Chapter 25 "Everything"

Six months later

"Really?? I can't believe it!!" Vicky exclaimed

"Yes!!" I said giggling "Really..!!"

She started giggling too.

"I should have been there to watch her face with my own eyes!!" She said through her giggles

"I told you before. I could barely hold back my laughter, I don't know how I managed to do it!!" I said with a chuckle

I was telling her what happened yesterday with my mother, Dimitri and Fotini.

It was quite funny because of my mother's reaction, although she was about to have a heart attack.

Yesterday noon I had visited my mother in order to take some baklavas that had baked.

She knew how much me and Markella loved that dessert, so she called me to see her and take some with me in house in order Peter and Markella eat some too.

Before I leave, she decided to bring some dessert to Dimitri and Fotini too. So we were walking out of the house together.

Flashback

"I don't think Dimitri will be home now mom.. she returns home with dad. Since dad hasn't come yet, Dimitri won't be there either.." I said

"It doesn't matter. Fotini with Christos will be there." She said "Also I took my key."

Oh here we go again!!

"Mom what have we told about the key?? It's given to you for an extra necessity or a difficult situation, not to use it whenever you want!!" I reminded her

Actually I believed that my brother shouldn't have given a key to my mother.

I know that giving a key to someone that you trust if something bad happens is necessary, but my mother wasn't the right person.

She used to open with her key whenever my brother was at work in order to check on Fotini, on how she cooks, does the housework and raise her son.

Although Dimitri had caught her twice and told her not to do that, she never stopped.

Poor Fotini never told the truth to her husband in order not to make him fight with his mother.

Such a good girl!! Being Galatea Alexiou's daughter in law was a huge achievement. She really needed a prize for tolerating her.

I had one key too, but the other one should be given to my father. He would know better what to do.

"So?? It doesn't matter.. maybe Fotini is busy and can't open. So why should I get her more tired??" She asked

"Mom both of us know that you want to check on her and discipline her for whatever she does!!" I said

"You don't have a son and you can't understand!! He got married that useless girl and in fact she doesn't know how to do anything!!" She complained

"Mom first of all, since he is satisfied and happy with his life, you don't have a word to it. Also another thing that both of us know is that she is a very good housewife and that's annoys you, because she wasn't chosen by you and she doesn't do some things the same way you do them, but Dimitri still likes his life!!" I said

"Ugh!! Enough talking about it, I know very well what I'm doing!!" She said stopping the discussion

She knew very well that I was right but she didn't want to admit it. She was too proud to admit it.
