I'm not ready.
I always preferred to be in control.
I calculate things and I plan things even if the results are bad , at least I expected that it's going to happen.
But something out of the blue to knock me off the ground , is what makes me uncomfortable and sometimes vulnerable.
I blink a couple of times and laugh a nervous laugh."I'm sorry you must be mistaken , I don't have a brother "
"No no please wait , your father is Collin.. his nickname back in Italy was "colli" right?" He says.
And he was right , he even pronounced the nickname in the right way, nobody knew the right pronunciation except the ones who were close to dad."Who are you?" I say my voice breaking at the end.
"I'm Marco ,Can I please come in, and I'll explain everything ?" He asks speaking in an understanding tone.
I guided him in and he had a suitcase with him which I didn't notice, we sat in the living room .
I closed the Tv and sat across him ."Do you want something to drink?" I ask.
"No thank you " he says.
"Nice place , I like the decor " he smiles.
"Thank you"
"Did you come here , right after you landed at the airport?" I say eying his luggage.
"Yeah I did " he says excitedly.
I don't say anything and wait for him for his explanation as he promised."O okay" he says and cleared his voice.
"My mamma lele , she recently passed away and Uhm a couple of days ago I was living my life knowing that my father was dead before I was even born , but all that changed." He says smiling.
I waited for him to continue , without any expression visible on my face."Uhm anyway so I was moving to a small apartment, so I could rent mamma's house, and while I was packing I came across An old photo album that was in her closet , I found a photo where me and colli were on the beach in 1994 and that's 2 years after I was born. " he says.
"So I started to ask like a mad person about him , but gradually I started to give up , so I stopped looking for him but I placed the photo on the wall behind me when I work , so if anyone recognizes him , they can tell me."
"Until I accidentally stumbled across your nephew Leonardo during my shift at the casinó"
"Leonardo Ricci ?" I ask in confusion.
"Cí that's him ".
Me and Leonardo were good friends back in my childhood days. I even had a crush on him but he never knew, he used to visit in the holidays but ever since dad's funeral he never showed up , well technically all of the family ."And what did he tell you?" I ask.
"He wasn't surprised , he told me that Collin was married to my mom for 3 years and just one day mom took me and disappeared , no one knew why ,she left without even telling collin ,but he told me that he passed away..and then about you. " he says.
"Uhm can I go to the bathroom?" He asks taking off his jacket.
I blink and focus on what he was saying , and guided him to the bathroom then sat down trying to gather all the new information he said.
I never doubted dad even when unexpectedly a guy came out of the blue saying that he was my brother , because even if I didn't know that dad and mom were married in 1996, I still remember how he smiles instantly when he sees mom smiling, he loved her soo much.
