Lost n Found

Chapter 10 : Regret

I actually had a plan for the first time

That my little brother didn't copy for the first time .

I knew what to do this time in my life

And i also found a girl , she is beautiful and sweet

I found my happiness in her

A person who doesn't shows tantrums or sream and doesn't copy my dreams

A few years later ......................................

I am finally married to the love of my life.

And i have a beautiful baby boy but

My wife wants me to have another child

But i didn't want that

I didn't want the same thing to happen just like me and my little brother.

I want him to finally have the freedom to do what he wants

And to do what he likes

My son doesn't have to take care of another adam

Or any younger siblings

Just then a phone call rang !

And I picked it up

It was a woman , from the hospital

She asked me a question

Are you Mr.Thomas ?

And i said yes

The next thing she told me , made me had a breakdown.

" Mr . Adam died due to a tumor in his brain "

"our deepest condolences for your brother's death "

And i felt warm tears running through my cheeks

And i was thinking to myself

Why am i crying?

He wasn't there in my life

Why am i feeling this way ?

Just then my wife hugged me from behind and asked whats wrong

I explained everything to her

And she just shooked her head

It seems all this time my brother had sent me letters

That he wrote , but

He wrote those letters to my previous house address

After i moved out of that place

Few months later the house owner called and told me that i was getting letters which is sent to the house i moved from .

The house owner finally sent me those letters .

And i read them one by one

The letters wrote :

All the things he have done before he died .

It seems he wrote his first love
His first job offer

About his first graduation

And a letter that he broke up from his girlfriend.

But there was one letter
That i read and filled me with regrets

The letter said :

Dear Thomas , i am sorry for all the tantrums i have done

All of the things that i blamed you for

I didn't mean to hurt you in any kind of way

I wish i can be like you

I wish i can be you, but I can't

This may be the last letter i am writing to you

I may not see you but at least i know you are reading this letter

I hope that you can forgive me

My last wish was to see you before i die but i know that's impossible

I was hoping that you would write back to me but you reading this letter
Means the world to me

As a little brother to you i failed

I am sorry that i couldn't be there for your success in life

Even when i suffered in pain i thought about you taking care of me by my side when i was little

That helped alot , thanks to the memories of you being there by my side .

You were my hero and my second dad

I am sorry my big brother for everything.

From : adam

I couldn't help but to cry and let out my tears

My tears left a stained mixed with his pen ink which was wrote in the letter
By adam

The moment my tears fell on his letter it became a mixture of water and ink
That ruined his handwriting

Just then my son opened my room door and asked me why was i crying

I asked him to sit down on my lap

And as he sat down i told him

"Adrian if u happened to have a younger siblings, doesn't matter if its a sister or a brother you should love them no matter happens and don't ever walk away from their lives because they only have us , no matter what or how they fight and annoy you
Just remember one thing they are younger than us "

They will allways copy us because they look up to us .
