This is how it went:-
Father: What do you think that night when I followed Atok back to Klang?
Daughter: I felt sad. I couldn't sleep the whole night and Kak Anis had to teman me. I was thinking about you all the time.
Father: I meant who's fault did you think it was? Mama or me?
Daughter: I don't know whose fault it was because I was so sad.
Father: What do you think of Atok?
Daugher: I think he's nice.
Father: Yeah, I think he's nice too.
Daughter: Why doesn't Mama like Atok?
Father: I don't think that Mama doesn't like Atok. I think it's a matter of expectations. Mama I think, expect certain things from Atok and when he doesn't do as expected, she gets annoyed with him.
Father: Does Mama expect anything from you?
Daughter: No
Father: I mean, does she expect you to study hard and do well in your exams?
Daughter:Yes.
Father: What if you don't do well?
Daugher: She gets angry.
Father: That's what happened with Atok. For instance she expects Atok to teach you mengaji but he gave up.....because you weren't interested in learning.
Daughter: I never did that!
Father: I know you did but that's not the point. You gave Tok Mak a hard time too. The only difference is that Tok Mak doesn't give up. But Atok did. That's why Mama gets annoyed with Atok.
Daughter: Ooh I see.
Father: But what do you think of him now.
Daughter: I still like him.
Father: Yeah I like him too. There are some good things about Atok and some bad things too. Mama doesn't know him as well as I do so he does not see him the way I do.
