A Few Days Later

My life is going smoothly since we shifted here, all the teachers and students are friendly and welcoming, I am not bullied anymore like before.

Even Mom made some new friends here and dad befriended their husbands, we visit their homes and I play with their kids.

My Mom's new job is much better than the previous one, she has her own spacious office and her students are good too, I went with her recently and they were so loving especially since I am still a kid.
When my mom went to teach I stayed in her office and read books, played video games, and some brain training games, her colleagues gifted me some books, that made me so happy.

Now I am sitting in my room and doing my homework on the study table, it's math so very easy for me just like playing a game,
I have a lingual subjects in my school so I chose this countries language, I love it here and I would love to communicate better with everyone.

As I was on my second last sum, I heard my mom crying.
I rushed to her. What I heard was unbelievable my dad was blaming my mom for flirting with her friend's husband when they came over for lunch.

I am a kid but somehow I understand many things that kids my age don't, so I try to reason with him.

Me:" Dad stop hurting mom, she did nothing wrong, we all were there, if she did something you would have noticed and her friend would have noticed!"

Dad:"You Little Bitch! Stay out of our matter, this is between her and me so you better go to your room before I teach you a lesson."

Me:" But Dad! She wasn't even talking to him. Why do you always behave like this? Why aren't you like other dads? Why can't you be loving like them? "

*Slap*

My dad slapped me, I held my tears, but my mom tried to push him away and earned another punch. I couldn't stop him but we were strong, me and mom stayed our ground till he got tired and left.

That night when I laid on the bed, I could remember every time dad had hurt us, a tear escaped my left eye and then I was a crying mess

That night when I laid on the bed, I could remember every time dad had hurt us, a tear escaped my left eye and then I was a crying mess. Even my pillow became wet but I was too sad to care so I slept crying.

The next day when I got to school, Karen asked me what happened, my eyes were swollen.

Karen: "Nash were you crying, don't lie to me, aren't we best friends?"

"Nothing happened, I am alright, just couldn't sleep well last night." I tried reasoning with her."

"As you say, let's go to class."

The day went by as usual, being with my friends made me happy, and I forgot everything for a while.
When it was time to go home a felt a bit sad,
But I hope things get normal soon.

Days went by with the same routine,
And soon it turned into months
We all are settling good, I have friends but they are not so close,
I am still convincing mom to leave dad,
One of my friend's father is a priest and I told him about dad, he's going to talk to mom about it.

Today my mom will teach me cooking, starting with the basics. I am really excited.

We are in the kitchen and I am learning to make chicken soup. We got all the ingredients ready and since I am short I am standing on a chair to stir the soup.
I am very fascinated with cooking.

When the soups ready we taste it and I jump with joy it's delicious, mom's happy with me.

I am going to meet Karen at her house, mom dropped me and left because she had papers to grade.
I ring the bell and wait outside till she opened, While waiting I look around and touch the flowers in her garden, suddenly I feel a gush of wind pass by me, but it felt different, when I look around I see a silhouette of a man in the distance, feeling creeped I ring her bell again, and she opens the door. We get inside and start playing, I shrug the feeling of being watched and enjoy, Karen called Adam too and we played a lot, had a great time.

After playing me and Adam went back to our homes. I finished my lunch and started reading. The day went by..

The next day I convinced mom to take me to my friend's house and she took me.
When we were there, my friend's dad and mom spoke with mom while we played.
Hopefully he convinced her to leave dad.

Soon we left their home.

Weeks Later

Mom's been saving money for a long time and now bought some property, she is letting dad do some work on it or use it to earn money.

He's busy there so he doesn't bother us much.

I have participated in arts, sports and everything I am good at.
I will be turning 10 soon.

I practice in school for the competitions
Karen is very good at sports her dad is the coach.

I have learnt house chores to help mom
taking care of Sandy and the work .

Sometimes I help with the grading too.
Mom teaches me her psychology knowledge when something emotional happens.

So the competition is coming up soon in a few days and I am prepared but I am sure Karen will win in most of them.

The day of the competitions I won in art and Karen won sports.

Nowadays my emotions are getting really intense and I am getting colder.
Mostly when I am angry I beat someone.
Mom was called in the principal office today.
I wait outside because the principal scares me.
After mom was done with her, she took me home and asked me what's wrong because I was never violent.

I explained whatever I was feeling and she told me "The one who doesn't have control over himself will never have control over anyone else."

These words hit me deep and since that day I tried my best to control my emotions or to hide them. Because I don't want anyone to find me weak.

I have become a quiet and sincere student since I am in grade 5.
I almost ace every test and exam. I have started writing poems and articles too.
I have been cooking many times a week.

About dad, he went back to our old home to meet his mom so we are living in peace for now.

Days Later...
I was Shocked when mom told me that dad has not been in contact, so we go and visit the property he was using and we find that he has sold it to someone for a much lesser price. I tell mom that this is it, you have to leave him as soon as possible. He took everything my mom's happiness, money and now even the property she worked so hard to buy. Such a monster doesn't deserve my sweet mom.
