This old lady had exactly nine hours left in my apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--after_p_1\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Imagine, girls: we&#8217;re sitting at the dining table, spooning soup, so quiet that you can hear the seagull&#8217;s scream from the downtown canal, here in Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">I cooked the borscht for three hours. With bone-in meat and beets, which I roasted in aluminum foil beforehand to give it a deep, rich color\u2026 you know, that thick, ruby \u200b\u200bhue. This city is hard on light and color anyway, so at least everything in the kitchen should be vibrant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The spoon flies towards me. It&#8217;s an old piece, heavy, with an &#8220;M&#8221; monogram on the handle. It&#8217;s an heirloom from my husband&#8217;s family, a legacy from their great-grandmother \u2013 Mary waves it as if it were a scepter in her hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hu.bonjourglamour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo-3x4-37.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--after_p_1\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The metal clanked across the parquet floor, and a red welt immediately appeared on my wrist. My first thought was stupid: \u201cAt least it\u2019s not a fork.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Maria sat across from me, her nostrils flaring. She always smelled of mints and a musty, warehouse smell. No wonder\u2014she had spent thirty years as a wholesaler. She was used to everyone standing at attention around her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u201cJ\u00falia, why are you silent?\u201d said G\u00e1bor, my husband.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--after_p_2\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--middle_content\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">He stared at his plate. As if he were finding the answers to the universe at the bottom of the soup. He was stroking his phone under the table, his shirt sliding up over his stomach. He was supposedly \u201ccleaning\u201d the device. He had almost wiped a hole in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u201cMom is just delighted,\u201d he grumbled without looking at me. \u201cShe says it out of love. She\u2019s worried because I\u2019m too thin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">I measured his jeans, which were already tight, and my own wrist, where the stain was getting darker. My arm was throbbing, yet a strange calm settled in my stomach. It was the kind of silence that came when a decision had been made but hadn\u2019t yet been put into words.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--after_p_3\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">I understood: if I swallow this now, tomorrow a gnat will fly after me. And the day after tomorrow it will also dictate where I breathe. No. In my home, only dust can fly, nothing else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">I stood up. Slowly, measuredly. The chair scratched the parquet floor \u2013 I had re-polished it five years ago when I bought the studio apartment I inherited from my aunt. M\u00e1ria was already frowning: \u201cWhat\u2019s the point of downtown? It\u2019s too noisy. You could have moved to the suburbs, closer to me. It\u2019s quieter for me, and it\u2019s shorter for G\u00e1bor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Of course, to make it more comfortable for him. So that I can adjust to his pace? Not anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--after_p_4\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">I grabbed a white linen napkin and wiped my wrist, even though I knew it was useless. The heat was creeping up to my elbow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u201cJulia, where are you going?\u201d asked Maria, her voice steady. \u201cI haven\u2019t finished yet. The soup is as salty as the sea. You\u2019re almost sixty and still in the clouds? Or are you just clumsy?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">I didn&#8217;t answer. I looked at the spoon lying on the floor, its dull glint on the parquet grain, and I felt that in the next moment I would finally speak.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-excerpt\"><span dir=\"auto\">his lying, humiliating game is stifling and outrageous.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-image post-card post-card__thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-reboot_standard  wp-post-image\" src=\"https:\/\/hu.bonjourglamour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo-16x9-36-870x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1610\" height=\"741\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u2014 Have you looked in the mirror lately? Tell me, who would need you like this? No money, no benefits, no sense at all, but your face is as big as if you were at least a minister! \u2014 Erzs\u00e9bet&#8217;s voice rang out sharply throughout the narrow hallway, as if she wasn&#8217;t even arguing, but rather wanted to break through the walls with a hammer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Please don&#8217;t yell,&#8221; I replied, not even taking off my coat. &#8220;I got off work ten minutes ago. Five urgent cases since morning, two yelling incidents in the department, and the bus broke down in the middle of the bridge. Let me at least take off my boots without giving you a lecture.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u201cTake off your boots!\u201d he snorted, adjusting his shiny bag on his shoulder. He looked me over as if I had deliberately rolled in mud just to annoy him. \u201cTell me, how long have I had to ask permission to enter this apartment?