Children Are Hoping More from Their Parents

hildren are hoping more from their parents

Just remembered my sweet student in private course, he is a boy, he is cool and handsome. Actually he is smart, but he does not really realize his ability, and unfortunately he is often late to come to the class. But still, I always put my best attention to all of my student (cieeeeeeeeeeeeh, , , ,). I guess something wrong with him, while his partner a boy too named Yuris is really diligent, they are really different like two side of a coin. But, I am not gonna talk about Yuris and not talk about how they study with with.

But this:

One night, both of them was late, actually no one of them coming after I wait for 30 minutes. Then the manager of the private course called them, and the manager told me that one of them will come in a few minutes. And guess who confirm to coming? he  is the lazy boy (sorry for calling you the lazy boy, but I believe you are notJ).

After waiting for almost 15 minutes, he finally came. I was really surprised that time seeing him, he came  with tears on his eyes, I ask him “What’s wrong with you?”, he won’t answered any of my questions, he just tried to stop his tears. So, I decide to not start our physics class while I decide to do some slow approaching (halaaaaaah, padahal bingung juga mw ngapain).

After a really tiring approaching for almost 15 minutes he start to talk with me:

Me : will you tell me what happened? I will listen to you, really . . .

Him: mom . . .

Me: what’s wrong with your mom??is she sick?

Him: nope, but mom . . .

Me : why . . . ?

Him : nothing, just . . . (he starts to cry again)

Me : what happen with mom? (I ask him with a really sweet and soft voice,hehehe)

 Then he start to tell me what happen with him and his mom, he tell me that he asked his mom to pray for him to pass the national exam that will held in a few weeks, but his mom just silent, then he asked his mom whether she have pray at Magrib time or not, but he knew that his mom has not prayed yet, so he started to grumble and show his disappointed feeling to his mom, and the fracas happened till he went to the private course place.

My head actually blank out when I finished to listen him, then I looked at him and smile. I ask him to stop crying, I am afraid that this little boy is starting to hate his own mother. Then I tell him that he is really lucking to still have a mother beside him, I tell him that my mom was not here anymore but here in my heart. He stops crying and began to listen to me. I told him not to worry and say to him “I believe and you have to believe too that from the deepest of your mother’s heart, she is always pray for you in any chance, even if you not ask for it. So, from now on you have to fight more and study hard and give the best for her”

He nodded his head and we began the lesson.

What I really understand that night is, a children are really hoping more to their parent beside financial support but the most important one is a MENTAL SUPPORT. Sometime, they need to know, they need to make their self believe that someone out there is really pray for them and support them and wishing to be a best person of them self. The boy I mean on my story have a really good financial support from his parents, a hand phone, a personal transportation, a high class clothes and shoes, and may spend a million rupiah in a day. But, he does not feel the mental support from his parents, although I believe that his mother always pray for him in every chance but not showed it to his child. And what happened to this mom and child is just a miss communication.

But I think here is the point that every children hoping more to their parent AND a parent also hoping more to their children. The parents give everything that they could give to their children; the kind of unconditional love that last forever. But somehow the children can’t easily understand about that in their age, so maybe a parent should also show their mental and emotional support to their children, because both of them is the hero for each other.

I hope this boy will be a great man in the future, and he will always love his mom and dad, and what he wish to be really become true. I always pray for your success Alief. :)
