“Don’t You Dare Touch My Mum’s Things,” My Husband Said “These clothes belonged to my mother. Why have you packed them up?” my husband asked, and his voice sounded like that of a stranger. “We should throw them out, Slava. We don’t need them, do we? Half the wardrobe is taken up with her old things, and I need space for our winter duvets and spare pillows. Our flat’s always a mess.” Olga spoke briskly as she kept pulling modest tops, skirts, and light dresses belonging to her late mother-in-law from their hangers. Valentina Ivanovna always arranged her clothes carefully, to keep them neat and tidy—a habit she’d taught her son as well. Olga’s own cupboards, by contrast, were always a chaos: every morning she’d burrow through the shelves hunting for a top or blouse, complain that she had “absolutely nothing to wear,” and then spend ages steaming the crumpled clothes she did find, which always looked as though a cow had chewed them and spat them out. It had been barely three weeks since Slava said his final goodbyes to his mum. Valentina Ivanovna had needed treatment—mostly hopeless by then—and some peace and quiet. The cancer had advanced terribly fast. Slava had moved his mother in with him, but she’d only lasted a month. Now, coming home after work, he found her things tossed aside like rubbish in the hallway, and was left speechless. Was that it, then? Is that all his mother meant? Just thrown away and then forgotten? “What are you staring at me like that for, like Churchill staring down a cabinet mutiny?” Olga retorted. “Don’t touch these things,” Slava hissed through gritted teeth, feeling the blood surge to his head until he almost lost sensation in his limbs. “What do we need all this old junk for?” Olga snapped, flaring up. “What, are you planning to turn the house into a museum? Your mum’s gone, love—you need to accept it! If only you’d cared for her this much when she was alive. Maybe if you’d visited more often, you would’ve known how ill she was!” Her words hit Slava like a whip. “Go, before I do something I’ll regret,” he said, voice shaking. Olga snorted. “Suit yourself. Psycho…” In Olga’s mind, anyone who dared have a different opinion was automatically a “psycho.” Not even taking his shoes off, Slava headed to the hallway cupboard, threw open the top doors near the ceiling, climbed up on a stool and got down one of their biggest tartan bags—there were about seven of them, left from moving house. He packed all of Valentina Ivanovna’s things away, folding each item neatly instead of just chucking them in. On top he laid her coat and a bag of her shoes. All the while, their littlest son, three years old, circled around, “helping” his dad—he even tossed his toy tractor into the bag. Finally, Slava rummaged in the hall drawer, found a key, and slipped it into his pocket. “Daddy, where are you going?” Slava gave a wan smile, his hand on the door. “I’ll be back soon, mate. Go to mum.” “Wait!” Olga called, alarmed, appearing in the living room doorway. “Are you leaving? Where to? And what about dinner?” “No thanks. I’m full—on your attitude toward my mum.” “Oh, come off it. What are you getting so worked up for? Get your coat off, where do you think you’re going at this time of night?” Without another word, Slava walked out the door with the bag, got in the car and drove off towards the A40… (continues as per the rest of the story)
