#WritcoStoryPrompt58
Two siblings were inseparable when they were young but were threatened to wreck their relationship by envy, money, and luxury when they grew up. This started when there parents died,so they separated as one have to stay with Uncle who was staying in the City.Days , months,years passed without seeing each other ,only to exchange phone calls.One day things turned upside down as uncle's health was out of good.It was confirmed that he got cancer on his kidneys and it was unfortunate to be at serious stage.For the first weeks he was using life support at one of the best Hospital in that City,but unfortunately the virus never stopped instead it started to compose the whole body.Even the doctors calculated the only left for him on living Earth.
Within 2days Uncle passed away ,and the little man never let his brother to know about because he didn't want to share the left fortune as per uncle's will.So he ordered the funeral pallor to finish the job since the deceased was on one of the best funeral policy.He carried on with life as if nothing happened and he never stopped calling his twin brother,buying him things until he mat ladies of evil.

After months,the left twin got worried with the silence of the older brother, right away he packed his stuff heading to the city.He packed few things just to use on the way .At 0500hrs am ,he was already at the station waiting for the first bus and luckly in a moment he boarded the bus.
As a teenager he was with those head phones speakers playing Rumba music and a mixture of western,filled with joy that he's gonna meet his twin and uncle as he was longing for them.
After two hours,recess time,he boarded off the bus buying some wild fruits as a parcel for his Uncle not knowing he is nomore.
The journey continued until he reached the station.At that time he was so happy as he carry-out his parcels.Filled with happiness and echoes of longing as he craves his uncle long night charts,sharing jokes and all stuffs that can an uncle and grandson could share.
It's unfortunate that the boy joy got wrecked as he reached the Uncle's house,the first thing he head was a loud speaker of music,dramping all the yard,he got worried as he recall that his uncle wasn't a fun of full blast music.He kept walking until he faced the burial garden as he approach the house.With a wondering glare he saw a tombstone tittled his uncle's name as he step forward to just make sure.
without wasting time,he rushed inside as if he was part of that house for quite long ,without knocking he sprinded inside calling"malume""uncle"uncle"I'm here to see you and I have brought you your favourite wild fruits! The town twin got shocked as he ask "Hi twin what are you doing here"?,He replied "where is Uncle"?
By that time ,the looks of faces started to elucidate the garden view as both started to shed tears,"where is Uncle" he never stopped asking until he heard all details.
He cried ,why he wasn't informed and it was about 2yrs after funeral,the town twin couldn't split an word knowing what he did was wrong, feeling guilty that he was corrupted by money to an extent to hide such serious matter.
