How would you feel when the fault seems to be pointing towards you?
Well I would say that the feeling is not at all nice.
Tomorrow is Mother's day. As usual, we will go to a certain restaurant to celebrate it annually. Its kind of grand cause we are not only celebrating for my mum alone but many other mothers whom are my aunties and the big Mum, my grandmother. Its a big family there.
Amongst the big family, my family is sort of known to be the family who will always arrive late though recent years its getting better and sometimes we arrived punctually. I admit that sometimes it was due to me as I would spent too much time thinking of what to wear and ended up letting the whole family wait for me. But that was in the past, I'm changed now.
We were supposed to reach there by 6.30 sharp. Since it was in the evening, I decided to make use of the time to do my school work. Guess I looked at the computer too long, I had quite a bad headache and when to rest, it was around 4.30 then. When I woke up, its 5.15. I went to checked the toilet and found that daddy was inside bathing so I sat at the dining table and waited for me my turn. When he came out it was around 5.30, I went in to bathe then came out at around 5.54. I rushed to change and stuff and when we reached the bus stop its around 6.20. It must have been a bad day cause bus 13 simply refused to come and we had to wait for 35 minutes. Daddy was pissed he blamed that I took my own sweet time bathing and dressed up. When we finally reached there, mummy was pissed as well. My dad then told everyone that I'm the one that cause them to be late, mummy added in and scold me as well. I didn't bother to explain myself, my relatives just said that "its okay, since we are here already lets just start the dinner," and moved on. At that moment, It just felt like a bullet had hit me. Such unfairness.
We are fine now though, guess maybe he was old and couldn't handle his tempered properly. But sometimes I just wish that my dad wouldn't be unreasonable. Hope that he would see the picture clearly before he cast the verdict next time.
