The relationship between my mom and dad was really weird, I always felt something is not right between them. As I was still a kid, I never tried to ask my mom about it. As I grew older, the distance between them started to widen. I was now 19 years old, ready to join my favorite university. Due to COVID-19, the classes were shifted to the online mode. Everyday I used to hear quarrels between my parents and now it was getting over my nerves. One evening, seeing my mom alone, watching TV, I went to her and sat on the couch.
“Mom?”, I said.
Mom smiled and looked at me. This innocent smile always melted me. She said “yes, do you want to watch something else?”
“No mom, I wanted to ask you something else. Do you mind if I?”
“Go on, I am listening.” mom said with all her attention to me.
” I always felt there is something wrong between you and dad, what is it?”
“Do you want to know the truth?”, Mom said with a nervous yet firm tone.
