"So-called brother".

Camilla kept looking at the entrance of the kitchen hoping Chris would walk through but he never did. She was worried.

Turning to her, mother Camilla asked, " Mom can I ask you something?".

Her mother nodded busy with the boiling sauce.

"Why did you invite Chris for?".

Noticing the hesitation in her mother's action Camilla worried even more.

" As I said at first, it's business and getting to know him better. Be seems to be interested in you so we need to make sure he has all the qualities "

Camilla chuckled, " That's all. I thought you were going to tell him to back off or threaten him with something "

But she was right her parents were going to do just that.

After lunch was done, Camilla and Chris with her parents drove off somewhere. He rode with Camilla while her parents rode there's.

"We need to stop somewhere first to buy flowers," she told Chris.

"Flowers?!"

"Yah for my little brother " she smiled.

Confused Chris watched as Camilla and her parents bought the flowers then drove off again.

He knew Camilla never had any brother so who was it they were going to see?

He realised later it was the cemetery, he followed her lead again and soon they were standing in front of a grave.

Her parents placed their flowers on the grave paying their respects then moved away giving Camilla and Chris a chance.

He wavered after he noticed the name on the gravestone, Camilla's so-called brother shared the same name as him. For a second turned his eyes to her parents noticing the wait on their faces as he saw the name.

"His brother, it's me again but this time I bought a friend too " Camilla pulled Chris closer.

He knew after the long time he had spent with her that she never had any dead brother so then who was this that her parents let him join.

"This is my brother, he was just a newborn when we lost him. I was in an accident so I don't remember much about him. But I usually visit him " Camilla whispered to Chris.

He bent down and placed his flowers on the grave. Lingering there for a few seconds then got up.

Camilla was asked by her father to go ahead with him so her mother could talk to Chris.

Chris stayed with her mother alone.

He didn't say anything and stood with her in front of the grave until she opened her mouth and said, " Have you told Camilla anything about her past?"

"No " he answered.

Her mother sighed, " Am telling you this cause I realized you have decided to come back in my daughter's life "

Chris felt his body tense up, what was it she wanted to say without Camilla being there.

"The reason why he has the same name as you is because he was the baby Camilla lost on the day of the accident ".

" WHAT?!" he felt his knees get weak dropping in front of the grave. Camilla's mother knelt next to him.

"He was the most important thing that Camilla lost. Apart from those useless memories about you, she lost a part of herself " she got up and walked away leaving him alone.
