In a rich family, a child was born and named as Brian. Brian grew so full of energy like he always love to have his parent's attention. Brian always try to annoy them and do crazy things to get their attention.
One day, his parents had enough of his playthings and decided to end his childish traits since he's already 12 years old. They called him and had a discussion regarding his behaviour. Brian's parents scolded him to stop taking such ideas inside his head and he needed to understand the importance of the tasks his family.
Brian only wanted to have their small attention because they're always away from home, and when they return they immediately take their rest. Brian never told those kind of things that hurt him even when he wanted to tell and beg for a little attention.
As years goes by, Brian decided to be academically talented. He earned so many achievements and medals because of his determination and efforts on trying to please his parents.
Year by year he became academically honored, but his parents never came to atleast one awarding ceremony. Brian never stop on his conviction on pleasing his family in exchange for attention.
The same thing goes over and over until he was about to graduate on his engineering degree as a Summa Cumlaude.
At the day of the ceremony, Brian was filled with excitement as he waited for his parents outside. After years of earning their attention, he'll be able to have a photo with his parents along with his achievement. Sadly, it never happened.
Brian's parents called and they told him they couldn't make it because of important matters into their business. At that point, he was filled with desperation and sadness as he tried to beg for his parents to atleast take a photo with him. They said goodbye and dropped the call as tears slowly fell down from Brian.
Brian attended the ceremony by himself and then he joined his friends to have a drink after. As he partied hard, he got wasted then suddenly went into the streets. His friends tried to stop him but he insisted to go, since most of the were drunk they just let him go.
As Brian walks around the streets he suddenly heard a vehicle's horn. He looked behind him and all he saw was a bright light. Brian was almost knocked out unconscious, all he heard next was people screaming for help. His sights were blurry and he slowly closed his eyes.
While he was unconscious, he suddenly heard the vehicle's horn again and woke up. He noticed that he was in the hospital and quickly stood up to check what's happening outside.
As he went outside, he saw his family screaming for his name. That was the very first time his family looked for him and he was happy.
Brian's family ran towards him as he tried to hug them. What happened next was an unbelievable experience that he faced. His family went through him as they ran into the emergency room.
Brian couldn't believe that he's gone and he couldn't be with his family anymore. He got angry not because his parents never paid attention to him atleast once or because they only came when he got into an accident. Brian's anger was because he was never able to feel his family's touch.
Brian love his family so much that the moment they looked for him filled his satisfactions. Even with lack of attention, he is still happy that he'll move on knowing his family still cares.
A man who did everything just to get a small attention from his love ones, had taken what he wanted but in exchange for his life.
