CHAPTER 13

SHAKEERA's POV
I still woke up early the next day, even though I was almost asleep in the morning. But I decided to go back to sleep again. Even just for an hour only.
Today is Sunday and I have no work. I did not fail and fell asleep again.
But the one hour of sleep I am planning has become two hours. So I quickly got up and hurried to prepare food for our breakfast. It's already eight in the morning.
My sister is definitely coming, and I haven't cooked breakfast yet.
But I was stopped when I saw the table, there were prepared foods already and covered. My sister may already be home. And I was right when I saw there's a sticky note attached.
*Good morning Ate, I already have prepared breakfast. And I also finished. It was because the mother and son slept well so I didn't wake you up. Eat well. I'm also taking a beauty rest. Love, Your beautiful Sister Shaina.*
That is what is written on the sticky note.
I just smiled as I read her note. I wish I had just prepared earlier before going back to sleep. I felt ashamed of my sister because she was still able to cook. I'll just take it back for our lunch. I'M going to cook her favourite, I smiled at what I thought.
I also went to the bathroom to take a shower. I finished taking a bath but my son is still asleep. So I woke him up so we could eat our breakfast.
"Shawn son, come on, wake up." I patted his cheek and kissed him.
"Hmm mama" He slowly opened his eyes and blinked twice. And his husky bedroom voice was so cute. "Good morning." As he wraps his arms on my neck. And a smack kiss on my lips.
"Come on buddy get up and take a shower so we can eat our breakfast already." He immediately obeyed what I said. He was carrying his towel when he left the room.
I also dressed in a simple household. Brown cotton short up to half my thigh length. And white blouse. I also prepared the clothes for my son before I left the room.
I need to buy a pair of school uniforms and school supplies for him. He will be a kinder one this school year. Time flies so fast. It seems like I just brought him here to my womb. But now he is already big. A smile on my face when I remember that time. When he was still a baby.
I just gasped. 'I'm sorry Shawn if I can't even give you your father's full name.' In fact, it would have been very simple.
I just shook my head and made milk for him and a coffee. He also came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He really looks cute like a little man. I can't help but smile again.
He was already dressed when he came out from our room. "Mama, are we going to buy some school supplies today?" He asked me in the middle of our breakfast.
"Yes baby later we will, but when your aunt Shaina is awake OK?" I told my son.
"OK mama." He said to me, "But for now help mama clean the house first, is that ok with you?" I asked him with a smile on my face. Well actually, he always helped me in cleaning our home. He was having fun.
"OK mama, I'll help you clean our house." He was obviously excited. And he hurried to eat. My son is really fun.
We just rested for a while after we ate, before we started doing the house chores.
And I prepare our lunch after we clean up. Porridge tamarind pork with ribs I cooked. My sister's favorite.
I just finished cooking when my sister woke up.
"Tita Shaina we're going to the mall, are you coming with us?" I heard my son ask.
"Hmm" She even thought, "Ok sure I'll go with you." As she also agreed.
"Yehey..." My son was so happy, his Hands even raised.
"What time are we leaving Ate?" She looked at me. "Maybe after you wake up later, just complete your rest first." I told her.
"Why not just after lunch to make our trip worthwhile, right? And I don't have work later so it's ok, I will complete my rest at night." She added.
"Are You sure?" I asked her. "Yes, I am sure I ate." She smiled while saying those words to me. "You're not too excited huh?" She just laughed at what I said to her.
"Let's go to the church first before going to the mall." I suggested it to her and she just nodded at me. Then we continue eating our food.
WE got dressed then. I'm only wearing my faded skinny jeans and a maroon blouse. The same with my son, maroon shirt and faded skinny jeans too. And a pair of sneakers. And a maroon handbag too.
My sister gets up, is almost the same as well too, only the color red of the blouse is different from hers.
We went to church first before going to the mall. We immediately shopped for Shawn's school supplies. Then in the arcade.
We played almost all kinds of the games here inside, yeah and my sister and I. We were also playing like we were going back to our childhood. Our laughter could be heard all over the arcade when my son defeated us.
Just the fun, "It's really funny Ate, that this little one even beat us here." She added that she was still laughing. 
"Yes, right." I answered breathlessly.
"We were just like kids, right?" She was also out of breath.
"How come we didn't play like this, when we were young. We only played like this now. If it weren't for Shawn we wouldn't have experienced this kind of play and games." I smile at her. 
"Yeah" She said as I said.
We decided to buy a snack after the game.
We entered a fast food restaurant just inside the mall.
"You know what aunt pretty I met someone last night at the party." My sister looked at me as what Shawn told her.
"Meet someone? Who?" She asked.
"And we really look alike." He said so and my sister looked at me.
"Ahm, our new boss now." I just said.
And suddenly my heart beat faster when I remembered him again.
"Ahm, our new boss now. He looks a bit like Shawn. But there's really a case, like that right? There are people who look alike even if they are not related right?" I even smiled at him as I said that.
"Yeah, actually Ate I also saw a guy who really looks like Shawn too. At the hospital. I saw Shawn in him." She also said,
"Oh, that's fine, hurry up and eat fast so we go for another walk. Hmm, where else do you want to go, Shawn?" I asked him again. As to change the topic.
"Park, mama." He said as he was excited too to go. 
"OK, let's go to the park." I agree with him.
SO we did go to the park first before going home. And my son was so happy too. He played with the other kids who were there at the park too. Me and my sister were looking only at my sons playing.
We decided to go home when he gets tired.
And immediately fell asleep, he was very tired then. And also we.
