Help Me


'Mak, get up. Would you like to have a slice of apple-pie?'

The distant voice became clearer once I was fully awake. Oh, my children were presenting me the first apple-pie that Aisyah made on her own. It was already 6.10 pm.

I wasn't smiling, a worried frown creased my forehead, but the apple-pie changed it .....

Proudly, Aisyah cut a slice of the crispy apple-pie for me. She understood how exhausted her mom was, after working two-and-a-half hours non-stop behind the computer at school.

I slowly chewed the delectable pie, counting my blessings , as there I was, very much alive, despite the harshness of 'cruelty' which I had to bear every day, lately.

I am determined to face it.... God , please help!
