2 Days Of Life
Two days with mom, two days with dad, two days in a dorm and last remaining day i wait for that Sunday every week, Sunday is the only day when i can be with both of them together just like before we were, they got separated and got married my dad married some woman and my mom married some man, they both later got involved in a case for my custody and the day exact 10 months ago from now the jury passed the judgment and asked me with whom you want to stay, that jury was smart or not but he got me in trouble how could i have chosen only one out of my two God, so i decided my own punishment for my entire life, out of a week i have given two-two days to each one of them and remaining three days i stay in my dorm and on the Sunday i specifically asked jury if he can make them come together on Sunday to meet me in my dorm, where i would be spending my three days studying and living in a dormitory a boarding school where students like me live and study on the govt sponsorship. 

The day after the jury made the judgment and forced my parents to sign the agreement to meet me on Sundays together, both of them got fired up on me and said that we won’t be coming to meet you, you should have chosen me or me but how could I have, having parents around still living like an orphan, isn’t that enough? now they asking me to choose one to stay with, but later they both agreed and first two days of a week Monday and on Tuesday my mom came to dorm to pick me up and he was Nathan the man he married after getting divorced from my father so now he is my step father, Nathan is muscle man, good built body and a exclusive sedan and later my mom introduced me to him formally unlike a father and son, He introduced himself in a good way and he bought me an ice cream my favorite flavor the rum resins must have my mom told him about it, but overall they both are happy, the moment i arrived at the new house of my mom and Nathan I got to say that’s not an house for a Manager of Pharmaceutical company,  its a villa stretched to almost 400 sq meters, it was like i have got invited in a luxury hotel or something, they had a well decorated room for me, and i spent my first two days pretty well there and then on Wednesday early morning my mom dropped me back to dorms.

The first day in dorms was nothing special. It was same as it was back in my regular school, got eight classes for different subjects and sports, etc., etc. pretty teachers and not so crowd only we 18 students in a class and mostly like about 300 students of the total in this dorm school, after the school timing, I got back to my room and waited for my dad he must be arriving in any minute.

I was just waiting for my dad impatiently and then suddenly a guy came from behind and He said “Hey you must be the new kid, I am Gary your roommate we both would be living together so better know each other whats your name? ”a tall guy two or three year elder than me, my new room mate then I just introduced my self-halfhearted “Hello I am Christopher Nice to meet you and yes we are roommates so we should know each other but I would be here for three days at max in the dorms” Why? He asked and Said further do they allow? Yes, you can say I am an exception and we both giggled and the conversation of two broken souls carried on, and I got my first friend in dorms Gary and I took a pledge together to stay united forever like brothers then I just heard my father calling for me on the dorms gate, I just ran towards him and Gary came to see me off, I introduced him to my father and then my father and me driven away to his house.

I asked my father, so where was my new stepmother? He got uncomfortable and said “she is busy in her office works so you would meet her probably on dinner time”, So you are happy with her dad, actually I am more comfortable with dad just because I am a man so I can easily accept my dad with another woman, My father nodded and said “save your questions for later kiddo and asked me what you want for dinner tonight? ” and driven straight to the Walmart 36, its a super store nearest to our home, Nothing specifically everything works for me now, after you both got separated i quit choosing what to eat, what to wear, before i could complete my sentence my father stopped the car and hugged me and said it was hard for me too but listen son I tried everything but your mother she was just to demanding and then we had no other options so we decided and ended our marriage”, so what dad you guys never asked me what i need  but its okay if you both were not happy together then living together just for me with compromises could have leaded us to worst situations, i have accepted it already and now i am an orphan nothing more nothing less and later or sooner you both will have your children with your new spouses and its okay if you guys then quit coming to see me in dorms, we both got silent and my father went out to buy groceries and other stuffs and i waited in his car.

while waiting for my dad i was thinking about the Sunday yet to come and then on that day i will ask my parents to quit coming to me because i don’t want them to face each other and regret what they have done, now they both married now and its been 10 months now so it must have been hard for them to pretend good in front of me on every Sunday, they just fight whenever they come closer like magnets whenever you put two magnets facing each other they just repel and can’t be put together and i feel guilty that i have forced them to go through all this, and i should convince both of them to quit seeing me on each Sunday or i will just pretend that i hate them both and i don’t want to be with any of them, planning everything i forgot that i am still in my father’s car and fallen sleep then  he came and woke me up, hey Christopher you tired huh ? No dad just not feeling well and I have decided and asked him dad “if you could please drop me back in dorms?”, He got surprised and asked “why? What happened son ? You don’t want to come today?”No dad just not feeling well just please drop me back, after an argument I got angry and got out of his car and slammed the door and walked to my dorm and cried, Gary tried few times to know whats going on and why I am crying then he gave up and slept on his bed on that night, I got to know that few things are not in our control, my father came the next day and I denied to meet him, My father and my mother both tried but I denied both of them and its Sunday today.

I have been waiting for this day and preparing for this day to put an act and make them not come again to meet me, and here they come my mom from the right door and my father from the left door and i am waiting in the meeting hall, they both approached me together and apologized like they have realized what have they done to me, they got separated and now living a happy life leaving their son all by himself behind, stop I yelled and moved few steps back and made my self clear that i do not want you both to come here anymore, i don’t feel good that you both forcing yourselves just because of a childish agreement forced on you both just because of me, they both stood up and asked me to wait and they started discussing more like arguing, seeing them both still fighting,

I just said few words you both have proved that there are few humans who never appreciate or accept good things.

we were a happy family but you guys gave up and ended up now none of us is happy anymore.
