" Days are getting hard" said Misky's mom, sipping her cappuccino. Her face was pale and she looked terrible.She had no makeup on and her lips were pale. Misky's Dad gave her one of his dirty grimaces. Sometimes, Misky wished both her parents didn't fall in love in the first place. Love was supposed to be beautiful not for giving out dirty looks.
"You keep moaning like a dying goat"Misky's father said.He took a sip of his cappuccino and made a face.
"Who made this?"He yelled.
"I did" Misky's mother said, showing no emotion.This was a daily unromantic routine between her Mom and her Dad.It had to happen every single day ,until the worst had to come.
her mother stood up and she was turning red.
" I am fed up!!' she said.Misky's Dad looked at her like her Mom was a rotten animal.
"What?"he asked, almost confused and angry at the same time
"I am fed up and tired of you treating me like...like an animal" Her father took a sip of the cappuccino he 'disliked' earlier and stood up.
'" You've got it all wrong " Her father said, pacing around the room." I bought you from your parent's.You should know that you are mine" He said smiling.
" Are you saying i am your property? Are you saying i am a thing!" her mom said raising her voice. Things were getting horrible.
" Don't you dare raise your voice at me!!!" her father yelled.
"Mom, please......."Elmas began.
" Don't you realise how you promised me that i will always....."
'SHUT UP" he yelled.
"You are nothing but a Jerk!!!" Misky's Mom yelled at the top of her voice. Her father raised his hand and she fell next onto the beautiful, decorated table. A picture frame which had the photo of her Father and mother's picture on the day of their wedding, fell next to her mother the cover glass shattering to pieces.Her father in the picture had his arms around her mom's super skinny waist.They both looked so happy-in love .And now it was all over.
Her Dad just slapped her mother.
" Listen" he said, pulling her long, silky black hair while her mom was crying in pain." And listen to me very carefully' he said, pulling her hair more tightly." you have no place to go and i will never divorce you. You could dream about it every single day and night. It will never happen.Your parent's are both DEAD!!! You have no one on your side-so just cooperate." her mother was crying until her hands were shaking,her lower lip was bleeding and her cheek was swollen.
"OK.fine' she said faintly " just let go!!!'she said in pain.her father loosened his grip, starred at her and left the room.
By the time he was gone, Misky was in tears and Elmas was in a shock. her mother stood up and dragged herself to her daughters.
'it was nothing" her mom said, as though nothing happened." your father was just angry that's all'.
she hugged her daughters and Elmas could feel a tear drop roll itself on her back.
