There he stood at the balcony staring at the big city in front of him, the wind of new years eve brushing against his skin. The music blaring loudly from inside as the party went on, the shouting and yelling of his brothers. Time seemed to move slow as the hands on the clock ticked slowly towards midnight.
He lost sense of how long he stood there, wondering about his life and how it became, everything was just surreal.
"10" a loud chorus of yells reached his ears, the countdown began as they headed towards a new year. January 1st the day of his birth and the day his mother died, he will always be haunted by that.
"9"
"8"
"7"
"6"
"5"
"4"
"3" he whispered along with his family, the people that adopted him and welcomed him with wide arms. He will forever be thankful to them, and indebted as well, he always wondered how to repay them but that was in the future, he needs to finish his studies first.
"2"
"1"
The city lit up in fireworks and cheers erupted everywhere, he looked at the sky and let a tear role down his cheek, he was grateful to be alive, to be born. This day is the day that not only marks a new year, a fresh start for many others but to him it marks the day of his existence and the day his mother sacrificed herself.
"Happy new year mom" he whispered to the heavens above, hoping that his mother would hear him. However his peace was soon interrupted as his brothers yelled to him, telling him to join them. Even if they were celebrating a new year, they were also celebrating the day their precious brother was bon.
He looked at the glass door and his brothers that stood inside, a huge grin forming on his freckled face. No matter how he would sometimes loathe his life, he couldn't be happier and he was determined to not let anyone take away this happiness, that was his New Years resolution and birthday wish.
