It was almost Mum’s birthday, Dad knew a
great present for her, and Kai was very excited. Kai and his parents
weren’t the richest, as they were a bit to frugal at times. This present for
Mum’s birthday however had to be brought, it was the only present she was going
to get. Yet some home, Kai was still brought the terrible news that there
wasn’t enough money to buy the gift in time. After having to so long keep the gift a secret from Mum, it now did not matter at all.
One day after the end of school, the day
after the disappointment, Kai went straight into his room, not even making the
smallest of sounds on the way home. His room was very quite, which was odd as it was always somehow the room
where the most noise came from, Dad said. Kai never agreed with his father especially after not being able to get Mum’s present. Kai felt a lamentation
grow, although he doesn’t know what that word means. Slamming his head against
his bed, teddy, cupboard, perhaps too hard, his room soon started to sound the
loudest in the house.
Kai felt so mad against his father,
yet somehow he felt to blame. He started to do penance, for not getting angry
sooner, or not buying the gift himself. His anger started to hurt him, so he screamed.
Mum came in after hearing the inscrutable
noises come from his room. Immediately taking Kai in her arms, Kai calmed down
with ease, as he always enjoyed comfort with his mother. Mum now mollifying
Kai, he felt less angry and remembered not to tell Mum why he was angry as that
might ruin the secret of her gift.
