"..."

My mom called and as usual left me with guilty feeling.

She long for a long talk with me and I said I'm still busy at the office, at 6:30 PM.

She asked when will be a convenient time for her to call me again and I said I don't know.

She said that why don't I consider work at the same town with her so that I won't be far away and I said I am busy to even consider it.

She want to know whether I have given thought about getting married and I said I am busy.

I am too busy to talk to my own mother when actually I know I can't make her happy because her happiness involves sacrifices I can't, won't, or couldn't afford to do.

Then she gave up and hung up on me.

And now I felt terrible.
