DROWNING DESTINY

Chapter 6

Naizen gulped with that fact. Leticia wasn't lying, he knew that the coming back home Harry will never even give them a smile. For a long time, even in his age, although his father despises him for choosing the career and path that his father didn't like, he was never been that too affected for he always had his brother in his back.

Aside from Ellen who are their younger sister in heart, Harry was there for him even if to face their father. And now, he couldn't think it right with the news that his beloved brother was gone, gone really gone.

"Naizen? Leticia?"

Both of them turned their heads to see Ellen who called their name from behind. Ellen immediately pulled Leticia into a hug and the girls suddenly burst into tears in each other arms.

"Ellen, what path do you think is the best for me after this?" Leticia asked while sobbing heavily in Ellen's shoulder.

"What happened was surely too heavy and all. I know how much of a pain you are feeling right now, Leticia. I am in pain for Harry was my brother — my big brother. But I am certain that he would never be happy if he was seeing us like this," Ellen said.

Naizen was just listening the girls thinking what kind of a military life his brother has. Harry never even told them that they will be going to that town nor province called Herria for this terrorist. He knew that their mother would never let him but since he was not just an ordinary military, he was a captain and he has the responsibility to keep the country at peace.

Naizen gritted his teeth with the tought of wanting to see this terrorist. Those people were brave and all because they're hiding in a place where the military would go to them. And even before the military reached the perimeter, they were already ready. The already had their camp ready.

"How can death so painful? Why people die? When I heard that he was gone, my world literally stopped that I even couldn't feel my own heartbeat," Leticia sobs.

Naizen could relate. Because the moment his father said that Harry, his brother was gone, he don't know what was his father mean. Literally, Harry was gone at home but when he realized what was that gone mean, he felt his world stopped and it shuttered his heart into pieces.

He was just staring at the nothingness without minding the time and without realizing of how long he was staying in there. When he heard the commotion from their house gate, he take a look at it and their, the casket with the country's flag covered in it coming inside their residence, he knew what the hell was that.

He knew who the hell was coming. He didn't realize that Leticia and Ellen were gone down the stairs until he saw them both running towards the coffin along side with his mother. Leticia immediately hugged the coffin where the remains of Harry was placed.

The evidence was finally here. He was still holding on to the tiny tie he could hold on hoping and wishing that hopefully, the military was just had nor made a mistaken identity report and would take the first report that it was the Captain Harry Alvarez who died.

However, now that he was seeing a crate getting inside their residences, his wish was never granted. He really just lost his brother. The terrorist ABYSS really killed his brother.

And this time, he can no longer hold his tears that was wanting to come out since the moment he realized what was happening. While standing here in the terrace and looking at downstairs, he just became as weak as the girl that was hurting. He was crying unsound.

"Harry!"

He heard his mother cried his brother's name. He stared at his father and for the first time in his lifetime, he was the great Gonzalo Alvarez was in tears while holding her mom and looking at his brother's casket.

All these people — including him loves Harry so much that everyone burst into tears with the fact that Harry would no longer give an appearance from today. He was just looking at these people for he don't like to join the commotion of seeing his brother.

He believed that he was a well respected martial instructor and that just mean he wasn't weak. That he was strong and he knew his capability. However, this time — today, he felt he was in his weakest. He never thought that he would be in this moment this early.

"Harry, why didn't you fight for it? Why did you allow this to happen? Why did you lost your life in the place where no one among you loved ones would hug you first nor tell you that you are loved even for the last time? How can you leave me like this?!" Leticia shouted in the middle of crying so heavy while Ellen was hugging her from behind with her nonstop tears flowing down her cheeks.

No one is going to moved on this pain. He was certain of that. They would put this atleast the last of the kist of their memories that they would never moved on.

"I promise to look at everything you love, brother. I promise to take care of everything. I promise to make sure that they are at peace like how you take care of them. We weren't able to say last words and I wasn't able to hear the words that you want to tell me," he mumbled.

Naizen again gritted his teeth when he saw the media personnel was bumping each other just to get to talk with his parents and Leticia. For sure, the incident between this terrorist called ABYSS was kind off a national issue and that was why reporters just came and bothered his brother first day home.
