C8 Along the road to a coincidental meeting

Evans Kurt tossed and turned in bed for a long time, the noise and loud cheers from his brother's fans downstairs barely allowed him a moment of sleep. Since he returned from his emergency rounds at the hospital tired and worn out, he thought he would be able to finally have some peace of mind to sleep through his weariness...He had to fill up for one of the absent doctors who had an emergency at home, but it seems all the rounds so far had taken a toll on him and he barely slept the other night too.

However, the current atmosphere at home now wouldn't be possible for the sleep he desperately needed to revitalize himself for his busy duty tomorrow at the hospital.

Evans turned to look at the time on his bedside table where the time read eleven-thirty, thirty minutes to midnight... his birthday! He had arrived long to catch some sleep yet he only kept tossing and turning, and the jubilations outside simply increased his fatigue.

Forgive my delay in this introduction.

Well, Eric Kurt the Superstar, and Evans Kurt who was currently a highly reputable doctor, and also at the peak of his profession, were both twin brothers born on the same day but only a minute difference in time. Evans was older than Eric by a minute, even though it's the most ridiculous news to Eric who wouldn't want to hear about that part, where his brother rules over him over a mere minute difference. He simply hated being the younger brother and always wished he was the older one instead, all these tantrums started in their early ages as kids growing up in their noble home of the Kurt Mansion!

However, both brothers grew up very close to each other, more like intimate friends than brothers.

Suddenly, a knock on Evans's door had him grumpily out of bed. He wondered who might be knocking on his door at this time, even though he never locks his door. On second thoughts, he remembered someone and then peeked through his door hole to check. It was indeed his mischievous brother by the door. Standing with both hands held behind him, lavishly groomed as if he was about to meet some important guests.

Evans finally moved to open the door to find out what his brother wants at this ungodly hour of the night. He was about to turn the doorknob to open the door when his mind struck on something and he looked towards the clock to check the time again.

Instead, a slow smile carved his sexy full lips which turned into a grin of satisfaction. He had figured out what his brother was about to do the moment he opens the door.

Therefore, Evans took steps back to bed and took a pillow for self-defense, then moved to open the door. The moment the door opened on the opposite side, a huge cake came running on Evans's face, but luckily, he had already thought fast so he covered his face with the pillow before any damage was done to his gorgeous face...then a face similar to his peeked to see whether his aim was a success, but the look of disappointment washed over Eric's face for missing his target.

"Aren't you tired of the same old tricks? I thought you might have grown over that by now." Evans uttered with a chuckle at his brother's grim face, since his plan to smear his face with a cake failed miserably.

As kids growing up, they used to do this all the time on their birthday Eve. But their Nanny often warned Evans during those times, in case he forgets. Then Eric will get mad at her for days, for blowing up his cover by telling Evans of his mischiefs.

"I just figured out I need another trick going forward, this seems to be worn-out and usually predicted easily." Eric replied with a frown on his face.

Both brothers were quiet for some time, as moments like these were often when their minds delve into their past and swept them down memory lane, over the thoughts of their Nanny.

These were mostly the times memories of her flowed through their minds non-stop. It was among the times they missed her more. Their naughty childhood days when their mischiefs and tantrums were only tolerated by the most beloved person to them which withstood the duration of time until they became teenagers.

A person who over the years was the closest they have come to know as a Mother figure...Nanny Rachel.

Rachel filled the empty spot of their deceased mother whom they lost during childbirth when she gave birth to them. Even though they still yearn for their real mother at times and misses her, it seemed Rachel took that spot for herself to love and care for them...a job she did dedicatedly. She was always present and a part of every good memory they ever had in their lives, as well as the sadness and sorrows, the fun above all, and the heartfelt moment they felt in her loving tender care as the heroine in their lives.

Nevertheless, as they grew up, things changed and their tastes in stuff also changed, but their Nanny never changed from her loving nature and knew them more than they even knew themselves...She knew when something was wrong and doesn't feel right. Simply from the expressions on their faces and always knew exactly what to do to lift their moods and make everything okay once again.

Once at school, when the twins were asked who their mother was or the person they loved the most in this world. As young kids, Rachel was the one who popped into their minds, so they drew her so beautifully in their excitement. They didn't forget how Rachel cherished that drawing as if it was the best present they had ever given her, which was more important than anything the world had ever known.

But one day, everything changed...Over!

They came back home from their prom festivities and she was gone, her room empty, with the special drawing they drew of her and gave her, torn to pieces and scattered on the floor.

It seemed all the memories of love and affection they shared with her simply vanished into thin air, like a mirage. As if never existed, when she shamelessly took money for all the years she had been with them until their final day...which marked the end of their life as teenagers. Rachel simply disappeared from the face of the earth, never seen, never heard.

"I know what you are thinking! It's better to forget about her...Since we lived well without her and will continue to do so." Eric informed his brother, whose chuckles a while ago completely vanished from his face.

