"So, you mean it's my fault?" my mother yelled at my father.
" Why are you yelling at me? I just wanted to tell you that you've been working a lot outside and I'm left with taking care of the house by myself the whole day! " my father clarified.
" We have three kids, Kento! I can't just sit back. I don't want to overburden you. Is it my fault that my work is a 9-5 job, now?" my mother broke down.
"I don't know anymore. I just think we have had enough of space between us." my father replied as he hold his tears looking towards the television which had the movie 'Family' premiering on it.
"Even I'm tired of having to fight with you everyday. We just don't get each other." my mother stated.
"Yeah, right. I'll just go to bed. It's exhausting! " my father said as he walked towards the bedroom.

This was the last time that I remember of them arguing. The coming week they negotiated to get a divorce. They were referred for counseling but it never worked. The gap between them had enlarged to the extent that it couldn't be undone or mended in any way. Finally the court ruled on my parents divorce. They were divorced now.

Their divorce was a big blow in the life of three of us because we were to choose between our parents. We chose neither. However, we stayed back with our mom and my dad shifted in the apartment next to ours so that we could live closely. Few years later, he moved away and started his own family. My dad always welcomed us but we felt like we should give him a chance to live his own life in his own terms.

Since then our life has changed a lot. My brother decided to live in a dorm. I stayed back with my mother and my sister got married. I have somewhat decided to not get married because I knew how it was to get separated and start all over again. I knew the pain it took for two individuals to make their marriage successful and sometimes it doesn't even have a good ending. I had all soreness on my mind.

The movie 'Family' was premiering again today to mark it's 13th Anniversary and I got  nostalgic looking at how this show has seen our family laugh together and at the same time fall apart.
"What's wrong, stupid? Why are you bawling like a baby? " my brother said as he pinched me on my hands.

"Ouch... It's nothing. I just wanted to cry" I replied as I continued bawling. It was a weird day. I couldn't get it if it was my mood swing due to my periods or the fact that I don't get to see my parents together anymore that made me cry?
Nevertheless I had to leave for my room soon thereafter because my headache due to excessive crying and stomache were punching my body at the same time and my delicate body deserved a rest.
