Nakamas Can Be Family
"
Before I came here and lived with you guys, I was in Aria but my parents were sick and in the infirmary.
They were very ill but were fighting it.
When I left for Earth, I thought they'd get better until..... a..... a few days ago." Izz said bursting into tears.
"What.... happened?
What news did you get?" Leah asked curious.
"That they'd passed away." he answered sadly.
She and David were shocked by that.
"So that's why you've been like this?
We never knew.
We're so sorry." she told him as she hugged him gently.
"Yes it was the reason I've been unhappy. I feel miserable, angry, depressed but guilty because I never said goodbye to them. I've been feeling lonely too." he answered softly. David didn't understand that.
"Why would you be feeling lonely?" he asked him.
"Because I have no family left." Izz replied sadly.
Tears welled in his eyes but felt Elisa hug him gently. "You're wrong brother. You do." she said softly.
He didn't understand what she was talking about.
"You mean....." he said to her.
She nodded smiling sadly.
He then fell asleeop. He needed to think but in his heart he knew what Elisa said was true.
Later Leah heard him talking to David and wondered what was going on.
"I know how it feels to be quiet. You know your parents are in your heart." he told Izz. He nodded in reply....
Elisa then watched as her brother fell asleep. She knew it would be hard but he would be strong enough to deal with it and return to himself.
It was one day at a time.......
