"You can never do anything right! why are you such a mess! idiot !" Mom's shout brought me back to reality from all the drooling and googling I did earlier today. 'oh, man! what a way to end my beautiful day, cant I have a peaceful ending of my day, every fairytale have their own happy every after!' I said to myself with irritation. While Mom continued" Do I have to tell you every little things which and which needs to be done?, how can you be so irresponsible and still survive in this century!".
On entering, I witness a scene with our maid, Eboi who comes once in a week down on the floor with a look of horror and at my drunk mother, holding a flower vase.
The very moment I heard mom's voice, I knew my dream bubble of reliving today's sweet event will not occur.
Both of them turned towards me(I felt like the statue of liberty, ready to give the verdict), I tried to look as unaffected as I can be while I was screaming inside 'Does it has to be today,!!'
I asked mom to come with me and signal Eboi to finish up with the work. "Relax, its not good for you to be too excited " I told mom once inside the study, trying to be as supportive as I can be towards her. She cannot hold her liquor well, and can thus become very irrational.
Soon there will water work, sigh! I warn myself, mom would be all emotional and dramatic after the outburst.
"why she had to change the water in the vase, I just put in fresh water, for my favorite roses... blah blah blah.." . she continued on. I kept nodding my head like the Mr Noddy in children book.
"Eboi is trying to be disrespectful to me these days, Who does she think she is, blah blah blah..."mom continued to complain, I was just present by body, then in my amazement, I sighted a familiar looking person, was it Michelle? Mom's back was facing the window and anyway she was all sniffs sniffs and stuffs while, I could see clearly outside the window.
I spotted Michelle, washing a car, in grey shorts, and fitted turquoise tee shirt with a cute print that reads, 'Gotcha starring at me' on her chest. The print got me off guard.(I agreed with the caption and thus, nodded, with a smirk on my face)
She was standing on the bumper and was trying hard to clean the roof of the car, when she slip and fell on the grass because of the soap.
I almost got up (I blame, my fast reflex action! ) from my seat. When I saw her laughing away, with foams all over her. She was looking so damn sexy. No one would have looked so appealing as she did in that mess. I unknowingly smiled at my own thoughts. "Are you enjoying the woes of your mother!" mom's dramatic sentence brought me to sense, and I realize that I was smiling all by myself.
I immediately disagreed and automatically my eyes diverted to look out again, and to my utter disbelief I saw she was not Michelle but Pesky! I was day dreaming or should I say late evening dreaming.
What a disappointment it was for me. After that all the blah blah blah of mom did not enter my head, I just saw her moving her lips, gaping like a fish.
After a while, I excuse myself and went up to my room!
What a mess! , have I become insane!!! I scream inside my pillow.
