Working day and night for years ,I still don't understand the joy of life . After my family found out I am gay we were no close again.
Alexander 27 years old man. After university I decided to put my self into work to make my parents proud.I come a very conservative family and was thought from a young age that family matters most in a person life and so even though I no my parents didn't care much for me I always convince myself that at least they raised me and thus have to repay them one. Phone ringing
It's mom . Hello Alex
Your father and I are celebrating my birthday and we are having a dinner at home so come .
A low voice I mumble ok ,mom kept talking for a while and hung up . It is Saturday and sleeping is the only thing I could do.I got washed my face and made my self breakfast while thinking of the gift I am going to give my mom.
Sunday mom's birthday
I dressed appropriately cos I know how mom is with her sarcasm. I walked through the door and saw a few familiar faces greeted them headed to my mom and dad .
Happy birthday mom.
I said while smiling my most sincere smile
I hug dad and chatted for a while . Mom called that dinner is ready and we all sat around the dining table. People were making small talks while I sat quietly shifting food on plates.
How's life Alex mom asked:
Great I answered shortly
Mom asked again any girlfriends yet. I froze from the question knowing clearly where this is heading . I raised my head look straight into my mom's eyes and for the last said mom I like boys .
Yeah I know don't you think it's time for you to start getting ready for marriage you know have a family of your own I want grandkids and being gay doesn't seem to bring kids . I will adopt a kid I nonchalantly
Mom face turn red
Why in the hell will you adopt a kid when you can make one yourself. Get your self a wife or you are no son of mine. Fine I said angrily as I push my chair back I am no son of then . I stormed out into the street as I think about what happened is it really my fault for liking boys i mean I can just suck it up do whatever my parents wanted me to do but I been blindly doing everything I was told to do. As I I kept thinking I felt guilty for how I shouted at mom . I turned around to go back and apologise only for me to to get hit by truck kin.
