasing a "basic" handphone for my boy ONLY for weekend use, so that he can text me when he reaches the centre and getting ready to depart from centre.
Wat do you tink?
samalah zue dulu i kecik2 dah pegi sch sendiri but when it cmes to our kids, kita jadi takut pulak. tak sangka eh iz dah P3.

syabas to both ibu & son for braving it through! he can do it la, continue with mum's prayers n insya'allah he will b ok
Ohhh ur anak skola Andalus kat Admiralty? Good good...
ReplyDeleteA'ah, tu ler I.Z yang selekeh pi tuition. tak abis2 ngan baju bola wif his sling bag. Jalan macam berg-berg... hahahhaha
A'ah ler nyah, slowly letting him go alone. Takut tu, bedek kalau aku cakap aku tak takut but i really doa banyak2 mintak perlindungan Allah so that he will be in His safe hands. Mula2 nak letak tuition kat Blk 888 but sebab aku pikir long term, budak kena naik turun bas, tu pasal aku letak dia tuition kat Learning Vision jer :)
