Super A: Hope

A series of soliloquies, dialogues and conversations dedicated to my son, my hero.

HOM:           Hi ‘nak, how’s school?
Super A:      How’s school…  (not looking my way)

HOM:           Fine?

Super A:      Fine…

HOM:           What did you do in school?

                   No response from Super A. My heart sank. I’ve  always imagined myself having conversations with my son.

HOM:           I love you ‘nak!

                                

                   He then looks up and looks at me in the eyes.

Super A:       I love you, Ma!

And just like that, Super A saves the day by keeping every mother’s HOPE in her heart alive. Where it belongs… where it should stay.
