The mother-in-law called every day exactly at 2:00 AM: we couldn\u2019t sleep because of her and were furious until we found out the real reason for these calls \"\ud83d\ude31\"\"\ud83d\ude28\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the wedding, my husband and I enjoyed a peaceful, cozy life in our apartment. Everything was going well\u2026 until a strange nighttime call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 2:00 AM, the phone rang. My husband woke up before me, answered, and turned pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mom\u2026 is everything okay? \u2014 he murmured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She only asked:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Son, are you asleep? Is everything alright?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was strange, but we decided maybe his mother was feeling unwell or couldn\u2019t sleep. I even felt a bit sorry for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the next night the call repeated. And again\u2014exactly at 2:00. She called, spoke almost in a whisper, and asked the same question every time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Son, are you asleep? I just wanted to know if you\u2019re okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started getting angry. We were exhausted, not sleeping enough, my husband couldn\u2019t focus at work. I became more and more irritated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the third night, I suggested turning off the phones. But at 2:30 AM\u2026 there was a knock at the door. The mother-in-law was there. She stood in her nightgown, barefoot. Not a trace of embarrassment on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 I couldn\u2019t reach you\u2026 and I was scared, \u2014 she said calmly as she entered the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was furious. But my husband still tried to be patient. He loved his mother, although he admitted it wasn\u2019t normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This went on for over a week. We dreaded the night. We begged her to stop\u2026 in vain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once, I even shouted at her, but she just smiled. When, after a few days, we finally learned the real reason for these nighttime calls, we were simply horrified. \"\ud83d\ude28\"\"\ud83d\ude31\" Continued in the first comment \"\ud83d\udc47\"\"\ud83d\udc47\"<\/p>\n\n\n

That day, we decided to turn off the phones again. We wanted to get some sleep at least once. We were sure the mother-in-law would come again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that night she didn\u2019t come. We were surprised and even relieved. I woke up very happy and rested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the day, my husband and I decided to visit her. Just to check\u2014maybe she was upset or sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we opened the door to her apartment, a strange smell hit us\u2026 She was dead in the armchair. The phone in her hand. It was off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death occurred around two in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then it hit us like an electric shock: we hadn\u2019t been getting calls because she couldn\u2019t make them anymore. She was just afraid of dying alone, she felt everything, and we were heartless people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always answer your parents\u2019 calls. Maybe they are calling you for the last time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
