"Mom!" I shouted, as I entered my house, kicking the door closed behind me, I go to the kitchen and sit on the countertop, finding chocolate I silently nibble on it. When my chocolate was finished, I frowned and continued "I'm Home!" I shouted again.

When I heard some shuffling coming from my mother's room, I jumped off the countertop and headed to her room. I knocked on the door and heard, a faint "Enter" so I went inside.

I was shocked to see mom putting a bunch of clothes and basic amenities in a big red suitcase. "Where are you going?" I asked her, as I walked closer to her and sat on the bed. "

Honey, I have got some business to attend to over the weekend, my workplace is too far from our house so I decided to stay over at a hotel for the weekend. Once I'm done with work ill come back," she said assuringly. "

Mom, what about the art contest I was taking part in, it's this weekend, and you promised me you would come!" I said, sadness washing over my face.

She came closer to me and kissed my forehead. " Darling I'm sorry I won't be able to make it this time!" she said with guilty eyes. " why don't you ask your dad to come?" she said managing a small smile, and head back to her suitcase to add the last of her stuff in it.

" I'll be back by Monday Morning! Promise me you won't burn the house on fire while I'm away!" she said, apparently trying to lighten the mood. I sighed in defeat and managed a small smile. " I don't give promises!" I said with a grin.

Mom left an hour ago. I was home alone so I decided to catch up on some TV serials. I quickly popped a bag of popcorn into the oven and filled a glass with my favourite drink. Carefully holding the two, I headed towards the L-couch in the middle of our living room.

Making myself comfortable I placed the popcorn and my drink on the black coffee table and found a comfortable sitting position.

I was forgetting something, I told myself trying to remember what I was forgetting. "Ah! The remote!" I groaned as I left my comfortable sitting position to search for the remote.
Once I had finally gotten the remote, had my popcorn and drink and readjusted myself in a comfortable sitting position, I opened the tv and found a serial that caught my eye.
Binge-watching Tv serials while munching on popcorn was a heavenly feeling.
As I was about to start the third episode, I heard the door open. Dad must be home. I got up, brushed off the fallen popcorn from my lap and headed towards the door. I was just around the corner and was about to ask dad about the contest.
"Dad! I have a contest-" I said excitedly but the next sight washed all the excitement away in mere seconds. I felt rage building up inside me.
Dad was there. Standing in our doorway, with a lady whom he was holding by the waist. I had never seen her before and she was much younger than mom. She was dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt with a picture of Los Angeles. Her hair was in a neat ponytail and her face was fully caked with makeup.
"What. Is. Going On. Here!" I practically screamed with anger. I felt disgusted at my dad for his selfishness. He must have been waiting for the right opportunity to get mom out of the way. He must have been tired of her imperfections, her honesty, her loyalty, her care and everything she had ever done for him. I felt disgusted even calling him 'My Dad'.
I was going through a rollercoaster of emotions and I couldn't stop my tears from spilling like a waterfall. I probably looked like a mess but I didn't care. All I knew was that this man could not enter this house. He must leave. I can't stand his presence for even a minute more.
"GET OUT!" I screamed, making up my mind. "NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!" I said in my broken voice.
"Honey- Let me explain-" he struggled at trying to talk to me.
"No Need.!" I said. Wiping my tears with the back of my hand,
I stepped closer to him and slapped him hard.156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9F8XhmKrD
"SHE TRUSTED YOU!" I screamed at this face, hating everything about him right now.
With the most broken voice, and draining out the last of my energy,
"I trusted you!"
