My Severe Brother

ch 95: Forgiveness

Peter's pov

It's 4 pm, we were driving home. " Was the report good too?" I asked,

" It was like a summary, it includes the necessary points but the structure was wrong. I am gonna fix it but you did a great job! Proud of you." He replied and ruffled my hair

I beamed with joy as I grinned, " Thanks."

" Don't thank me, honey." He smiled at my smile

" No, I should thank you day and night for trusting me and making me cross my limits and overcome my doubt. If I dream about a brother, I won't get one like you ever. I love you and I appreciate all that you do for me." I said, taking his hand in mine and kissing it softly

He pulled his hand and caressed my cheek, " You are so wonderful, little brother."

Then he kissed my hair and pulled me into a side hug. I love how he is so open with me better than the first time I saw him.

" You still want to see mom's grave."

" Yes, please."

He nodded. He took me to the grave. I was walking behind him with some tulip flowers in my hand until he stopped. " This is mom."

" Ohh." I crouched down

I don't know what to say or what to do. I looked at him and he said smiling," Hey, mom, this is Peter, we found each other."

I touched the sol and I Said, " Hey mom, I don't know what to say. it's my first time I come here. I don't know you but I'm sure you were a very fabulous woman. I'm sorry, I wish that I can see you and hug you but it's impossible, please accept this flowers from me, I love you so much, you raised a very nice brother for me."

I felt some tears sneaking through my eyelashes. I wiped them off and turned to my brother who was just smiling warmly at me.

I stood up and walked to him. He asked, " Can you wait for me in the car?"

" Yes."

He gave me the keys and followed me with his eyes until I became so far from him. He didn't want to show this side of him. I know, he just want me to see him the strong person he is. Few seconds later, he came into the car.

" Are you fine?" I asked him

" Of course, I am. I guess mom is so happy that you came to see her." He said to me

I nodded. " I hope that I saw her even once before she died." I couldn't bear the tears

" Shh, Pete, calm down." He said, pulling me into his chest

" You still have the woman who raised you, I'm sure that Mom was happy and relieved as you were living with that woman. That's fate, honey. God knows what is better for everyone and I think he sees that living with that woman is better for you." He said, comforting me

I nodded, " So you are not mad at her?"

" No, she raised you very well. And she deserves to be called mom."

" How do you make it so easy for me every time!" I rested my head on his lap

He chuckled, caressing my hair, " Do you feel better?"

" Yes." I sat up in the passenger chair and put on my seatbelt

He nodded and started the car

" Cole, will you allow me to give you a piece of advice?"

He laughed, " Ohh God, say it."

" You know that... Uhm... In the blink of an eye, everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may never know when you may not have that chance again."
