The Unexpected
My brother was really concerned about me, so he had a chat with our Pastor and his wife, since I was the churchy one. He requested for them to approach the court to grant them legal rights to adopt me as their daughter. Because he wasn't happy about the abuse I was going through, at the hands of my aunty. They asked him a couple of questions and we left. I went back to my aunty and he left for School.
A few weeks after he had this conversation with our Pastor, he was involved in a fatal accident. They rushed him to the hospital. It was a critical condition. Somehow, he was able to send me a text message. I didn’t get the message until the next day after the incident. The message read, "Life is so beautiful to waste it on the wrong things. You have always been the shining light in the family. Don't worry too much about me because right now I'm probably on the other side of eternity. Take good care of mom".
I didn't understand what was going on so I tried calling him about fifteen times, but he wasn't picking up. That was when I got a call from the hospital that my brother had just kicked the bucket. He actually sent me the text the day of the incident but due to network failure, I got it the next day. This left me mentally shattered. I felt like I was alone in this world.
