iSLMAIA ENGLISH sCHOOL

he morning was cold and my


mom woke me up for school.
She had me put on some warm
clothes and took me downstairs. The
breakfast was ready and hot on the
table and after finishing it I left for
school on foot just as usual. After
school, when I was on my way home I
heard angry shouts from my house.
Then I realized that it was mom
and dad and they were having an
argument. It was very hard to
understand what they were talking
about as they were just yelling at each
other without giving each other a
chance. All I heard in the whole
argument
was
what
my
mom
said,The difference between once
and never is a lot!. I rang the bell and
my mom opened the door. The tears
1

of pain and sorrow were rolling down


her red cheeks. She wiped them off
quickly when she saw it was me and
took me upstairs. All the while,
ignoring all my questions about what
had happened, she just simply replied
that to play video games and that she
was fine.
My mother usually comforted me at
night but that night she did not and
did not even come to say goodnight.
So I crept downstairs to see what was
up. I saw her sitting on the couch just
staring outside the window near the
fireplace. There were also some
papers on the coffe table with her
signature on them. But I just thought
of them as business papers and left
mom alone.
The following day when I was
coming back, I did not want to believe
2

my eyes. I saw an ambulance just


outside my house and a huge crowd. I
ran as fast as I could leaving my bag
on the ground with tears in my eyes. I
bumped into the crowd and saw that
the medics were taking the lifeless
body of my mother away.
A young looking medic came to me
personally and talked me through. He
told me that she had faced an
heartattack and passed away. But I did
not want to hear a single word due to
my sorrow. Then I remebered the
papers from last night and went back
in to see that they were still on the
table near the fire place. After
loocking at them I realized that they
were divorce papers and my mom and
dad had signed it.
