"When you can't look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark."

This chapter has a soundtrack.

~🌹~

Thanks for heaven's sake weekend has made its way and this time I have made a promise to myself that no parties these two days. Mia and Jenny were persistent on getting me to the party but I clearly said a 'no' which did make them sad them ending up with pouty long faces.

Two knocks on the door interrupts me from watching the show I have been deeply into for the first time with no worries.

"Sarnai, darling."my mom's voice is sweet clear like honey as she calls me dearly knocking on the door. I remove the duvet covers which lays over my body covering me from the cold air conditioner and decrease the volume of the television as I make my way to the door to only get a sight of my mother dressed in nice floral peach coloured dress.

"Yes mom."I beam at her as she enters my room."You look beautiful as always."I compliment her and her eyes crinkle at both the sides hearing those beautiful praising for herself.

"Your dad is going to come anytime soon."she plays with her pearl necklace which adorns her neck beautifully and I am trying my best to not frown at the news of my beloved father arriving again who has been gone the week long with an excuse of work but god knows the truth behind and the suspicions don't get less.

"And thats the reason of you dressing up?"I sigh out loudly which comes out intentionally to show my mother a tinge of disapproval in my tone of how much I don't approve of the behaviour she goes around with when the golden face of the family pops out from nowhere.

"You know he is trying to be better?"my mom desperately tries to get a knot of bumble feeling which seems too unstable to control inside myself and I try my best to not burst out at my innocent mother.

"And you are fool to think that."I look away from her to blink away my tears which forms at the end of my eyes now, as I think about the awful behaviour meted out at my mother my sister and me myself.

"Don't say that."her voice pleading as if she was trying to conclude with her eyes still blinded with that sick feeling called love. I don't understand how can she still be wrapped up with a person who has tried multiple times to assault her, not tried but assaulted her.

When I had tried defending her she had pushed me away or on the days he would come back she would send me off to my friend's and leave me whole worried. After I would come back she tries her level best to cover them up with some makeup on but this would make me more angry.
