It Was Never You

Flashback

***strong adult language has been used***

Subho -Mom? You did not tell me you were coming today.

Mom - is your father home?

Subho -Yes. He is upstairs.

His mother almost pushing him aside went upstairs.

Subho believed that his mother loved him.But sometimes he could not bear to be unnoticed.

Chandra- I want some money (reaching dad's room)

Lalit- Not a good time. What are you doing here? Subh is home? Are you crazy?

Chandra - Yes, I am. Grive me 10 thousand now.

Lalit - for what reason? Drugs? Debts?

You have got enough in the time of settlement. I am not giving you any.

Chandra - What do you mean? Have done all this just for that 10 lakhs? I gave birth to your son.

Lalit - What kind of mother you are ? Putting a price tag on your son?

He was hearing everything from downstairs.He knew why years ago they got separated.

He was traumatized and depressed for almost 2 years and was taking therapy. To be very honest it's hard for a child to see his parents fighting, shouting at each other, hurting each other, breaking things. And it probably never gets healed. Years after years it just gets bitter.

He does not know how many times, he has tried to make things alright but at that time understood it was better that way. It was better now that he could breath , he could see his father smiling and the house feels a bit empty but peacefully and homely.❣️

Then he saw chandra leaving.

subho- Mom you want coffee ?

Chandra- Give your coffee to your

father.I am no mother of you. ( Clenching her teeth)

He knew and believed that whatever it was, it was between them,not him,So he never minded and never took it to heart.

Even if it hurts like hell.

Lalit - Subh? Sorry you had to listen to all that !Let me really taste it..

Subho -No papa it's ok. You don't have to,

Lalit - But I want to ,child, come let's go....

✨✨✨

the night two people could not sleep. Subho could not sleep because of those dreams or nightmares of his parents.

Every time he was trying to sleep he was having those flashbacks.It was all coming back to him. Maybe it got worse because of his mother's visit.It was all over 2011 again.

-----------------Flashback----------------

Chandra - I do not love you anymore.I need money.

Lalit - You are sick, chandra.

Chandra -Yes! I am. I have got nothing. Neither you could make me happy physically nor mentally!( Clutching his collar). So let me have the money .

Lalit - I have given you enough !(Trying to get free )

Chandra -Ok ! Then I want a f*****g divorce.

Lalit - Sh!!!(Pressing his finger to his lips )

Subh is there !

Chandra -I don't give a f**k!

Lalit - Then you will get your divorce,

you witch!!!

-------------------------------------------

and each time he got up from bed and walked a bit. His Eyes were restless and teary.

The other person is Nabo. He could not stop recalling that smile and that bunch of black curly hair.

Maybe she was not so special, maybe she was just ordinary like him.

But sometimes the most ordinary things are the most beautiful things. They are hard to get.

✨✨

Nabo went to the roof. It is kind of a place where at least he finds himself. He does not feel like he is getting lost among others .He feels the wind embraces him and consoles him in every situation

?Truly who ever does not find themselves in an empty, windy roof, they are just a fool. Are you one of them?

What happens after that ?Do they sleep or?
