MOTHER, WHERE DID I GO WRONG? Pt 2

Mama: Oh I can see! So this is how you have turned my son to your cook. So he even cooks for you before leaving for work. You are an idiot. Lazy bones! By the time I am through with you, you would realize that you can not ruin the life of a boy I carried for 9 months. No! Not when I am alive. I won't take it.

That was it.  Mama began to hit me. My husband tried to stop her by explaining to her that it didn't matter and that it was an old mentality. He then added that, if a woman could also work to assist the home financially, he saw nothing wrong with a man occasionally helping out in cooking .

Mama: Son...! Do not be a fool. I can see that this woman has brain washed you already. I'll kill her today!

Mama continued to hit me till I could escape into our bedroom. I was so broken. I felt terrible. My husband walked in to apologize as usual. But this time his apology didn't mean anything to me. I told him that I  had made up my mind to live my life and ignore mama totally. I added that, if the house felt too unbearable, either of us would have to leave: MAMA OR I. He looked at me for a minute without saying anything, smiled, then reminded me of the food he had prepared for me and went to work.

After he left, I  took my bath ate and went out to see my friend. I didn't return home that day till my husband came back so as to avoid any further trouble with Mama.

After I had prepared for work the next day been Wednesday, I and my husband stepped into the living room to find food served on the dinning table with Mama sitting by it. I felt my heart skip a beat on seeing her positioned like that. Then I gathered courage to greeted her but she refused my greeting.

Mama: My son, I cannot allow this woman ruin you. You are my only son and you ought to be enjoying the benefits of having a wife. Spare me all those Oyibo rubbish. How can a man leave for work without eating well. Look I prepared your favorite native soup .

My Husband: But Mama I'd be late if I eat. Besides, I am used to skipping breakfast. I don't see the need of bothering my wife. I am just fine with whenever she can  prepare breakfast Mama.

Mama: I repeat.. Spare me all those Oyibo rubbish! If you do not eat this food I would never forgive you.

My Husband: Alright Mama! But only if my wife can join me.

Mama: Of course she can. She has no shame. I am the one that now prepares food for my son's wife. Well, If she won't do it, I would because I can't watch my son suffer!

My husband knew I wouldn't eat the food so he looked at me, winked and said with a lovely smile... ''Honey If you do not eat with me I wouldn't eat. I am sure you want Mama to forgive me right?''

Deep within me I could sense at once that it would cause more trouble if I do not eat. I knew  Mama would accuse me for not letting her son eat her food. So I joined in though with mixed feelings.
