Aliya Puasa tak?

You noticed that abah and I haven't been eating during the day lately. Sometimes you offered me some of your favorite drinks when you poured yourself some, only to be refused for the reason that I was fasting. I didn't know how much i could make you understand about fasting, despite all the explanation i gave you. You didn't respond much when it comes to this topic because... well maybe you didn't know how to. And maybe when you did ask me some questions to make you understand better, it was I who didn't know how to respond. This one has touched my heart;

Mama: Its okay Aliya... Mama tak boleh minum lagi, sbb mama puasa. Kita tunggu mama buka puasa bila Mr Sun comes down later, ya...?

Aliya: Hmm... Napa...? Mama tutup ke puasa?

Mama: Hehehehhehehe.... umm.... (didnt really know what to say) Yup... mama tutup puasa mama tadi masa Aliya sleep, masa Mr Sun belum keluar pun lagi...

Aliya: Kenapa?

Mama: Sebab skrg is the month of Ramadhan... semua muslim macam mama and Abah kena puasa (then i was afraid you didnt understand the concept of Months yet)

Aliya: Kenapa?

Mama: heheh... hmm... (now out of idea already) can i explain to you when you're a bit older?

Aliya: Kenapa?

Mama: Because by then, you could understand better....

Aliya: Hmmm (Not very satisfied yet, but.. ) okay.

Hehehe... then, when the topic resurfaced, you'd ask again... and again... :D. And of course I didn't and wouldn't mind... because I love you so.
