Capítulo 6: 6) ALEXANDER'S PAST
"Don't worry ...I am here" Alicia said upon seeing his little brother who was grown up to a man whom everyone scares.. but to Alicia always will be her beloved little brother.
***************FLASHBACK *************
In the dimly lit hospital room, the air is heavy with the scent of antiseptic and the quiet hum of medical equipment. Alexander, a mere five years old, stands at the bedside of his parents, their still forms lying motionless beneath crisp white sheets. His big sister, Alicia, just ten years old, stands beside him, her face a mask of shock and devastation.
Tears stream down Alexander's cheeks as he clings desperately to his parents' hands, his cries echoing off the sterile walls. His small frame trembles with grief, his heartache palpable in every sob that racks his tiny body.
Alicia stands nearby, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stares at the lifeless forms of their parents. Her hands hang limply at her sides, her body frozen in shock as she struggles to comprehend the enormity of their loss.
The room feels suffocatingly silent, broken only by the sound of Alexander's plaintive cries and the distant murmur of voices from the hallway. Time seems to stand still as the siblings grapple with the devastating reality of their parents' sudden absence.
In the midst of the heartache and despair, Alicia's protective instincts kick in as she reaches out to comfort her younger brother. Wrapping her arms around him, she pulls him close, offering whatever solace she can amidst the overwhelming grief.
Together, they stand in silent solidarity, their worlds shattered by tragedy, yet bound together by the unbreakable bond of family. And as they cling to each other in the darkness of their grief, a flicker of hope remains, a beacon of light amidst the darkness, guiding them through the long and difficult journey ahead.
Uncle Tom: "Alicia, I found some of your parents' belongings in their room. It might be hard, but I think it's important for you to go through them."
Alicia: *takes a deep breath, nodding silently*
Uncle Tom: *opens a drawer and pulls out a phone, a pair of watches, and a bag* "These were your parents' favorite things. They always kept them close."
Alicia: *tears welling up in her eyes* "I... I don't know if I can do this."
Uncle Tom: *puts a comforting hand on her shoulder* "It's okay, Alicia. I'm here for you. We can go through this together."
Alicia: *takes a shaky breath, wiping away her tears* "Okay, let's start with the phone."
Uncle Tom: *hands her the phone* "This was your dad's. He used to take so many pictures with it."
Alicia: *holds the phone in her trembling hands, flipping through the photos* "They... they look so happy."
Uncle Tom: "They were, Alicia. They loved you and your brother more than anything in the world."
Alicia: *nods, a sad smile tugging at her lips* "I miss them so much."
Uncle Tom: "Me too, kiddo. Me too." *places a comforting arm around her* "Let's go through the rest of their things. We'll take it one step at a time."
Alicia was just scrolling their phone then suddenly she founds a video
In the video message, Alicia's father speaks with a voice strained with pain, his eyes filled with love and regret as he addresses Alicia and her brother, Alexander.
"Alicia, my brave girl, and Alexander, my little warrior, if you're watching this, it means we're no longer with you. I'm so sorry we couldn't say goodbye in person, but know that our love for you both will never fade. Alicia, you are a gem, a beacon of strength and resilience. Your mother and I are so proud of the young woman you've become.
Remember, Alicia, you have a responsibility to protect your brother, Alexander. He's small, but he's strong, and he needs you now more than ever. You two are each other's family now, and you must take care of one another until your last breath.
We loved you both more than words can express, but our time in this world has come to an end. Please, stay strong for each other. Hold onto the memories we shared and know that we'll always be watching over you, guiding you through life's challenges.
Lean on each other for support and never lose hope. You are not alone, my dear children. We'll always be with you, watching over you from above. Take care of each other, and never forget how much we love you."
With those final words, Alicia's father's voice fades away, leaving behind a bittersweet reminder of the love and strength that will continue to guide Alicia and Alexander through the darkest of times.
**********FLASHBACK ENDS*************
From that day onwards Alicia is determined to take care of her brother .... seeing Alexander suffering from insomnia ached her heart.
Finally Alexander woke up with some sallow breaths "oo... it ...it .... was a.... dream ..... I thought....I thought " Alexander managed to say something .
" It's okay , I think you should take a break , I am back and will be handling things here, you just be away from work for a few weeks. " Alicia told after helping Alexander to the sofa and removing his shoes and shocks .
"I can't , moreover I have transferred Mia to Bennet Holdings so that I can have a closer look on her... I promised aunt Emily to protect her ..... I have lost everything but I can't lost her" Alexander who has laying on the sofa said .
" I know that how important is Mia to you .. and I also don't want her to dissappear again .." Alicia said.
Alicia fondly recalls Mia's presence in their lives, describing her with intricate detail. Mia, with her soft smile and twinkling eyes, radiated sweetness that enveloped everyone around her. She and Alexander shared a special bond, spending countless hours playing imaginative games and exploring the world together.
Despite her tender nature, Mia possessed a playful spirit that often led her to gently chide Alexander for his habit of wearing inadequate clothing in the cold. With a mix of amusement and concern, she would lovingly scold him, reminding him to bundle up properly to stay warm.
As the days unfolded, Mia's influence gradually worked its magic on Alexander. Her warmth and kindness thawed the frostiness in his heart, slowly but surely. Through Mia's presence, Alexander learned the true meaning of love and companionship, forever cherishing the memories they shared.
"I have a solution " Alicia proposed some ideas.
"And what it is?" Alexander still lying .
"Since I am finally here , I will take care of the things here, you just go o a vacation and dig the past and call me if you find something... meantime I will take care of Mia.... it's been 2 years I haven't seen Mia and I missed her too ..... so don't worry me and Ace will take care of the company..." Alicia told while making some coffee.
"Oh! That bastard. " Alexander exclaimed.
"Hey why are you calling your friend bastard."Alicia protested.
" It's our language. " Alexander told.
"Whatever" Alicia.
" By the way you two are hanging out na ??" Alexander asked .
"Yes" Alicia blushed.
"That's why he was acting weird all the time in the house . I should have predicted it."
Alexander taunt her.
Seeing that Alexander was back in shape , she made her own coffee and said.." I was thinking to make coffee for us both but It's seems you are perfectly okay..so make your coffee yourself ... "
"Hey ! why are you seemed so offended..... you are leaving your sick brother like this.... without a coffee...." Alexander cutely said.
"Whatever" Alicia then just left ...
"This devil" .....Alexander just muttered and was on his way to the coffee table suddenly his phone rings.....
