Had a call from his mum. Hmmm... didn't understand the rush he had to get home that time. He told me later that he got paranoid. Still didn't understand what he mean.

Now I fully understand. His mum had cancer. It has been 4 years. She has been undergoing chemo. Once every 3 weeks. Everytime he takes leave it's for his mum. He has to bring his mum for chemo. 4.5 hrs each session. It's not the 4.5hrs thats taking a toll on him. Its the side effects after the chemo. She'll collapse while standing and god knows wat other effects she's experiencing.

Not sure if anyone can scacrifice tat much for their parents. I guess it's the love and responsibility for the parents which will motivate one to go on. At the same time family up bringing plays a very important part too.
