ordinary day.

she sat beside her brother after a long and tiring day at school. she's just finishing her papers and she also have taken exams to various universities.

all she hear was the noise created by the air-conditioning unit and the hum she is making while she massage her brother's hand.

until she heard knocks and the door cracked open and revealed a boy who was in crutches but was smiling at her.

she urged him to come in and he did. his smile slowly evaporated through thin air as his gaze travelled from her to the person laying beside her.

"is he improving?"

she shook her head. he breathe out and sat beside her as he taps her back trying to comfort her.

"well at least you know your brother still does care about you."

"by killing himself? by letting me deal with all of this? alone?"

"his intentions was not that. just like the storm, it left a place in disaster but it knew there's something good that'll come out of it."

"i sometimes like you being deep but most of the times i don't understand it. what do you mean then?"

"trust in your brother and whatever outcome or decision he makes, look on the bright side. don't dwell on the dim one."
