WE HATE YOU, MOM!


An early morning, i woke up with my brother in the same room. We have a movie-marathon last night, that's a Family Guy on FOX Channel. We like every single episode in this serial television very much. The character its so funny and full of sarcasm especially Peter and Stewie. While we talk about the movies, we heard a sound.
Thats sound familiar ...

(Hunger Pangs)

“Are you hungry?” I asked.

And he said “Of course dude!”

“Have you breakfast already?”

Then he replied “What? We just wake up dude!”

“Chill bro, just kidding. Hmm, did you smell it ?”

His nose gets bigger when he try to sniff, then he said

“Are you thinking what I am thinking?”

“No … Lets go out to the kitchen and have ourselves a breakfast!”
I ran as quick as I could to get a breakfast.

      Just then, I saw my mother cooking a fried rice.

“Mom, I want a chicken porridge, please.”

I complain as my brother said  “Yeah… we often breakfast with fried rice”

She said that “You can breakfast with it or go to morning market for a porridge.
The Porridge usually with a green cart, and the seller had a 'Madura' accent.” Mom tried to explaining the porridge man.

       “Come on, im so hungry dude!” He quickly jump into the motorcycle and yelled out to me.
       “Okay okay on my way, just taking on my jacket!”

        Its nice to rode a motorcycle together in the morning. Its 05.00 AM and we can’t sight the view clearly. Yeah, that’s a fog! I wonder sometimes if fog is just the clouds that couldn’t stand being away from the earth any longer.
       
        Finally, we arrived at morning market, I can't believe it! That a crowded market even at 05.00 AM. What a rare sight for us! We take a look around the market and looking for the porridge man. Now, its 06.00 AM, the sun came up through the fog. Then, we decided to asking the seller jamu, seller of donut, seller of rames and even the parking man too!

       "Excuse me, did you see a porridge man? He sell a chicken porridge with a green cart and speak with Madura's accent?" They shake their head which mean negative. We were so confusing and didn't know what to do. Shall we go home and have a breakfast with fried rice? Or we move to other morning market? But its too late for us. Now its 06.30 AM and the merchants mostly leave the morning market out.

       "Why not? Lets move out!" He replied tremendously. After that, we moving to the other morning market. After we arrived there, guess what? There is only a donuts and watch seller. The rest had done their job. "What should we do?" Then he said that "I think we better go home because im starving right now. No matter it's a fried rice, satay, even salad! Lets go home!" I wonder the way his mood turns quickly and being angry, just like Hulk! 

        "Mom, im home. Mom. Mommy. Mom, where are you?" We think that mommy is not home, maybe he visit our neighbor because its always a good idea to get to know the neighbors and also the ... 

"Hellooooo, mommy is here with a chicken porridge!" Suddenly she came up.

We shocked and staring each other "Mom, did you said Chicken Porridge? Oh mom we hate you!"

"Yes, why? the porridge man wasn't in morning because it was a fake. I make up a stories just in case too see you trying found socialize with people. Since you had a cellphone, you had become apathy. You feel frustated or embarrased being around people who have something interesting going on in their lives or you avoid them together, you allow yourself to spend a lot of time in front of the TV, you feel very unmotivated. So i lied to you just in case you go out there and socialize with people. I spying on you and saw you talking with other people at morning market. So I go home and make a special chicken porridge for all of you as an achievement.”

My brother started to crying “Mom… im sorry for being apathy, thank you mom for “lying” to me…I just wanna say…”

Mommy start to give a hug “I love you too, I do it for you. What you wanna say?”

He stopped crying and smile “Im hungry mom.”

After that dramatic scene, we eat porridge for the late breakfast together.
