Cruel to be Kind

Of course, this is not about the overweight little girl.

The doctor told her that her cute adorable chubby daughter is overweight.
She never realized she has been overfeeding the daughter all the while.
At least not to that extent.
After this realization, she started to watch how her daughter eats.
And stops her when she's already had enough.

How this breaks her maternal heart to say,

"Enough ye kakak? Tak bole banyak sangaat."

Everytime the daughter cries she tries so hard not to cave in.
But everytime she did cave in how she worries of what this would do to the child's health.

Things would be much easier if the daughter somehow magically understands why.
Things would be much easier if the mother realized it before it came to this.
But I guess nothing is easy and simple. At least not anymore.
