Nick sat on the chair next to Doctor Rayan.
Nick: "What happened doctor."
Doctor Rayan replied, "The result reports of Mr. Mark's brain tests are out now."
Nick: "What is the result."
Doctor Rayan: "Mam, Mr. Mark has a brain tumor."
Nick stood up shockingly and said, "What?"
Doctor: "Yes this is the second stage."
Nick: "Oh my God! Mark has been suffering from a brain tumor for a long time. l and I didn't even have any idea about his (Mark's) situation."
Doctor Rayan said, "Mam, Don't worry. Everything is to go on a be okay and we have to start his proper medication process otherwise it can be worst in the future than now."
Nick: "Oh I see so uhh what are you gonna do for his medication."
Doctor Rayan: "I'll give you the receipt of some pills and you have to take him Every week for having a medication in the hospital."
Nick: "You mean that I can take him home with me right?"
Doctor Rayan nodded his head as yes and said, "Yes but the medication process is cost more than the costs of the tests."
Nick: "How much costly is it?"
Doctor Rayan: "800$ for a month."
Nick put her hand on her forehead in worthiness and said, "Oh I see."
Doctor Rayan: "So what is your opinion?"
Nick: "Okay I'll arrange the money."
The doctor wrote some medicines, notified Nick about the precautions, and Gave a slip to Nick."
Nick went out of the doctor's office and headed to the patient's room.
Mark looked at Nick and said, "You are here! What did the doctor say?"
Nick: "Mark you have a brain tumor, you have to be careful and skip school for now."
Mark: "School? Which school?"
Nick: "Nothing let's go home."
Nick called the cab and took Mark to their home.
Mark entered the home and looked around by seeing, "Oh so this is our home. Where is Eden?"
Nick: "He is with doctor Brooklynn."
Mark: "Who's that?"
Nick: "That's my friend."
Mark: "I want to get some sleep."
Nick: "Okay let's go to your room then."
Mark looked at his phone.
Nick suddenly snatched his phone and said, "The doctor restricted you to take any phone in your hand. Don't use the mobile phone."
Mark: "Why?"
Nick: "Because right now, its rays are fatal to your brain cells."
Mark rolled his eyes and said while laying on the bed, "Okay lady. I'll get some sleep first."
Nick headed to the lounge and sat on the sofa. Nick dialed the number of Brooklynn and called her (Brooklynn).
Brooklyn was in her clinic.
Eden was playing while sitting in her clinic.
Brooklyn received a call.
Nick said, "Hello mam."
Brooklyn: "Hello Nikkie. How is your brother's condition now?"
Nick: " How is Eden is he comfortable with you?"
Brooklyn looked at Eden while passing a smile and said: "Yes he is. How's Mark?"
Nick: "Hmm, Mark is not fine. He has a brain tumor."
Brooklynn: "What a brain, did I hear it right?"
Nick: "Yes. He has a brain tumor but the doctor said that he would be okay by doing his proper medication."
Brooklyn: "Oh I see. So you have to be careful for him."
Nick: "But the medication is costly and I already took my two months salary in advance for doing Mark's brain tests and now I don't have any money."
Brooklynn: "How much costly is that?"
Nick: "uhh it uhh 800$."
Brooklynn: "Oh, lemme help you."
Nick: "But you already helped me a lot."
Brooklynn: "Shut up Nikkie. You know Mark's life is very important."
[That's how Brooklynn helped Nick in providing the money for Mark's medication.]
Brooklynn took Eden back to Mark and Nick's place.
Eden entered the house and ran towards Mark's room.
Mark was sitting.
Eden: "Mark!"
Mark looked at Eden while saying, "Who are you?"
Nick: "He is our Eden Mark."
Mark: "Oh so you are Eden. How are you, Eden?"
Eden: "I am fine. Did you forgot me?"
Mark: "Yes."
Nick: "Let's have dinner, Eden."
They had dinner together.
[Mark and Eden didn't go to school since then.]
*One day*
Mark was making his coffee in the kitchen.
Eden ran towards Mark and said, "Mark, Can you back some cookies for me."
Mark: "I don't know the recipe."
Eden: "But you made cookies earlier and now you are lying."
Mark scolded loudly: "I told you that I don't know how to bake cookies so why don't you understand."
Eden became unhappy and started crying while rashly steeping to the room.
Nick: "Mark, that is a child you have to be calm and you just treat him well."
Mark: "Who the hell is he to me."
Eden was listening and crying.
Nick shouted furiously after listening to Mark's statement: "Mark, Eden was just six months baby when he reached to you. His parents left their dear child with you and now forgot that who is he."
Mark: "I don't know I feel headache and dizzy I need to get some sleep."
Mark's phone was on the couch.
Mark went to get sleep.
Eden was in Nick's room.
Suddenly doctor Brooklynn called Nick.
Nick received the call.
Brooklynn: "Hi Nikkie, how are you, Mark and Eden?"
Nick: "Yes I'm fine, Mark is getting mad and Eden is worried about Mark's behavior."
Brooklynn: "Oh my God. By the way, I called you to get your permission."
Nick: "Permission about what?"
