Chapter 2 - Accident

"Mother? Father? Is everything alright?" I asked giving them a confused glance. My Mother answered after a long time "We went to pick up your brother. But he was not there. We also asked the receptionist if he left early or not, but they told us that he did not come to pharmacy today". "Oh-" I replied showing my concern as well.

We waited for him till midnight, but there wasn't a single sign of him. "Father why don't you check out with the hospitals if they receive any emergency patient or you can also call the police and ask if they say any accidents nearby today?" I suggested this idea to Mother and Father. And so Father started calling them and asking. After many tries when my Father called the last hospital, they said that they had received a patient today who had an accident near the bus stop, etc. I knew it would be probably Simon because he used to go to pharmacy by bus and then my Father used to pick him up when he was done with his pharmacy job. As Soon as my Father heard about it, he told my Mother to get ready, and then they both left for the hospital.

I was home alone again, and as my schedule I should go to sleep now its very late. Lets see what happens tomorrow.

I woke up in the morning with the sound of 3 to 4 people chattering continuously. I went downstairs and noticed that the voice was coming from my brothers room. As soon as I entered all eyes in the room headed towards me. My brother was on his bed, my mother and father were on the right side of the bed and on the other side of the bed there were two nurses explaining the routine for his drip, etc. I noticed that my brother was gone in coma.

I guess I can now make a conclusion of it- So my brother left for the bus stop to go to the pharmacy but then a car or a cyclist might have hit him on his head and so my brother got unconscious and then he went into coma.

I took a day off from school that day, because Mother seemed to be looking quiet ill. I had to be there for her to support. Whenever someone gets damaged physically or emotionally, my mother starts getting worried for him or her a lot. Which damages her health as well. But I guess all the other mothers are like this. Whenever someone from family gets hurt, even a little, mothers are like cure for them because she takes care of them and she prays for them etc. Mothers and Fathers are like walking angel, without them, life is miserable.

Also I cant believe it! I WAS HAVING THAT TINGLING FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO GO WRONG. I should have told Mother and Father as soon as I started having that tingling feeling. I feel so bad right now. I think this all is my fault. I should have told everyone to be careful. I have to start working on this, that whenever I start having this tingling feeling I should be extra careful.

Oh I feel so bad for Mother and Father's Anniversary. It all just got ruined. But I hope that next Anniversary goes better and not like this one.

I feel like this house is gone empty, because when Simon used to be there, he usually tried to keep everyone happy. But now when he is not with us, I feel quiet lonely and broken at the same time.

But there is one thing which I'm still scared about. That tingling feeling is not gone. Its still ringing in my head. Something big still awaits-
