Weekend baru ni mummy mai all the way from KB, spending her weekend here, nak mai tengok cucu dia Si Danish Haiqal. She even spent the night at my in-law's to make use of every good second; spent with her first and only ( for now! ) grandson. Sebelum ni mummy tak pernah tido kat umah mertua aku since umah makcik aku pon tak sampai 0.5km pon dari situ. I guess when it comes to being with Danish, she made it an exception! Alhamdulillah, aku bersyukur kepada Allah because both of our family get along so well. Harap2nye smuanye berkekalan hingga ke akhirnya, Insya allah.

From the look of her eyes, I can see that she's very excited and joyous with the fact that she's now a granson to call her own. She had even decided earlier what Danish and the rest of her grandsons and grandaughters gonna call her - "Tok My", pronnounced as 'tok mi' which came from the name that we call her today, "Mummy"! Sampai2 je kat rumah my in-law from PWTC, lps solat subuh, terus dia perati and tunggu sebelah Danish; waiting for him to wake up from his sleep. After Danish had done so, and after menyusu and bathing him, baru la mummy tido after all that 7 hours travel from KB to KL. God, I was touched!

I was touched that my mom is soo happy and love my child so much. Aku tahu, memang sepatutnya tiap2 nenek sayang cucu diorang. But being able to feel and see it for myself, having the son being yours, loved by your parents and in-laws is something unexplainable. Bile aku tanya kat ayah mertua aku semalam, dia pon tak dapat nak explain. Cuma dia cakap, memang macam tu. Kalau pegi kenduri bawak anak sendiri, tetiba anak kita nak mintak telur lebih ker, ayam ker... biasanye parents would say, "Ishhh, takyah laaa. Malu kat orang amik@makan banyak". But when it comes to the child being your cucu, memang kita sebagai datuk@nenek ni akan tebalkan muka, dan terus hilang rasa segan which results to them mintak daripada tuan kenduri tu apa yang cucu mereka nak. Menurut ayah mertua aku lagi, bukan la maknanya bagi diorang, sayang cucu tu lebih daripada sayang anak sendiri, tapi, ntah la. That's just the way it is. Tambah2 pulak kalau cucu sulong. Kadang2 tu disebabkan cucu, ayah dan anak boleh bergaduh - with the datuks and neneks on their grandsons side, of course! Question is, apsal boleh jadi camtu? Anyone has any answer to that? Having my father in-law failing to answer my question, I realised that I will only understand this whole matter when I'm in their shoes; the time when I become an "atok", and Hani an "opah" ourselves.

Masa on the way pi keje semalam, jem sket kat fedral higway depan mid valley, jadi aku call mummy jap; nak confirmkan pukul baper dia sampai semalam from KL. Mummy cakap dia sampai KB kul 5 pagi. Before I hang up the phone, mummy cakap, "Mie, mummy terbayang2 le muka Danish"... I was speechless.

I thank god that my child is loved so much by both my parents, as well as my in-laws; being his granpas and granmas. And I hope that will continue to stay until the end of time. My boy is sooo lucky!

Now, can anyone come up with something wise enough to answer this curiosity of mine? Your say people?
