"Maybe we should take some time... then settle it.. instead of deciding with hot head??" I recommended.
" I was trying hard to ignore about his affair you know... " She sob..
" Hmmm..." I didn't know what to say....
"I should have married another man... your dad is such a loser... sob,sob" She continued.
" By the way, where were you last night ?? do not bring anymore shame to the family... your dad has already brought enough... " She said.
" I was busy with project. " I lied.
When she is drunk nothing could change her mind. And i didn't want to add any more news..
After our somehow sad dinner where mom drank more alcohol, I had to tuck her in the bed. She was too drunk both with alcohol and sorrow that she didn't even touch her dinner anyway .
I took a blanket and went to sleep in the small living cum study room of mine.. I flip open my phone to look at the image... Two smiling girls... Sigh!!
*Buzz, buzz*
It was a call from Michelle..
" Hey! " I said
" Why are you whispering? " Michelle asked.
" Mom not taking well,and she is sleeping now.. sigh! my parents might end with divorce... " I said sadly.
I had already texted the gist of the happening to her before, so that she wouldn't call up near my emotional mom.
" Hmm.... its still fresh, maybe when your mom sober up, she may be more sensible and be willing to talk with your dad...eh, I am sorry to hear.. " Michelle sounded sad as well.
" I don't know... maybe I should hear from dad as well... for now he didn't say anything to me... " I said.
" You know, sometimes people just drift apart... some they reason out, and they get even more closer than before... . hopefully your parents will be the later one... give them time...dont think too much.. just let it flow, don't force anything on yourself.. "
" Mmmmm..... " I listen quietly to her.
" Hey, Michelle? Can I ask you something,?? " I enquire.
" Sure anything my dear.. " She was so patience,I felt warm.
" What if, our relationship also falls out?... with my parents already weak in keeping relationships... " I stopped half way....
" Ash, Ash,... Ssssshhh.... you are overthinking things again... nothing of that will happen... you are you... and they are they... completely different!! " She said with confidence...
" I dunno Michelle.... I... " I hesitated..
" Come on, I won't let you off easily... because I love you... " Michelle was serious...
" I eh... eh... " I was so happy on hearing the addictive three words... that tears started to stream down..
" Hey, hey dont start crying now..you know what?? I would have hit you with a pillow if you were here...." She said to lighten things up..
" hehe.... yes, yes... I know I am your sand bag.. hehe" I giggled.
We then wished our usual goodnight... but this time Michelle sent her kisses as well... I felt so secure that I had a sound sleep.
