Arrghh..
Aku sekarang di rumah bonda. Lama gak aku pujuk Samurai bagi aku relax di sini. Yesterday memang dah maximum capacity aku untuk berada di Sawah.
It's not that aku ni pekan sangat. Uptown lagilah bukan. Tapi being there was just stressful. Maybe it was not the location. Maybe it is just because I'm not cut out for the whole housewife thing. Macam bosan gilanya rutin works. Nothing, I mean nothing was unpredictable.
Aku bangun pagi. Salam Samurai pergi kerja. Basuh kain. Minum kopi for breakfast. Makan ubat. Sapu rumah. Jemur kain. Cook lunch. Samurai balik. Lunch. Samurai pergi kerja balik. Lepak depan TV tgk dongeng kat TVtiger. Angkat kain. Lipat kain. Mandi. Samurai balik. Cook dinner or reheat leftovers. Dinner. TV. Tidur.
Every single day. Kot nasib baik sikit lauk habis and dapatlah aku pergi pasar for groceries. Luckily, Samurai understood my independent streak and allow me to drive around whenever I need. Unfortunately pula my physical condition at this moment tak berapa membenarkan aku drive far and away. But at least I was able to strech my legs a bit.
But yesterday memang aku dah cannot take it anymore. Berjurai air mata aku cal Samurai kat tempat kerja nak balik rumah Ibu. I'm willing to drive back. Agaknya kesian, agaknya bosan, he took a half day leave, drive me balik, and balik semula ke Sawah.
"Duduklah sini sampai Baby tenang. dah okay Abang datang ambik ek? Abang faham. Tak selesa ek duduk sana."
Hari aku tak cook lunch for Samurai. Rasa lainlah plak. Instead cooking for Ibu and Sendut. Macam dulu-dulu. But lain.
One day here aku dah rasa okay sikit. Ibu pun call tadi. "Biasa Along kat sana hari0hari call Ibu. Hari tak call pulak. Ok dah?"

Rumah kampung, toilet di luar. Koridor yang membahagi rumah dan toilet, dipenuhi taik ayam. Selipar yang aku letak dekat pintu as alas kaki, parents in-law aku letak nun jauh di pagar. Jangan letak depan pintu. Kotor kalau pakai selipar kat sini. Itulah punca aku menangis. Nak pergi toilet nanti kena taik ayam. Nak ambik selipar pun nanti kena taik ayam. Mau tak stress.
