Secrets-2

　　I knock on dad’s office door. I can hear from the front door that Mom and Dad are in intense conversation.

　　“Dad, open up, please?” I knock again, and that’s when they both go silent.

　　The door unlocks. Dad’s face comes to view who looks flushed. “What do you want, Bash? We are—”

　　“Busy keeping secrets from us? Or am I the only one left unaware?” I ask, and I know it sounds harsh, but for fuck sake, I’m already an adult, and I can handle things pretty well.

　　“What secrets are you talking about?” Dad asks sternly.

　　I get inside his office. The smell of alcohol is thick in the air.

　　“Bash, what do you want?” Dad asks again. Mom stays silent, but I can see the tension in the air is so thick.

　　“What are you two fighting about?” I take a seat in front of Mom.

　　“Be respectful, Sebastian. It’s not right to stick your nose to something that isn’t your business.” Dad sounds angrier, which he is not like this unless he’s under stress.
