"I am not here to tell you what you are doing is wrong or right. I just want to tell you that you be aware of what you are doing." Dad said to Anuj. He had been hiding in his bathroom for long and dad knew why! Wonder who else knows!
Anuj often hid himself in the bathroom. That was the only place in the world where he was alone. All other places in the house seemed to have spies following in his track. He hated to admit it, but there he was day after day, sitting in the bathroom. Sometimes flipping through erotic magazines, sometimes masturbating and sometimes just reading a good novel, once he even did his math homework in the bathroom.
Dad may have been firm but he also sounded understanding! Next time when he went to the bathroom he checked the whole place for hidden cameras. You cannot trust the parent of teens, they can be really unreliable, Anuj thought.
No... no cameras. Satisfied that he was alone in the bathroom he relaxed. His parents had changed of late. They did not treat him the way they did before! Anuj missed their love and blind trust, which was always bestowed on him. What had changed now? Why were they acting weird of late? What did they fear?
He was no more a kid and he had hoped that this should go in his favour and make his parents to trust him even more. But for the first time in his life, he felt like a stranger in his own home. He either would be away at a friend's place, where there were other sets of eyes keeping watch on them... his friend and him. He felt suffocated... in school his teachers had changed their attitude towards the class. Suspicion seemed to be written on their faces. If students kept a promise, the teachers acted as if they got lucky for once and if the students acted irresponsibly, the adults made it known that this is just what was expected and that they were right in doubting them.
Life in short sucked. Adults can be really complicated. Specially parents. You never know when they will change tracks. It seemed to Anuj that his parents had shifted allegiance. And now they were in conspiracy against him and his contemporaries, with all other parents and teachers.
Anuj was back in the bathroom. He just sat on the commode, not wanting to come out. Life as he knew it was falling apart. But the shining tiles of the bathroom somehow made him feel a little comfortable.
And then there was a knock at the door, not the main door, the bathroom door. Anuj gathered himself up and decided to come out. He had been there for way too long. Dad was right outside, something just gripped him and he hugged his dad and said, I love you dad!
And it seemed that day Anuj became a real adult. Home began to look like home again, was this all that was needed? Anuj wondered!
