taken for granted-not!

*mum would never read this
so im safe =P*

i was waiting for her as usual
at the usual spot
she’s usually on time
yet there was no sign of her
instead he picked me
saying she was sick

worry set in
how was she?
was she alright?
where was she?
what was she doing?
how sick was she that she couldn’t pick me?

got back
only to find her
lying in bed
burning up ridiculously high
she slept until evening

he brought her to the clinic
was worried if it was the flu
thank God it wasn’t

she came home
plopped onto bed
couldn’t get up
to make things worse
her back started acting up

as i fed her her cold porridge
she was wincing in pain
biting back her pain and tears
i watched silently
helpless at what to do

ive never seen her like that
to have pain etched in her features
unable to even eat
to silently sob into the pillow
so as to not worry us

i left her there to sleep
trying not to worry about her
placed her phone beside her
telling her what she always tells me
”call me if anything, im just a door away”

as she slept
i did what i don’t usually do
washed the dishes
picked up someone
took in the clothes

at 12
she walks out
looking better than before
slight fever
she finished the bowl of her porridge
i finished the rest

guess what she did?
especially after she just recovered
- she ate chocolate!

that made me feel a whole lot better! =)
so yea, she’s better now

*she just woke up again to take panadol
fever’s striking back again* =(
