I was travelling to Durham University to meet my brother, who is in his final year. Because of the COVID restrictions and lockdowns, I had not been able to meet my brother for a long time. In fact, for the last two years, we had not seen each other in person. I was dying to meet my brother and hug him, I am sure that he feels the same for me. Since our childhood, we were both inseparable. He is a year older than me. I am currently studying at a university in Edinburgh.

I have four semesters remaining in my degree. I am studying Zoology at The University of Edinburgh. My brother is doing his Master’s in Botany at Durham University. We both love nature and plants. We grew up on a country farm with cattle and livestock. So that’s why nature is a big part of our life. We are originally from the highlands, Inverness. At a very early age, I decided that I would do my doctorate in science, especially on animals. We had three cows on our farm and a dozen chickens. We also had goats, sheep, rabbits and geese. We also had 2 horses which I named after the Greek war leaders. One is called Leonidas and the other is Hercules. My personal favourite was Leonidas and I used to ride him on our farm and on the mountains. I planned a trip from my university, I was travelling late at night in order to reach there early in the morning. My brother, Desmond, did not know anything about my arrival there at the university. My exams were getting near and I had managed to take only a couple of days off from The Edinburgh University. But most of my time was going to be either on the road or in the air. But I wanted to spend as much time as possible with my brother. After reaching the airport I looked for a cab service on the internet.

I booked a cab from company because they had good reviews on the internet. The cab driver reached within the expected time of arrival and I did not have to wait for long, the cab driver appeared to be very efficient and educated. He greeted me with manners and asked for my bags to be placed in the trunk of the car. I booked a cab fromGatwick Airport to Durham University. I was getting excited by every passing moment and could not wait to meet my brother. Along the way, I had a really good talk with the cabby. We had a very light-hearted conversation and in the end, we both knew at least something about each other. After nearly a drive of four and a half hrs, we reached the university. I said my farewell to the cab driver and started walking toward the university. I then reached his room and he opened the door and got shocked. Wed me to his room.

With a surprised look and a smile, he said, “what are you doing here, Mark”. Getting acquainted with each other, after a couple of years, he then invited me into his room.
