“Austin, what’s this?! Nag shift ka na naman nag course?!!” ang mommy ni Austin. “Ayoko na ng Engineering. Nakita nyo naman ung mga grades ko di ba?” si Austin habang nag lalaro ng PSP.
“My God, this is the 3rd time na nag shift ka ng course. Una Business Management then ECE tapos ngayon.. what, Education!! What’s going through your mind?” pasinghala na sabi sa kanya ng kanyang Mama.
“Ma, look. Kaya ko kinuha ang Business Management because of Dad. Then after what happened to him and Kuya you asked me to shift to ECE kasi sabi mo pangarap un ni Kuya. Pero hindi yun ang gusto ko.” Si Austin na ngayon ay naka tingin sa Mama nya.
“Pinag bigyan ko kayo sa lahat ng gusto nyo, maybe this time baka pwede ung gusto ko naman, ung magiging masaya ako.” Pag papatuloy ni Austin.
Isang buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ng kanyang Mama bago ito nag salita. “I just want the best for you, son. After what happened to your Dad and Kuya.. you’re the only one left to me. I just want you to have the best that this world could offer” ang Mama nya habang hawak ang kanyang balikad.
“Ma, what’s best for me is to do the things that make me happy. To see myself enjoying every single day of my life. To be understand and to be love by the people around me. Un ang best para sa akin.” Si Austin.
