Confessions of a wife after her mother-in-law passed away

by: Asmaa khalil


At that young age, when she was a young woman, she was unable to determine the form of human relations between people, and she was unable to feel in advance the feelings of the elderly. She was just her. She believed, when she was twenty years old, that a person who was forty years old was old, and that she had a right to live longer than him. It was just the intellectual absurdities of what teenagers go through, but when she went through the same experience, she felt the real pain that only those who have tasted it know.

She was the apple of her husband's eye with her breathtaking beauty... her dark brown eyes... her soft hair with its flowing locks... her great height... her beautiful body that tended to perfection in everything... her gentleness and the sweetness of her voice...

She was newly married, and whenever her husband took her to her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law would cry because she loved her son beyond imagination and was attached to him, and she justified those tears by saying that she missed her son and his wife, even though they visited her constantly.

The beautiful wife twisted her lips in resentment whenever she saw the look of hidden sadness in her mother-in-law’s eyes, which she would not show. She was hiding a lot and smiling and getting up immediately until she saw them to bring all the food, sweets and drinks she had.

On the way home, the wife tells her husband: “I feel that your mother is sad when she sees me.”
The husband replies: “Not at all. It’s just that she loves me very much. Excuse her, but nothing on her part bothered you?!”
The wife replies: “Yes, really, she treats me well.”
Husband: “Then excuse her.”

Then they continue on their way back to their home, and they continue to enter the house until he embraces his wife and they melt in love, and every day the wife stays all day arranging the house and fixing what was ruined by the daily routine of life, and before her husband comes, she continues to decorate herself and wear her most beautiful clothes.


When the mother-in-law came to visit her son’s house to stay with them for a day, the wife was feeling the heaviness of the day because she wanted to enjoy life with her husband and only her.. The days passed as usual.. The wife became pregnant.. She gave birth to a son who became the apple of her and his father’s eyes.. Her husband’s mother came to visit them and spend a night with them. So the wife decorated and perfumed herself, and the mother also wore beautiful embroidered clothes, and when the son came from work, his wife and his mother rejoiced, and so did his mother. The wife kept looking at her mother-in-law and was proud of what she was doing.

After eating dinner, the wife continued to talk to her husband, and the mother continued to discuss with her son, while the wife was in distress, until the husband said, “We are going on a trip to the sea. Will you come with us, mother?!”

The mother looked at the ground in shame, indicating that she wanted that, but she was ashamed to say it to her son..

The wife asked her in anger not to agree. The son swore that if his mother did not come with them, he would not leave his place. The wife quickly said, annoyed and annoyed from within, while she appeared otherwise: “You must come with us, my mother-in-law.”

Happiness began to appear on the mother-in-law’s face and she beamed with joy. The daughter-in-law said to herself, “Why doesn’t this mother-in-law stay away from us? Does she want her time and the time of others?!”

And between the rising of the sun and the disappearance of the moon in the depths of the sky; The boy who was young grows up and goes to school, and fills his mother’s life with joy and joy. The mother-in-law died. So the wife’s life was only her husband and her son.

The wife wakes up with the morning breeze to prepare food for them, and she is filled with joy and activity, and she cares very much about her son. Her husband joked with her, saying, “This boy took you from me.” She laughs and is very happy. She gives her son his food and kisses him a lot after she personally supervised him putting on the school uniform. Then she bids him farewell as he descends the stairs and quickly goes to the balcony, waving at him until he gets on the school bus. She begins preparing food for her husband and son, arranging the house, and washing. She was very happy with her clothes and her heart was filled with hope. Several hours later, when her son was due to come from school, she stood between the balcony and the door of the apartment, and until she saw the school car, she rejoiced, and waited for her only son on the stairs, and when he came up, she hugged him eagerly at any time.

Homework and sports training.. Outings and breaks.. Buying clothes to choose for her son, who is her life.. A year takes a year with it.. And how happy her life was.. Suddenly.. What is this?!.. That extremely beautiful girl with brown hair that matches the color of her beautiful eyes. ...with a well-proportioned body and a slim waist.



My mother... my mother... this is my friend that I told you about... isn't she really beautiful?!... Come on, mother, let's set a date for me to marry her. The girl sees a woman with wrinkles on her face and a plump body. She is yesterday's wife... or today's wife.

The mother hurried to stand in front of the mirror to find a plump body, withered skin, and white strands of hair. Soon her son called to her: Come on, mother. She hurried to them. Then the young man said: My bride is beautiful, mother. What am I saying right?!..
The mother looked, then found something pouring from her eyes and quickly falling down her cheeks. Then she looked at the girl again with a look mixed with pity and sorrow... Then she quickly said to herself: I will not cry... I will not cry... but her tears prevailed...

And between the past and the present, and her feelings that were mixed up in their interpretation, she found herself saying with a look mixed with remorse, remembering her lack of understanding of life in the past, and she quickly said: “I never understood your feelings when you were in this world.”
