A long journey

" Where's your brother? Why isn't he in this beautiful family photograph? "Sam asked, sipping another sip of tea from her mug. 

"He left us. " Jake said,slowly.

Sam froze on her feet as she stood there with her eyes not moving from Jake's face. She was not sure if she heard the right thing. Jake saw her staring at him so he said" No no, he's still alive. He was not there because he left for his studies at an early age. He was in a boarding school. "

"You almost scared me. " Sam smacks on his chest. 

"Who told you to jump into conclusion without considering the whole story? " He asked with a smirk. 

He really enjoys that. 

Sam scoffs as she finishes her last sip of tea. After a while she puts her cup back on the table and bade him goodbye. 

Next Day;
