SOME LIVES IN MIRACLE

Suddenly James said, 'it's all because of me, nothing like this would have happened if I had not come into your world and he felt guilty.'

Alex said, 'don't think like this, everyone in our home loves you and is glad to get you.'

James is not the biological child of Michael. Alex is the one who brings James into their house. James is an orphan.

Michael adopted him and gave him the place of his second child, who was lost when childhood.

But his wife Rose doesn't like that, and they fight because of this matter. She never wants to replace his second son's position with someone else she believes he will return.

Flashback…

"8 years ago."

"From the little light coming from the door, Alex saw the face; it was James. James ran from there. Alex followed him.

Alex saw James sell the chokes. He followed James. Alex finds out the reason why he took all the choke boxes.

It was an old broken building. There are almost fifteen children who are the same age and younger than him. Alex finds out it's an orphanage where the parentless children live.

James sells all the chokes and brings some food for them. He is like a guardian for them. James and his grandfather Peter taking care of them. Peter was not James' biological grandfather; he gets James when he is 2-years old, and he treated him as his grandson.

Alex feels sad about that, and he decided to do something. The next day Alex brings lots of food items for the children and gives them to them; they become very happy.

James went to search for some work. And he returned with some food. But he saw Alex giving food to them. James got angry, and he said to them, give it all back. They obeyed and gave back all the food.

James said to Alex, 'don't ever try to do it again, rich like you never understand us.'

And he said to children, 'don't be blind in it; there is nothing permanent in the world, once you receive it you will blind in it, and when you don't get it again you become hurt.'

Alex said, 'I want to help them, let me help them, I meant it.'

James laughed loudly and asked, 'what you could do? Bring these foods; for how many days?' Alex didn't answer.

James said, 'See you can't answer, rich like you never understand us, and our pains.'

Alex said, 'What if I help them for real and give them the life they want.'

James said, 'I will do anything for you.'

Alex said, 'don't forget your promise;' and returned home; he thought all night about what he could do.

Alex asked his dad if he brought a friend home did you accept. Michael smiled and said of course. Alex said all that happened and asked his father to help them.

The next morning Alex and Michael went to the old broken building. Alex said to James, 'I will help, and I'm going to help them don't forget what you said.'

Michael brings the children to 'Miracle orphanage.' It's the first time Alex finds out his father runs an orphanage.

Alex said to James, 'now it's your turn.'

James expressed his gratitude, crying. He could not express it in words.

Alex asked, 'Can you be my brother?' And come with us.

James silent for a second.

Alex said, 'you promised me you would do anything for me, you don't need to answer, I will take you with me.'

Alex asked Dad if he could bring him. Michael looked at James for just a few seconds, and he felt it's his lost son. He just hugged both of them and said, 'yes, 'it's your younger brother; we can bring him home.'

End of flashback.

**********************

Alex said, 'You're my brother and best friend forever, no one can change that, and don't try to blame yourself, you did nothing, let's cheer up man, we can bring mom and dad together again, and we didn't try to solve it and if you lose your hope without trying you will never succeed in your life.'

James and Alex said, together, we can do it.

The young man next door took a photo from his drawer and stared at it for a while. He is having pain; it's fully shown to his eyes.

I miss you; I miss you; I miss you lots, he said.

One drop of tears fall from his eyes to the photo; suddenly a small wind touches his face. It's like someone is trying to comfort him. Again the cold breeze touches his cheeks. He felt someone's presence there. He put the photo in the drawer. Suddenly the light went off.

It's full dark, can't even see anything, the young man next door lights up the candle. From the light coming from the candle, he looks more handsome. The water from his hair falls from his cheeks. The clothes are all drenched; it's like he takes a shower with his dress.

Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you….

He stops in the middle and wipes the candle with his hand, the pain of burring, he enjoys it, and he laughs out loud. The laugh and the darkness made a terror atmosphere.

***

Grana comes to check Aira; she sleeps like a baby, she looks even more beautiful in the sleep. She is sleeping with a smiley face, but her eyes are moving, it's like she is seeing a nightmare, Grana noticed that Aira's eyes are moving, she sat beside Aira, and she gently pressed Aira's forehead; Aira felt relaxed.

Grana took the canvas again; and looked at it for a second, and put down, then she went to her room.

Grana called Poppy and asked him to investigate something; and said to him it must be a secret between the two of us, never let anyone know about it.

Poppy replied, 'yes! Master, in a little scared voice.'
