TEARS OF SUFFERING
Ama returned from her tour. The next morning, she was
in the living room, watching television. Ugyen shuffled
towards her, grinning.
Ama grinned back. “Come, sit here.”
For some time, Ugyen hesitated. “Ama, um…”
“Yes?”
“Thank you all for fostering me,” he said, gulping.
“What do you mean?”
“I think I should find a job. It would be difficult to get
one in the future.”
“What kind of job?”
“Um, any kind of job.”
“What?” she looked at him with disappointed eyes. “I
thought you might want to become a doctor or
engineer.”
“It’s my dream, Ama.”
Ama gave deep thought to it. “No, you won’t.” She got
and stomped into her room and slammed the door.
In the evening, Ama relayed it to Doctor. Doctor
beckoned to Ugyen to come to the living room.
