Mom, you won't believe the news I have for you today.
What is it this time, Brock?
Mom, am going on a mission at Philippine.
Really? Of all countries, God gave you Philippines?
Yeah, mom. Anyway, it was my dream to have an African country for my mission but well, God knows what's best for me.
That's the spirit, son. Cheer up. Philippine is a nice country too.
Mom, I forgot to tell you another good news.
What again?
Am going with Elisha.
You mean Jessica's one and only pampered son?
Yep. And so many names for one person by the way.
Hahahaha,
They both laughed.
Then am happy for you son. You going with your best friend.
Yes mom! Am happy.
What's all the shouting for, Brock?
Hey, Casper, bro. Come here, have something to tell you.
What is it?
Am going on a mission, bro .
At where?
You guess.
Dude, just tell me. You know I don't have time for your bull shit.
Your words, Casper! Their mom said.
Sorry mom. Brock, tell me the country.
Is Philippines.
What the heck! Hahaha! Ohh my goodness, Brock. Of all countries, you choose Philippines?
What were you thinking?I didn't choose that. It was choosing for me, bro.
Who did that? The bishop?
No, God.
You sure?
Come on, Casper. When are you going on your mission anyway?
And you think I will waste my two years life for that?
Don't talk like that, bro. When it comes to God, there's nothing like "waste".
Well, that's for you and not me. Am Casper and you Brock.
You only don't want to go because of that girl, Casper. Their mom argued back.
That's not true, mom.
Ohh yeah is true, boy. You think I don't know you have a relationship with that rascal girl of yours?
Mom, your words too. She's not rascal. She's pretty and hot than any girl here in USA.
Hahaha, bro, you have never visited every city and towns of this country so how can you say your girl is pretty than anyone?
Boy, I don't need to know. He flipped Brock's hair.
Casper wait, where are you going?
Going out.
To meet that girl, right? Their mom asked.
Mom, am not young anymore. Am 24 for God sake. Am an adult to do whatever I want.
I know you an adult but that girl is way your league, baby boy. Her parents are rich and they will never accept you for him. And in fact, she's only using you, dear.
When she's done with you, she'll throw you aside and go for someone else.
