It's not between a leaf and a thorn.
It's between the dark and the day,
It's between the fire and the water.
Not just a child's fight,
It's the war for love
It's the war for desire.
"who is that krish? " I asked with my eyes full of tears
"My da...

"You are one bizzare kind Ian" I laugh hard "Who eats like that?"
"What's wrong in eating like this?" He defend "Seriously? What's wrong? Oreo biscuits in chilli sauce, that's disgusting!"
"Eda don't judge his eating habits" Mom chided playfully even she is trying hard not to grimace at his way of eating, he always find ways to kill my apatite
"I heard it will lead to internal ulcers Ian" Isha said to her brother
"You guys are judging my indulges, there's no freedom in this house, you are all racists" Before we all die of laughing dad entered
"When?" We all turned left hearing him coming out of his study "Okay"
"How is she arjun?" Mom asked when dad sat beside her
"She is out of danger but she needs lots of rest"
"That's what you said last night"
"Because that's what happened there ishitha" Mom sighed
Yesterday morning aunt naina was admitted to hospital, a mini heart stroke, she is not fat to think it's because of improper diet or high levels of cholesterol. Doctor said it's cause of high stress which wasn't a surprise for us, aunt naina has been neglecting her health since forever. She is becoming paler and lanky day by day, I can see the worry in uncle veer's eyes,is there a way to get her health back? Yes,His son! That bastard didn't show up yet, what a tyrant, can't he visit his mother at hospital. I am sure he has loads of money, in a second he can land in India in his private jet, what a waste of son he has been, I feel aggressive every time I look at aunt naina's sad face. He is the reason for this.
"Eda eda?"
"Uh huh yeah what?" I answer not knowing who called or what's the question
"I have called your name like six times" Dad said looking disappointed at my absence of brain.
"I zoned out dad, sorry" I whisper the last part.
"It's fine,check up on naina personally. Don't forget eda she is our family"
"Yes I won't forget" I mumbled.
It's like this since last few days or should I say exactly after the weekend, dad's behavior changed abruptly this time in viraj's presence. I thought I was overthinking but any sane man can see that, the change and I can't fathom. It's not new, in the last few months I brought viraj many times home,if he don't like him why can't he say it. He always do this, he deliberately let me have an unhealthy, unfair, secret relationship with that cheater,now he is not speaking his heart out about viraj, will he ever tell me his opinion.
"I am leaving" I got up, I can't act anymore, dad is being cold to me and I can't take it. He is my father,my inspiration, my everything how can I tolerate his rudeness. It hurts!
