PART 1
My mother-in-law cut my hair while I was sleeping, right after my promotion at work. My husband saw my messed-up head and just said, “Hair grows, obey.” I didn’t scream; I grabbed my phone, canceled three cards, and this morning, a fall no one saw coming…
—If you really want to remain my son’s wife, tomorrow you resign and learn to obey.
That was the first thing Valeria heard when she woke up with a terrible burning sensation on her head and a cold neck. For a few seconds, she thought she was still trapped in a nightmare. The previous night, she had arrived home late from a dinner in Santa Fe, where the company had just announced her as the new sales director. Her teammates had congratulated her, her boss had told her she was “the pride of the team,” and she had gone home with tears of exhaustion and happiness.
But upon opening his eyes, happiness turned into horror.
On the pillow lay long strands of her brown hair. On the floor beside the bed lay Dona Carmen, her stepmother, holding a razor. My mouth was tightly closed and my gaze hardened, as if I hadn’t just done something cruel, but something necessary.
Valeria touched her head and felt an almost bald patch.
“What’s wrong with me?” he shouted, jumping up. “Is she sick?”
“You’re sick, you think you’re a man because you bring money into this house,” replied Mrs. Carmen. “A married woman doesn’t arrive early in the morning smelling of wine and surrounded by strangers.”
The noise woke Raul, her husband. He entered the room with a bored look, as if the problem was that he had been woken up and not that his mother had attacked his sleeping wife.
“Raul, tell him something,” Valeria begged. “Your mother cut my hair while I was sleeping.”
He looked at the floor, then at the machine, then at Valeria. He sighed.
— My mother went too far, yes, but you’re not helping either. You don’t cook dinner anymore, you’re always in meetings, you brag about your position. What did you expect?
