I still remember that day as fresh as it must have happened yesterday. I remember, I was ten years old that time and it was summer holidays at my school. All my friends were off to their hometown and I was left alone to boredom. I had my breakfast and came out hoping to find someone to get along with and bum out this boring day, but I was left with disappointment as the place was all deserted. I just sat down on the concrete shelf near my house and started scanning the place yet couldn't find anybody. I was getting edgy as to how I would spend this day all by myself. Then I heard some voices and looked back to find out a group of my seniors approaching towards me. Finding me all alone they asked me if I would be interested to join them as they were planning for a trekking to the nearby mountain. I was always fascinated and interested in outdoor activities rather than outdoor games and this was the reason I readily accepted to join them without giving a second thought and we started moving. I could feel the adrenaline rush in my blood as we moved ahead and started our trekking. I was jumping, shouting and screaming my name to hear the echo and I was delighted beyond measures to be a part of this trekking. Finally, we reached the top of the mountain, settled ourselves down and started enjoying the mesmeric beauty of the surroundings.

I was having a great time enjoying the beauty of mother nature when suddenly I was distracted by someone calling my name and here it was my brother with a furious look on his face and demanding to know from me of what I was doing here at this time of the day when I was supposed to be at home having my lunch. It was then I realized that I have lost the track of time during this trekking and it was already past 2 pm. It was strict rules for me to be at home at 1 pm to have my lunch. Then on the way back to our house, I asked my brother about the mood of mother with a throbbing heart and his reply made it all worse. Mom was ferocious at me and she had all the reasons to be. I was all tensed up and started thinking as what excuse I could possibly make to cool down mom even at least a little bit. My brother sensed that and told me not to worry. As soon as we opened the main door and entered, my mom looked at me with raging eyes and started approaching me, but suddenly my brother held my hand and took me to the other room and closed the door. When I gave a puzzled look and demanded to know what he is doing, he just hushed me and told me to make sounds as if I was being beaten by him. I was puzzled, as he just asked me to do whatever he says, and I started doing the same. I was making that beaten up sounds and added by saying, "oh brother, please don’t beat me, please forgive me this time and I won’t repeat that again". At the same time, I couldn't control my laugh as well and my brother was continuously asking me not to laugh as mom might know that it’s all a drama. Then after around 10 mins of this enactment my mom knocked the door, asked my brother to leave me. Brother’s plan seemed to have worked out now as mom was supporting me and asking my brother to stop beating me. We stopped what we had started and moved out of that room. I just went and hugged my mom immediately as I came out and started acting as if I was crying. Mom asked me not to cry anymore, calmed me down and gave me a glass of water to drink. I calmed down and looked at my brother; he just blinked at me without saying anything. At that moment I realized, I found a friend in my brother. A friend who will always be there to help me whenever I go out of options. My brother is really a precious gift I have received in my life.
