Lamenting a Son’s Choice

When the Mother of a Celebrity (MC) wanted to know more about the Current Woman (CW) of interest of Her Son (HS), she arranged for the three of them to have dinner. Meeting parents is a crucial step for one who is about to or into a relationship. Approval of parents guarantees support and acceptance, as well as peace of mind for concerned parties.

The appointment was set and HS was excited because MC could finally meet the person who has been giving him the reason to smile and test his boundaries. As they were having dinner, MC was having a hard time dealing with the situation because every time she asks a question, HS would answer in behalf of CW. Perhaps, HS was really just excited and he wanted to make an impression on MC. However, MC felt disappointment because she could not get answers from CW. HS kept butting in during conversations.

However, the wise mother that she is, MC invited CW for dinner. This time, HS was no longer invited because MC was serious in wanting to know more about CW and how she has been influencing HS lately. Incidentally, MC knew that sooner or later she would be asked on her impressions of CW. She knows that she has to have a truthful and sincere answer, which she would only be able to achieve if she were to spend time with CW. She knows that by putting in a good word or two for CW, she could indirectly help in polishing the image of HS as well.

The big day arrived. Known for being prompt, MC was already at the venue ahead of CW. To her surprise, two bodyguards were sent ahead to the area. Then, after a few minutes, CW showed up with more bodyguards. The scene was quite awkward because MC was surprised that CW could have so many people watching her. By contrast, MC was simple and did not even call attention to herself even if everyone knew she was the mother of HS. Disappointed, MC limited her interaction with CW and left within a quarter of an hour.

While HS seems happy to be with CW, even to the point of sacrificing his image and reputation, MC is still ambivalent. However, after meeting with CW, MC fixed a date with a Woman from the Past (WP) of HS. MC just wanted to see how WP was doing. WP agreed to meet with MC. Not surprisingly, MC spent more time exchanging stories with WP than CW. The two women laughed and updated each other with the latest happenings. After their meeting, MC reflected on what had transpired and reaffirmed in her heart that she had always wanted HS to end up with WP. Yet, she was only just a mother and regardless of the personality of the woman HS chooses to be with, she would just have to be supportive.
