Farewell, Father

One summer evening in Budapest, it was unusually quiet. Birds seemed to be not chirping nor any people on the street. It felt strange but I thought to myself... maybe I was thinking too much.

As I walked home from school, my friend Leah stopped me and asked, "Can I come over to your house?" I answered, "Sure, my father will love to see you!"

As I stepped into the house, I was shocked! What happened? My friend Leah seemed to be shocked as well. All things were on the floor, picture frames shattered and my favorite peony flower pot was destroyed as well. My eyes were in tears and thought, father! As I ran into his bedroom, he was shot in the abdomen, stabbed multiple times in the abdomen. I cried out, "Dad! Why are you like this? Let's go to the hospital, you're bleeding!" My father looked up to me and said, "Anna, I'm sorry. It's almost time for me to go...y-you are my precious little angel. I'm sorry I won't be able to see your smile again. I forgot to t-tell you, you have a younger brother. Please find him. Sorry I-I wasn't able to tell you. Hold this pendant, don't lose it." I shook my head, "No, dad. You are going to be fine, I already called the ambulance. Please, hang on! I love you dad I won't let anything happen to you." My dad said weakly, "Hold my hand, promise me you will be strong. Find your brother, he's been missing since ever since your mom died. Be careful. I love you, little angel." My father took his last breath and passed away in my arms. "Farewell, father. Thank you for your precious memories that I will forever remember. I promise to be strong. I will find my brother. Thank you, Father." As I hold his corpse, my friend, Leah said, "Anna, I'm sorry. You can live in my house if you need to for the time being."

The police just got here, my mind was blank, I didn't want to talk to anyone. I went to the police station and I got questioned. I got released early since they didn't find any evidence. I grabbed to the pendant and squeezed it hard. I will find my younger brother, there must be a reason why my parents didn't want me to know about my younger brother's disappearance. No matter what, brother... I will find you. I will revenge my father. As I cried my last tear, I made up my mind. I will get stronger. I will.
