Today was hectic as usual,I had to run so many errands for my boss,I just want to go home and have a good rest and I really hope mum and dad will be asleep before I get home, if not I am not gonna have my peace of mind.
On my way home after work, I walked down the road leading to my house. The street light’s helped me because it was past 9 and it’s not really safe to walk alone by this time, but I am used to it all.
When I got home,I opened the door quietly, so I do not wake mum and dad if they are asleep already.
I walked quietly to my room because it was dark,I guess they were asleep. As I walked quietly to my room I heard whispers coming from mum and dad's room. Out of curiosity I walked quietly to their room door and I kept my ear really close to the door so I could hear what they were talking about.
I heard arguments ‘why are they arguing’ I took my ear closer to the door so I could hear very well
“I don’t know what to do anymore I guess we have no choice but to use our only option if not we are all gonna die in his hand”I heard my dad voice ‘what’s happening are we gonna die’ I thought deeply to myself.
“Why did u have to get involved with that man, whyyy have you got us into this mess,I don’t wanna die we have to do it make sure to talk to him let him know u can repay him back ok”I heard my mom's voice she sound so serious and scared.
I heard footsteps walking towards to door,I ran as quietly as I could to my room.
‘What could possibly be going on right now’ I had this thought stuck on my mind unable to sleep
‘what’s going on in this house? as dad got into trouble again’ dad loves gambling while mum just buys cloths or useless stuff with the money dad borrows or my money,I work day and night for this family but I get nothing in return only curse and trouble.
For the last five months dad has been spending a lot of money gambling I literally do not know where he got so much money to spend looks like he borrowed money again, “ahhhh fuck what’s wrong with this family” I screamed inside my pillow so my voice could not be heard.
After many turns and thinking,I finally drifted off to sleep.
The next day I woke up extremely early so I could get the fuck away from this house but to my greatest surprise I saw my mum and dad sitting in The parlor, as if they where waiting for me.
As I passed by them I said my greetings and walked towards the door.
