Mr. Cool ... its ok not to be ok

Yesterday morning, around 10 am, Mr Cool (my fifth son, who just started working July this year) called his father. Telling him he's not feeling well and asking his dad to recommend a doctor.

Alhamdulillah,  just mild flu and cough plus slight fever. The doctor asked him whether he wants one day or two days MC (Medical Leave).

Mr Cool said, an MC for today would be OK!

When he told me about it, as a mom I spontaneously said, he should have asked for 2 days MC. Its your right because you're not well.

You know what Mr Cool told me?

"Mama! I just need to take the given medication and rest. One day is enough."

(Dalam hati, "Muaz, Muaz  ... ada orang sanggup beli MC nak!").

I didn't say it loud because as former worker, I'm proud of him. Proud for putting his job as top priority and not taking advantage.

p.s. Mr Cool looks ok when he left for work this morning.

Still needs to take his medicines.

And Mama thinks sometimes its ok not being ok or cool my dear son.

Moga anak2 Mama sentiasa dalam perlindunganNya. Aamiinn ❤️
