Everyday

The sun is already down as the twilight hit Alex's face. His doe eyes were staring at the drowning sun in between the high buildings. He was sitting on the railing arround the slopes of the small hill in Mumbai, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A cool breeze swept his long brown hair from his forehead. It's late then. He have to get up now and head home. He stood up with a sigh and shove his school bag lazily on his shoulders. He dragged his legs between the dried leaves towards his home. "Home"? What is this "home"? A place where we head after a long tiring day to get rest. Home is a warm comfort zone for us. But Alex didn't wanted to go home. He wanted to stay as far as possible from his home.

Everyday after-school, Alex would come here into the nature, sit on the railing and feed his tiffin to birds. He would prefer spending time alone than to head home that early.

Alex was a popular guy in his school. Alex had a lean body with 5,7 height and a baby cute face with big doe eyes with full plumpy lips and long brown hair that would cover his forehead. He was good at playing guitar, studies, art, sports but most importantly at dancing. He was an inborn dancer. And so most of the students were whipped over Alex. But Alex was not at all interested in all this things. He is very introvert and rude. He never talk with any of his classmates and sat at a corner window seat alone staring outside the window. So as a result he didn't have any friends.

Alex pushed the rusted iron gate open in front of his house. He place his ears at the door before getting in. It was silent. He exhaled a relief and entered. As soon as he closed the door, he saw his mother walk up to him with a warm smile, wipping his hands in her apron, from the kitchen. "Alex u home baby. Are u hungry? Want something to eat honey?" Alex took out his empty Tiffin box and handed it to his mom and said with a low tired tone, "Thnx mom. But I'm good. I'll go and complete my homework." But why would Mrs McAdams listen to Alex. She said while hurrying into the kitchen, "No honey. You freshen up. I'll serve some food in ur room. You are becoming thin day by day." Alex stood there listening to his mom. He said nothing and hurried into his room.

Alex turned on the shower and stood under it. The cool water run down his body marking every curves. He stood there. Again his father will come home drunk. Again he will fight with his mother. He hated this life. His thoughts were cut when he heard his mother calling his name from outside the room. He hurriedly wiped himself up with towel and wore it around his waist and exited the bathroom. He saw some clean pairs of tshirt and swear pant on the bed. And hot chicken soup and bread on the night stand.

He wore his dresses and sat on his study table opening his physics book of class 11. He started revising the chapters while having his warm soup.. The soup felt good in his empty stomach. He also have to do his maths homework.

It was around 11 when Alex heard a loud sound of door closing. Lines started to appeare on his forehead. He ignored that and went back to his studies. After sometime Alex again heard a crashing sound. He flinched and stood up.. He heard his father's loud voice and his mother's scream. Alex is very scared but he slowly move to the door. He tried to open it but it, it didn't open.. He pulled hard but still he cannot open the door. Alex could here loud screaming sounds of his mother but he could do nothing. Tears started escaping his eyes. As he sat by the door. Again his mother has locked him up. And again his father came home drunk late. And again his parents are fighting. Why can't he have a normal and happy family like others? Why his father has to be a drunker? And why his mother always lock him up? He is tired.

It was past 1 when the screams lessen. But the tears in Alex's eyes were not stopping. He was still crying like a infant child. There is no one whom he can held and talk and cry his heart out. Alex cannot see how his father beats up his mother everyday. But whenever he goes to tell something to his father, both his parents protests and Mr McAdams sometimes beats Alex also. Is there nothing Alex could do?
