Our Two Worlds Apart

Ethan's First Normal And Happy Moments With His Family

Thompson family gathered around in dinning room for dinner. it was 8'o clock. servents served the dinner on the dining table. there was many verities in food.

Ethan arrived at the dining room for room. he took his seat. there was an uncomfortable silence. everyone started to eat their food in silence. no one dared to speak a word as Ethan's father was really strict. he doesn't like anyone to talk while eating.

After some time Ethan's mother cleared her throat to break the silence.

"How was your day at office, honey? i heard that you got a big deal from Japan's multinational company?" Mrs Thompson asked.

Mr Thompson look at her and nod his head, "yeah, i got. it's a really big apportunity for our company to grow more and reach in other countries as well." he said and took a bite from his food.

Ethan was silent. he wanted to talk to his parents and tell them about Elena but he was nervous and slightly scared because of his father's strict nature.

Mr Thompson saw that Ethan was looking at him, like he wanted to tell him something.

"Is there something you want to say, Ethan?" he asked.

Ethan slightly cough when his father asked him if wants to say something. he cleared his throat before looking at his father.

"Actually, dad, i wanted to ask you that if you don't mind then can i take extra classes in school? of course, for my upcoming tests and so i can score better in exam." he said making his father to look at him surprise as Ethan dies like to take extra classes. he even refused to take tution.

"Extra classes? but, i thought you hate taking extra classes and loves to study by yourself."

"I do like to study by myself, dad, but Elena is really good in studies and she wants to help me improve in my studies." Ethan said.

His parents raise their eyebrows as Ethan talking about taking help from a girl.

"Who's this Elena, dear?" his mother asked. her voice was soft but she was a bit curious.

"Oh, she's my friend. i met her today in my school." Ethan said and smiled while thinking about her. her face was flashing in Ethan's eyes. he couldn't get his mind off from her.

Mrs Thompson notice the way Ethan was smiling while talking about Elena. She smile at him."

"That's really good, dear, I'm happy that you made a friend." his father also nod his head. a small smile was playing on Mr Thompson's lips.

"Why don't you invite your friend to our house for dinner? we love to meet her." his father said making Ethan's eyes wide in excitement.

"Sure, dad, I'll invite her when I'll meet her tomorrow. I'm sure that she'll be happy as well."

And just like that they had dinner with small chats. It was a first time for them to have conversation like this because they are always busy with their own jobs.

Ethan was really happy that finally he's able to talk to his parents without any hesitation and he's even more happy that they asked him to invite Elena at home.

Once he lay down on his, he stare up at the ceiling and thought about Elena. He decided that he'll give this news to her when he meet her in school.

He was too excited that sleep wasn't taking over him. he stayed up till late and by the midnight sleep finally took over him and he drift off to in peaceful sleep.

The next day when sunlight softly fell on his face through the window, he slowly stirr awake. he sit straight up on the bed and streched before rubbing his eyes.

After that he went to the bathroom and did his morning routine. once he done he came out from the bathroom and got ready for school, grabbed his bag and went downstairs in the dining room for breakfast.

When he arrived in the dining room he saw that his parents were already there. his father was reading a newspaper while his mother was cooking breakfast. even though they have many servents and maids in their house but still Mrs Thompson loves to make breakfast by herself in the morning.

She thinks that a day's start with her handmade food will light up their day. she always puts her all love in breakfast because that's the only thing which she can do for her husband and son as she's always busy in her social worker's job.

Ethan smelled the soft aroma of his mother's handmade food with a soft sigh. that's the first thing he loves in the morning, his mother's handmade food which has her love in it.

"it smells good like always, mom." he said that took his seat. his father hummed in approval while reading his newspaper.

"yeah, i made your favourite blueberry pancakes with hot chocolate." she said and served the breakfast.

Ethan immediately dig in eagerly. his father put the newspaper down on the dining table and began to eat his food as well.

They had breakfast together. Ethan ate many pancakes until his full because it's his favourite and he can never resist it.

He was relieved today his parents were in good mood because of last night and didn't gave him lecture about securing his future by studying.

After breakfast, he grab his bag and kiss on his mother's cheek before walking out of the house where his driver was waiting for him by his father's car.

"yesterday, you were looking happy that finally you made a friend and now you're looking even more happy that you had a normal morning with your family, young master. i think, god has heard your wishes." his driver said while smiling at him and open the car door for Ethan.

Ethan got inside the car and buckle up the seatbelt, "yes, and i wish that God hear my all wishes like this and keep his blessings on me. i finally found my happiness back."
