And there it ended

It is not easy for me to maintain this relationship with you”– He

“But we used to live together from several years. We will maintain this. I know.” -She

“Please try to understand my situation. I will not be able to maintain this relationship from distance.” -He

“But why not? I trust you, and so do you. Then what it will take, to maintain this?”–She

“See, I love you, but I am not going to come and meet you for months’. I will not be able to give you my time. And maybe I will not be able to talk to you for a week or so. We will not be happy. Just think and then response” -He

“In my life I just have you and if you still ask me for a response then this is really stupid of you. You are my life BETA(son).” -She

“That I know MA(mother), but you only tell me, after going to the USA, I will be far and will not able to come and see you. I think this is a better option that you will move  with me.” –She

“No son, it is not that easy to leave the place where my childhood belongs, where your father and I met and got married. The place where I spent my 67 years with different phase- happy, sad, emotional. I saw you growing here.” -She

“But Ma, if I will leave you here, I will not be happy there. See, if my father was alive, I would have left you. But in this condition- NO” -He

“Son, I don’t want to be a burden for you or your wife.” -She

“Seriously MA?…. Burden???” – He

“I just don’t want to leave INDIA.” -she 

“Are you sure? I should leave you alone here and go?” – He

“Yes, Son.” -She

Next morning he dropped a mail to his manager-

Hi Ratan,

I thought about the promotion you offered to me.  But you know I just have 3 members in my family, and I don’t want to leave any one of them behind. If I will agree to move to the USA, my mother is not going to come with me. So, I apologize for denying your offer.

I am sure you will understand my situation. 

Thank you

Arjun.
