THEO
"Did any of your brothers call you?"
My body stiffened as I heard this question from my Mom.
She finally asked the most dreading question that I have been silently praying that she doesn't ask. I don't want her to feel sad and heartbroken.
Those two are part of the reason why my Mom is always falling into depression. She doesn't know what she did to her sons for them to abandon her, avoiding her like a plague. It's so disheartening and I don't want her to think about it.
Stanley, my younger brother called me two days ago, but that was because he wanted to ask for money from me and not because he wanted to know about our mother. What do I do now?
Should I lie to my mother about his call or not?
I looked at my mom's expectant eyes and winced silently. I don't want to lie to her
