"Thank God you came. She doesn't want to wake up. When we try to enter the room or open the curtains she fights with us." Sabelo's dad tells me when I decide to surprise Sabelo's mom. I guess this is the right day for her to go out. I hope my mom and I will be good company. I hope we'll help her forget whatever is making her so unhappy. Even if it's only for a few hours. I followed my father-in-law to the second floor. I hesitate outside the door until he tells me it's not the master bedroom. As soon as I open the door, Sabelo's mom starts throwing insults. The insults get worse when I open the curtains.
"Wake up madam. We are going out." I don't even know why I'm talking to my mother-in-law like she's my friend. But I'll do or say anything to get her out of bed and out of the house.
