Are we fighting the same battle? |
Excerpts from Alfian Saat’s ‘Homesick’
Patricia: I thought you liked living overseas.
Patrick: I do, Ma. But I think each time someone says goodbye it’s a way of saying ‘yes’. Yes, you win. Yes, I give up. Yes, you’re right, I can’t change anything. I want to have that privilege to say ‘no’. And I can only say ‘no’ if I stick around. Does that make sense?
Patricia: Are you coming with me, Patrick? Yes or no?
Patrick: No, Ma.
Patricia: If you wish, Patrick. |
