Adam Fareez Yo.

I just added Adam Fareez Ismail on Facebook. My successor as chief slave to this household.

Lol.


I love him as much as I love Azad Fareez Ismail, well maybe slightly less seeing as he is less pleasing on the eyes, but yes, I love him second most to Azad. I've always felt this burning vow to keep my brothers safe and unharmed at all times. The protective instinct is so deeply ingrained inside me that I swear, I'm capable of biting your head off if you try to bully them, even if I can't do it for myself. It doesn't help that Adam's pretty much as absent-minded as me, making him the perfect target.. like me.

So much bitterness here. Fe-uh. Okay. So my brother behaves weird, talks weird, walks weird, dresses weird. But he has one hell of a brilliant mind. He made animations that had me grinning in appreciation for the sheer genius of it. He's creative. He's wishful. His command of English is sometimes better than mine, of which I grudgingly acknowledge and respect. At night after both of us had read the Mind Our English column in Star Two, we'd discuss whatever catches our fancy. Like a cool-sounding word or phrase. We talk about games, movies. We even talk about Azad, like the indulgent elder siblings that we are.

No matter how much he has infuriated and provoked me into a frothing-at-the-mouth, screaming-the-house-down kind of sister, I'll miss him when I go to college on the 10th.
