A Bento with Hamburg Steaks

(This is a cryptic story!๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒˆ✨ Enjoy!) 

Ever since I started junior high school, I had been bullied by a deliquent classmate. 

The bullying ranged from having words such as "DIE" scribbled on my personal belongings to getting beaten. 

I think I was probably depressed. My mother was worried about me, but being a kid, I took my frustration out on her.
I would sometimes even hit her in a fit of temper. 
One morning, after a night of particularly bad angry outburst, my mother --- whose face was painfully swollen --- handed me a bento (lunch-box)** , saying "today I put your favourite meal in it --- a Hamburg steak." 
She was smiling and I nearly teared up as I went to school. 

But just my luck, the bully turned up at the lunchtime, saying he had forgotten to bring a lunch with him. 
I tried my best to fend him off but he hit me and wrenched the bento from my hands. 

"Your bento tastes great. LOL," he said, and ate it all, and afterwards threw the empty bento back to me. 
I was devastated and went home crying...
When I arrived home, my mother was already crying and, although she was surprised that I came home early, gave me a tight hug. 


The bullying stopped from the next day.

**Bento --- Japanese portable meals. Some people make really elaborate bentos like those "chara-ben" below, which often are arranged to resemble characters from anime and manga.

So it seems his mother had enough of him and thought of him as being uncontrollable as the days past, so she decided to sprinkle a little bit of "poison" into that steak. Mother was devastated because she didn't expect the son to come home but I guess she also realized where her son's frustrations are coming from?
Got the bully, though, so I guess it was a win for the boy. Really interesting and dark stuff!

I'd say the mother is solving the problem from the root cause

Mothers can be scary people. Though I wonder who her target was, the child, who beats her or the bully. I would make my own lunch boxes if I was that kid.
thanks, Saya-san!
eyy why people are so dark. meanwhile i have a little bright deduction(?); yep the mom poisoned the bento, but i do think she was crying because she regretted a lot after that, therefore she hugged her child after she knew the kid was still alive.
the bully's fate should not have known at the little span of that time, so yeah, the mom should not know what happened with the bully before the kid went home.
let's be positive alright =v=) b

This one kind of reminds me of a story:

A boy who lived with his mom killed his sibling. Panicked, he threw the body down the well in the backyard. The next day he checked, and the body wasn't there! Getting more confident in his twistedness, the little boy continued to bring friends and strays over to kill them, and toss them down the well.

As this boy grew into a man, he stayed with his mother, enacting his awful deeds. Eventually his mother grew old and, not wanting to take care of her, he killed her too, and tossed her in the well. The mother's body never vanished.

For this story you posted, I wonder if the mother knew her child would maybe get his lunch stolen and poisoned it, assuming it would end her suffering no matter if the child or the bully ate it.

Hi Saya-san. I too think the mother poisoned the bento. But the bully got his karma. Happy Chinese New Year everyone !

Hello! I am sorry for being late in displaying the answer!

As everyone rightly guessed, the answer is that the mother put some poison in the bento and the bully possibly died from it! The mother, we think, wanted to originally kill her own son!

In the story, it says the mother was "already" crying when he arrived home, which also suggests she is guilty!

Thank you everyone for your comments ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ’“✨๐Ÿ’“✨
You were so quick to give an answer and I was amazed! Well done ๐Ÿ˜†⭐
I hope she was regretting her action!๐Ÿ˜†✨
I guess it's sort of a happy ending!๐Ÿคฃ✨
Haha ๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸŒˆ✨Thank you for the dark humour!
I bet the hamburger steak is no longer his favourite meal ๐Ÿคฃ✨
That's really nice.๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’ž✨
Perhaps she felt relieved that she wouldn't go to jail too!๐Ÿ˜†✨

I think you are talking about this story!

If the mother had predicted both of those outcomes, she must be a clever woman indeed!๐Ÿ˜†⭐

Thank you Jack for your comment!๐Ÿ’ž✨
Exactly ๐Ÿ˜†๐ŸŽต✨
Yes! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ’Ž✨Poor mother must have been suffering so much!

omg This is the story! I think this is the first place I read it now that I think about it. Yay! I'm so happy to have found the origin. :D
Steeple said…
the moral of the story is, dont beat your family or they'll Get you. especially not those who cook your food. but i guess its a happy ending? haha

reminds me of a story, maybe it was here? about a woman who "recycled" food to use in her abusive boyfriends omurice.
I nearly sent your comment to the spam folder by mistake.๐Ÿ˜†✨

Yes, that omurice story is popular! I put the link to it on "I Lone Carrots" post!

You are right, never offend someone who cooks your food!๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ⭐๐ŸŽต

As much as he hates being bullied, I feel he has also opened up a can of worms in his mother reinviting her past traumas. Unable to take it anymore, she decides to get rid of her son who is taking his frustrations out on her, he was also bullying her. The bento was meant to kill the son so she wouldn’t be abused anymore, but was eaten by the bully instead. When the son came home, she must have hugged him in remorse for even thinking of such an action.
@Hashibrownmoto

It’s a sad story ~ ๐Ÿ˜ญ and you are probably right! Thank you for your comment!
You have an interesting name btw๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ’•
