II. Brother...Bother...Hater...Lover?!
After months of mourning, Jason had to tend all their family business. He had to pull off his profession to manage all their businesses. The main base of their architectural business was in Vancouver, Canada. He went there to personally handle all obligations.
He went to a nearby coffee shop, the Yellow Starbeaks to refresh. He wasn’t use to his new job. It’s frustrating. That is why he never took architecture during college. Though, he was good at designing as well as estimating the needed materials to accomplish a certain project.. He took a vocational course in architecture during his early college days.
He was sipping his coffee when a commotion was heard in a nearby pathway.
“GO AWAY!” a longhaired guy shouted.
“C’mon don’t be shy…I know you like it too!” a goon like guy replied.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” the guy rebutted.
Jason entered, “Hey, dude, stop that…”
The goon looked at Jason terribly “What are you a cop?”
“Nope but I know someone…wanna call him?” Jason caught his mobile phone and dialed something then the goon run away.
“Hey, dude, you okay?” Jason stretched his arms to help the guy up.
“Yah, thanks, dude…” The guy was pressing his nape when they caught each other’s eyes.
“E-Elliot?!” Jason was stunned. The guy just looked at him.
“Hey, dude, you talking to me?” the guy was puzzled. Jason impulsively hugged him tightly. Everyone now was looking at them. The longhaired guy was embarrassed.
“Look, dude, thanks for helping me but you must had mistaken me for someone else…jeez…how many homos are present in this world…argh…disgusting…” he pushed Jason hard and walk away.
Jason followed and tried to talk to him when a girl came and rushing towards the guy.
“AAAH…THERE YOU ARE ELY…I TOLD YOU NOT TO WONDER…I WAS DEAD WORRIED OF YOU…COME ON WE NEED TO GO BACK SOON, OR MY BROTHER WILL SMACK ME DOWN…” Then the girl hurled him in a limo.
“Ely?” Jason thought of himself.
---------------------
Jason could not forget the guy who looked like his brother. “Can it be possible that, that guy was my brother and he was pretending that he didn’t know me?” he thought.
“Naaah…he seems serious…then probably he was just a mirror image of my brother…” he sighed.
At his office, one of his assistant came in.
“Sir, here is our client Dr. Charlie White who wanted to discussed a business with you.” Then the assistant leaved.
“Good, morning, Dr. White…” Jason gave a business smile, stood, and gave a handshake, “…please be seated.”
“Thank you, with regards of the construction…I would like to have another building and a renovation on our hospital…could you give us the plan within a week?” the doctor asked.
“Yes, definitely…” Jason answered.
“Well, your company is in construction industry too, am I right?” Dr. White asked again.
“Yes, we do…why do you asked?” Jason asked a bit puzzled. They had a construction firm but it wasn’t famous as the leading firm in their country right now. It was only popular in America whom the usually clients were showbiz celebrities.
“Well, I am thinking that it would be easy if your company do both…the planning and the construction.” He said.
“Oh, that would be a pleasure to us, sir.” Jason said with a business smile.
“Well, then I’m expecting you next week to handle the plan…here’s our address.”
“Yes, that we’ll do first thing tomorrow morning for the estimation and other details. Thank very much and have a nice day.”
Jason called his assistant to accompany their client the way out as a respect.
Jason thought of sending someone else for the project but change his mind.

At the White Hope Hospital,
Ely the longhaired guy from before was under a large tree together with a girl.
“A…ap…ple…B-bb…box…argh…will we stop…my head is aching on this…” Ely complained.
“Shut up …it’s humiliating to have a boyfriend who could not read and even write!” the girl snarled.
“I don’t remember you being my girl-” he stopped when the girl run away a bit hurt. He sighed but having too much guilt he followed her.
Meanwhile, the car of Jason Vender arrived at the hospital. He was greeted by the staff congenially and proceeds at the owner’s office.
“Thank you very much…I never thought that the owner will be the one to do the hands on.” The doctor remarked happily.
“Yes, besides it’s a good thing to be familiarized in our area of business…” Jason chuckled. They went to the area for estimation when a girl shoved them.
“Wait a second young lady…” Dr. White said while pulling the girl, “…aren’t you going to apologize?”
“Oh, we had visitor?” she looked puzzled, “…I’m sorry mister…” after saying that she went off hastily.
“Sorry, for my sister’s rude behavior.” The doctor was embarrassed by his sister’s rude actions. Then someone was shouting, “SHAYNA…SHAYNA…WAIT UP….IM SORRY…I DIDN’T MEAN IT!!!” The guy banged them hard.
“Oops…sorry doc and whoever you are…I’m in a hurry…I’ll properly apologize later…” the guy said while running.
The two was aching.
Jason just remembered that guy was the guy before.

