words from my wise mum

MUM came into my room, and sat down on the bed.

_____________________________________________________________

Mum:
"Next week you'll be 19 already. Become adult already.
So you must think like adult, act like adult.
Papa work hard to pay for your studies. So you got to work hard also.
I don't need to tell you what to do. You should know what to do.
From Monday onwards I won't wake you up anymore. You wake up yourself."

Me:
"Don't worry, Ma."

Mum:
(No expression)
"Ya okay?"
(Thinking)

Me:
(Softly)
"I will know what to do, okay. Don't worry."

Mum:
"Your results like that ah. 60 plus like that very hard to get into the school you want.
Make sure you know how to manage your time and handle well."

Burden.
At that moment, I'm feeling burdened.
I have to set my priorities and really act like an adult.

Adult...
