Go and make mama proud

Sunny day.

Weather has been warm lately. Taking refuge in the office rather than going out under the scorching sun. A long time client came to the office this morning. I always mistook her with another difficult client who wouldn't listen to me. But all this while, she was always the obedient one. I literally saw her changing and following up on her progress since Day 1. And today was her final visit. She was going to walk out of the office, be a happy mother and never come back again.

That very moment, 9.30am for exact, was our moment. I was really happy for her because she was going to reap the fruit of her months of effort. It's like she was getting ready to face her finals, and be a successful person, and continue to pursue her life. She is not coming back. And I have to accept the fact. After months of meeting, finally she's leaving. I could hear from her heavy voice that it's not easy for her too. But life has to go on, and she knew that our relationship will stop here. My eyelids were so heavy and both eyes laid onto the desk coz I didn't wanna see her leave in front of me. Let it be a temporary farewell, she'll be back, alas...she won't.

She looked at me as if she was waiting for words coming out from my mouth, or at least a response telling her that she was not a forgettable client of mine. But I just kept quiet. I couldn't mix my emotion with work, no, I couldn't show how fragile I was. So much of ego. Then, she stood up and said a word: Thank you....... and that word sounded so long that it touched my sense as if the length of her gratitude to me. I could only reply with a short, welcome and glanced by the corner of my eyes while she walked out of the room. After months on this battle field, and now I am letting her go and face her last challenge. Her success is my glory. Silently, I prayed.

Yesterday, a client of mine brought her baby to the office. This baby? Ahhh...she's so pretty. I met her when she wasn't even born to this world yet. A total disbelief, I browsed through her birth date. It's so true, she was the lil acquantaince whom I met before she could even open her eyes! Now she's this cute lil girl who will grow up beautifully and never knew this uncle once had this lil intimacy with her. This will always belongs to us and be with her for the rest of her life.

I am watching this chinese drama called moonlight resonance (ai...you dunno chinese?). A family drama. I am not the usual fanatic fan over chinese dramas. Initially I was hesitated to watch but after a few episodes, I just hooked on. Of course there are flaws, and I could easily identify them. But what I like about this drama is the momentum of the storyline. The message was sending across very clearly.

Tonight is very quiet as usual. Lights are dimmed and the mood slowly settles. The neighbour is moving out soon. I am going to miss another family. My staff today kinda told me that before I leave this place, she would invite me to her house. She gave me this ais kacang and a few huge MUFFINs. I am a fan of muffins! And these are really nice. Alas, that's reminding me of my stint here is actually temporary. People come people go, before you even know. (wa...it rhymes this time hehe)
