❤️🩹chapter 2:spring break begins❤️🩹
The moment I was out of that train, the moment I stepped on the land of my home town, I regretted it badly. I should've stayed in college, I thought to myself as I was watching my two older brothers, old like adult old, argue over something that I didn't understand.
And my father standing behind them giving them his usual scary glance that just makes you stay quiet and not mess with him. And there is my younger brother Langa, who looked so ashamed to be here. I felt so bad for the poor kid, he's in this age, in which you think everything is embarrassing.
"Ah, my little viper", I heard my dad shout, when he saw me. Yes, this is a nickname that he picked up for me, when I was little.
One time, actually the only time we spent together as a father and daughter in my life, was one rainy night. Dazai was outside, Ace was in his room and Langa was a little boy, a baby even. We were watching The Addams Family, a cartoon that I used to enjoy.
I was so envious of the love Wednesday had from her father. The point of the Addams family is that they are weird, not normal and mysterious, but they have unconditional love for each other. In their own messed up way.
And even tho the nicknames Gomez picked up for Wednesday were really weird, he still said them with so much love. I loved the way Gomez loved his kids and wife. My dad knew this, so to give me the same experience he picked up the nickname 'viper' for me, which for those who don't know is a type of a really dangerous and venomous snake.
When I was a child I used to love it, but when I grew up I understood that the nickname that my dad picked for me was weird. Really fucking weird. And I asked him why did he choose this nickname specifically.
"When I look at you..I immediately see a viper. It's not a big snake, it doesn't look as scary as a king cobra, but it's still strong and pretty dangerous. And it always survives".
My father thought of me as a strong character, who can always win in the end. The thing that he doesn't know is that his strong daughter has changed from strong and independent to a weak and dependent girl. I wonder what type of snake am I now.
My dad came and hugged my tight. It was nice of him to try and be a human from time to time, but just like me he is a very cold dude, but unlike me nothing changed him. My father works for the army since I can remember myself and this job requires discipline and so much sacrifices. The only thing that my dad never understood is that his job and his family are two separate things.
