DESTINY

THREE

Fourth stood there frozen. He couldn't move. His breath was fast. He was trembling hard. Gemini hugged him and buried his head on Fourth's stomach. Fourth still held him tight.

"F-fourth..." Fourth heard somebody called him but he just can't move from his place. But Gemini turned his head and looked at the direction of the Voice.

"Paaaaaa....." Gemini ran towards Fourth's mother that curled up on the floor meters away.

Fourth felt Gemini releasing himself and ran, he turned his head and saw his mother.

"Maaeeeeee.." Fourth fell beside her and hold her hands.

"Maeee.. Are you alright?? Por.. Por.. Is.. Por... Is gone... Por.. Is gone Mae..." Fourth cried hard and that made Gemini crying too.

"F-fourth.. Son.. L-look at m-me.. You a-are the b-best thing t-that happen in o-our l-life..You a-are s-trong.. Y-you have to b-be strong... We l-love you...na..." His mother said. She covered her belly with her hands and Fourth saw that she was bleeding too.

"Take c-care of G-gemini... L-love him.." And his mother just fell unconscious.

"Nooo Maeeee..... Maeee... Nooo.... " Fourth howling in sadness.

And then he heard the sirene of police and ambulance. And suddenly he heard someone screaming his name and Gemini.

"Gemm... Fourth..." Ning and Dan rushed towards them. Ning hugged Fourth and Dan lift Gemini and hugged him in his embrace. Gemini and Fourth were still crying. Ning and Dan had to forcefully pull him up and bring them out while the paramedics do their job.

They all went to Dan's car. They tailed the ambulance to the hospital. Fourth's mother heart was still beating so she was taken to the hospital as soon as the ambulance came. While Fourth's father was dead on the spot and brought to the hospital to clean the wound and taken out the bullets.

When they arrived at the hospital, they all waited outside the ER to know Fourth's mother condition. And half an hour later, the doctor came out and told them that Fourth's mom has gone too. She died by too much bleed.

Fourth howling and fell to the floor. Dan hugged him. They all cried. Ning and Dan was feeling so guilty. Fourth loss his parents in a day.

Seeing his Dad hugged his P', Gemini released himself from his mom and hugged Fourth too together with his Dad.

He didn't say a word. He just hugged him and put his head on Fourth's shoulder. Dan rubbed his back gently. Ning cried in silent looking at both her sons.

After a while, the nurse said that Fourth's parents were ready to be brought to funeral house.

Ning took Gemini and Fourth back home while Dan took care of Fourth's parents.

The next day, Gemini's parents held the funeral ceremony for Fourth's parents. They swore to them that they will take care of Fourth like their own son.

Fourth just stared blankly seeing his parents being buried. Gemini always glanced at him. He held Fourth's hand and leaned his head on Fourth's arm.

Fourth looked at him and he smiled faintly  and he held the tiny hands back. The hands that he hope he could held for the rest of his life.

After the funeral, they all came home. Dan and Ning asked Fourth to sit with them in the living room.

"Fourth.. I'm really sorry for what happened.. But maybe sorry aslo not enough right now.. Your parents were the bravest person that I ever knew. I adored them so much.. You all are our family.. We'll take care of you Fourth.. You don't have to worry.." Dan said while holding Fourth's hand.
