“This is so nice,” Emily told her son, whose name is Dean, after the waitress took their order and left .
The thing is the woman just wanted to get her son’s attention and talk with him, as he was focused on his phone all the time without even looking at her mother.
“Yeah, sure” he suddenly muttered, continuing to look at the screen. Then he looked aroundand said.
“I wouldn’like to sit so close to the restroom, but I know that with your wheelchair we can’t sit anywhere else.”
Her mother tried to ignore that rude comment by her soon and started drinking water.
“Still, it’s very nice that we are together dating after so long.
Tell me about your college? How’s it going? Is everything all right with your classes? Is there anything new you want to tell me?” she asked, wanting to be informed about her son’s life.
It is really sad, but Dean rarely called her after college, but Emily thought he just loved his independence and had found his way.
Of course, living with a disabled mother wasn’t easy, even with the caregivers she hired.
She did everything so that his son would be able to enjoy his own life. But of course, she wanted to hear from his son from time to time.
So she decided to organize a special meal and invited his son. She kept begging him to accept her offer.
Emily even bribed his son with her grandfather’s watch and it was really expensive.
Maybe that was the reason his son came… However, she didn’t want to think about bad things , looking on the bright side of everything. Such a strong woman
“Yeah, It’s fine, whatever,” he answered . After that she wanted to take her glass of water to drink, but accidentally the glass shattered on the floor.
It was so deafening that everyone who was in the restaurant at the time was looking at them. Dean finally looked up from his phone.
“For God’s sake, mother! I can’t even have a dinner with you without any scenes. Everyone is watching us.
I shouldn’t come.I knew something was going to happen, but you kept insisting! Oh God,this is so embarrassing.
Can’t wait for this day to be over,” he angrily continued throwing out.
Emily felt so bad knowing people were still watching them. His voice simply echoed throughout the restaurant.
After all that she couldn’t stop crying and told him, “Let’s go.”
“Wow, finally!”, he grabbed his chair and stood up.
“Hey, sir, wait a minute!” a man approached them and started talking angrily. Looking at him Emily saw the angry expression of his face.
“Listen, I… I don’t have…”, Dean started stammering. “You don’t what? How can you be so rude to your mom? You know that I would give anything to have my mother now by my side?.
She was the one who taught everything about life, love, hope and dreams. She was all alone and raised me by herself.
She was also disabled, like this beautiful woman. Because of her illness she couldn’t have a normal job, but despite all that, she did everything for me.
Due to her I never lacked for anything and I’m sure this woman did the same for you,” the man continued talking angrily.
“Today I have this restaurant and also many others in Chicago and not only. All due to my mom. Unfortunately, she can’t see my success now.”
After that Dean felt so embarrassed that he lowered his eyes to his lap. What refers to Emily she stared at the restaurateur, listening his story.
“How can you treat your mother like that. You should call your mother, talk to her and tell her about everything going on in your life.
You should appreciate that you have it right now, as it is the greatest gift you will ever have!
No matter how much money you make, you will never be a real man without her efforts.”
When Emily looked at her son she got shocked to see him crying and when she wanted to say anything, Dean started talking in a choked voice:
“Mom, I’m sorry.” H just couldn’t stop crying. Noticing all that Emily just wanted to hug him and make the pain go away.
“Ohh, honey,” Emily said. After that he leapt to his feet to hug herr.
“Now I can go and also want to say that your meal will be ready soon.
Someone will come now to pick up the broken glass,” said the owner and walked away.
After all that Dean sat back on his chair, turned off his phone away and began to talk:
“So, what I wanted to say… my classes are going pretty well, but also I can say that they’re a little boring,as well…”
Emily started smiling. It seemed as if everything changed instantly.
The dinner was fantastic and all that thanks to the owner of the restaurant. After that day Dean never mistreated his mother ever again…