At the dining area,
The doctor invited Jason for a dinner to compensate from what had happen before.
The two quarreling idiots entered.
“Look, I said I’m sorry…I’m soooooooooorry…” Ely said trying to sooth the girl.
“Waaaaaaaaaah…brother…brother…Ely was sooooo mean…”
“Eeeeeeeeeek…don’t be a kid…Shayna…” Ely was sweating.
“Brother…he’s soooo mean he said…muff..hfff…” Ely covered her mouth.
“I said I LOVE HER! Imagine bro, she could not believe on that…hahaha!”
“Hff…mff…gff…” Shayna was glaring at him.
“Sorry, love” he kissed her. The girl blushed and forgot whatever she was trying to say before.
The doctor sighed, “Sigh…having two kids around was too…heavy for me…to think that they were in their early thirties…geez…”
Jason just stared at them while thinking, “…He wasn’t my brother…” He remembered the words Elliot said, “…I’ll never regret that I did love you…” He was lost at his thought when Ely approached him.
“Man, sorry about earlier…” Ely did not remember Jason. He wasn’t good at remembering things.
“Yeah, don’t mind it…”
“So you’re the one who contacted by my brother to build the place?” Shayna butted in.
“Wow…that would be great!” She exclaimed.
“Naaah…lousy…” Ely blurted out. Shayna smacked him.
“Your behavior, please! Geez…how could you not able to learn easily when you can say inappropriate words instantly!” She was scary. Her hair was rising, her fangs shows, and it seems that her nails were becoming claws.
“Eeeeck…are you really a human?” Ely was scared.
“You TWO STOPPED THAT…” Dr. White butted in.
“HAHAHA!” Jason laughed.
“The three looked at him.
Jason was embarrassed, “Uhm…sorry…I just remembered someone…so I…” the rest laughed.
--------------
The construction started.
Ely was usually sitting under a tree and studying or Shayna will kick his butt. Jason peeped in.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Jason asked.
“You blind? Studying…sheesh…how many morons are there in the world…” Ely acted annoyed to Jason when Shayna started to linger at him and abandon him. He’s jealous.
“I don’t remember doing bad at you…why’s having a cold shoulder?” Jason asked and now sitting beside him.
“Eeeeck…move away…you’re scaring me…” Ely the homophobic said.
“I’m not gay…so chill up…” Jason said.
“It’s not that…it’s just you’re making me feel uneasy I hate that feeling…move dude…move…”
They were two meters apart.
“Hey…I’m wondering…at your age you should have a work by now.” Jason said callously.
Ely got irritated and got off. “Mind your own business,…sucker!” he left. Shayna arrived, “Uhm…Mr. Jason, did you happen to see Ely?” she asked.
“Hey, I told you not to call me Mister it sounded too old…oh yeah I saw him went that way…” Jason said pointing at the left.
“Thank you.” She blushed.
“Uh, Sha…why are you looking for him…is something wrong?”
“Uhm…not really but it was his therapy…” she replied.
“Therapy? Was he sick?” Jason was confused because Ely wasn’t look like a sick person.
“Oh, he had an operation a year ago, removing his brain tumor…we thought that he will die but surprisingly he didn’t…though it hit all his vital corpus callosum inside his brain that resulted for his permanent amnesia…so he needed to learn everything from the beginning but to make sure…we given him a therapy every now and then…”
“Brain tumor?” Jason thought.
“Hey, is Ely his real name?” he asked.
“No…but big brother told me not to mention his name so we called him Ely…”
“Was he Elliot Vender?” he asked again the blood rushing over him expecting the answer would be yes.
“Yes, how’d you kn-” Jason ran before Shayna could asked another question.
He went at the office of Dr. White.
“Hey, Doctor, tell me who was that Ely dude!” Jason was hastily.
“Hey, Jay calm down…why are you asking?”
“JUST ANSWER ME!” he was glaring.
“Mr. Vender…you’re inside my place…a little respect…” Dr. White was angry, too.
“Sorry, I was just…”
“I know he was your brother…”
“WHAT?! Why didn’t you tell me from the beginning?” Jason started to flare up.
“It was an experiment…”
“WHAT?!”
“Yes…an experiment,…as you see he lost his memories…everything he had in the past…I thought that he might remember things through feelings which brains can never erase…but I was wrong coz there’s no tie between the two of you…he never felt any special towards you…his brother…”
Jason did not respond for a while.
“You must be joking right, we really don’t have any blood ties…we’re not really brothers…so how could you expect something like that might link us.” Jason smug him.
“He did tell me one time that he was in love with his brother…” Dr. White said. Long silence, the doctor continued, “…but I guess operation can change everything…he even falls for my sister…”
Jason leaved the room gloomily.

Forgotten
“Can I bring back yesterday when alls forgotten
Can I bring back the memories when things aren’t the same
Can I still have you when you couldn’t remember a thing?”
Can we be together when I am nothing inside your brain?
Can we start all over as if a new beginning
When you didn’t know me and no more caring?
(Jason Vender)
