bye bye love, I'll be back soon

I’ll be away for 3 days. I'll leave at approximately 8.30 this morning.

I’m kinda sad having to leave my husband, kakak and iman behind. Last I went out-station for business was in January 2004. Iman wasn’t even born yet. Korea was different, since I tagged along with mdh. I hope they’ll have good time despite not having me around.

Like always, I am not worry about whether or not my kids will be starving. Mdh is a good cook. In fact, a better case that I am. I am just a bit worry about him having to deal with details. Like how many pairs of these and that should go into their respective nursery bag, or what should be put in their bakul bekal, or where do I put kakak’s panties and socks and school-scarf. And like I used to do, I’ve drawn a picture of their wardrobe and has written-down the list of things. You know, what and how much of this and that, that go into this bag and that bag. But I still expect to get his phonecall. Short-cut, as they call it. I’m sure you can deal with this alright yang. Afterall, you’re a SUPER-dad.

In anticipation of the short separation, I kissed and hugged and smooched them in advance. I just hope I won’t wake up drowsily in the wee of the night kissing anyone that happens to be sharing the apartment with me for the next 3 days!

~ A heart shape I traced with my finger before we depart for Atfal 2 days ago, sending kakak laughing out loud and all smiles for school. Iman laughed out even louder, merely copying and trying to out-do his sister. Why, she asked. Because, I love you dear. She spent the whole short journey looking at the shape on the glass window, which slowly wiped away by the morning dew as the wind rushed by ~

I am not even there yet. But I miss them already.
