FIFTY ONE:: IT’S HARD TO FORGIVE II

[SHAIRA's POINT OF VIEW]

My smile slowly faded. I don't want to disappoint my child, but I don't think there will be any next time. I can feel how anxious my husband was as he stared at me, waiting for my reply.

"Let's see," I replied as I gently stroked his hair and kissed him on his temple.

I sat on my respective bleacher. The game has started. It was a game called 'dad brings home'. The mechanics of the game, the first phase is about dad and son cooperation. Whereas, the child will run on the first base together with his dad. They will find the marker inside the box full of cockroach toys. The twist is they cannot see what is inside the box. For the next stage, they should write something that the mother likes. For the last page, the mother will try to decipher the action of their husband to guess the word written on the board hidden by their child. Failure to guess the word for 2 minutes means losing the game.
