"Mom, what happened?" I ask as I bend down in front of her.

She shakes her head with her face hidden and tries to stifle her sobs but it's too late, it's clear that I've heard it.

I don't know what to do so I just wrap my arms around her and hugged her and tried, in silence, to make her feel better.

"Mom, please tell me."

She didn't respond and we stay like this in what seems an eternity for me.

I feel powerless because I just suck at this. I want to help, I want to do it with all my heart but I can't because I don't know how to act in this situation.

Her crying fades gradually, once she stops crying I sit in front of her and I wait, I wait for her answer. It feels weird, being here, sitting on the cold tile with my mother looking like a little girl. It’s just weird.

I really wait for her, after a few minutes she lifted her face and wiped her tears.

"You want a glass of water?" I asked, whispering.

"Please," she replies not looking at me. I stand up and run to the kitchen. I pour a glass of water and make my way back to the bedroom.

I sit on the bed and I wait for her, she is on the bathroom and the door is closed. Maybe she's preparing her words because I won't accept a "no" for an answer.

My mom walks out and I handed her the glass. She drinks small sips and I make a space in the bed to her, hoping she will sit next to me.

She can be liberal and crazy sometimes but she's discreet, she likes to keep her things in secret and that makes us similar, but I don't want this to happen, not today. She can't ignore me and pretend nothing happened, that would be even worse.

Surprisingly my mother sits next to me and rests her hands on her lap.

"I argued with Mike," she sighed. "Things got a little out of control and that's all."

"What happened to the lamp?" I question, my eyes on the lamp.

"Things got a little out of control and that's all," she repeated without looking at me. I barely hear her voice.

"He did that?" Mom nodded and I covered my mouth. "What did he want with it? Was he going to throw you that or...? "

"No, no," she shakes her head, "He just threw it and it scared me, I-I never ... never thought Mike would do that."

I don't answer, I'm not able to. At least for me what Mike did is an act of violence. Mike is a quiet and hardworking man. We have a good relationship and I respect him a lot but this is something new, something I would never expect.

Now I don't know how to feel and I don't know what to think about it. It scares me but at the same time I want to try to understand. It could have been an impulse but he could have hurt her. Maybe he did it just to scare her? What was his purpose to throw that lamp?
