1605 Words
When Elena arrived at home the thunderstorm and rainfall had gone somehow so that Elena didn't ask him to come into her home other than she is living on the middle of a small town where people gossips on small matters. People even gossiping and making news of the things that Aryaman always dropping her on the middle of nights. She doesn't want to make any breaking news anymore. So that she gave her goodbye to Aryaman. when he left and vanished from the view then she headed inside the home. Rahul must be mad at her. Today the shift had delayed for one more hours. No matter how much she was late for home Rahul had always waited for her to have dinner with her together. But today there was hard rainfall, he must be afraid and did not have dinner, now thinking about all this she's feeling so much guilty. In this long life, he doesn't have anyone other than her but she even can't take good care of her. Her brother is with ASD ( Autism spectrum disorder is a neurological and developmental disorder that begins early in childhood and lasts throughout a person's life. It affects how a person acts and interacts with others, communicates, and learns. It includes what used to be known as Asperger syndrome and pervasive developmental disorders. People with ASD might have problems talking with you, or they might not look you in the eye when you talk to them. They may also have restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. They may spend a lot of time putting things in order, or they may say the same sentence again and again. They may often seem to be in their "own world." ) How will she fulfil the promise she had to give to her father. " Elena... Promise your dad, promise me... No matter how the situation is… You will never let anything happen to your brother. You will always protect him. No matter what you have to keep him safe. This is all I want at the last moment of my life. " That's what her father said to her. She can't be reckless from now. She has to be careful from the next time. Looking at Rahul's deeply sleeping in his room she thought of not to wake him up. So that she took a hot shower and had a cup of hot water to drink then went to sleep in her room. Next morning when Elena's eyes opened she saw an angry face is deeply looking at her sitting beside the bed. She suddenly got frightened with her blurry eyes seeing of the scene at this early morning but she had managed herself as well she knows that it couldn't be anyone else other than her brother Rahul. As soon as Rahul met the eyes of Elena he moved his eyes from hers then started saying repeatedly… " You got... got frightened with your brother Rahul's angry... angry appearance?? Then.. then think how much... How much more your brother must have frightened when his sister not had arrived safely.... safely at the late of night. Don't you have...have any consciousness?? How can you...you be so reckless? Even you didn't think of informing your only big brother!!... Hunn...your only elder brother!! How... How could you do such things?? " Elena got astonished by her brother's speech. He had never said such things before of worry about her. How could this kind of miracle happened!! " Bhaee ( Indian language sisters call their brother or elder brother as bhaee) did you said that you were worried about me?? I mean for your behen ??( in Indian language sister) " Rahul gets annoyed by her sister’s question. As he said in a more irritating way, " If not that then what...what what then?? I'm your elder brother...big elder brother. So it's my responsibility to be worried for you, to protect you...yes my responsibility. It's not good that a big brother always needs to depend...always depends on his sister. I am an adult...an adult, so I have to be a good big brother now. The doctor said these to me in the previous class of therapy happiness class. " No wonder it's having a good impact on her brother. The treatments are working. Even if her brother is twenty-nine years old, having that ASD mental illness from his childhood life, he never grew mentally from the age of seven or eight. But from that night of the accident, her brother's illness got to the worst points. He'd got very bad tempers and had those bad nightmares in the middle of nights. So that she let her brother take therapy classes. Then what about those nightmares of that night. She has to talk with the doctor. " Bhaee... Don't worry about me any further. I was fine, it's all that the night shift just had delayed for one more hour for heavy customers and workload. It won't happen again." Elena said with a smiling face to her brother. The doctor said him that he is the elder brother of the family, now he have to take some responsibilities, so he can't let his sister work so hard, he should do something for his sister. " No you can't..no... you can't work anymore. I am the elder one...the elder brother. And loads of responsibilities...all responsibility...of the family should be on my shoulder not a little girl like you..you're just twenty-one years old...just twenty-one...you just need to focus on your study...study hard from now on... Let brother work from now on and earn more money. " Rahul said with pride in his voice like an ideal elder brother. Elena got more shocked by listening to all what her brother has said. How could her brother change so much just in one day? No, maybe it's all the effects of the treatments. " Bhaee, I know you are the elder brother. But did you forgot about your therapy class?? If you will go for work then who will attend those classes?? Let's do it... First, let your little sister meet your Doctor teacher and I will ask him to make a schedule for you to work… How about it?? " Elena suggest her brother having a huge and delicate smile on her face. How could she let her brother work; when he'd severe illness. She has to talk with his Doctor what actually he'd injecting on his brother's mind. Rahul looked unhappy with this but somehow nodded his head after thinking about it and said... " Then hurry up.. Don't be a lazy ass... Let's go to the doctor teacher and ask him. I'm sure enough that he is going to support me for that. He will take your elder brother's side. " "Ohh… Okay... !! Then bhaee, just give your sister some time so that I can take a bath and later I'll make breakfast for us. After that, we'll go for your therapy happiness class. Is it sounds good?? " Rahul Listened to his sister what she has said... Not arguing anymore he simply headed out of her room. After bathe Elena changed into a set of jeans and a white full sleeve top, she always prefers a simple outfit which can give a cosy vibe and lovely warmth to her personality. After putting on her outfits she headed towards the kitchen to make some breakfast but there her brother had already prepared some chapatti of last night and jam. No wonder her brother is so much in hurry to go for a talk with the doctor. That means he was serious about the working topic earlier. She gave a thin smile to her brother and said: " bhaee...you are looking more handsome today on this striped shirt." Rahul always loves to wear striped shirts. His shirts are all stripping pattern with different colours. " Yes, yes. It looks good...very good on me. All doctors also said the same to me. it's your brother's...your elder brother's favourite one. Okay!! Don't talk anymore eat soon...hurry!!" Rahul said repeatedly. Elena had the breakfast which her brother prepared for them. Her brother is like her little brother she always took care of him but to be taken care of by him is the unexpected happiness which is giving warm to her heart. Having breakfast both siblings headed out of their home for the bus stop to wait for a bus's arrival. At the hospital, Elena got to know that it's normal that her brother wants to work. It will be good for him if he does some busy stuff and try to stand by himself. The doctor said to her that her brother is perfectly fine in his own way. Although he can't get over his ASD illness he can think what will be good for him as a child minded boy could think. " Doctor what about those nightmares?? Did my brother told you about that something?? " Asked Elena hopefully. " He is now in his better condition… But whenever we asked him something about that night he only kept nodding his head. Maybe he is afraid of something which we don't know. Anyway, we will try our best to know what is he hiding in his mind. You just need to stay calm and keep patience. " The doctor said with some consolation. Elena again got disappointed but she had given up on finding the truth of that night, now all she wants is to make her brother's life bite normal. But she has no idea that someone else also looking for that truth of night. And he is going to destroy the happy life of Elena which she is desiring for.
