 đ Hilda Berg & Her Motherđ
It was a beautiful summer day and it should havebeen a calm and peaceful day.
It should have been if Hilda wouldnât have had an unexpectedvisit from her mother. It was a surprise and Hilda hated surprises. She alwayswanted to have everything under her control and her mother knew it. Indeed, she camehere without any warning or invitation and Hilda did not stand this behaviour. Hermother was an unpredictable woman and nobody was able to understand what wasgoing on her mind.
The relationship Hilda had with her mother wascomplicated because her mother was complicated and Hilda used to lose all herconfidence around her.
Hilda has always been the perfect daughter, maybe alittle too narcissist and proud, but she was the daughter every parent woulddesire but for her mother she was not enough. This made Hilda angry and sadbecause she just wanted her mother to be proud of her. It was not easy becausethey were both two proud women and they would have never showed her own feelingsto the other. It was an endless circle of issues and unsatisfied desires.
Obvious, Hilda was not glad for this visit but shetried acting cool and she could not appear weak or irritated in front of hermother. She must appear perfect and show to her that she was able to take careof herself and maybe she was even a better woman than she was. Â
âI didnât expect your visit, such a pleasant surprise.âsaid Hilda, trying to hide her sarcasm.
âOh, havenât you seen my arrival in the stars,darling?â her mother said, giggling and she knew Hilda was lying because thisvisit was unpleasant.
Ah, not even the stars would know what youâve got inyour silly mind, these were the words Hilda wanted to say but she saidotherwise, âPhone was invented, so you could call me, didnât you?â and this wasa stupid question and she was becoming nervous.
âYes, but you know how I hate phoning, and it wouldnâthave been a surprise. Then I see youâre not busy at all.â her mother said,pedantic.
âI was working before you came!â Hilda said, hidingher irritation even this time.
âAnything important, I supposeâ and her mother startedto criticize her and this apparent peace was not meant to last.
âDid you come here to complain about my job?â and thistime Hildaâs tone was not controlled, her patience was already over.
âNo, I just wanted to know how my dear daughter isdoing, thatâs all!â she said with a calm tone.
âIâm doing fine, thanks for asking but I haveimportant things to doâŠâ Hilda just wanted to get rid of her mother or even to kickher out of her house.
âAh, donât be rude. Havenât I taught you good manners?âshe said with a sever tone.
âAh, ok. Can I offer you a cup of tea, mother?â Hildasaid, inviting her mother to take a seat. Hilda was not used to have guests andthis made her uncomfortable.
Her mother took a seat, while Hilda made the water boil.Hilda had a weird feeling, she knew her mother wanted to talk about somethingbecause her expression was cold and distant, as if she was analysing her andthis made Hilda wary and worried. Her mother was such a mystery for her and shehated being so vulnerable. She that was always confident and strong lost herown mind because of a silly woman who was unable to think about her business. Andthis woman was her own mother so things were even more difficult to tolerate.
âIâve heard youâre engaged with that weird plant.âsaid her mother and Hilda stood still.
âYes, and watch your mouth, mother!â said Hilda, coldly.
âWhy havenât you told me?â her mother said and shepretended to be offended.
âLike you careâŠâ told Hilda, with her voice filled withfrustration.
âOf course, I care but maybe you shouldâve told me!Thenââ said her mother and Hilda spoke before she could finish her sentence.
âWell, now you know. Are you satisfied?â said Hilda,confused.
âDonât interrupt me! Why him? I donât understand it!âher mother lost her coldness and her expression was stunned.
âWhy do you ask?â and Hilda answered with anotherquestion.
Actually, Hildaâs mother knew Cagney because he wasone of her daughterâs childhood friends but she did not like him so much.
âLetâs get serious, Hilda. I donât think heâs theright man for you⊠Well, heâs not even a man, heâs a weird plant, and heâs alsokinda creepyâŠâ said the older woman with her cynical tone.
âOh, God! Itâs so impossible for you to be happy forme but Iâd be glad if youâd ignore me, at least!â Hilda spoke with anger.
âNo, but itâs not what Iâve imagined for you. Heâs a gardenerand itâs truly weird. A plant that plants other plants⊠Not even a ChristopherNolanâs movie could be more tangled than this, darling.â  said her mother with sarcasm but this madeHilda angrier.
âOk, now I know your opinion so goodbye, mother!â andHilda was about to kick her mother out.
âOk, forgiveme, I didnât mean to offend youâŠâ said her mother with a softer voice.
An uncomfortable silence fell down on the room and thetwo women looked into each other eyes until Hilda spoke.
âIf you truly didnât mean it you wouldnât have talked.If you came here only to ruin my day, well, you did it. You ruined my day!â andshe just could not tolerate her mother anymore, even Hildaâs voice was lowerand her patience was vanished.
âIâm sorry, Hilda. I only want the best for youâŠâ shesaid.
âOr maybe you want only the best for yourself, youâvenever cared about me!â and finally she confessed the awful truth she hid untilnow. It was not easy to say.
âYouâre wrong, I care about you. Iâm not able to showit but it doesnât mean I donât love you. Youâre my daughter, I would never hateyou. Never.â she caressed Hildaâs cheek looking her in the eye and Hilda feltmore vulnerable than before and she felt her eyes suddenly wet.
âWhy havenât you never told me? Iâve always thoughtyou werenât proud of me, you always criticize me and everything I do is neverenough for you.â Hilda said with frustration.
âIâm actually proud of you. Youâre great. Maybe Ishould have encouraged you in other waysâŠâ and she sighed. Yes, her mother wastotally unable to empathize with other people, she often put herself aboveothers (maybe Hilda learned from her this behaviour).
âItâs not Cagney the problem here⊠Not even me!â saidHilda, perplexed.
âNo, itâs me⊠Heâs a good boy. Ok, heâs not ascientist and not even an astronaut, or a Starfleet Commander but if you likehimâŠâ she rolled her eyes, but she had to accept this reality.
âYes, but itâs okâŠâ Hilda said, smiling softly.
âYes, itâs okâŠâ her mother said, hugging her and thenthis silence did not seem so atrocious and the day was not ruined anymore.
The two of them drunk their cup of tea, enjoying the evening together, finding out the things that made them so different but identical.There was still time to heal the wounds of past and build a brand newrelationship between a mother and her daughter.
