Pijak Memijak

Pijak Memijak is not something foreign to me. As early as when I was 5, 6 years old, I was always assigned to pijak my dad. Morning before he started his day, every night before he retired.


He would call after me- "kak, tolong pijak sikit". He would lie on his tummy and I would step on his back - both feet. After a while, I got a hang of it- pijak sana, pijak sini, move this way, move that way, at certain place, put on more emphasis. At time, he would say- haa situ sedap sedap, lama sikit tu. I always proud of my self for a good pijak service :D. As I grew up and got heavier, I guna sebelah kaki. I dont remember when  I last  pijak my father but I do recall that even when was a teenager, he still asked for a pijak favor. 


But often also, I would ask, "dah ke pa"and when he said. "not yet, not yet", I would ask again, "berapa lama lagi?:). But never once I rejected his request because if I did that, I would feel guilty. My pijak service were not free though. I remember that sometimes, he would give me 50 cents :) for my ice cream treat (besau tu dulu, boleh dapat Ice Cream Choc layer dalam Vanila :)). Kalau  I betul betul kumpul duit pijak, mesti I dah kaya now hehe.


And these day, Dina has taken over that job. Sometimes, he called after Dina, "Dina pijak Atuk kejab"and mula mula dulu , Dina would make face :). And sometimes dia buat dek ja. I told Dina my story that I always pijak Atuk dulu and I never said NEVER. Not good to say,  penat or malas. Pijak lah sekejab, sian Atuk, I said. Nowadays, she would normally comply unless she is really tired. She uses the session to watch TV in Atuk's room and sometimes manages to make request for a coloring book or henna from Atuk (nanti Atuk belilah kat Pasar Malam), see tak rugi kan and nowadays Atuk rajin bagi duit kopi yang besau sikit bila the girls pergi outing jalan jalan :D.


How about dear semua? Pernah pijak your dad masa kekecik dulu? :D.
