CHAPTER 20: Home?

NADIA's POV

I looked at the view with a smile on my face and then looked at my parents. Just like me, they looked happy too.

"Are you enjoying our vacation, sweetheart?" My father asked and I nodded my head.

"Yes, daddy. I'm so happy right now because our family is complete."

"I'm glad, you're happy." He hugged me and then kissed me on the forehead. We're currently in South Africa, lounging at one of the most famous beaches in the country.

"See? We should do this more often." My mother said and my father was about to answer when his phone rang. He checked who it was.

"I'll just get this call." He said and then distanced himself a couple of meters away from us before answering it. It looked like it was an important matter because he looked so serious.

After that phone call, my father looked like he was distracted and brooding the entire time that we were there. Yes, he was with us physically but not mentally.

Then, the night after that, I went to my parents' suite to ask them to watch the fireworks display with me when I overheard them arguing. Looked like it was bad because of how loud their voices were.

I gingerly lifted my hand and was about to knock on the door but I didn't do it. My eyes watered. Growing up, I should've been used of all these because I've witnessed how my parents fight all the time even if they were trying to hide it from me. But until now, I still couldn't get used to it. Maybe, I wasn't numb enough yet.

I slowly walked away without any particular place in mind to go to like I wasn't myself until I found myself at the club of that hotel and resort. It was my first time entering a place like this but since I was already turned 18 years old yesterday, I could finally experience it.

I looked around and there were a lot of people partying for the night. I went directly to the bar and requested something to drink. Later on, I found myself drowning myself in alcohol.

It wasn't my first time drinking alcohol because when I was still 15 years old, my friends taught me how to drink. Well, it wasn't like I drink all the time. I only drink whenever I was with Kira and Paula.

But it has been two years since the last time I saw them because I cut ties with them after what Paula did to me. I transferred to another school and even if Kira tried to apologize, I didn't listen to her.

My mother told me firmly that I didn't need people like them in my life and I realized that she was right. I don't have anything to do with fake friends like them.

Thankfully, my parents were there, especially my mother, during the time that I was broken hearted. She told me everything that I needed to hear for me to realize that I shouldn't cry because of people like them.

I chuckled mirthlessly as I remembered about my parents. Why don't they just divorce or something if they're not happily anymore? I asked myself but deep inside of me, that was the least thing that I wanted to happen.

My parents were the most important people in my life and just thinking that our family would be ruined was already breaking my heart.

These past few days, I was so happy. We decided to come to South Africa to celebrate my 18th birthday here but this happened. Well, I should be thankful that my party was already finished yesterday. If not, this would've ruined my birthday for sure.
