Min bror har alltid varit en blyg pojke, redan sedan barnsben. Ingenting har riktigt förändrats med åren. I skolan hade han knappt några vänner alls, trots att Emil som han heter var riktigt snäll. På grund av sin blyga natur lyckades han heller aldrig träffa flickor på riktigt. På universitetet var hans studiegrupp bara killar. Tjejen han tyckte om började istället träffa någon annan, eftersom Emil helt enkelt aldrig vågade ta steget. Trots motgångarna i det privata gick det desto bättre för honom på jobbet.

Efter att ha tagit examen lyckades min bror få ett arbete, köpa en liten lägenhet i Göteborg och började hjälpa familjen ekonomiskt. Åren seglade förbi, men Emil verkade ändå aldrig hitta en vettig flicka. Jag försökte till och med presentera honom för kompisar till mig, men det ledde ingen vart. Alla tjejer sade i kör att det inte fanns något att prata om med Emil, även om han var trevlig och artig. Det fanns dock en flicka som lyckades vinna min brors hjärta. Emil var plötsligt bländande lycklig på ett sätt han aldrig varit förr.

Själv tänker jag att det är bättre att vara ensam än tillsammans med någon som han. Hans nya flickvän, som heter Svea, jobbar i en klädbutik och har två barn från ett tidigare äktenskap. Någon högskoleexamen har hon inte hon hyr bara ett litet rum i Majorna. Jag förstår inte alls varför min bror är med henne. När Emil presenterade sin utvalda för våra föräldrar, så blev mamma så chockad att hon nästan svimmade, och sedan bad hon Svea gå därifrån. Jag tycker synd om Emil ändå. Han var ensam så länge, och när han fann någon blev det ändå såhär. Emil vägrar lyssna på sina föräldrar. Kärleken är verkligen blind. Jag hoppas innerligt att min bror snart inser sitt misstag och lämnar Svea.

Hur kan jag egentligen övertyga honom?

Min bror har varit ensam så länge, och när han äntligen träffade en tjej visade det sig att hon inte var honom värdig.

