Night

Are you afraid of the dark? Unsurprisingly, most people are. People tend to fear what they have no knowledge of. In this case, people can't see in the dark, and they don't know what is in front or behind them. I have a friend that is afraid of the dark. She can't even sleep without a night light. You got to give her some credit - she does have a red-belt in Taekwondo-Do. But who could tell that this spunky and rebellious girl was afraid of the dark. I mean really, my three year old brother is braver than her. Hehehe. If she's reading this, she can kill me later...

Sorry... FD, just joking around... Hehehe...

But for me, I like the dark. It makes me feel at peace. I tend to sleep really early - like right after Isyak. Then I wake up around midnight. I perform solah and say my prayers. Grab a midnight snack. Watch a movie or two. Update my facebook and blog. Wait till Subuh.

I like the night. The cool air; the peace and tranquillity that comes with it. Sometimes, the silence would be broken by baby brother's or baby sister's crying. I would enter the room, hold them in my arms and lullaby them to sleep. I fix them a bottle of milk each and rock until they fall asleep. At least my parents could have a nights rest.

I like the night. Listening to the house as it breaths; the doors creek and the air conditioner running. Knowing that all my loved are fast asleep. It made me feel safe.
