On the train this afternoon...
On the train this afternoon, I saw a pair of brothers sitting opposite me... I had my headphones on, but I could tell from the body language that they were very close. Even if they weren't related by blood, relationship wise, they are as good as brothers. The elder brother wore a TPJC PE shirt, I presume he's abt 18. The younger one, wore a primary school uniform. Initially, I was curious to see a TPJC student boarding the train ar Redhill, so I observed his interaction with the primary school kid next to him. With my headphones on, I had no idea what they were talking about. But the little boy was smiling so brightly that I knew it was not because of his bulging front teeth. He was enjoying the company of this elder brother. The elder brother was bending slightly to listen to his brother speak in the noisy train, devoting his attention to him. They must like each other alot. When they finally got 2 adjacent seats, the elder brother handed one side of his earpiece to his little brother. The little boy still smiling blissfully as if he's the happiest boy on the train. If not the entire train, he must be the happiest person in the crowded cabin. Kids, they're so easily satisfied.
Their sibling love is precious and rare. I wonder how they develop such close relationship. Looking at how the elder brother took care of his younger brother, (probably even went all the way from Tampines to Redhill to fetch his brother), how I wish I have someone like that for me too, or at least, hopefully I can be someone like that to someone too.
