Today I'm not going to write matters related to English but just want to share a happy mother's feeling towards a grown up son. My son, Ashraff Sany has just registered in Foundation of Engineering Course at UiTM Puncak Alam . Being my eldest son, this gives me the first experience being away from him for quite a long time . Ya...he has been away from family for almost 2 months ! 2 months that I feel like 2 years ...and hardly describe how much the family and I miss him. Hardly believe to see my husband is much more "in blues' than I . Almost everynight he calls Ashraff to ask his condition and his new experience over there. Now, after I and a half months past, things are getting much better. We are more adaptable to the situation, so do my other children,Alya,Ilya,Ihsan and Isqhandar . No more everyday calls, no more night sobbing and no more blues .
2 days ago, I got a call f
rom Ashraff informed me that he had received the allowance from Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi amounted about RM1600.00. He said that he is going to pay the hostel fee of about 400 with the money . I advised him to spend wisely and be grateful for getting the money. He convinced me not too worry too much of him as he knew what's best for him and he said he had grown up and mature enough.
After isyak prayer last night I heard message beeping tone from my Nokia handset . I didn't get the phone straight away as I wanted to finish folding my 'telekung'(prayer attire)and need to put it back nicely at its place . Then, slowly I picked up my phone which was on my bed to check my inbox message . The message was from Ashraff . This is what he wrote : Salam Ummi, hope you are fine. I've just transfered RM200 into your account.Have you received? I was so shocked to see the message! Hardly describe my feeling at that time,unbelievable...elated...touched,everything mixed-up !
I didn't call him instantly,instead I replied his message asking what's the money for? Again what he answered,deeply touched my mother's feeling and at the same time I was very thankful to GOD for granting a grateful son like him. This is what he wrote to me : Umi, the money is for you.Sorry,not much.For you to use for daily spending and for 'adik2"(younger brothers & sisters)....
What makes me happy and thankful is not because of getting money but my son's attitude and his sense of responsibility. For me, his allowance is his pocket money to spend for studies and his daily food. In fact, with today's cost of living that amount would be not enough to spend for 3-4 months. Anyhow I really appreciate his gift and sincere thought to me. I will never stop praying for my son's success and hope to be a success mother too ! I do believe this is the same prayer of all other mothers too...
To all children,please be reminded : Once making your mother happy ,GOD grants you with full of blesses and success.
