Broken 2 (THE COMEBACK)

Fifty nine

Helen was having a depressing weekend, it was Sunday morning and the house was deabbeat quiet.

It never use to be like this, on Sunday they had this little family ritual of having a feast for breakfast. It was the only time she could enjoy with her family before work takes her away..

Now she's all alone in the kitchen wearing her ugly sleeping ropes the very one Landon hates.

She use to wear it to spite him and it was funny watching him make that face. But he is not here anymore and it really hard getting use to him not being here anymore

She hates it when she feels this way, it so unfair for her to be feeling lonely and empty. He was the one that cheated he decided to throw a sixteen years long relationship away from some whore he met couple of months ago 

It so sad, and now Ethan doesn't want to come home. He left on Friday and hasn't even bothered to call her since then

She took the bottle of milk from the fridge and gulp it, she spill it all over the kitchen counter. The milk has turn sour. And that was the last one

No wonder Ethan doesn't want to stay here, the house is a mess she hasn't lawn her mown in weeks and she wasn't able to find the number her neighbor gave her to call the gardener

Basically her whole life is a disaster, she looked at herself in the mirror and was disgusted. The spilled milk was all over her shirt and pajamas

Her hair was a tangling mess and the sad part is whenever she steps out through those doors, she forgets everything she was so eager to do while she was at home.

So instead of sulking like an angry bitter lonely old woman she decided to do some deep cleaning.

But before that she tried to call Landon but he wasn't answering so she dropped a message on the home line

"Ohhh hey Landon, how's is it going... I tried to call Ethan since yesterday but his line has not been reachable. Kindly bring my son back home to me as soon as possible. Tell him I am making the Sunday ritual and he should come home with an empty stomach "

She tried to sound as chirpy as possible. the sooner she accepts that things are screwed the easier it gets for her so sometimes she just have to pretend to be cool with it

Dancing to her favorite Michael Jackson's album and singing on top of her lungs she did the laundry, clean the house, empty the fridge took out the garbage.

Then she went to the market and bought groceries. Cooked what looks a hell of a feast for two people.

Food was ready, she had cleaned up nicely too wearing a black dress
Landon still hasn't called back.

She had dropped that message over three hours ago and nothing. He didn't even bother to drop a text or something

She was slowly losing her cool, when his car pulled in the driveway. She took deep breaths to keep calm making sure she doesn't lash out like the other time especially in front of Ethan.

She opened the door and they walked in wearing matching outfits, a yellow T-shirt with words inscribed on it

"Hey guys..... Nice outfit, what's this about "
She hugged her son

"Hey mom. We had a rally after church service today "
Landon goes to church.... Since when, that is an interesting development

"Wow..... Cool, did you volunteer for anything "

"I distributed handbills "

"That's my boy. You must be exhausted, go freshen up while I set the table. I made your favorite "
