He called me at 2:17am.
That alone was strange… my second big brother never called that late.
When I picked up, all I heard was breathing. Shaky. Uneven.
Then he said, “pray sister, please pray”The line went dead.
I tried calling back but the phone was already switched off.
At first, I was annoyed. Thought it was one of his emotional episodes again. I even went back to sleep.
That decision still haunts me.
By morning, my phone was flooded with missed calls.
My mother. My aunt. Unknown numbers.
Then the message came from my brother: "he's gone sister"
My heart skipped so fast like I was flying without wings..
Everything became blurry immediately..
I tried calling him back but he wasn't picking.. I called my mom, my dad ans even the unknown number but no one was answering..
My brain went blank immediately,I don't know who was gone but my heart can't stop beating so fast..
So I went to take my bath so I can go meet them at the hospital.
My eldest brother has been in the hospital for the past three weeks before that day..
Immediately I came out of the bathroom,I saw my brother with my cousin brother and my dad walking into the compound..
My legs crumbled at that moment,I was expecting anything but wasn't sure i was prepared for it..
My cousin came to me, held my hands and said " uju come, you have to be strong if I tell you this, big brother has passed away"
I screamed so hard that I wished that day never existed...
I saw my dad cried so hard like a baby, my other brother was crying like a little child too..
The pain was so deep that we all wished it was a dream..
I kept remembering That same night my second brother called me.
That same moment I chose sleep over staying on the phone.
I had hope that my eldest brother will come alive,I never thought the hospital will be his last place to take his last breath.
At the funeral, people kept saying things like, “God knows best.” “He’s in a better place.”
But all I could think was why it happened.
Weeks later, I listened to the last voicemail he left that same night he was gone.
It was only 11 seconds long.
“I just didn’t want to feel alone tonight"
He was like a father to me, we were very close but fate separated us.
