Chereads / DEAR BROTHER / Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 2: Precious Time

Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 2: Precious Time

Some interesting thing that most people will only realise when they have a younger sibling is, they have lost the title of being their parent's favourite child. Well, most of, not all. When their younger sibling being born in this world, their parent needs to committed to taking care of the new baby in the house. Crying at 2-3 am for milk is normal for baby, but for a child who is hungering for attention and love from their parent, this may affect them significantly, and they maybe will rebel in some sort of way.

The things also will become worse when your father also decides to left your families when your younger sibling just being born in this world...

"Ughh..." 

Luiz groaning silently when he remembers the bad memory from his past. 

Now the baby in the house will turn eight years old already in a couple of weeks. Last year Kyle got a new gaming console from his mother while Luiz only receives a book for his 16 birthday. But Luiz really doesn't really care when his mother gives Kyle more attention than him. 

When Luiz was a kid, he was very mature for his age. Even though when Kyle was born, he felt like his mother doesn't give him much priority, He still feels sympathy for Kyle. At least, Luiz still able to receive a lot of love from his mother and father. But when Kyle was brought to this world, He already misses half of the love that he had received when he was a kid. Kyle doesn't even know what having a father really meant.

"Luizzzz, are you done yet?" 

Kyle shouted from the living rooms. Its look like he cannot wait any more, he already becomes bored from waiting for his big brother to finish preparing himself.

"Just a minute" Luiz shout back from his rooms.

"Awww can you be quick? Hurry up the power bear is waiting for me to come". Sound like Kyle already started to be grumpy and impatient.

Luiz just chuckles at his little brother word and doesn't answer back.

"Maybe he already big enough but he still acting like a baby". Luiz thought to himself and sneaking a little bit.

Before leaving his rooms, Luiz quickly grabs his sling bag, where he put his camera, power bank and a bottle of mineral water.

"Maybe I can take a few pictures on the way back". Kyle thought to himself. 

A long time has passed since he touches his camera. His time was occupied by school and guitar, then somehow he totally forgot about the camera. 

About two years ago, He got that camera as a present from his grandparent who comes to visit. Now he rarely sees his parent because they decided to live abroad, somewhere in Asian countries. Nonetheless, that camera still meant a lot to him.

After making sure he brings all the essential things, then he goes to find his little brother in living rooms. Kyle, who still wear the same outfit from this morning, just stare at Luiz with his cross-arm.

"You are late!"

"Well, you should finish up your homework faster".Luiz said, teasing his little brother.

Just before Kyle throw a fit, Luiz quickly rumbling Kyle's hair and then asking,

"Are you ready for our movie date kiddo?"

Just like magic, Kyle suddenly forgets about their fight and felt very excited.

"Yeah, I cant wait to watch power bear save the day!" Kyle said while making a little move with his fist, imitating how power bear fights his enemies.

"Yeah sure you are, let's go" Luiz smile while softly push his little brother back toward the front door.

Luiz makes sure their home already appropriately locked before they started walking together to the nearest bust stop. He learned from his past mistake to avoid from being tattle-tale by Kyle. Before, because of his blunder, he was nagged by his mother for 2 hours straight, just because he forgot to lock the door before he goes out. Of course, thanks to the little rascal, Kyle.

Today, Luiz is wearing a grey jacket with a white inner shirt. His dark jeans and white with black stripe canvas shoes making him being lookout by other passers-by. Unlike his brother, who got dark brown hair from his mother. Luiz golden blond hair is more eye-catching and identical to his father. He really hated his hair because of that. He doesn't want to have any similarities with his father. But that is almost impossible with his appearance.

However, other people don't have a problem to recognize the Wilson brother. Even though they have different hair colour, but their face is so identical to each other.

On the way to the bus stop, they were accompanied by birds chirping beautifully, and sometimes a breezy wind comes to greet them. Some of the neighbourhood kid also can be seen playing and riding their bicycle, laughing joyfully. 

Luiz also notices his little brother who walks in front of him, is also very excited to watch the movie, Kyle was humming happily and keep kicking a small rock on the walkway.

"You sure are eager to watch that movie huh?". Luiz asking while rumbling his little brother hair.

"Of course, I cant wait to see power bear and his friends kicking the supervillain, mantroid ass!"

Once again, Kyle making weird noise and move, with his little fist.

"Are you sure? You don't know, maybe mantroid will get power-up and this time, power bear will begging for help warghhhhh" Luiz said, putting both his hand on the air and playfully chasing Kyle.

"Ahhh power bear help me!". Kyle said as he starts to run from being chased by the mantroid companion.

Luiz finally managed to capture Kyle and ready to launch his attack.

"Here comes my super-secret move, super ticklish disaster".

"what?? But that is so lam—AHAHAHA stops it. Po..w.er be..ar will co..me HAHA to destroy you! HAHAHA", Kyle struggling talking under his breath. But the mantroid companion keeps launching his attack to his victim. Kyle, who is helpless, just surrender being attacked by his brother.

In the end, Luiz and Kyle both cheerfully giggling and having fun together. Cherish every minute of their precious memories, to be remembered forever.

...

After a while, they finally able to continue their trip, and eventually, they arrived at the bus stop. At the bus stop, there was a pair of father and son. Happily chatting with each other. Looking at their appearance and belonging, they must be planning to go to the park.

Kyle couldn't help but keep staring at the pair of father and son. After some time, the bus for a couple of father and son arrived. Leaving alone Kyle and Luiz who sitting and waiting for their bus.

"Hey Don't worry, our bus will arrive in a couple of minutes", Kyle said while looking at the watch on his smartphone.

Kyle couldn't help but kept thinking about the father and son that they just meet. In the beginning, He felt very excited about the movie, but now, for some reason, he felt dejected. Like a string just snapped in his heart. 

Luiz, who was browsing his phone at that time doesn't realize how his little brother felt. His mind is occupied by the thought of buying a birthday gift for a Kyle. Should he buy early? Or just wait in the last moment? But then, how can he hide the birthday gift from his little brother if he buys early?

Suddenly, Kyle, out of the blue turn around to facing Luiz.

"What's wrong Kyle? Are you ok?". Luiz felt worried about seeing Kyle sudden weird behaviour.

"Luiz... can I asked you something?". Kyle asked, looking directly at Luiz's eyes.

"Yeah sure, anything buddy". Luiz still smiling while looking at Kyle concerned face.

All of a sudden, the two brothers surrounding felt a little bit gloomy. Like a colossal of a thunderstorm will arrive in a moment, even though it is shining brightly outside.

"Did Dad  really love us?"
