6162160When I was Six:
“Umma!” I cried as I looked around.
Mommy told me she’ll wait for me here, where is she?
I wiped my nose with the back of my hand. “Umma!” I sniffed.
Feeling helpless, I sat on the ground and cried.
Then, a teacher held my hand and brought me up.
“Krystal, don’t cry.. Mommy will be here in a few minutes..” She said, wiping my face with a tissue.
“Umma…” I repeated, she hugged me.
“I’ll take you to the clinic so they can clean you up, okay?”
“Umma..”
“Yes, yes..” she said and carried me.
We entered a room and a nurse got me from her.
She put me on top of the bed and wiped my face. She cleaned my legs too.
“Mommy will be here soon.” The nurse said and smiled. I sniffed.
“Do you want a candy, dear?” I nodded shyly. Then, she handed me a pink lollipop.
There was a knock on the door, and it turned out to be umma. I ran to her and hugged her tightly.
“Where did you go? You told me you won’t leave!”
“Umma’s sorry Krystal.. mommy just wanted to buy snacks for you.. I will never leave you again, sweetie.”
She thanked everyone in the room and held me in her arms.
“My baby’s getting heavier.” She said as she carried me outside.
“You can put me down, umma.” I said.
Then she put me down and put my back pack on my shoulders. And she opened a banana milk and gave it to me.
I drank the banana milk, while walking out of the school, hand in hand with my mommy.
“We’re going to buy a dress for your piano recital. Then daddy will pick us up.”
“Daddy’s not working today?”
“He is sweetie, but he’ll get off work early.. So, what dress do you like? Do you like a pink dress? A white?” She asked as she took the empty bottle from me and threw it in the trash bin.
We walked inside a shop full of dresses.
“Tell umma if there’s a dress you like..
My eyes passed by each dress.
"Umma! That dress is similar to your wedding dress!" I exclaimed and ran towards the dress.
My parents' wedding picture hung in our living room flashed in my head as I admired the delicate fabric of the dress.
"You like that, sweetie?" She asked.
"Yes, mommy. It's like yours.. It's really pretty!"
"Let's try it on you.." She said and took my backpack.
I tried a lot of dresses, but I chose the one that looked like mommy's.
"I'm thirsty.." I said as mommy put me on the wooden bench, under a big tree.
"Wait for me here, darling.. I'll go get us something to drink.."
"Don't leave!" I panicked.
"Can you see that store across the street? Mommy's going to buy there. You can look at me while I walk. Okay? And daddy might come any minute now."
I sighed. "Okay... Banana milk, mommy." I said.
"Okay. But water first.. Wait here." She said.
I watched her disappear in the crowd of people, crossing the street.
Quietly sitting there, a soccerball hit my foot.
"Ouch!" I screamed, rubbing my foot.
"Sorry!" A tan boy said as he got the ball.
"Oh! You're the noisy girl!" He exclaimed.
"What?" I raised a brow.
"You're the crying girl in school!"
"Oh.." I looked down.
"I'm Kai.." He said, shoving his hand to me, asking for a handshake.
"Krystal." I said and took his hand.
"Kai!" A tall man called him.
"I'm coming dad!" Kai yelled.
"See you in school, Krystal!" He waved and ran to his dad.
