I Hate You, Brother!

"Brother, pleaseeee~ Help me for this time... Please~" says Norman begging his brother to help him with something. His brother, on the sofa, feels annoyed with his little brother's attitude. He pushes Norman slowly and stands up.

"What's going on with you? Acting like a child?" says Nicholas while scratching his ears and picking nose.

"Ew..." Norman can't help but to feel disgusted by his older brother's behavior. But still, Norman struggles to beg Nicholas for help as he can't get anyone else. Nicholas aggressively says 'No!' and he ends up going to his room to get some sleep since it's 10.30 p.m..

In a minute of seeing his brother enter his room, Norman lower his head and says,

"I see.. You don't love me anymore..". A struck of lightning stabs Nicholas's heart after hearing that sentence. He turns his head and sees his little brother covering his eyes on the sofa. Norman continues his words.

"I realized, you've been neglecting and avoiding me these days. As if you don't care about this one's feelings anymore..". Nicholas stops. His eyes are wide open.

Norman cries and shouts,

"AM I STILL YOUR LITTLE BROTHER THAT YOU USED TO LOVE AND CLINGING TO?! OR AM I JUST A STRANGER AND A NOBODY IN YOUR HEART?!" Norman's face is red. Then, he stars sobbing and crying so much. Luckily, their parents aren't home because they go for honeymoon. If they are here, Nicholas would lost his head already because the parents love babying their youngest son.

Nicholas, in the other hand, is speechless. He can't believe his own sibling just said that. The elder brother's heart is hurting. But somehow, he feels that Norman is just too dramatic.

"Hey, enough of that! You're too dramatic! And what do you mean by neglecting and avoiding you?! Last time, I gave my LAST PIECE of pizza to you which is my favourite. And two days ago, YOU STOLE my chocolate-mint ice cream. Also, whenever and wherever I go, you would always find me. In an accessible words, we see each other EVERY DAY! Sigh... Now, go to your bed, okay?" he tries comfort his brother by pulling his hand. But.. It doesn't goes as he planned.

Norman snatches his hand. He had enough!

"Get away! Don't find me!" Norman gets his sweater and get out of the house madly. The weather outside is quite cold too. Nicholas is speechless. He couldn't believe this just happened. He can't think properly as his heart feels so guilty and hurt.

After he calms his head, Nicholas grabs his slippers and go outside the house to find his brother. Then, he notices the dark sky starts raining heavily. He can't hear other people's voices at the road, but the beat of the rain surrounds his ears loudly.

"HEY, NORMAN! WHERE ARE YOU?". As he running, he shouts his heart out to call his brother. He's looking everywhere including the public toilet, which is the most impossible place to find Norman because he hated dirty.

After half an hour of searching here and there, Nicholas still doesn't find Norman, and this feels like he can faint in any minute because of his anxious. As he's walking and cathing his breath, he doesn't even realize that he already near the cliff, far away from his house.

"Wait, it's 'this' far already?! Sigh.. I cannot find him anywhere.." says him. He looks at his watch.

"It's 7.02 p.m. now.. It's time for dinner. But how can I eat my dinner in peace when--"... suddenly, Nicholas's eyes attracted to a red cloth which is super near to the cliff. The cloth seems a bit familiar to him. But he can't guess it correctly because it's a little bit far from him. He goes to the red cloth and sees it as a sweater. And then.. His heart somehow beats faster.....

BA BUMP! BA BUMP!

"Wait.. Wait! That sweater..! Isn't that...?!" Nicholas can't bear to continue his words as he don't want his negativity to controls himself. He approaches the sweater and take it from the ground. He's shocked!

"It's.. Exactly the same as Norman's sweater that he just wore! Don't- Don't tell me.. " Nicholas looks down the cliff.

"He..... didn't commit suicide..... did he?". Nicholas's heart is beats louder and louder. His body is shaking. His eyes sees like dead, and his hands can't move and inch. He's too scared to imagine the scene, where his little brother jump of the cliff because he thinks his older brother have been neglecting him and hates him so much. He's too scared that he can't even think straight.

Not even a second has passed, tears flowing down his cheeks. His heart broke so much and he feels like dying.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" he shouts and cries his heart out so much that he doesn't care if anybody sees him cry like that. He regrets of what he has done to his own brother. (which he actually don't know)...
