My Half-Brother Vanished After Dad Died—Then I Heard Mom Say “It’s Time To Tell Your…”

Dad died unexpectedly when I was 10. My 21-year-old half-brother, Faris, who wasn’t his biological son, looked completely unfazed. No tears. No shaken voice. Just quiet nods and distant eyes at the funeral.

Three days later, he packed a single suitcase and flew to Malaysia. Said he needed a change of scenery. That was it. I didn’t know what to think—was he grieving differently, or just heartless? Mom barely spoke about him after that.

We stayed in South Carolina, in the same creaky two-bedroom home. Life moved on. Mom threw herself into night shifts at the clinic. I got taller, angrier, more confused.
