The Last December

Chapter 35

My brother
Adeline
I stand in the kitchen making myself a coffee at 3 am in the night. Ali's fast asleep. But I couldn't. Not after reading my father's letter.
I put the capsule in the coffee machine.
"Knock knock" i look over my right side to see Mikael's entering the kitchen.
"What are you doin here?" I ask him.
"To get some snacks. Couldn't sleep" he comes inside and open the fridge while i take my coffee and stand near the aisle.
"Oh your fav cookies and cream Hershey's" he says as he takes out it of the fridge.
"I know right" i say.
He brings the chocolate and open the packet then he offers me a bite. I eat it.
"You remember when you locked yourself after Uncle caspher scolded you" he says. As he looks at me.
"Ah not so precisely" i say as i actually don't remember that incident perfectly.
"Yeah. He scolded you because you beat some girl in the class who was actually bullying someone but you got violent and hit her so her parents got really wild and then it was a big drama so uncle got really angry. He scolded you alot and then you locked yourself in your room and then me and Ali came with boxes of Hershey" he says and laugh. I laugh as well.
"Oh yeah. Then i opened the door i guess"
"Yes but do you know who told us you were upset?"
"Mom?"
"Nahh. Uncle called us. Gave us the boxes of Hershey's and told us to go to you and get you out of your room. I was so young but i still remember. You were a mess when you opened the door." He laughs as he finishes.
A tear slip out of my eyes.
"You don't have to get all emotional you seee" he wipes my tears and then he puts his palm on my tummy.
" I can't wait to become an uncle" he says.
As he looks down at my tummy.
"You'll be a good uncle" i say as i watch my brother getting excited to meet his nephew or niece. Yes. Mikael is my brother.

The letter I got from dad.
To My daughter. I hope you will forgive me.
Dear adeline
I never have the guts to tell you this, so i'm writing it down in hope you will find this someday and will be able to forgive me. I don't even know from where to start. But i guess i will start telling you from this. Mikael. He's your brother. Yes he's my son not zayn's.
I cheated on your mother, i swear that only happened once but yes i did, me and marina, we were lonely, your mother would always fight with me and always busy with her parties and posh life she wanted, on the other hand zayn was always busy with his work, he barely paid attention to marina, she was always alone, even more than me. So this one night i went to zayn's place to see him but he wasn't there and marina invited me over for a drink, she shared with me all the pain, she was going through, i was consoling her but we ended up in her bed and we were pretty drunk, we regretted it alot but later marina informed me that she was pregnant and it was my child, I wasn't sure but when i got the dna test i found it was true, Mikael is my son, your halfbrother, but i will never be able to accept him. Nobody knows about it accept me and marina. But marina died. So its me who holds the guilt. Everytime i see him, i feel the guilt of not loving him like I loved you. Hes a rebel kid but its only because of zayn's lack of attention to him. I sometimes feel zayn knows mikael is not his son that's the reason he avoids him. I feel really bad for betraying my friend and my family. I'm really sorry Addie. I hope someday if you find this and read it you will be able to forgive me for my actions. I love you Addie and i love my son too. Please protect him."
My dad's word goes around in my mind again and again. I always liked Mikael, but now i love him.
My parents were fucked up so is Ali's. But there's no fault of this innocent child. Yet in all of this Mikael suffered.
He looks at me, and then I hug him. He hugs me back.
"Everything will be alright" he assures. As he rubs my back.
Yes my little brother soon i will make everything right.
And then i ask him "who's sansa"
He rubs his hand in the back of his hair and he smiles, almost blushes.
"She's my gf you know"
"But who she is?" I ask him because i saw a text on his phone where that girl said i qoute. "My father will find me, Mikael" and that has got me alot of suspicions.
"Am, Sansa Cedric, is her full name, shes um_ daughter of Severus Cedric, a mafia head" he says and my eyes widen at the mention of Severus Cedric. I know him.
And my brother is definitely into some bad shit.
"Mafia?" I ask as if I don't know.
"Yeah, well i will tell you later now go to sleep" he says. And kisses my forehead then runs of the kitchen.
I call Eren, i know the time is definitely not appropriate but still.
He picks up.
"Is everything alright Mam" he ask in tensed tone.
"Yes. I want to meet Severus Cedric. Arrange my meeting with him"
"Really at the middle of night"
"Yeah really"
I might be aiming two aims with one bow this time.
Severus Cedric will be my key.
