Broken With My Mother In Law

“Yes son, much better, thank you. Honey, I’m a little hungry.” After she was discharged from hospital, her face returned to its original color and she recovered very well. She looked at him on her side and told him that. He was currently helping his mother on his right hand and the other hand was carrying one of Diana’s bag. I took the bag that Donald was carrying in his other hand.

“Can you help me get something to eat? Is there any restaurant near here? I am really hungry.” 

“Yes, let’s go there to find you something to eat.” They went out to walk to the nearest restaurant they saw a while ago.

I just look at them going out. I didn’t go with them anymore, instead I went inside the house to rest. I was sitting on the sofa when the front door opened.

It was Fritz, his mother’s assistant. What is she doing here? Did Diana tell her to come here?

She was struggling with what she was holding when she looked up to me, she saw me and instantly smiled.

“Hi, Linda, nice to see you again. What brings you here?” Fitz walked in with her bag in both hands and sweating profusely. 

“Are you going to move in, too? Did Diana tell you to be here?” What’s Fitz doing here? Aren’t I going to take care of her boss?

“No, I won’t live here. I just went here to help in moving Mrs. Field things. By the way, prepare some weapons in your room, you will need them. don’t forget it, ok? If you want to live here peacefully you will need them.” Well, it seems that I think too much, but… I don’t understand why I needed those and what I would do with weapons. After saying that, she went to the inner room with the things in her hand. I saw her putting all those bags in the room.

When she is done, she goes out of the room. She then looks at me as if telling me to heed what she said.

“Well… I see.” I looked at the back of her leaving.

She opened the door and once again looked at me before she stepped out of the apartment.

Thinking about what she said, I was stunned. I don’t know what she really meant but guessing what she said I think I know where I will use those.

A couple of hours passed. Donald and his mother finally arrived. They went to sit on the sofa while chatting happily.  I just watched them as they were conversing.

When I thought of something I stood up and went to the room.

In the evening, Donald and I were having a conversation.

“When will you come back?” I ask him. I sat on the bed and shook my hanging legs. Donald was going to some medical conference again and I didn’t know when he would come back. I didn’t want to be alone with Diana. It was too difficult. I am afraid to be alone with her because of her illness. I may again trigger her anxiety and it will be bad for the both of us.

“I’ll be back soon, my dear, I promise. Are you sure you have nothing to do with taking care of her? Is it really ok with you? ” He is packing his bags. Preparing for the conference he will go to.

“Yes, I mean, I will only take care of her at night, right? Besides, you said that she sleeps most of the time after taking the medicine given by the doctor, doesn’t she? Or does she have any plans for the day?” there should be no problem if she will do what Donald has said to me.. Since she sleeps most of the time, it will not be too tiresome to take care of her. not unless she will do something that will really annoy me. knowing what she did to me in the restaurant. I can’t guarantee if she really will do what she was supposed to do.

“You see, I know my mother is a little difficult to deal with, so if you have any questions, call me as soon as possible and I will take the first flight back, I promise. Don’t worry too much. I will be here for you. You just need to call or text me.” I feel at ease after listening to his words.

“Well, you need to go home as soon as possible.” I stood up and hugged him tightly, praying that he would come back early. I don’t know what will happen to both of us if he comes back late.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Yes, I will. As soon as the conference is over, I will have the earliest flight here. Who knows? Maybe by the time I come back, you two will have become good friends.” I smiled, and when I wasn’t paying attention, he hugged me to bed, and I was really shy but I did not fight with him anymore. I just let him do whatever he wants.

“Ah, am I in the way?” Diana came in without knocking at the door, and she didn’t want to go out when she saw us in that awkward position. She was still waiting for us.

Donald replied to her mother saying, “No mother you were not disturbing us. You can come in. Why are you here by the way? Do you need anything?” he got up immediately when she saw her.

“The person who hosted the banquet called. He thought I was going to hold another wedding. He sent a sample of tableware, because I told him your favorite color, and I also said that it should not be pink.” She paused for a moment then continued to speak. “Therefore, from now on, everything about the wedding must be approved by my future daughter-in-law.” Diana came leisurely with a beautiful set of tableware, and made it look like I liked it. She also agreed that I should organize the wedding. And I was really relieved by what she said.

“Thank you very much. Thank you so much for doing this.” I’m glad she can do this, and I appreciate it.

“Really?” Of course, it’s true.

The phone on the desk suddenly rang, we all looked at it but Donald was the one to answer it. “OK, I’ll be right down, thank you.”

“By the way, how about this set of tableware? What do you think? Is it to your liking?” Diana raised the tableware in her hand and asked my opinion.

“Wow, how beautiful, Diana, thank you. I really like it.” I took the tableware in her hand and observed it carefully. The pattern on it is very beautiful and the workmanship is very fine. I have to say that her eyes are really good. It was really made intricately.

“I’m glad you like it. When I saw this tableware, I instantly thought of you. So, I hurriedly went here to let you see it.” She came forward and hugged me. 

I was stunned for a moment, but returned her hug.

“The car I rented has come to pick me up, and I have to go first. Goodbye, mother, goodbye, dear, I love you. Have a good time together! I will be back as soon as possible” Donald watched us hug each other and said goodbye with joy.

“Don’t worry dear, we will have a good time. I will be a good roommate. I swear, it’s good to have a girlfriend. We will have a lot of fun together.” She hugged me tightly and didn’t give me a chance to relax. Before I said goodbye to Donald, he had already gone out with his suitcase. I was so sad that I didn’t even hug him before he left.

“Yes, we will live well.” I’m almost breathless in her arms.

Late at night, I couldn’t sleep because of a cry in my sleep. I tried to open my sleepy eyes and turn on the light. The light was a little dazzling. I immediately got out of bed and went to Diana’s room with the cry.

“What’s the matter with you, Diana? What happened? Are you ok?” I saw her hiding under the quilt and crying loudly. I don’t know what to do.

“I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep well alone.” She said while still crying under the quilt.

“I’m by your side. Don’t cry. Did you forget to take your medicine at night?” I pulled open the quilt and helped her lie flat. Then continue to say “I won’t leave you, I will be here for you. Relaxed. Everything will be okay.” I was reassuring her.
