I had a long day at work last week friday. By the time i got home, it was very late and dark. I dragged my legs around my room, undressed, took a bath, wore my nightgown and fell on my bed. I'm about to wrap the blanket around my body when i heard my mum calling my name from the dinning. I had forgotten to eat. I tried getting up but felt very weak so i sat up expecting mum to come. After some minutes, mum came into my room looking worried " Honey, why are you not responding to my call since, you haven't taken your dinner?, she said curiously.
Mum, if i should take one more step right now, i might collapse, i said. My mum dashed out immediately, in few minutes she was back with packs of drugs, jug, handkerchief and hot water including my food. I knew i can't stop her at that moment.
