The writer lived with their older brother, who had successful businesses in the city center and a girlfriend he planned to marry. The brother would often drive the writer to work and back home, making life easier without a car.
One evening, the brother was late to pick up the writer, who decided to head home alone. However, the brother arrived, and the writer got into the car, noticing that he had been crying. The brother revealed that his girlfriend, Sharon, had left him.
Despite the writer's concerns about the brother's ability to drive, they proceeded with caution. The brother was drinking and driving, which led to a dangerous situation on Thika Road. The writer tried to intervene, but the brother swerved, causing a severe accident.
The writer woke up in the hospital with serious injuries, including broken ribs, arm, and leg. Sharon was present, informing the writer that their brother had died from his injuries sustained during the crash.
The writer felt overwhelming grief and anger towards Sharon, blaming her for the brother's death. The writer has never spoken to Sharon since the incident and struggles to come to terms with the loss of their brother.
The story highlights the devastating consequences of drunk driving and the lasting impact of loss on those left behind.
