Adrian - Brother is back!

Adrian knew how difficult it was to survive even before he began schooling 2 years back. To Adrian, the worst memory was when his brother had returned from Oklahoma. He was waiting for him to tell him about how he met a friend at school and about how he learnt that not only humans but also animals can sense emotions. But his brother's return wasn't as heartwarming as he had anticipated it to be.

In the middle of the night, when the downpour was the worst, a knock resonated in the little hut. To Adrian's surprise it was the first someone had ever come to their door. He woke up quickly to answer the door but all the blood drained from his body and he couldn't even find any words to understand his situation for he didn't know what situation he had ended up in. His brother whom he had cherished as his only parent and only pillar of support was there at the door looking at him. Nonetheless he didn't expect to see his brother end up in such a situation. His brother was on the steps breathing so faintly that Adrian wouldn't have realized if or not he was living.

He couldn't form words at all. He was stirred to consciousness by a freezing gust of wind. And just as his eyes swelled up with tears, he realised the condition his brother was in.

"Brother! What happened? This... how did you end up like this? We - we must go to the hospital right now. . J-just stay put ,ok?", he said as he crouched with his trembling hands reached out to lift his injured brother.

"Adrian, never I-I have never regretted taking ca-care of you. You are my most tre-treasured possession. I am not your brother. I-I didn't know who you were but I f-felt pity on you when I found you on a subway 13 years back." Having said this he coughed up blood.

"Brother don't worry. I know if not for you I would have been dead. And to me you are the best person, so just don't talk ok. The ambulance is almost here." Adrian stuttered.

" Hah! Your family, it's in New York. And I don't have much time left. Don't cry for me and find your family." He said .

"Brother, you cannot leave me..."

" Kris. My name, remember it, Adr ..." He couldn't even complete his sentence before his soul pledged allegiance to the Almighty.

" No you-you cannot leave me like this brother. " And he bawled his eyes out, reminiscing about the moments they had spent together.

" I assure you that I will kill that person who did this to you, I swear." He vowed to revenge, but he knew better in his heart that what laid before him was the bloody path to revenge.

" I won't return to those people that abandoned me. But I thank them because I met you brother." And he continued to sit their still at the door, as his brother's corpse turned cold and his own limbs went numb...
