Step Brothers
When my father remarried, I thought life would change a little. However, along with his newlywed wife, there were three of my brothers — who were so different in character that the house was no longer a home, but more like an orderly and noisy chaos park. The oldest is Samuel. He had a successful career and lived alone in an apartment, so he returned to visit him only when he was free. He never came empty-handed: every visit was always accompanied by a delivery point, a handmade dessert or snack, which often disappeared within minutes. Samuel has a perfect sense of humor — he's got a bad joke that makes people laugh. Dominica is second in line and happens to be in the same university as me. I recognize him: a strong body of exercise, a healthy skin from the sun, and a hairy, random hair, which makes him look like he's always spending more time outside. He often wears a white shirt, jeans, sneakers or school jacket, and throws his hands up and gives out confidence. His sense of sarcasm — whether he is a sharp comment about someone's cooking, a blood drop that points to obvious negligence, or a good tone for a brother — he can always maintain a serious face that is intact. The youngest was Axel, also in our college. Unlike Dominica, Axel is unexpectedly accessible. He was able to open a dialogue with almost anyone in a comfortable dress, with a smile that was easy and natural, with a sincere and friendly personality. You often see him at home helping to clean up, helping out with shopping bags, or inadvertently making everyone feel admitted and valued. When they moved in, the entire house was almost instantaneous: the refrigerator was never filled, the laundry basket somehow doubled and every room appeared to be occupied at any time, day and night. The house was always full of laughs, people were looking for missing objects, or there was another time when the bell was ringing -- because the food that had just been bought disappeared again.
