ALLEN Point Of View
The trees that passed through me had a new story to tell about the town I was visiting. My dad had his cowboy hat on to get the country feel and my big brother who sat next to him was texting his girlfriend about his long-awaited break up. I on the other hand was in the back seat pushed against the loaded bed sheets, which would come in handy when I fell asleep.
We were moving downtown after my mother passed away, as dad couldn't handle the loss. He was losing it each day. He would drown himself with alcohol each night and would either turn up sleeping on streets or getting badly hurt and thrown in an alley.
He was never home the day he got drunk. I knew he loved my mom very much and she was the most beautiful and lovable women. She was kind and warm-hearted, everything our family needed but her death brought sufferings to us all. My brother Kavin who is 24 this year started doing drugs.
Things were becoming serious and everyone was just using their own methods to overcome sorrows. Due to the severity of his alcohol consumption, my dad was kicked out of his job and the earnings to the family gradually decreased. I was a normal college-going girl who had to look after them and handle family matters like paying bills and doing household chores as my mom wasn't here with me.
We never expected her to leave us so soon. It was just like any other day. My mom packed my lunch box, while my brother was still sleeping in his warm cosy bed. My dad was getting ready for his job. The Hussle and bustle in the morning was my favourite sound.
It was my last year of high school and I was happy that we could go on a trip to Singapore after my exams got over. My last class was going on when I got a call. It was from an unknown number. I sneaked below my desk to pick up the call.
"hello" I said with a low faint voice.
"Allen,.....?" my father said choking.
"what happened dad" I asked trying to calm down my heartbeat. Never had he sounded so painful.
"come to the XXX hospital now" he said and I knew things were about to change.
I asked my friend Laura to pack my stuff and rushed out of the classroom without informing the teacher.
Every second I sat in the cab thinking what was happening in the hospital, I would lose my mind. After reaching the hospital I rushed to the floor my father had informed.
When I saw my brother comforting my dad who had fallen on his knees, I knew that my worst dream had come true. "Your mom left us" he said, tears running down his cheeks.
I looked at my brother for explanation and he said with a crocked voice that "she was coming back from grocery shopping when a car ran over her".
I hugged my dad brawling my eyes out. That was the moment I had experienced a loss I could never gain.
"I came first, this room is mine" I said trying to close the door.
"brother's first, sister's second" he said pushing in his leg between the door.
"plwzzz big bro" I said making an innocent smile.
"plwzzz little sis" he said imitating me.
I had to use my last weapon "I will tell dad that you were dating" I gave him a satisfied victory smile looking at him. and we both knew who stayed in the room with the balcony.
"fine take it, but never let me catch you with a guy because that will be the end of him" he said going to room beside mine.
My brother had a 2-year long relationship with Naina, she was hot and good-looking chick, they both were always in their honeymoon period fondling around each other. you ask me how I know this? It's because I was always third-wheeling between them. He wanted to come out about their relationship on our mother's birthday but she left us before that.