"As if you aren't guilty of those same thoughts. All these years, She had been a vital presence in our life. We simply can't help it...especially on this day! But you are right! she is not worth our thoughts or time. Afterall, she was the one who turned her back on us when we needed her the most!" Evans added with a grim face fumed with anger.

"Well, let's forget about all the painful past and look toward a brighter future ahead...Happy birthday, brother!" Eric cleared his wandering thoughts and plastered a smile to wish his brother.

"Happy birthday to you too...younger brother." Evans teased with a chuckle at Eric's frown, he hated the 'younger' part, his brother said.

Therefore, Eric bent down to pick the ruined caked from the pillow and caught Evans unaware, as he smeared the entire cake on Evans's face. And his loud laughter was heard all the way to the hallway, while Evans was left fuming in his wake.

But Evans refused to give up and also took the smeared cake on his face towards his brother's face, and the humorous laughter on Eric's face a while ago turned so pitiful, as he begged his brother to stop, since he was well groomed to finally meet his enthusiastic fans. But Evans doesn't seem to care and got nearer to smearing Eric's face when his phone suddenly rang.

"Today must be your lucky day..you are saved" Evans left his brother to attend to his call. It must be an emergency from the hospital.

"You better thank the caller, come on, go take care of your fans, they barely allowed me some sleep, from all their cheers and enthusiasm". Evans added before he punched the answer button to pick up the call. But not before Eric responded with a warning.

"I can guess it's a call from the hospital, but don't think you can miss my party, simply because you were called for some emergency." Eric called out and was ready to leave his brother to his call, when Evans covered the mouthpiece with his finger to reply to his brother's warning.

"Don't worry, I won't miss it even though I can make it late..." Evans shouted to inform Eric since he already left his room.

"Speak Sarah...what is the emergency? I thought I told you to call Doctor Fred or Isabella in case some emergency comes up!" Evans spoke into his phone.

Sarah stammered for some time before she found her voice to speak.

"I am aware you said that but, An emergency call was made to the hospital on the arrival of a seriously injured patient on the way. And it seemed like a hard blow to the head which might affect his brain...He had lost a lot of blood too, and his blood group in RH-. Dr. Fred and Dr. Isabella aren't picking up my calls so I had no other choice but to call you. The patient's blood group is rare and we don't have it in our blood bank." Sarah desperately reported without a moment pause to even catch her breath until she concluded her reports, which made her pause for a moment to continue, but Evans's voice interrupted.

"Okay...Get the operation room ready before the patient arrives. I am on my way!." Evan hung up the call to get ready to leave for the hospital in a hurry.

He changed out of his sleepwear into more comfortable clothes and hurry to leave, the time on his bedside table read 12:20 am. He came out of his room when he heard the background speech Eric was delivering in appreciation for all his Fans' affection and expressions of love, for the eagerness to spend a part of his special day with him.

Evans hurriedly left towards the other gate in his car, since the main gate was crowded with his brother's vibrant and energetic fans.

"Thank you all lovely fans for this amazing surprise to wish me on my birthday, I really appreciate it and love you all. Therefore, I am inviting all of you to my party in the evening, be sure to come in your numbers. Thank you all...Love you!" The loud cheers and screams when Eric surprisingly arrived before them were horrendous. And after his speech, a whole bunch of crazy fans broke through security to simply touch him, others only wanted to simply shake hands with him out of amazement and love. But the security team reacted in time before any harm was done to their dazzling Superstar, who couldn't help the crazy smile on his face from his fans' over-the-top crazy acts to reach and touch him.

Eric didn't realize the dazzlingly tempting killer smile he plastered on his face had knocked-out some fans out from extreme emotional disorder of too much love for his perfect killer smile.

But the security team finally escorted the Star back into his home after his speech, and his fans kept cheering and screaming non-stop. They didn't even care it was in the middle of the night and the lonely quiet streets of his neighborhood when their voice echoed throughout the entire place in their extreme merries.

Both brothers, Eric Kurt and Evans Kurt were a product of their father...Nicholas Kurt's first marriage with their deceased mother...Caroline Walker with the Kurt name after marriage. She died during the childbirth of the twins.

However, Due to the untimely loss of their mothers, both boys used to rarely celebrate their birthdays with much enthusiasm, since it was a day they also lost their mother.

But thanks to their Nanny's presence in their life, they overcome all the loneliness and pain from the loss of their mother. Even though their dad remarried another to take care of them...but she hated them as much as they too hated her.

Especially, when they compared their stepmother's nature to how Nanny Rachel treated them. During these days when their birthday was approaching. Both brothers remembered how much Rachel does to make sure this special day turned out the happiest for them over the past years. She was the only one who normally remembered their birthdays and prepared huge surprises in their wake throughout the day with fun and lots of excitement. From gifting them their amazing favorite toys as birthday presents, a day out in the fantasy world, as well as the amazingly tasty snacks she usually prepared for them and topping it up with the sweetest bedtime stories at night to complete their day. While their stepmother had always neglected them from the beginning. Her only sole purpose was their dad's wealth, to live luxuriously. Moments when they hated her the most.
