Before disembarking the plane he had just landed, Captain Edward Blair noticed a lone man on the plane who refused to leave. Upon looking clearly, he realized the man was his carbon copy. \u201cGood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is Captain Edward Blair speaking. We have just landed at the Chicago Midway International Airport. We hope you enjoyed your flight with us, and we wish to see you on one of your future flights,\u201d the captain spoke from the cockpit after successfully landing the aircraft. After parking the plane, the captain and his first officer followed protocol by waiting for all passengers to disembark before leaving the cockpit,\n
When it was their turn to leave, he opened the cockpit door and saw the flight purser talking to a man who refused to leave the plane.For illustration purposes only. | \u201cEverything good here?\u201d Edward asked, approaching them. The flight purser nodded. \u201cI\u2019ll give you guys some time,\u201d she smiled before walking towards the back of the plane. Edward was confused about why she wanted to leave him alone with the passenger until he realized what she meant. There stood a man who looked exactly like him. Before he could say anything, the man spoke. \u201cDo you want to see mom?\u201d he asked.\u201cI can\u2019t believe my eyes. Is it you, Adam? Did mom ever come back? She\u2019s alive and well?\u201d Edward replied, so many thoughts suddenly rushing to his head. Adam was Edward\u2019s twin brother, whom he hadn\u2019t seen in decades. Edward left the orphanage when he was eight, and they were now 32 years old. \u201cI asked you a question first. Do you want to see your mom?\u201d\n
Adam asked again with an impatient tone.Edward nodded, and Adam stepped out of the plane. Edward followed behind and the two of them got into a taxi heading towards the city.For illustration purposes only. On the way, Adam was silent the entire time. Meanwhile, Edward couldn\u2019t help but try and explain himself with tears in his eyes. \u201cWhen she left us at the orphanage, I really didn\u2019t think she\u2019d ever come back. I didn\u2019t want to get my hopes up. I understood that she couldn\u2019t feed us because dad left, but I thought she left us because a part of her wanted to leave us too. I didn\u2019t think she\u2019d ever come back, Adam,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo instead, you agreed to be adopted by a wealthy family. You chose them over ME! I begged you for days not to leave me in that place, but you chose to live a life of comfort over your own blood. She came back a year after you left, and she couldn\u2019t forgive herself for losing you,\u201d\n
Adam answered back. \u201cUp until today, she blames herself for not having enough to keep you. Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2013 I hate you. In fact, I hate you as much as I hate our father. I stopped looking for you years ago, but when I heard your name on that plane, I remembered mom and her wish to see you,\u201d he added with gritted teeth. After a couple of minutes, the taxi came to a stop. Adam got out and stormed towards an old house that surprised Edward. He realized that his brother and mother lived in poverty. Although Adam had a long-time girlfriend, he could not ask her to marry him because he spent most of his time working and caring for his sick mother. He\u2019s always wanted to settle down and start a family, but he felt indebted to his mom and wanted to make sure she lived the rest of her life comfortably.For illustration purposes only. | Source: Pexels As they entered the house, Edward immediately saw his mother, Annie, in a wheelchair, sitting in their living room. When she saw both her sons in the same room, she sobbed and could not calm down. \u201cOh my god, it\u2019s you, Edward. Adam, you and your brother are both here. You\u2019re back,\u201d she sobbed, bringing her wheelchair closer to her sons. \u201cHe\u2019s not back, mom. He just came to see you, but he\u2019ll be back in his mansion when the night ends,\u201d Adam said passively while pouring a glass of water for his mom to calm down. Edward didn\u2019t hesitate to walk toward his mom, hug her and beg for forgiveness. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry, mom. I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t believe you when you said you\u2019d come back for us. I wish you could forgive me,\u201d he cried. \u201cI don\u2019t blame you, son. I don\u2019t blame you at all. I am sorry for not being able to give you and Adam a good life from the beginning. I wish I could, but it was so difficult for me to find work.\n
I\u2019m sorry, sweetheart. I\u2019m so glad that you\u2019re here,\u201d his mother replied, stroking his hair as they embraced.\u201cWould you like to stay the night? We have a lot to catch up on. I\u2019d love for you to spend more time with us,\u201d she asked him. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, mom, but I have to go home tonight. I got a job in France, so my adoptive parents and I will be moving. The flight back home to Chicago was my last one here. I think it was meant to be that Adam was in the flight, as I got to see you,\u201d he explained. After hearing that his son was moving to Europe, Annie was heartbroken. \u201cYou\u2019re leaving?\u201d she said weakly. \u201cI wish we could have found each other sooner\u2026 I\u2019m sad that our time together was so short.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m sorry, mom. I will visit you as much as I can. I am sure I\u2019ll have flights to the US,\u201d Edward said, apologizing once more. \u201cStop getting her hopes up. She doesn\u2019t deserve to be heartbroken at her age. Get out!\u201d Adam retorted, realizing that his brother simply just wanted to see their mother but not build a connection with her.A couple of days after their encounter, Adam noticed a transportation service arrive in the house across from theirs, and men started loading furniture inside, along with appliances.\n
\u201cMom, it seems someone bought the house right in front of ours. We\u2019ll have new neighbors soon,\u201d he told her. Annie was delighted, as she had always wanted neighbors. She enjoyed baking and was looking to share her creations with other people. However, they were surprised when the man who followed shortly after, driving a luxury vehicle, turned out to be Edward. Adam and Annie opened their front door to confront him. \u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d Adam asked his brother. \u201cI spoke to my wife about what happened the other day, and we both realized that our home wasn\u2019t in France, but here. I turned down the job offer from the French airline and told my adoptive parents I wanted to relocate somewhere in Chicago instead. They understood and promised they\u2019d keep in touch while they enjoyed their retirement in Europe,\u201d Edward explained.\u201cI am sorry that I never got a chance to look for you, mom. I know I\u2019ve made many mistakes in the past, but I hope you give me a chance to prove to you that I am not a bad person and that I genuinely want to spend time with you. I want to reconnect with you too, Adam. We are brothers. I love you both, and I will prove just how much if you\u2019d let me,\u201d he added. Annie could not believe it, and she began to cry.\n
Edward introduced his wife Emma and young daughter Alex to Annie and Adam, warming their hearts. While Annie caught up with Alex and Emma, Adam and Edward had a good talk. \u201cI know you don\u2019t trust me at all, Adam, but please give me this chance to prove to you that I have good intentions for you and mom,\u201d he begged. \u201cI\u2019m willing to let go of my past issues for mom\u2019s sake. She looks happy, and that\u2019s all that matters to me,\u201d Adam admitted.The brothers caught up with one another, and Edward found out that Adam had a long-time girlfriend he wanted to marry. He volunteered to take care of their mother in the house next door while Adam worked on his own personal relationship. Edward had Adam\u2019s house repaired, and the renovations made it look good as new. Adam began to work on his personal life while Edward and his family cared for Annie next door. The family would get together every night for a good meal and conversation.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