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">G\u00e1bor was standing in the kitchen doorway, wearing a faded gray T-shirt and sweatpants, his hands in his pockets. He looked as if he were discussing the weather. Only his eyes betrayed it: he glanced at his mother, then at the floor, then somewhere next to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Mom, stop it,&#8221; he said weakly. &#8220;Don&#8217;t start at the threshold.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Then when? In the cemetery?&#8221; he snapped immediately. &#8220;Or when this woman completely pushes us out of the apartment? Look at her! She walks around as if she owns the world. If I say a word, she makes a face as if we were begging her.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-ad\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">I slowly put my bag on the dresser. Fatigue surged up from within, like a heavy, nauseating wave. I knew this scenario exactly in a minute. First comes some small household excuse. Then money. Then my appearance, my age, my nature, my family background. Meanwhile, G\u00e1bor stands as a set. I listen. And at night, I stare at the ceiling with a pounding heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Five years. It&#8217;s been the same scene for five years, except for the season and food prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;What&#8217;s the problem now?&#8221; I asked. &#8220;Is there not enough salt in the soup? Are the towels hanging wrong? Or did I say hello with the wrong accent again?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Are you even mocking me?&#8221; he stepped closer. &#8220;I&#8217;m just telling the truth. My son carries everything on his back, and you just grimace. You push papers, sit among dusty documents, and then come home as if you were the breadwinner of the family.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Mom, that&#8217;s enough,&#8221; G\u00e1bor grumbled.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-ad\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u2014 What do you mean, enough? Isn&#8217;t it? \u2014 he turned his whole body towards her. \u2014 Does the utility bill pay itself? Does the food grow in the fridge by itself? Does the car&#8217;s gas tank fill by itself?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">I smiled, bitterly. The car. The holy cow. G\u00e1bor&#8217;s foreign car, bought on credit, which he adored as if it were a relic. He took on extra work for it, he put off renovations for it, he sighed that &#8220;times are tough&#8221;. But he never noticed when he ran out of washing powder, toilet paper, oil or medicine, or when the kitchen tap dripped. Moreover, the electricity bill came in my name, and somehow I always paid it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u2014 Utilities \u2014 I repeated. \u2014 And food. Cleaning products. The internet. And their son, who promises to buy himself winter boots for the third time this year, but instead spends on another \u201curgent\u201d car repair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t go rummaging through other people&#8217;s wallets!&#8221; screamed Erzs\u00e9bet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u2014 In someone else&#8217;s? \u2014 I finally looked at him straight. \u2014 So it&#8217;s not my money? Then let me ask you: who has been buying continuously for three years? Who paid the washing machine repairman? Who ordered the new refrigerator when the old one finally gave up? Who paid for the installation of the doors after his son said, &#8220;Someday&#8221;?<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-ad\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u2014 You&#8217;re lying! \u2014 he slammed the dresser. \u2014 G\u00e1bor takes care of everything! Everything! And you clung to him like a leech! Even your nature is unbearable! Who did he need you for? What did you come here with? With only a suitcase! No family, no dowry! He raised you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u2014 Mom, be quieter \u2014 G\u00e1bor interrupted, but not because of me. Not to protect me. Just like when someone is arguing too loudly in the stairwell. \u2014 The neighbors will hear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Something icy cold clicked inside me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">He didn&#8217;t say, &#8220;Mom, I can&#8217;t stand this.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">He didn&#8217;t say, &#8220;Don&#8217;t talk to my wife like that.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">He didn&#8217;t say, &#8220;You&#8217;re wrong.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Just say: \u201cThey will hear.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-ad\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">So the problem isn&#8217;t that I&#8217;m being humiliated to the point of smithing in my own home, but that someone could witness it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u201cImpressive,\u201d I remarked quietly. \u201cA model husband.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t start, Kata,&#8221; G\u00e1bor sighed, as if I had caused the scene. &#8220;You&#8217;re overreacting to everything.&#8221; Mom was blunt, but the point is&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The point?&#8221; I asked calmly. &#8220;I&#8217;m listening. What&#8217;s the point tonight?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">He shrugged like a student facing an exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u2014 The way you act like everyone owes you these days. You talk back. You&#8217;re disrespectful to Mom. You&#8217;re always unhappy. When I get home, your face looks like you&#8217;ve just come from a funeral.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Maybe,&#8221; I nodded, &#8220;because I get up at six, cross half the city, work all day, go shopping, and then come home to hear how worthless I am according to your family. That doesn&#8217;t make many people shine, believe me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">\u2014 Do you hear, G\u00e1bor? \u2014 Erzs\u00e9bet immediately picked up. \u2014 He even blames you!
