And now, he feels it’s his turn to pay her back for all the sacrifices she made.
Tom’s aunt was requesting if he could pass by her home to inspect her air conditioner. She explained her house was so hot ever since the air conditioner broke. Tom wasn’t happy with his aunt. She knew all she had to do was call him and he’d be there pronto to fix her air conditioner. But, she’d waited a few days before making the phone call. Her excuse was she didn’t want to take him away from his customers. Normally, Tom doesn’t charge his aunt to do any work on her air conditioner. Even when she needed a replacement for a while, Tom bought the new unit with his own money. He told her he got the unit at a great discount, but she was doubtful. Anyway, Tom didn’t listen to his aunt’s protest and did all the installation for free. See, he feels like he owes her a huge debt. Tom’s parents were in an accident when he was five, and he was left all alone. His aunt, who was his dad’s sister, took him in and raised Tom as her own son. She’s never been married, but she says raising Tom was all she needed. And now, he feels it’s his turn to pay her back for all the sacrifices she made. Tom’s aunt even paid for his training at the trade school to become a HVAC expert. He managed to pass his exams, get his HVAC certification, and start working for a local business. On that day when his aunt called, he was at her door at 5.30 sharp to fix her faulty air conditioner.
