7 Years Old

Mom: Nash wake up! You are late for school!

I rub my eyes as I slowly rise from the deep slumber.

*Flashback *
*I was watching Tom and Jerry when I heard my parents arguing
I turn up the volume because this is a daily routine
As I reach the end of my binge watching I hear my mom screaming, the younger me grabs the closest thing and runs to save my mom.
I see my father hitting her, trying to stop him I start hitting him with the object I grabbed on the way. *

So this is how my sleep was shortened and I got late.

In my house there's my mom, dad and my lil brother Sandy.

I start getting ready after the shower and leave for school.

I walk from the gate to the school building admiring the beautiful nature around me.
Art and music is my favourite class.
Finishing the day as usual I sit in the school bus.

When I returned home, my mom was still not back (she is a teacher in a college).
I see my dad watching TV and eating snacks, he didn't even bother to acknowledge me.

I change my uniform and get lunch for me and my brother.

Mom returns home shortly after.
Dad drags her to their room, I hear him demanding for money, mom got her salary today.

My 7 year old self can't do much so I just carry on with watching cartoons.

9 Years Old

Years passed with the same routine

My dad is still the same or maybe worse because now he broke some of my mom's bones. All I can do is cry, I am just 9 now what else can I do.

Me: Mom why don't you leave him, we will be happy without him!

Mom: My dear child I can't leave him, a woman can't live alone in this world and he's your father.

Me: But mom he never took any responsibility being with him is just a torture for us.
Throw him out of our home!

Mom continues getting abused by him.

The salary is not enough for the four of us
So mom is searching for a new job

A Few Days Later

Mom comes home happy,
Seing her smile makes us smile
I asked her the reason for the sudden change of mood.

Mom: You won't believe what just happened!

Me: What happened mom?

Mom: I got a job in a top university, but it's in another country so we are moving there.

Me: Really mom! I am sooo happy. (maybe I'll make some friends there)

Mom: I have spoken to your principal, we leave this weekend.

I was very excited to live in a new country
Maybe my life will change for the better and hopefully my mom will leave my father.
