DROWNING DESTINY

Chapter 9

"Thank you for the kind words towards my brother, sir," he simply responded, bowed his head a little and

left the officer alone.

Why does he felt like he suddenly getting so soft of people and that because of what happened to his brother? Well, he has to stay still and make sure that he won't do things that would add the pain in his mother — at least not now.

He was trying hard to put his anger behind all of this. For he know the fact that he can no longer do things that he wanted. They can only have the justice his parents were shouting right now when the head of this terrorist as well as the group itself get caught and spend his whole life behind bars.

Naizen gulped, gritted his teeth and clenched his fist thinking that Harry was doing everything that he needs while he couldn't do a thing for his brother. Not even in his death. What can he even freaking do?

He stopped when he spotted his father coming into his way. The old man was angry and that was obvious in his eyes. Who wouldn't? Harry was his favorite son, he was always been so proud of Harry that he allows him to do whatever his heart desires of doing.

"Dad," he greeted him.

He then remembered how the f*ck he had the last encounter with his father. They almost had a war in between for declining the old man's wants. However, until this moment, Naizen never want nor never think of being in the business industry for his heart was never in it.

"Naizen, have you seen your brother's face? He was so looking peaceful while sleeping at that box," his father immediately said.

"I can see that too," he answered and glanced his brother's coffin and there, his mother and Ellen was still there, maybe talking to Harry or anything.

He has alcohol in his head before he went here after Ellen told him that they needed to get home. But now, he seems to never drink anything. He couldn't taste the alcohol in his tongue anymore. It was all gone.

"He was looking so peaceful, however, was he really?"

His eyes narrowed when he heard how his dad questioned it. What does this old man mean? Was he thinking that maybe Harry died in anger?

"What do you mean?" he asked like he sounded with curiousity.

His father looked at him with disbelief. What? He couldn't believe that he asked it like he didn't get what the hell they were talking about? Among the two of them, he was the one that knows Harry a lot. He knew Harry and he knew how much of a heart his brother put in his work, in his mission that once he told him that there was really a chance that maybe, or one day, they will be getting his body like this — lifeless.

According to Harry when they had a chance to talk with each other way back, dying was part of his job. Bullets won't ditch him for it was aimed for the target and when he was the target, then it would landed in his body parts. Unfortunately, Harry seems to be ready and accepted this fate of him. He was so devoted with his career.

"Harry had so much plans in his life, Naizen. Your brother didn't like to be only a military. He wanted to be more than that, he has a dream and now, it wouldn't be happening already," he heard his father said.

"I thought you were proud of Harry being in a military for he made himself the captain of his team. He got promoted and you were happy with it. Were you pressuring him to do something for you? To become something for you?" He asked his father directly.

He then saw how the old man's eyes widened as he asked it. This time, it was the old man who couldn't believe the words he chose to mumble.

"I never asked Harry to do something that I say. I never forced my son to do something he never liked. Military was never in my list that I want him to be but look at him, he was a military and he even made himself the official of the team. You don't put words in my mouth, Naizen Alvarez."

Naizen smirked as he heard his father's remarks. Harry was always his favorite son and he would never stammer saying those sh*ts in front of him. Even in front of him.

"I am just so used of you want me to become something you like even if I don't," he started and that caught his father's attention. "My apology, Mr. Alvarez for I know my brother and I know how much he loves being in the military that is why, I was shocked when I heard it from you — that he wanted to become something more than a military."

"Put that in your mind, Naizen and never forget this, I have already spotted my eyes to someone that want him gone," his father said in a very low tone and enough for him to hear those words.

His eyes widened in curiosity as well as in shockness.

"What do you mean?" he asked. "Harry died in the bullet of the terrorist ABYSS."

His father nodded like he understand what he meant. However, while he was waiting for further explanation from his father's mouth, he get nothing when the old man tapped his shoulder and leave him stiffened.

He narrowed his eyes looking at the back of his father who just rambled his mind to thing of something he didn't even know where to start. What the f*ck?

He glanced his brother and then brought his eyes into the group of military standing in position for a military thing in the weak of their colleague, of theor officer. What does his father mean? Was he really meant for something?
