Only the two of us are left for each other
I didn't realize when I fainted . When , opened my eyes . It was all blur for a minute . I could hear several voices coming from all directions . I could not understand what was happening . A minute later my vision cleared and I could see my brother standing in the front . His eyes all swollen and bloodshot . He was trying so hard to pretend not to cry but his eyes were telling it all . I tried to call him but my voice was trembling and my words vanished in the hustle bustle of the surroundings . I gathered up my energy and with all my might I called him . He looked at me and came to me , he bent down so as to hear me . I asked , all frightened ," Where are mom and dad ? They were there when I was conscious . I saw her bracelet and his spectacles . Where are they ? Are they in critical condition ?".
As I said this , he could no longer hold his tears back . I was terrified .
His voice trembled , " Mom ......Dad..they...they left us ".
" This is no time to joke , tell me where are they . Just tell me where are they ".
" Anna , get a hold of yourself . I am not joking . You know.....you know I would never joke at this time .......when we are the only ones left.....for each other ".
These words seemed as if something stabbed me . I could feel my hot tears falling through the cheeks . I could not believe that just happened.
I got up in immense pain trying to go to search them . Diego ( my brother's name ) held me with his both arms trying to stop me .
" Leave me , they must be here somewhere . I will find them . Stop speaking nonsense "
" Anna, you have injured your leg . Can't you see . Whether you believe it or not , the truth is we no longer have our parents .......they have left us ". He shouted at me so loud that I had never seen him lose his control so much .
I gave up and sat back on the bed . Tears pouring from my eyes as well as his . A few moments later , I was out of breath . I came closer to Diego. He then wrapped his arms around me and started rubbing his hand up and down on my back to console me . We cried like this for over an hour . And we didn't realize when we fell asleep . When I woke , my brother was asleep on a stool with his head resting on my bed holding my hand . Not until then , I realized , my legs were killing me . When I saw them , I noticed a plaster on my right leg . I had no time to worry about my broken leg. But when I saw my brother , I noticed that his cheeks were red and dry from crying but his face was now still and calm . I looked at him for a while , at his face thinking that he was now the only person I have in my life . He was now my everything....................
