DROWNING DESTINY

Chapter 10

His father's words didn't leave him alone. He was so bothered with it that he was just standing in the terrace looking at the nothingness once again thinking what was his father trying to say.

Gonzalo Alvarez barely talk to him in his calm voice. And when the time comes that they were able to talk with each other, he knew his father wasn't in the mood that he has something to deal with.

Naizen drank the alcohol he still has in the bottle he was holding. He then kind off losing his own mind with the fact that now he also seems he lost everything.

Harry was his favorite person and now that his brother was gone, he do not know who he could run into. Yeah, Ellen was there whom he treated like his sister but Ellen's life was more in a chaotic situation than his. He couldn't put Ellen into another chaotic situation and he would never.

"Naizen."

He looked back to see the person who called his name and then he saw the left fiance of his brother, Leticia.

"I was just helping my mind to work on," he said when he caught how Leticia's eyes landed into the bottle he was holding.

The woman smiled bitterly and walked straight towards the railing of their terrace to look at the view and breath deeply and sighed.

"If I only I was allowed to have that thing just to help my mind to work and atleast lessen the pain that your brother have given me," Leticia mumbled without even looking at him.

"What do you mean? Why are you not allowed to drink? Drinking moderately was never bad, Leticia. It would just help us lighten our head and lessen the weight of everything in our life — atleast for a moment," he said.

Leticia smiled and shoke her head. "Harry left me the most special gift a woman could have, Naizen. I have a little me or little Naizen in me."

Naizen's eyes widened upon hearing what Leticia said. He was so happy for Harry that he managed to give a precious life in this world before he passes away. On the other hand, he felt bad thinking that Harry won't be able to see how much his child would look like the woman of his dreams or look like him.

"Your pregnant," that wasn't a question. Leticia nodded and placed her palm in her small babu bump.

"Harry would surely be a great dad, Naizen. We all know how much of a good person your brother is, unfortunately, our fruit of love won't get to feel and experience how Harry shows his love."

That was what he meant in his thought. Naizen smiled bitterly and shut his eyes with it. He want to atleast glance Harry sleeping peacefully inside that box but he couldn't anymore.

His father's words really bothers him a lot and he was trying to dig deeper in his mind if by any chance he has a forgotten memory about him and his brother but he found nothing.

He just glanced Leticia who is now standing beside him looking at the nothingness and he knew the woman was crying in silent for she couldn't hide her small sniffles. He want to leave Leticia alone in here but he was afraid that she might do something out of her mind that is bad to her baby.

"I am so sorry of what you have to go through alone, Leticia," he said. "However, I know that despite of his absence personally, he will be guiding you spiritually. He loves you so damn much, Leticia. There wasn't a time that he didn't talk about you when we were always together," he added trying to lighten up the atmosphere and the feeling of Leticia.

"By the way," he heard her mumbled.

He then saw a piece of memory card in the hand of Leticia handling it to him. He took the tiny thing handed to him and looked at Leticia narrowing his eyes in question.

"What is this? Why are you giving this to me?" he asked and he really did sounds curious.

"I don't know. Harry managed to leave a text message to me, Naizen, and I just got to to read it yesterday. In his other text, he said that he has something hidden in our dresser that I need to give you and you will find it out by yourself," Leticia responded that made even more curious.

Harry said that he would find it out by himself? He then felt like there was something very important in this memory card.

"Let's go back inside, Leticia. You should stay with your parent, or mom or Ellen. They were all right there, it's not good for you to be here in the terrace it's dark and cold in here," he said for he was thinking of finding this thing out and he couldn't leave Leticia here alone.

The woman nodded and turned her back at him. He followed Leticia after drinking all the remaining alcohol in the bottle he didn't put down. He then go straight to the stairs going up and walked directly to his room.

Naizen never like wasting time when it comes to things like this, things that bothers him a lot. He immediately put the memory card in his phone he left on his bed to see what it has inside of it.

He knotted his head and narrowed his eyes as he saw only a video of his brother in this memory card. He took his earphone and connect it there making sure that no one was able to hear what was this video all about.

*"Hi brother, how are you? I know how hard you are but I also know how smooth you can be. By the moment you are watching this, I am already dead, Naizen. Either, you already have my body or I was all gone anywhere."*

Naizen immediately pauses the video and all. He was breathing deeply and faster after hearing what the heck his brother was saying. What does it mean? In a second, he just felt the anger getting alive in his chest. He then remembered how his father said some words to him. He clicked the play to continue watching the video.

*"I made this video to ask you to please take care of my family. Leticia didn't confirm it yet but I know she was bearing your future niece or nephew. Brother, I am afraid I couldn't go back home after this. Please take care of them as well mom and dad. Don't do things you don't like, Naizen. Always make sure that you are doing those things because you want it.*

He gasped when the video ended. He immediately scanned his phone if he would get a chance to find another video in any folder this memory card has but he failed. There was nothing anymore.

"What the hell was that, Harry?! Why did you just give me something of a puzzle that I need to know about?!" he angrily said and due to this anger, he couldn't hold himself that he did throw his phone in the wall.

He was panting looking at his phone fell down the floor he was certain can not be used again. Naizen gritted his teeth after having a thought about his brother's death. Was his father correct?
