It's afternoon, 5 pm. Still so bright. Was reading my "My Name is Asher Lev" by Chaim Potok literally. I was about to draw inferences from what i've read. And the phone rang. Again, nobody's home.
"Hi." he says with heavy tone and sounded miserable. It's my gramp.
"Ya?"
"Heard you told ur mom u want to move Aussie?"
I didn't reply.
"U know wat? did u know tat she cried? She sounded so sad when u said that."
"..... and why did she cry for?"
"She already took so much trouble putting you in sumwhere where she wants you to be. Do you know that she wanted you to graduate from UCLA and be a better person tahn your bro and sis? What's wrong wif u? Not many ppl can go USA to study nowadays. U should consider urself lucky. UCLA is one of teh best University in e world."
"Oh so u r saying pride is better than our financial problem huh?"
"NO!" he yelled now with louder tone. "Even if we don't hav any money, we dun mind borrowing from anybody juz to raise you kids.
"......"
"Please. Pity your mom who kept working so hard to raise u. Stay in USA. Don't go anywhere. Please. She wants you to be e best. It will take anotehr trouble just to move u to Aussie. Ur pitiful mom will hav to travel more! To USA to see ur siblings and to Aussie to see you! It will be even worse! Furthermore, your aunt (my mom's sister) is not going to Aussie probably. Your cousin was lectured by his grandmother (from father's side). They will not probably going anywhere."
"and?"
"That's all! PLease understand. Your mom is going through sum problem here!!"
"Fine.. i understand.. i guess."
"Good. Think about it."
He hung up.
So.. i guess there'll be no more going to Aussie. Well, it's all good. For the love of my mom, I will have to do this. I don't mind.... Sorry mate. Won't be able to see u around i guess
oh well.. let God decide what my fate will be.....
