- Grandma, Why Do You Hate Us?
Juan Luis
Since I woke up next to Kathy I haven’t been able to find peace. She was very excited about what supposedly happened between us, but I’m not stupid. The fact that I fell asleep all of a sudden is too suspicious. And if we had been intimate as she claims, there would be signs. Come on, I haven’t been with other women, but I’ve slept with Amy for twelve years and I know how one feels waking up after having str
But I’m going to wait for her to tell me what really happened. Regardless of that, there’s a deep moral burden within me. Now I feel as if the betrayal towards Amelia were completely real. I’m not saying that having a relationship with another woman and kissing her isn’t betrayal, but I’ve never been intimately with anyone else, and that makes me feel uncomfortable.
When Katty woke up, she threw herself into my arms and wanted to “repeat, according to her words, but I avoided it. Her naked body next to mine would be a complete temptation for anyone, but strangely enough, I didn’t feel like touching her. I saw she was upset, but I tried to play dumb. I need to clear my feelings now more than ever
before making things worse.
I haven’t spoken to her since Friday, and I promised to spend all Sunday with my kids. I’ve been neglecting them too much, and that’s not good. They might think that with everything that’s happened, they no longer matter to me, but that’s not true. They are my driving force in life, apart from my love life
I’m outside my house. Well, my old house. I feel too nostalgic. I wish I could turn back time and return to one of those days when, like today, I would stay outside for a moment, observing the place where I was so happy. After a few minutes, I honk the horn to wait for my babies to come out, which doesn’t take long I see they each have a small backpack
There is a certain hope within me to be able to see their mother, but I’m not lucky. She doesn’t appear to say goodbye to them. I look towards the window. Maybe she’s watching us from there, so I give a small waw of farewell.
“Hi, Daddy. I’m so glad you came: I really wanted to see you” My lovely Lily sways has the words that warm my soul, while Tony looks at me indifferently,
“Hy kids. I’m happy to see you. Let’s go have breakfast and then we’ll go to my parents‘ house. Or if you have any plans, just let me know, and we’ll do it”
They smile happily. Apparently, they did miss me. I take them to a place we used to frequent as a family for breakfast. The waiter, who already knows us, approaches to greet us and ask if we’re going to order
“Family! It’s so good to see you. And the lovely lady, didn’t she come today?” I shake my head while I see the kids lower their heads. “That’s a shame. Are you going to order, or should I come back later?
I decide to order at that moment, so the man leaves. The kids got sad, realizing the magnitude of the separation between their mother and me. Outings with the four of us will no longer be possible. Something inside my chest hurts
“Guys, I want to apologize. It was really my mistake, but understand that I’m human and wanted to seek the happiness that appeared in front of me. I’m sorry for causing you pain” They remain silent, but wanting to change the atmosphere, I start asking them questions about school.
Little by little, the mood improves, and soon, the three of us are laughing and joking as if nothing had happened. After breakfast, they tell me they want to go to the movies to see the latest film, but since it’s still early, we head to my mother’s house. They aren’t very happy about it, but I want them to spend time with their other grandparents

When we arrive at the house, I’m informed that my father went out and my mother is still in her room. I leave the kids in the living mother. I knock on the door, but she doesn’t answer, so I try again.
“Mom, it’s me. Can I come in? The door finally opens, and I see my mother come out with a towell on her head.
“Come in, son. Did the kids amive?” I see joy on her face, and although it seems a bit strange, I imagine she has already realized that she loves them as her grandchildren and missed them.
I place my hands in a
“Yes, Mom, they arrived. Please, I ask you to treat them well. They are very hurt by my actions, so I don’t want to make them feel sadder. Please.” I pla pleading position. I hope she doesn’t give them one of her cold shoulders.
“Don’t worry, son, treat them well” She gives me a smile that I can’t quite identity, but I’m going to have faith in her
I return to the living room with the kids and turn on the television to play a video game when my phone rings. I pick it up to see who is calling, and Katty’s name appears on the screen. I frown a bit puzzled, and get up to answer in the kitchen
“Hello” I say shortly. Upon hearing my voice, my girlfriend begins to cry.
“Love. It’s me. I’m sorry to bother you, but I feel bad and didn’t want to scare my mother. Do you think you could come? What she asks puts me in a predicament. On one hand, I know I should go see her, but on the other my kids are here, and we have plans. But she’s still crying, and I can’t leave her alone.
“Okay, give me half an hour. Have you taken anything?” She explains that she has but thisn’t taken effect. I hope that by the time I get there, the feels better and I can return quickly. I hang up the phone and go back to the living room.
“Kids, I have something to take care of and need to go out, I hope I won’t be long. Could you stay here for a moment?” The kids hesitate, but in the end, they nod. I know this is offour plans, but I really hope I won’t take long
My son is a fool. He brought the kids right to me. I’m going to talk to them. If they think they can come and take over my house, they are very mistaken. My new daughter–in–law is good at convincing my son to abandon these kids. And that’s exactly what I was waiting for When I hear my son’s car leave, it’s time to go greet “my dear grandchildren”
I go down the stairs and see they are playing video games in the living room. That annoys me a lot. They know I don’t tolerate unnecessary noise. television and turn it off. Both of them look at me. They don’t say anything because they know there’s no love from me for them
see your mother keeps spoiling you. Don’t you know how to greet?
They sit up rigidly but upon hearing my words, they stand up
So, I approach the

“Good morning. Grandma “they both repeat. I approach them. I can see some resemblance they have with my son, but they look more like her. The hateful and stupid

“Your father won’t be back soon. His girlfriend called, and he’ll stay with her until late. So, I’m going to ask you to sit there, without making any noise. And get used to li like this because when my son wins the divorce case, hell ask for custody, and you won’t see your pathetic mother again. And then, the only orders you’ll follow will be mine, Understood? The girl starts to sob, while her brother holds her hand to comfort her
“Grandma, why do you hate us? The defiant boy asks, looking me in the eyes. Hate them? Yes, I do. I despise these kids.
“Why do I hate you? Very simple. Because you’re the children of that woman I loathe with all my soul. Because she got pregnant by my son to trap him and try to ruin his brilliant future. Because you resemble her. And I know that by making you suffer, she will suffer too. And forget about going back to your mother. You won’t. And I don’t c if you tell your father this. He’ll always believe me.” A laugh escapes my mouth. I have them in my hands.

“Don’t even dream about it, lady. From this moment on, we decide you’re no longer our grandmother. As for our father, if what you said is true, that he here to run to his new girlfriend, it’s the last thing we’ll tolerate from him.”
came to leave
They start packing their things and hold hands to leave. As they walk out of the house, I start to laugh. They’re kids, where do they think they can go? But a few minutes pass, and they don’t return. I go out to the street and don’t see them, I start to get nervous, When Juan Luis returns and doesn’t see them, he might want to blame me. Bu know he’ll believe whatever I tell him it’s always been that way
