She did it all by herself

She hated it.

Every time it happened, she’ll need more than half hour to really be done with it. Tonight, instead of facing the mess and entertaining the unnecessary, she decided it was time. She had to do something about it. There was no other choice but to get it done herself.

She used to fix it on her own when she was younger. When things were much easier. That was a very long time ago. Very, very long time ago.

She was a bit doubtful on how it would be. Would it be bad? Horrible? She won’t know until she try.

So she bunched it all together, stared at her reflection in the mirror, savoring what might not be there anymore in the next hour.

The metal was cold against her skin. She closed her eyes for a silent prayer.

The time has come. The moment of truth.

She opened her eyes and started to work. Bit by bit. It started slow but as soon as she felt the familiar rhythm, it was not that difficult.

It was done. It was unbelievable. She couldn’t believe it was over. She had done it yet again.

She smiled. It was not bad at all. It didn’t hurt. She was still smiling as she got dressed. She hoped he'll be pleased.

There he was. Gazing serenely at the inventions as if it was his first time looking at them.

He saw her. She smiled at him. He did too before returning to the inventions.

She was a bit disappointed that he didn’t look at her long enough and that he did not utter a word.

She touched his arm and gave a hopeful smile. He turned and looked at her. His eyes travelled through her face and asked.

‘Did you cut your hair?’

‘Lamanya nak perasan. Chis. Penat orang senyum-senyum’.

So that was it. I cut my hair last night while Deli was watching something on Discovery channel.

Hasilnya sungguh tak senonoh but what the heck. Harharhar!
