Sprouting bitterness inside, he ran at flying speed to his mother and hugged her with teary eyes.
-You’re home and I’m calm,” saying, her mother patted her back.
The two had not seen each other for so many years, and now that they met, the mother’s eyes were also filled with tears.
Yanis looked at her mother with reddened eyes and asked her:
-How is my dad?
-After last night’s urgent treatment, the doctor said that he should be under observation for 48 hours, if he could get through these 48 hours in a safe state, then nothing serious would happen to him, but….
When Yanis heard this number, he almost fainted.
-48 hours… doesn’t that mean two days? How can he be in such a serious condition? Where is he now and can I see him?
-I will take you to the ICU, but you have to see him on the outside, because the doctor does not allow multiple visits now and your relatives have come once in the morning,” the mother shook her head.
On the way to the ICU, the mother suddenly frowned and said:
-There seems to be a strange smell, what is that smell?
Yanis was so worried about her father that she didn’t smell anything strange, so she shook her head.
But at this moment the mother dropped her gaze on Yanis, as if she had discovered something important:
-Yanis, why have you come to the hospital like this?
Since they had not seen each other for so many years, seeing her daughter the mother was so excited that she did not notice that her daughter had come to the hospital dressed in her pajamas with a bit of stain and her hair in a ball.
-Mom, what’s wrong? Let’s go see daddy first.
The mother paused and thought for a moment, saying:
-If you go to see your dad like this, he might faint in anger at seeing you, even if he were awake now.
-What have I done? -Yanis asked in bewilderment.
-Look at that tousled hair of yours! The chicken coop is prettier than your hairdo! And that sour smell I just smelled?
The mother approached her daughter and sniffed her, then turned away from her in disgust and said:
-Tell me, how many days have you been without a bath? Do you stink so bad that you didn’t faint the others on the way to the hospital?
Yanis looked at his mother speechless for a while and finally had no choice but to duck his head.
Yanis thought, “Well, so long without seeing each other and my mother is still being sarcastic – does any mother treat her daughter like she does?”
-Good thing you can’t go into the ICU, otherwise this smell might wake your father up and knock him unconscious again.
-Mom! -Yanis said anxiously, “Can you stop making fun of me, my dad is still in the ICU!
Hearing this, his mother gave him a complaining look, speaking:
-You even know he’s in the ICU? If he wasn’t so serious, wouldn’t you have come back?
Yanis did not know how to answer her.
-He said, “You can’t see him anyway, so we’d better go home and get you cleaned up. Look at you, you look so unpresentable.
-But I’m already here, I have to see my dad, mom, please let me take a look at dad in secret, just for a while and then I’ll come back home with you!
Finally, the mother took her to the ICU, and while Yanislo was looking at his father through the window, who was lying on the hospital bed, he started to cry.
-Damn old man, how can you be so careless about driving? You are already so old and you still have the car accident, which will be a laughing stock when it comes out,” said Yanis tearfully.
Seeing this, the mother standing next to the daughter could not help wiping away her tears, stroking the daughter’s shoulder and spoke:
-Good grief to the child! Your father is already in the ICU, but you still call him a damn old man, you’re a merciless girl.
The two hugged each other and began to cry.
About ten seconds to embrace each other later, the mother wiped her tears as she reproached her daughter:
-That’s it, you are not allowed to make noise in the hospital, we cried so we will disturb your daddy, let’s go back home to cry if we want, by the way, wash yourself well -when she finished the words, she pushed Yanis especially upset.
Her daughter said nothing and thought: ”It’s my mother and what can I do with her?
When they reached the house, the mother opened the door with the key, saying:
So many years without you having come back, but your room has always been cleaned for you, these days your father is hospitalized, so you move home, although the clothes are old, you seem to be thinner than before, so you can wear them.
Click.
The door opened, and Yanis entered the house following his mother. Seeing the familiar furnishings of the house, the urge to cry arose again, however, he did not succeed, as the mother patted him on the back of the head and said:
-Shower right now, and take off your shoes because I mopped the floor yesterday.
Yanis did not answer. The tears stopped because of this blow and Yanis entered the bathroom with a depressed expression.
-Why don’t you put your clothes on? Do you want to be naked?
-Mom, do you allow me to come in the house dressed like this?
-Accurate.
She raised her head to look at herself in the mirror, but was shocked and took a few steps back, looking at the disheveled woman in the mirror with a horrified expression.
She asked herself, “Is it me, why do I look like this?”
Yanis looked at herself in the mirror, pale lips quivering, and stroked her cheek with trembling hands. Her hair was as messy as a hen’s nest, her eyes puffy, her lips dry and peeling, her skin lacking lucidity, who looked like a woman who came from the mountainous areas.
No, women who came from the mountainous areas were beautiful, because the environment of those places was beneficial to people. Unlike her, so ugly.
If she went on like this, how would Zain like her?
She felt sorry for herself looking at her shadow, but what only turned out to be a joke.
Zain Nelson didn’t see her, even if he did, he wouldn’t feel sorry for her. Her life was getting worse every day, and people stayed away from her like a monster when she went out, and even her mother disliked her smell.
Wasn’t she staying bad in this state?
Yanis hadn’t looked in the mirror recently, and now that she saw her ghost-like appearance for a man, she suddenly felt extremely ridiculous.
She had been with Alice for so long, and then Alice and Kennedy broke up, Alice took a painful time, but not like Yanis.
For Yanis, all that just meant the end of unrequited love, they were going to die laughing if they found out about her situation.
Turning on the shower, Yanis stood naked under it, letting the hot water wash over her body.
Yanis thought, “From today on, I can’t go on like this. A person’s life is very long and I have many interesting things left in life to try, so love is not a necessity and neither is man.”
