It was indeed a very long day for me today.
I was already at the school compound around 10.15am. A few other parents were already there waiting. Yes, the day that we all had been waiting for…. D Day.
I was seriously nervous. A text message came from Nasreen’s teacher informing me that the results would be out by 11.30am. Wow… more than an hour to go. Nasreen is having an eye infection so the doctor advised her to be quarantined at home… and there I was, waiting for the result on her behalf… and experiencing a total nervous breakdown. I was walking back and forth, my palms were cold and white like The Cullens, I had goose bumps all over… “this is worse that getting married”, I was saying to myself. Lucky to the wonderful (and gelabah) mothers like me – Sha, Riz and CT, I tried to calm down. Later Nik came from office to join me.
More than 1 hour passed by….. when they called Nasreen’s name a few times, I hurriedly ran to the stage in front of the student hall, waving and shouting… here! here! here! ….. macam celebrity nak ambik award lah kata nya… hehehe
When I got to the front, I quickly grabbed the result slip from the Headmistress and turned around to walk away. Slowly, with trembling hands, I found the courage to open the slip… and I couldn’t read the As on the slip. It was so blurry and I tried to count, but later I lost count. I stopped and turned around… I walked back to the group of teachers and asked….. “Cikgu, berapa A ni?” they laughed and shouted…”5A tu… 5A tu.. Tahniah! Tahniah!” my jaw dropped and I said….”Really????” They quickly responded… ”Iyeeee!!!” (they must have thought that I am an illiterate!)… hahaha
Happiness swept me off my feet and I felt like I was walking on air as I walked back to Nik who was standing calmly (forever calm dia ni) at the back of the hall. I was smiling ear to ear, with tears in my eyes. What happened after that… was sweet memories for us. SMSs and calls flooding in and I found that I didn’t have enough fingers to type messages…. Nik was busy making calls too.
Yes, she scored 5As in her UPSR. Thanks to all her teachers and most importantly, thank God for this rezeki. Nasreen did well in this exam and we’re the proudest parents today.
We love you girl!
