Novel & Cerita How Old Is Your Mama

Chapter 33 - Blow up Garren "Did Penelope cancel our meeting, and you just forgot to tell me?" My mother's soft voice filled the silence of my study. I stopped my pen mid-swoop. My head snapped up, unease filling me as I stared at my mother in confusion. Her blonde hair was down today, making her look younger than she was. To a human, she would look like she was in her mid to late forties. When in actuality, she was well over eight hundred years old, my father fifty years older than her.

I do miss my Ma and Pops. "Hi, Mom," I mutter, sighing but also trying to maintain my laughter. Fuck. "You're not getting any younger, Mr, and I do want Grand-babies" she says softly, but her tone carries steel and I need balls of steel to go up against her motherly, no bullshit voice. And it's ones I do not carry. "I'm thirty-six," I reply. "Not ancient." "Baby," she murmurs, "you're my firstborn." And here we go.

It was bad enough her ass was dangerously close to my crotch. "Hmmm." Mom cooed. "You feel nice." "Umm, thanks." I said lamely. "Been awhile since I've had somebody to lie next to." She sighed. "And who knows how long since it was someone who wanted to be next to me." As she spoke she turned her head to the side so that she was looking up at me. Our faces were only about a foot apart, and I found myself marveling at how young she looked. Of course in reality she certainly wasn't old. Mom had met my father while still in high school and had gotten pregnant right after graduating. So although I was closing in on twenty one she was just shy of her thirty ninth birthday. I realized I was staring

"Papa is your soul mate, When did you meet him?" Fiona asked slowly and a small smile played on her mother's "When I was 18," she hummed softly. "Mama, my mate loves me the same way papa used to do to you?" Fiona asked again, her mother chuckled at her naive question. "Yes my love, when your mate finds you, he will not be able to look away from you, you will be the key to his heart... I assure you” Her mother replied and smiled her way and she smiled back.

“I'm seventy one.” “What?!” I took a step back in shock. How could she be that old? It didn't make any sense! She could be an asset to my great cause if she was telling the truth. “Are you talking me the truth?!” “Yes,” she responded calmly, looking a bit offended that I did not believe her. “Then how old was your mother?” “She was killed by the werewolves at the ripe age of eighty nine. That poor woman didn't get to live ninety.”

"That always makes me fight, aunt. Then when he gets angry, he puts me to sleep." I raised my eyebrows. Well, that's reporting? "Luh! It's not possible Ma, that's just an invention." "Ha... look auntie is still denying." I was about to answer when Mama got ahead of me. "Goodness, you are so cute," said Mama excitedly. "May I know how many years, months, weeks, days, or minutes you have been?" "Seriously Ma? Just a minute?" I asked laughingly. "Yep. I see someone on my F******k feed celebrating their minutesarry together."

“Please be chill with the flirting. You won’t want to have another baby, will you? Mummy just clicked 42. She is still years into menopause, so be careful.” Hailey smirked observing her mother’s disturbed look and left.

foolishly? Mom could plainly see by the discoloration and distended nature of my 'reproductive organ' that she was 'getting to me.' She was disappointed that I had not cracked yet. She was running out of ideas. Deliverance came when a commercial appeared. It was for baby powder, a pretty mother with her newborn. She noticed I watched with almost religious attention. Mom: "You know Jimmy, I am still only 40. Do you know how long women can have babies?" Me: "I don't know...till they are 40?"

That was enough to shut me up as my mother stormed up to me and held my face harshly by my chin. “Catherine, please calm down!” Aunt Celine tried but was ignored. “I am your mother and I do love you!” My mother almost growled. “Do you even know how old I am, mother?” I sneered at her, unable to control my tongue. This might just get me killed but I ain’t going down that easily! “18 years 5 months 17 days.” She answered without even taking a second to calculate. “Do you need the hours and minutes too?” She asked.

With the closeness of their body, she thought that her mother did really loss some weight. She remembered what happened back in the mountain again. She noticed also that after that incident, her mother change. It seems like she became weak. It seems like ten years was added to ger current age. Even her white hairs are now visible. Amara can't help but to think that something is wrong. Her mother was jolly and energetic before whenever she see her go home to their province. She would always smile at her but now... Three months had passed but seeing her mother's appearance right now, she really did aged a bit.
