When Grandmother Asks

Because of some errands I had to run this morning, I had to drop by my grandmother's house in Guadalupe to pick up some things I needed for the computer. I haven't been there for a long time, and not without reason.

She asks. But I don't want to tell her I'm doing OK and not to worry because I have a stable job.

I don't want to say that I'm planning to study again and move abroad eventually, like she expects what I would do.

I don't want to tell her that soon, I will have a house built for my mother in some nice, wealthy, and quiet suburban neighborhood, just like how she dreams of it.

Still she asks. But I don't want to lie to my grandmother.
