M.O.M.O.K

When I came back from work last nite, Mak told me that Anaqin dragged my helper into my Mak's room (time mahgrib) and told her "Mak, mak, ader momok dalam bilik mummy!" "Mak come lah!" My mak patted him and told him "Alah momok tu tak kacau lah, takpe nanti mak sholat so the momok will go away ok?" Anaqin just nodded his head.

I thought that was the end of it but I was wrong! Anaqin drifted off to dreamland while watching tv and that was like 9pm. His bedtime is normally at 10 plus. He slept throughout the night but around 1 plus he soon got restless. Refused to drink his milk and kept snuggling to me while covering his face and peeping through this blanky to look at the windows. My bed is facing directly towards the windows and the curtains are wide open. The windows were closed tho coz the room is air-conditioned. Anaqin then patted me and whispered to me ... "Mummy, Akin scared la ... nak kuar ... then pointed towards the door." To be frank I wasn't even scared, in fact I was angry at whateva THING(S) that was disturbing my son! Anaqin soon started crying and asked for his Daddy who's not back from work yet. I've got no choice but to bring him out to the living room. He then suggested that he wanted to watch Gromit. Brought him back to the room. Drew all the curtains and on the cartoon.

Anaqin soon got restless and asked for his daddy again. Called darl and he spoke to Anaqin. Kesian plak biler tengok airmata dia meleleh when talking to the daddy. He kept saying "Daddy cepat lah balik, Akin scared lah." Darl came back ard 3 plus and upon seeing his daddy, Anaqin terus nangis konon mengadu nasib la tu. Darl told me to go back to sleep and he took over taking care of Anaqin. I don't know what time the duo finally fell asleep but I certainly hope that Anaqin won't encounter the same experience again tonite..erm today malam jumaat babe.. HEH.

Layla @ VM said...

insyaallah ... thanks babe. so far last nite, he seemed a ok! No more disturbance. Alhamdulillah.

Layla @ VM said...

i'm now teaching anaqin to say bismillah and blow at the momok whenever he sees them. ehehe.

Zana Arba'in said...

yes.. i also taught my dotter to say bismillah whenever masuk rumah & not forgetting beri salam.. cos pernah sekali tu.. bukak pintu jer.. dah lah rumah gelap.. budak ni leh tunjuk kat dalam tanya "mama.. tu saper?" terdiam i sekejap.. tapi nasib baik im a bit berani.. but sometimes have to show a brave front so that my kid knows that i pun tak takut cam dia...

Layla @ VM said...

I think saying bismillah is one of the first few words you should teach them. :D
