Do i have time to know the world? Im wondering, im thinking to myself. Dad pissed off with me for sleeping and watching tv all day, all the time. My dad screamed at me one day, waking me up that lazy afternoon. Sleeping at 3a.m or 5 a.m every day and waking up at 12p.m or 3p.m is a routine. I guess its not normal for a girl,my dad started to list down all the chores a girl should do as a girl. Well, i thought its school holiday,long school holiday in December is very good for sleep as the rains always heavy and the sun always shy to come out to play. So why not just enjoy life,sleeping and rest like king! My mom didnt say anything hearing what my dad nagged. She just kept quiet, i guessed she agreed with dad.
After bath and lunch, i went out to the town. I sat at a playground by a river. It was such very murky water, rubbish, dead branches and wild fruits flowing together to the bank.
I always go to library after i wake up from sleep, its just like my second home. I read many books and magazines. At times, im meeting frens and sharing stories.
“Go and see the world!” My dad said.
What is the difference travel with eyes or legs? Its just that i dont leave home and spend money to pay for fares and facilities. Do i sleep too much that my dad worried im not making frens like other girls? Am dreaming too much that im away from reality? What is it?
I was surprised and i dont know whether to be happy or not that if i dont have money to travel, my dad will be happy to sponsor any trips i want to join. I am ready or not, i just dont know. Mom told her doubt bout my safety travel out alone but dad looking deep into my silly eyes, i still remember he said “never show your weakness, show you are strong and clever then no one will dare to fool you!”
In my heart, am i brave enough to meet the so called world? Is dad trusting me to travel alone? Omg! Am i ready for this ? I am still thinking, am dreaming?
