What happened to my old perfect life?

Chapter 9

In my head the same sentence was heard on and on and on. 

"One day, you will understand everything! One day you will!" 

What will I understand? Did he mean the thing between him and Mariam? Because if that is what he meant, I already understood. They are together, but she told him that it's impossible to be my brother! 

But what I don't understand is that if they are really together, why would she tell him that he's my brother? And how did she know that he is my brother? Obviously, if he really is my brother, because I have my doubts on that!

"Why so quiet?" Robert asked me as he noticed that I wasn't talking and that there was perfect silence in the car.

"Why so mysterious?" I asked him as well ignoring his question.

"Because I have my story just like you have yours," he told me while smiling.

"But you know mine! So it’s your turn to say yours."

"I pass!" he smirked at me.

"I didn't tell you that you could pass because I'm commanding you to tell me!" I responded him in a raised voice.

"Too bad we arrived!" He smirked at me again while unbuckling his seat belt.

I looked away from him and saw that we really arrived at the hospital, so I told him, "We'll talk about this later!" and I walked away to catch my little brother since he started running around.

After walking past a few corridors, we arrived at room 359. I opened the door slowly and saw my dad leaning on the bed. Seeing him like this, made my heart ache. He was a strong man, he was always joking and taking life as comes to him without worrying, but now he was in this state. He was depending only on the machine that he had connected to him. 

Hearing someone crying I looked behind me and saw my little brother crying. I approached him and told him, "He's going to be okay! I promise!" I gave him my index finger to make a promise with him, even though I, myself wasn't certain that my dad was going to be okay.

Hugging my little brother, tears got out of my eyes as a flashback came back to me.

When my dad, mum, my little brother and I were at the playing field, I was happy about my little brother, but at the same time I was jealous for all the attention that was given to him. And now I wished that he was given some attention because I could feel the loneliness he was feeling!

A knock was heard, I turned my head and I saw the nurse walking in.

"I'm sorry time is up for visitors, but you can always come back tomorrow!" She added with a small smile on her lips. I just nodded my head, grabbed my brother's small hand and began to walk out of the room.

Walking through the corridors I saw Robert talking to the secretary at the desk. 

"So I'll see you then! And remember you can't tell anyone about this!" he told her and then turned away without seeing my brother and me, but unfortunately as they say children are innocent because my little brother yelled, "Robert!!" and that scream made Robert turn around and look at us. 

He looked suspiciously at me, but then I flashed him one of my innocents fake smiles, he smiled back to me and walked towards us.

"Ready to go?" Robert asked me.

"I'll see you at the parking lot because I forgot something," I told him. He nodded at me and they walked away from me. I stood there seeing them walking away and then I turned to the blonde nurse, the same one Robert was talking to a few minutes ago.
