Chapter 4 - Over-thinking

    

{The energy consuming thing is not always pursuing the path we have decided,  it's about choosing one. One wrong decision and you may end up somewhere in your darkness}

  

  The whole night my mind was trying to figure out what my dad meant by his statement.  The evening's scene was continuously playing in my head. My avidity to know what was going on in my family was increasing.

        The fact that my mom broke my dad's heart was just impossible. Most likely he's faking up. Everything. She could not do something like that,  I mean never. She was just too vulnerable to hurt anyone. It was as if the wraith of this secret was just haunting me.

       I should talk to her, I shouldn't hide anything from her, she's my mom afterall,  but what if that fact hurt her? What if she really did something?  Somehow I had that gut feeling that if I brought up this topic, this will worsen up my parent's life.  I can't be that desipient, I thought to myself.

        I had only one option left.

        "Babe, Its 1:30 AM. What was so important that you couldnt wait? And if its about a boy I'll kill you!" Rachel replied in a dead blunt but groggy tone. She was obviously sleeping and I had just hitched her beauty sleep. I didn't care about her sleep though.

       I told her everything what happened in the evening. My problem stumped her.

       After a dead silence,  she finally spoke up.

       "Maybe he's just fooling around, you know how he is "

       "And what if he's not fooling?"

       "I don't know. He's trying to make you weak, he's just pretending to be as frail as lily so that you give him your sympathy and in return you suspect your mom. You know right that he's good in manipulating."

     "HE WAS ANGRY THAT TIME ,  He just said that unintentionally and I think he regrets saying that because after that quick revelation he didn't come home, he never showed up till now." I realized that I was speaking  way too loud. My dad didn't show up at dinner,  I was worried and maybe that was the reason why I was affected by that fact , that secret or watsoever it was.

       Rachel was silent the whole time. Maybe she was waiting for me to be back to normal. "Maybe he's just telling the truth and I'm being judgemental" ohh Lord!!  I was so confused.

      "So you gotta investigate,  Sherlock " she replied in a cowboy accent which made me smile a bit.

     "Watson,  only if you help me" I replied in same tone.

       We both started laughing. Even though the situation was serious and it was past midnight..  Rachel had a charm of making me laugh when I was upset.

     We decided to meet up the following morning to discuss the matter.

      I was unable to sleep the whole night. Maybe I was over thinking, or maybe I wss just depressed by the thing,  or maybe I was getting nervous. Maybe.
