I decide to walk home after I stomped off from the restaurant. I need some time to just clear my head, it has always been my dad and I against the world, I don't mean literally. I guess this was bound to happen at some point in life. I am now not the only lady in my father's life anymore. I mean I want to see my dad happy obviously, I am not selfish or anything, I was just caught off-guard, that's our tradition, even my brother knows this and even though we are not close anymore, he still respects that tradition every time we go out as a family. Everything is just messed up right now, my relationship is in shambles and now this.
I guess I was really lost in my thoughts because when I look up I am now standing infront of my house. I take my keys out of bag so that I can unlock the door, but I find it unlocked, I guess my brother is finally home. I walk inside the house and I hear the noise from the living room, so I go there.
''heyy Khal" I say, then I turn to leave the room, I am beyond shocked when he suddenly replies me.
"hie, umm what's wrong?" I don't know what to say since it has been a while since I talked to him about anything important. But the what the Heck, Sam has not returned my calls since yesterday so i guess he is the next best thing.
"Well I was out with my dad and his new flavor of the month" he rolls his eyes as I say this, but I pretend not to have seen it and I continue with what i was saying. " she broke my tradition with dad Khal, and dad just sat there without telling her that, we share our food always when we go out" and by the time I finish I am crying. My brother sighs.
"Rainbow, you are one of the most selfish person I have ever come across. Don't you want Dad to be happy?"
"Selfish! Im not selfish, and of course I want dad to be happy"
"How is he suppose to do that when you start throwing tantrums like that when he is trying to find someone to spend the rest of his life with, or are you planning to never move out and live in this house until you die? huh? are you going to marry him if you do not want him looking for someone, dad has put off dating because of you all this time, and now that you are in university he felt you were old enough and he could start focusing on himself for once, But noo, his life has to revolve around you and only you, typical Rainbow" he scoffs lastly
"Nah ah! I am not the reason why dad has not been dating, it never just worked out with all the previous ladies that is all, how can that be my fault"
"Rainbow! for crying out loud are you blind or something, dad is the perfect example of a great man. any woman would be lucky to have him as a husband. you remember the time dad was on a date with Lexi 9 years ago, you called him because you supposedly could not sleep without him reading a bedtime story and it had to be him even though I told Dad I would read it to you. Dad had to come home and it was not even your bedtime. it was Fucking 7pm and you cried until he came back and how convenient that you always had some sob story to call dad every time he was on a date. Dad had to break up with Lexi because he felt you were not ready for a mother figure in the house not to mention you had been refusing any lady for the past 10 years. You are soo fucking selfish RAINBOW. I liked Lexi and then there was Beth and you did the same thing to her too. Now you want to do the same thing to Nikki too. You may not realize this, but you are sabotaging your own father's future and happiness."
"Just so you know, the soo called tradition you are talking about, that was my thing with dad too before you came along and you don't see me whining about the fact that you took my tradition with dad, you still have your Thursday night dates with him all to yourself so just stop this craziness."
"I did not know that I was the cause of his break ups with Lexi and Beth" i murmur softly looking down. it is a hard pill to swallow when you realise you are the reason behind your own dad not being happy.
"I know you did not know, but now you do, so can you just try to be happy for dad and try not to mess this up for him like the other two, Nikki is really great, you do not have to particularly like her as of now but be nice to her for our dad's sake. He has been single for too long and this is his chance. Both his children are old enough to take care of themselves."
I nod and I decide to retire to my room. Wow, who knew Khalil was so insightful, I thought I knew my dad more than anyone and now to realize I am the reason he has been alone all this time IS SHOCKING. If I missed something this huge what else have been I missing which was right under my nose. I guess I really have been blind to everything around me. I want my dad to be happy and I have to apologize to him for acting like a brat all this time. I don't have to like Nikki, she honestly didn't gain any brownie points from trying to take away my tradition with my dad.
Looking around my room, I decide to clean it since i have not been giving it enough attention the past weeks. I remove my bedsheets from the bed so I can go put them in the washer, I enter my dad's room so I check if he has any laundry so I can do his with mine. I also take my brother's laundry basket also to the washroom. I separate them by color and put the white clothes first then I put my black bedsheets in the other washer. when I check my brother's pockets I find a used condom tied. EWWW, now I am regretting trying to be a good little sister.
I open the closet on top of the washers so I can take and put on gloves while checking his pockets. After three long hours I am finally done with cleaning my room and the laundry too. I take my dad's clothes to his room and fold them then put them in his closet and I do the same with my brother's clothes, only I leave his folded clothes on his bed, I don't want to have to bleach my eyes.
Once I am done, I throw myself on my bed and I go online to check if I do not have assignments. Our lecturers in school post our schools assignment online and we are suppose to check the site everyday because some lecturers do not send emails to notify us of the assignments. Just as I thought, I have an assignment. I have to explain in detail the two types of cell divisions and the stages of division. The due date is in two weeks but I decide to it immediately. I mean I have the time so I might as well use it to be productive.
the two types of cell division are meiosis and mitosis.
Mitosis involves the division of body cells while meiosis involves the division of sex cells.
In meiosis, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase occur twice....
After about two hours I complete my assignment and being the goody two shoes I am, I email my assignment to my lecturer.