Brooklynn: "About taking Eden for a day. My husband (Erwin) and I want to take hill station Eden for a weekend to have fun. Tomorrow is Saturday so can you permit me to take Eden for a weekend."
Nick: "I think it would be the best idea if you take Eden with you."
Brooklynn: "Okay then Erwin and I will bring Eden with us and you don't need to pack his stuff. Erwin already bought so many clothes for him."
Nick: "Oh ma'am, you guys don't have to buy any clothing for him (Eden), he already has so many clothes."
Brooklynn: "But we already had bought so please, I have to pack up than see you tomorrow okay?"
Nick: "Okay mam bye."
Nick stepped to her room. She (Nick) peeked inside. Eden was sitting and crying.
Nick entered the room and said, "Do Eden want to go out for having fun on your weekend."
Eden said while wiping his treaty eyes, "Yes but not with Mark."
Nick: "Dear Mark is just worried about his condition. He is sick so don't mind him otherwise he loves you so much."
Eden: "I hope Mark would be okay. I know he loves me and I love you both."
Nick: "Oh I forgot to tell you something, your aunt Brook and her husband want to take you out for having fun on your weekend and they already bought so many clothes for you, tomorrow is a weekend and they'll bring you to that place tomorrow so you better get some beauty sleep because tomorrow is a new day that is waiting for you ahead."
Eden: "Can I sleep with you?"
Nick chuckled a bit and replied, "Why not my dear."
*The sun raised with a new day*
Nick told the home address to Brooklynn.
Brooklynn and Erwin received Eden.
Eden happily went with Brooklynn and Erwin.
When Eden sat on the back seat in the car.
Erwin looked at Eden and said, "Do you know where are we going?"
Eden: "Nick told me that you are taking me out of town to enjoy a weekend."
Erwin: "Yes pretty boy, you got this."
Brooklynn: "This pretty boy was crying yesterday when I called Nick for permission."
Erwin started driving and said (while focusing on his driving), "Why we're you crying man, you know successful people don't cry."
Eden: "Mark scolded me yesterday and he asked me to get out."
Erwin and Brooklynn looked at each other.
Brooklynn: "It's okay Eden. You know Mark loves you and the person who loves you the most always scolds you the most."
Eden: "We'll, where are we going to?"
Erwin: "We are going to a hill station."
Eden: "It's my first time seeing a hill station. Wow, I am so excited."
Brooklynn and Erwin chuckled.
Brooklynn said, "Haha Eden you are so cute."
After one and half hours of traveling,
They reached the hill station.
They stayed at a resort.
It was evening, Brooklynn and Erwin decided to take Eden to the lake.
Eden was playing volleyball with Erwin and they were happy. Brooklynn was sitting and looking at them.
It was a bit cold weather.
They went to enjoy the winter.
While Eden was playing with Erwin, Jason was noticing them. Jason and Stallone were also there with their families.
Jason whispered in Stallone's ear and said, "Have you seen Mark here?"
Stallone was taking pictures of the kids and the view.
Stallone: "No what happened."
Jason: "Oh I think I saw Eden."
Stallone looked at Jason and said, "Really?"
Jason: "Yes. There they are."
Stallone looked at them (Eden, Brooklynn, and Erwin) and said, "Let me ask them."
Stallone went near to Eden and asked, "Eden dear who are you here with?"
Eden: "I m here high my Uncle and Aunt."
Erwin and Brooklynn stepped close to Eden.
Erwin said, "Yes sir what you want?"
Stallone: "Hi, do you know this child?"
Brooklynn: "Yes he is my friend's child."
Stallone: "Oh I see."
Erwin: "Do you know him (Eden)?"
Stallone: "Yes I am Mark's old friend."
Erwin: "Nick told us to take care of Eden. Mark is sick."
Stallone: "Okay thank you have fun."
After saying that, Stallone moved away from them. He (Stallone) whispered in Jason's ear, "Call Mr. Mark to clarify."
Jason called on Mark's phone number but Mark's phone was with Nick.
Nick and Mark, were sitting together in the lounge. Mark's phone rang unexpectedly.
Nick looked at Mark's phone and saw the name.
It was Jason.
Nick stepped out for a while and received the call.
Jason: "Hello Mr. Mark?"
Nick: "It's me, Nick."
Jason: "Where is Mark?"
Nick: "He is sleeping."
[Nick lied.]
Jason: "Sleeping? But Mark told me that he never slept?"
Nick: "He was sleepy so he slept."
Jason: "Oh okay then where is Eden?"
Nick: "He is not home."
Jason: "What do you mean by that?"
Nick: "He is with my friend."
Jason looked at Eden. He observed that Eden was happy as he found the love of his parents.
Kevin summoned Jason.
Kevin said loudly, "Daddy!"
Jason looked at Kevin and said, "Okay then I'll cut the call."
Jason saw on the phone screen to end the call but the call was already hung up by Nick's side.
Jason ignored Eden and went back to Kevin.
Nick entered the home and looked around.
Mark was absent.
Nick summoned loudly, "Mark, Mark?"
Nick peeked in Mark's room, kitchen, his bathroom at last she (Nick) peeked in her room.
Nick saw Mark and became shocked with an open mouth.
