lost in translation

chapter I

The story, place and events are fictional and made from my own imagination. The story might not be reaching your expectations but it's all I can think of. English is not my native language and there might be some grammatical mistakes that might be kind of sick for some people. It's one of my the favourite language that I have learnt.

If anyone is coping my idea, they will be punished accordingly. If you see someone doing that then please inform me. I will be grateful! And here I go............

I have been said not sing in front of my father. Not to talk while he's at the phone with someone. Not to wear in dark blue. Not to make mistakes and so on but I have heard that's what children do.
''Did you heard anything that I said?'' My mother raised her voice.
''I did.'' I looked at my finger nails, they were free of nail polish because she asked to remove them. I had to remove them just after applying them just because my father did not like nail polishes. My mother had been lecturing me for doing something he didn't liked. Then what am I allowed to do that makes me happy? There wasn't anything. I did the paintings and singed in the woods because of the fear what he might do to my mother for not keeping me disciplined. During the lecture my sister pop out of nowhere.

''Will you play with me?'' My sister asked me.

''That's what was on my mind the whole day after the little tea party you threw yesterday!'' I smiled down at her and bended down to her level and lifted her. She kissed my cheeks with a giggle.

''You can't. It's dinner time.'' Mother said firmly.
''But....''Alice complaint and I cutted her her out.
''It's okay, we can do it any time.'' I rubbed her back.
''Any time but dinner and breakfast time.'' Alice huffed. We always were to be presented at the dinning room before our father came.

As a cue I heard a click.
''Alec... it's dinner time.'' I shouted. He came running down the stairs as father entered the dining room. His eyes narrowed at Alec.

''Manners.'' He said and that made the poor five years old gulp his saliva. He looked like he was sleeping up in his room. His hair was a mess and glasses tilted that he wasted no time fixing.

''So.... let's have the dinner.'' My mother took all of our attention to her.

''Sure, I am hungry.'' Alice said waving her hands back and forth.

All of us settled on chairs. Mother served the dinner to our plates.

''How was the day?'' Mother asked father as usual.

''Tiring as always.'' He huffed, which he did frequently.

We ate our dinner silently which was soon disturbed by a clang. Our heads turned to look at Alice who looked regretful.

''I  am sorry, I was just trying to cut the meat.'' She apologised quickly.

''Can't I have a decent meal without you two sons of b*tches disturbing me?'' Father shouted, pointing a finger from Alice to Alec.

Alice's eyes were filled with tears that would fall any second and Alec looked sad.

''Umm.... I will take the kids upstairs.'' I took their hands in mine and took them to their room. Alec was the elder twin brother. He clasped his hands together when I let it go to turn the knob. The second we got inside Alice hugged my waist.

I closed the door and took Alec's hand and rubbed Alice's head, which was buried on my waist. I took them and sat on their twin size bed with Alec standing beside me and Alice sat on the other side close to me.

''I didn't mean to make any sounds.'' Alice cried.
''It's fine to make sounds Alice. It was the silence that made it more prominent.'' I said while mentioning Alec to sit beside me. He sat down and leaned to rub her head. He was on verge of crying.
''You can cry too, you know.'' I encouraged him.
''But father said that men and boys shouldn't cry.'' He
whimpered. I felt sad about how the young boy was forced to think.

''You are human before anything. A human can cry when they want.'' I told him softly and  brought his head to my chest. He was rigid and after a movement  he cried wholeheartedly. Who knew for how much time this boy held his tears.

After their eyes went dry, they told me that they didn't got to finish their meal and they were feelling hungry. I went to the kitchen and took the ice-cream as the dessert and took the left out dinner  for the three of us.

We ate the meal and I putted them to sleep with a lullaby that I wished mother would have singed to me before.

I cleaned the dishes and went to the bedroom.

I took a shower and changed into the pajamas and tucked myself.
I started drifting to the sleep when I heard a long cry. I sat up and shook my head thinking it wasn't anything until the cry came again. It was coming from inside of our house. I ran down the stairs and checked every rooms until I reached the kitchen.

And to my horror father was hovering over mother with a knife in his hand and her hair on other. What the hell was he doing?.........
