Rebellious Child
The widow had
to work hard to bring up her little son alone. This was after her husband’s
early death. She and her son lived in a wooden house. It was a small house with
only one bedroom and a kitchen.
Mariam wanted Sam to study hard to get good result. So she would not let Sam
help her do any household chores or wash his own clothes. The years flew by.
Sam sat for his SPM examination and pass with flying colours.
His mother was very happy. She went round telling her friends, “My Sam will be
leaving for the city to study in a college. He will become a Manager one day.
I’ll move to live with him in the city. Then, my struggle is worth it.So Mariam continued to work hard to send money to Sam who was studying a
business degree. For Mariam, it was a tough life. Meanwhile, Sam kept on
phoning home to ask for more money. Mariam even had to borrow from her
neighbours and friends to send her son the money.
Three years Sam stopped calling home. He did not even let his mother where he
was. When she phoned the faculty, they told her that he had graduated and left
for job. However, they could not her more. Mariam was baffled. Where was Sam?
She was so sure he would come back and fetch her for city. So, she started to
pack some of her bags and boxes.Three months later, there was still no news or call from Sam. One day, Mariam’s
niece, Kate, came to talk to her about Sam. She told her aunt, “Auntie, a
friend of mine met Sam in a bank. He’s the branch manager. This is his
address.”
Early in the morning, Mariam took the first bus to the city. At the bus
station, she took a taxi and showed the taxi driver the bank address.
The bank staff saw an old lady holding a worn-out handbag.They were wondering,
“Who is this woman? Why is she asking for our manager?. Meanwhile, Sam pretended he did not know his mother. Feeling disgusted and
ashamed, he asked the security guard to ask her to leave. Mariam was shocked to
hear that! She looked Sam in a disappointed feeling ever, and ran out of the
bank.
Back in her house, Mariam cried the whole night. She cried and cried till she
had no more tears. The next morning, she was sitting by the window with Sam’s
photo on her lap. She saw him walking towards their house. Soon she was
shouting and crying, “My Sam is back! My Sam is back!”Sam ran towards her and hugged Mariam as he never let go. He was so sorry and
regretted the way he behaved. His colleagues were the one who made him realized
his big mistakes neglected his mother.