Arriving at the Address, the Man Reached into His Jacket—But Instead of Money, Pulled Out a Knife and Demanded All Her Cash and for Her to Get Out of the Car… Kate and Little Sam Watched Alex Off on His Long Journey, Hoping His New Job in America Would Change Their Family’s Life for the Better Before His Flight, Alex Hugged Kate and Their Son Tight, Reassuring His Tearful Loved Ones: “Why say goodbye as if it’s forever, Katie? A year will fly by. I’ll call every day—you won’t have time to miss me! And don’t neglect my mum. Get together, go for walks. Look after yourselves and our four-legged protectors—don’t skip their vaccines. You see what loyal guardians they are,” he chuckled, giving their nervous dogs reassuring pats. The plane shimmered in the spring sun as it soared over Heathrow, gaining height and carrying their father far across the Atlantic—to a new life. Tall Kate, her son, and two dogs watched in silence as the silver jet disappeared. Ahead of them lay a whole year of waiting… Alex had worked nine years towards this moment. As a microbiologist, he felt triumphant—finally signing a contract with a prestigious American company, complete with a business-class ticket as a show of respect. He was headed for the States. It would be ten hours until he landed at JFK, but in his mind he was already there, at the doorstep of a new life, his mother, Kate, Sam, friends, and dogs left behind as if in another world. Kate huddled in a blanket, suddenly feeling how empty the house was without her husband. The dogs felt it too—loyal Duke, and little Whippet, once a stray Kate had rescued. Duke curled up at her feet, soulful eyes meeting hers; Whippet pressed against her side, trying to comfort. Sam sat quietly by himself, working through his own sadness. Kate thought, “Once the holidays come, I’ll take leave and we’ll visit my mother-in-law at her cottage…” Anne, Alex’s mum, lived across the city but visited every weekend, staying overnight, helping and supporting Kate. Together, they walked the dogs, took Sam to the theatre, sorted through moving plans, documents, and old photos. That summer, everyone moved to the country: working the garden, wandering the woods, swimming in the nearby stream. The dogs thrived with the space, rarely leaving their family’s side. Kate went back to work; Alex called more and more, sharing how much he missed them, marvelling at America, promising their future would be bright. That autumn he said he’d found a house, paid a deposit, and asked Kate to sell the flat and send the money; he also hoped his mother would sell the cottage—every penny was needed to buy the home abroad, debt-free. Kate’s flat sold instantly, furniture and piano included. The same buyer took Anne’s cottage too, the funds wired to Alex’s American account as agreed. On the night before moving, the dogs circled the luggage, whimpering and watching Kate keenly. For the first time, anxiety crept into her heart—and never left. After the move, Alex’s calls grew fewer—“busy with work, lots to do.” That winter, disaster struck: mass layoffs hit her research institute and Kate found herself jobless. Britain was in economic turmoil, pensions delayed, and new work felt impossible to find. Duke began to grow thin; food was running out. Anne suggested Kate take a dishwashing job, bringing home scraps for the dogs—Kate stood firm and went herself. Eventually, things improved: Duke gained weight, loyally meeting her each evening to help carry groceries upstairs. Then, while hefting a large urn at the café, Kate broke her arm. Anne suddenly fell ill—her heart was failing. Sam needed a new coat. Kate called Alex. He coldly replied that there was no money after buying the house, but he’d “try to send something.” Kate broke down in tears. Anne hugged her, whispering, “Don’t worry, love. We’ll survive this.” Even the dogs pressed close, as if they understood. A few days later, two hundred dollars arrived. It was swallowed immediately by medicine, food, and a winter coat for Sam. Kate packed her mink coat, her jewels, and headed to the pawnshop, knowing she’d never get them back. With the car, she brought home bags of dog food and groceries. No more money came. “I’ll drive a taxi,” she told Anne. Anne screamed, fainted from fear, but Kate stood firm. Duke leapt into the back seat, settling in as if knowing it was time to stick together. Night taxi work was surprisingly lucrative—one shift earned more than her previous monthly salary. On the next night’s shift, she picked up a respectable gentleman—her former boss. Stunned by her situation, he revealed he’d been searching for her for a week: he was opening a new non-profit, and needed her as his top specialist. He offered her a job and left his card. Kate drove home almost happy. Duke, hearing her upbeat voice, wagged ecstatically. On the way, she noticed a solitary man by the roadside. “Just a short hop,” he said. Kate agreed, hoping for a good fare. When they arrived, he opened the door, reached into his jacket… and instead of a wallet, out came a knife. Moments later, a piercing scream shattered the night—Duke, snarling, had launched himself at the attacker’s back, teeth digging in. Struggling to fend off the heavy dog, the man swung the knife madly but couldn’t shake himself free. Duke clamped onto the hand holding the blade, injured but relentless. As Kate saw the blood on her loyal dog, she forgot her broken arm and smashed the attacker in the face with her cast. The man tumbled out, dog attached. Kate dragged furious Duke back and sped away. That night, Whippet wouldn’t touch his food—he waited by the door, anxious. Silently, Kate cleaned Duke’s wound and fed him, then collapsed onto the sofa, hugging her steadfast protector. Whippet nestled beside her, laying his head on her leg. Life changed. No more counting pennies; with a promotion at work, Kate could finally afford a new car. Alex faded from their lives, calling only for major holidays, always inventing new excuses. Five years later, Anne passed away—her heart couldn’t take it. Her only son didn’t come to the funeral, nor did he offer help. Before she died, she signed the flat over to Kate. Months later, an insistent knock rattled the door. The dogs sprang up, rushing to the entrance. Sam opened it to find an impeccably dressed man, expensive briefcase in hand, beaming a false smile and arms spread for a hug. “Well, son—your father’s home!” he declared, like an actor on stage. “I’ve only ever had one father, and I don’t care to see a traitor. Mum!” the teenager snapped, cold. Kate approached. Duke and Whippet stood behind her like sentries. “What do you want?” she demanded. Digging into her handbag, she pulled out two crisp £100 notes and flicked them disdainfully at him. “Here. We repay our debts—unlike you. Traitor!” “This flat was my mother’s! It’s my inheritance! Out—now!” Alex shouted, raising his case as if to strike. But Duke lunged, knocking him down, ripping the sleeve from his designer coat and snapping his jaws threateningly close to the man’s nose. Not to be left out, Whippet shredded the other sleeve, growling fiercely. “Duke! Dukie! Don’t you remember your master?” Alex whimpered desperately. In response, Duke tore the second sleeve clean off. Kate said nothing more. She pulled her dogs away and shut the door—for good. P.S. Alex N. would never read these words. In August 1998, he died suddenly of a heart attack, never having met his new child in America. He was buried in Rock Creek Orthodox Cemetery, Washington, D.C.—no one from England came to say goodbye.
