This is my entry for Day 1969: 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday - Prompt: on his lap
If only I knew that life will be this hard, my only wish is just to sit on his lap. Just like every evening when he returns from his hard day at the rice field.
I understand now that things were much harder back then, but I felt some kind of safety on his lap. I felt that everything was going to be ok. I don't see any hardship on his face.
I could only hear his joy when he played with me, teach me a word, two words. Making sure that I will be ready to set my journey on my own in this cruel harsh world.
Not once he mentioned how hard it will be, but his only wish was that I will be succeeded in my life in the future. So that he can be proud of what he was doing and taught back then in his lap.
