Episode 20
I get on a bus and walk home hurriedly
I am happy that now I won't be a burden on my mother's shoulder
Now I can repay her kindness little by little
And I am sure that I will have enough money for her medicines now
while I am walking back home, gazing at the road on my feet...
I look back into my childhood where the absence of my father didn't even matter...
She would always try to play both of the parents' roles and knowing that it is tough...
I can't help but admire her
The nights where she would tell me bedtime stories
She knew that I liked listening to them so whenever I felt at a loss or depressed...
She would tell me a story of her life and it would soothe me, always
The way she pulled me close in an embrace and patted my head comfortingly...
And the way she retold the stories would be one of the best moments
Her son is finally becoming the breadwinner of the family
I hope she didn't fall unconscious again
Is she taking her medication on time?
Damien Caspers (ML)
*rushed home, as panic gnawed at him
I open the door swiftly and call out her name
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
oh, dear. It is already so late *coming out of the living room slowly
Damien Caspers (ML)
Mom...you need to lie back on your bed
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
no, I don't want to
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
you should know how tiring it is to lie on your bed and do nothing!
Damien Caspers (ML)
still...
Damien Caspers (ML)
You need to have more rest
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
I have enough rest, Son
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
Now, why aren't you giving me a hug?
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
don't you love your mom anymore?
Damien Caspers (ML)
*chuckled
I open my arms wide and engulf her in an embrace
After the operation, mom got a little too clingy to me
She thinks she is going to die, but I know she won't
There are many people who survived the brain tumor
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
*digging her hands deep on his back and closing her eyes shut
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(my son...I don't know when my time will come...)
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(but I don't want to waste any moment without you)
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
*sighed whilst stopping her tears from coming out
Damien Caspers (ML)
Mom, by the way, I have good news
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
What is it today, Dear?
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(my son is such a gifted boy)
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(he gets places in Olympiads...)
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(has excellent GPA...)
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(and looks after me...)
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(God has blessed me with such a lovely son)
Damien Caspers (ML)
I got a job
Damien Caspers (ML)
*smiled, waiting to get praised by his mother
Damien Caspers (ML)
and she also said that I have to study at a uni, too
Damien Caspers (ML)
but she will cover all the fees, so I don't need to worry about this!
I looked down at my mother with an expectant smile but only noticed how her face couldn't process what to feel...
Pride and happiness for me getting a job and free education...?
Or worry that I will only overwork myself
Damien Caspers (ML)
Mother, don't worry. I will be fine
Damien Caspers (ML)
I have done similar things before. I can manage this
Her face finally relaxed and I let myself relax, too
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
*smiled and reached out a hand to pat him on the head
Damien Caspers (ML)
*smiling even more broadly
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
I am so glad that I have you
That is what I have wanted to hear all these years...
I want to be enough for my mother
because she is more than enough for me
