Beam's POV

"Hey. Stop It" I frantically exclaimed to my elder brother as he keeps on tickling me. "P'!.. ha. hahaha..." I tried to stop him but he's stronger. I continued to twitch and laugh. " haha. haha. P', Stop! haha. ha. Please!" I beg him. Then he stops.

"hahaha" This idiot laughs at me. "How come your home?" I ask him doubtingly. "I thought I don't have a brother anymore. No calls? No text? No Social Media?" I whined. Actually I missed him. I missed him a lot. I sulked.

"Sorry na baby Beam. Forgive P' na" He pleaded acting cute. Well we have good genes. But, I will not concede. He never called once. I was like living in a mess when i was all alone by myself. He uses his tantalizing smile. But that smile will not work on me today.

Then he hugged me. "I missed you too. P' is sorry. I have intensive training for my specialization. You also know, how hard it is to be a doctor."

I free myself from the hug. " I know." He is a doctor in our Grandfather's hospital.  "I know its hard, but can't you make a call once? You have still you're brother to care. Yeah. I'm an adult. But, P' can you at least call?" I nagged. I was so frustrated when he was away. It was the first time that he left me alone without notifying me.

Our Mom is not living with us. She lives in the province tending a charity hospital my Dad put up. Then, I cried. I sobbed hard sitting on the sofa. Letting my frustrations out. He hugged me again. Caressing my hair gently. I cried hard. Letting my tears flow in his shoulders. I know it may be disgusting for some for a guy in college crying hard. I don't care.

I am afraid of being alone. Even if I am most of the time but I know I have my brother. But, then my brother also left me.

I stand. "Sorry. I was just tired. You take your rest na P'" I told him. Then, I went to my room. I continued crying until I fall asleep.
