One day, I was watching television while my mother was preparing breakfast. On the TV, the mother cried as well as kissed and hugged her daughter when she learnt that she got an extremely high score from the exam. And, I thought that our mothers were crying when they learned that we got a very good score. My mother called me for breakfast at the time, omelette with salami and a freezingly cold lemonade. I ate my breakfast with joy and appetite.
-God bless your hands mother, it was seriously good.
-Bon appetite my daughter. By the way, we are going to the shopping center, so get yourself ready.
-Okay, I will get dressed by myself, mother.
I got myself dressed, and we slowly got into our ruby-red car, went to the shopping center. When we were in the shopping mall, I got myself a toy, and my mother got herself a top. Just as we got into our car, my aunt called my mother, yet, she didn't pick it up. My aunt called once again, and then my mother picked up the call. Wondering what happened that she called this much, they kept talking. My mother cryingly said “No, it can't be!”. By the way my aunt is my school teacher. That was how I understood the reason why my mother cried, which is because I got a really high score.
My mother hugged and kissed me, pulled the car to the side. And we left the car at a place called “Condolences”, many people were in there. My uncle, aunt, my father, and many other people, including my relatives, that I could not count them any more. There were sobbing sounds everywhere, which meant that everybody was crying for me. And I said “Thanks for your congratulation.”.
