A Blood bond

Ever since, I always have a strange feeling about there is something wrong with me, every time a walk by on that street I feel a pain in my chest here at my birth mark.

I never finish school since my father got an accident during his job, he broke his leg and according to the therapist, they can't tell how long will it takes to heal and recover permanently.

being first born, It is my obligation to support my family especially my cute little sister. My mom always tells me that I don't need to stop, since they can still send us to school, but I finally decided after I heard them on that night they were talking in a low voice.

father: what shall I do, we are running out of resources to send them both to school.

mother: (wiping her tears) our kids has a very excellent grades. Now what is the use? how will we possibly finance both of their study? (still wiping her tears)

my father is worried about our financial status because me and my sister are both outstanding in the class, it is my 4th year in highschool and I took an exam from famous university in the main city of the region, I got most high scores of the exam and they give me an 80% off for my tuition this comming school year.

when hearing them, I decide to go in front of my father and told him, "I will not going to continue my study anymore, I guess I already knew what I need to know in fact I'm old enough...." i haven't yet finish what I'm saying because my father swung his arm and slapped my so hard.

father: what a non-sense!!!, who do you think you are to decide? even if I need to go to our relatives and ask for money or beg on the streets, I will in able to provide what you both need for your study.

my sister's soft hand is stuck out of my swollen face that time. Before my father leave and go to our nearest relative he said, that young man has to continue to enter the college, if not he weren't be able to leave this depths of poverty.

my mother help my father put his crutches and leave.

my sister whisper at me and said " brother, please go to college, I already decided not to further my study.

the next day, before the dawn, I decided to.leave our home and I bring some worn-out clothes and a few loafs of bread. I went to my sisters room and left a note under her pillow.

"lil sis, you shouod continue your study and do your best, we knew that you are the most smart among your class, and you are smarter than me, I will find a job and send you money and mom.

I went to the Central and look for my classmate their, his father is working at the construction site near the school where my sister study. I ask him if he can allow me to work there as a helper and his father accepted me.

that time, I am only 16 years old, time.passed by so fast that my sister is entering the college now, with the money my father borrowed from our relatives and the money he collected from the city plus the money I've earned from carrying cement on my back at the constraction site, finally after 4 years we manage to send my sister to university college.

while I'm on the break at yhe construction site, I saw a lady with a blue butterfly hair clip, it seems all the girls in town wearing those, then while starring at the lady, suddenly i felt a burning feelings at my chest on the birth mark, then a flash of light came out of my sight.

It is like a flash back from the past, I saw that lady with the hair clip fall to a very shinny fountain accidentally and disappeared. Then I didn't know I just lost conciousness and when I woke up, my co-helper told me if I'm okay because I Fell down on the ground for a minute while we are eating.

I told my co-helper that I'm fine, then I thought it was just the heat of the sun why I lost conciousness.

after my shift at the construction site, I decided to go tonthe store where I can buy that kind of hair clip, I will give it to my sister.

I visited my sister to the dormitory where she staying for study, I knock the door, and her roommate came out, I told her to tell Lilia that someone from the village is looking for her, I didn't tell her roommate that I am her brother. Because of my appearance, and there's a possibility that what will they say or think if they know that I am Lilia's brother, I am covered with dust, cement and sand.
