I was upset with Rocky. I always feared he would forget me once he finds a girl. That is what happened today. I always feared he would leave me alone if he found friends. That is why I always stopped him from going out with his friends and always kept him in horror that a girl could ruin his life so don't talk to them.

I don't care if people label me as a selfish mother. The bottom line was I wanted to keep him safe with me. I didn't want to lose my beloved son.

He did make a mistake today going out with Sarah without even telling me. He perhaps knew I would not let him go with her. This is the reason he didn't come to tell me. Now when I'm calling him, he's not even picking up the call. He just doesn't care about me, I knew it. He wants to keep living life on his own, alone, on his terms and conditions. He doesn't care about anyone's feelings. Not mine, especially.

I want him to marry a girl I choose for him. I don't want him to go after a girl who may stop his success. I'm sure I'll choose the perfect girl for him. After all, I'm his mother, and I can immediately tell who's lying and who's not as I have more experience than him to interact with other people. I want him to stay home so that he can focus on his work. I don't want him to start going to parties and clubs and destroy his future. I don't know when he would understand my feelings.

Seriously, if he's not picking up the call today, I'm not talking to him at least for the next few days. Moreover, he will need to stay out of the house as a punishment in the backyard. He's not going anywhere. Also, he will need to start giving me all his paychecks to me for the next six months.

I called him again, but still no answer. I called him once more, and then four more times. Yet, he didn't pick up any of my calls. I was going mad now. How dared he didn't pick up my call? His mother's call? I must punish him when he returns home, I thought.

I sighed in disappointment, and then I returned to my normal state of mind.

I walked back to the living room.
