As I strolled along the lakeside on the stony path, cinematic life of myself flashes in my mind. I stopped in the middle of my track as the sky starts to rumble and tears from above starts to fall. I’ve forgotten how much I love the feeling of water falling on me, when was the last time that I felt the Earth and the nature, honestly I don’t remember.
“No mom, you don’t understand! This isn’t the life I asked for, this isn’t what I want. I have never wanted to lead the life that you and dad lives because i absolutely detest it. I love you mom but I can’t take it anymore” as it flashes in my head, the last thing i remembered.
I brushed the dripping brown hair out of my way to have a clearer view of what around me. A dog was barking in the distance and familiar crowds of people were running from the rain as a sense of Déjà vu filled me.
“Hey buddy, looked what mommy got for you.” shouted my dad in the distance. “Come on chap, open it. Well yes its a brand new kite!” my dad grinned . As i unrolled the string preparing to try out my new kite, the sky starts to roar and the neighborhood strays howl to welcome the rain. “You boys better start packing, its gonna be big” my mom said as she ran towards us.
I picked up my pace as the playground appears in my view. I sat on the swing letting the rain washed away my sorrows as I buried my face in my hands.
“Daddy is leaving us, there is nothing I can do to stop him” my mom shrieked as I vent my anger on her. “It’s your fault that he is leaving, it’s your fault that he doesn’t want me anymore. Mom! I hate this family!” I cried bitterly and that was the last time my tears ever fell.
10 years had gone by and I started my own family. But Heaven likes making a fool of me and Histories like repeating itself. My wife leaving me, my kids hate me and my mom feels the pain for me.
“Hey honey are you alright?” a concerned mom came in. “I’m fine mom, I just need to clear my head” as I let out a deep sigh. “You know Daddy and I always wanted the best for you and when you told us you were getting a divorced we were worried sick. If you ever need someone to listen to we are here. We been through this and we know how hard it must be on you. Her leaving you is a mistake, she doesn’t know how to appreciate you but in the future you will find someone you love more and you can start another family.” She let out a tears and stroked my hair as she speak. I turned and looked at her with grief. “No mom, you don’t understand! This isn’t the life I asked for, this isn’t what I want. I have never wanted to lead the life that you and dad lives because i absolutely detest it. I love you mom but I can’t take it anymore” I shouted as I ran out of the door.
