Marry me, Brother
The wounds of the past

"OKAY. I'll try. But if sister Ega refuses to meet you, I beg you to leave this place immediately," said Indhi with a little annoyance.

"Well," replied Sherly with a sad face.

Indhi then grabbed his phone, it was almost a break hours should Ega not be busy, Indhi then contact Ega. Indhi did not forget to activate the speaker mode so that the mother and child heard directly what Ega would say.

"Hallo darling. What was? You're okay, right?" ask Ega after the call is connected.

"Hallo brother. I'm fine, '' replied Indhi. "So, brother, I'm in the ER and Sherly's mom is here, can you come here to see her?"

"I'm busy, there's an operation soon," Ega refused quickly, Indhi glanced at Sherly's mother and the woman gave Indhi a code to persuade her husband.

"All right, brother, hope the operation is smooth. I closed yes. Love you." - Love you."

"Love you more wife."

Indhi turned off her phone, which of course made Sherly's mother furious.

"Why not be persuaded anyway," said Sherly's mother upset.

Indhi smiled mockingly, he stuffed his phone into his pocket and stared intently at the old woman who was still sitting on the gurney. "Please get out of here," he kicked out without caring about Naura's dislike.

"What kind of doctor expels his own patients. I will report this to the Hospital," threatened Naura for not receiving expulsion by Indhi.

"Just report it, pocket is not afraid. I'm not a Psychologist, either" said Indhi, not forgetting a syndirian he slipped in his sentence.

"You mean my mom's crazy? Insolent," Naura growled in disbelief.

"What's his name if it's not crazy. Pretending to be sick just to see my husband."

"Come on, we're out of here. We're looking for another way to meet sister Ega," Naura helps Sherly's mother get out of bed, the girl then stares intently at Indhi while holding Sherly's mother's arm. "Listen Ndi, I will make sure you regret having done disrespectful to my mother" he said again while threatening Indhi.

"You should also hear this Nau. Don't ever bother Ega again. Tell your mama not to bother my husband anymore!" gertak Indhi did not want to lose, such a sharp gaze made Naura a little afraid. The girl felt that if Indhi was not the Indhi that used to be, Indhi who was easily fooled and always gave in to others.

Without saying anything more, Naura immediately brought her mama out of the room, while Indhi just shook her head. "You haven't changed Nau at all" he murmured inwardly.

***

During the break Indhi ordered two boxes from a fast food restaurant, this afternoon she planned to eat with her husband. With a parcel containing food, Indhi went to her husband's room, her steps were so light and her face was radiant.

Upon arrival in the husband's room, Indhi immediately entered after being invited by the owner of the room.

"Honey," said Ega, the man was surprised to see the arrival of her husband. "What's wrong?" he asked with a smile, he got up from his seat and walked over to his wife.

"I just want to have lunch with my husband. Is brother busy?" indhi replied while showing the food he was carrying.

"I'm not busy." said Ega, he then grabbed the food that Indhi brought and took it to the sofa in the corner of his room.

"Isn't there an operation?" Indhi followed her husband and sat on the sofa.

"I lied. I know it must be that woman who forced you to call me, right?"

Indhi chuckled, he could not believe that Ega was just pretending to say there would be an operation. "Well, you guys are suitable to be the best actors," said Indhi while holding her smile.

"You guys?" reload Ega curious.

"If they come again, ignore them!"

"okay."

"Open your mouth," Ega said as she thrust food into Indhi's mouth, the woman immediately opened her mouth and accepted a bribe from her husband happily.

The couple then spent their lunch full of romance. They even feed each other until their food is gone.

After lunch, Indhi returned to the ER to complete her duties as a doctor.

Meanwhile, Sherly and Naura don't run out of ideas. They went to the receptionist and asked Ega's schedule on the grounds that they would consult health issues.

"Mama has guessed. Ega must have been lying about the surgery," Sherly's mom growled after learning that Ega didn't have an operation schedule and that she was in her police station.

Quickly, Sherly and Naura enroll in the poly where Ega is on duty. They really wanted to see Ega despite not knowing what things they would talk about.

After waiting for a while, it was finally time for Sherly's mom to check. Accompanied by Naura, he entered the room where Ega was on duty.

"Good day, there's a bus..." Ega did not continue his sentence, the man looked at the two women of different ages who were now standing in front of him. But a moment later, Ega tried professionally and put aside his personal problems.

"Please sit down" said Ega, pointing to the chair in front of him.

"Thank you brother," Naura replied with a smile, the two women then sat down before Ega.

"Can I help you?" ask Ega with a flat face, lying it feels if he is not angry with their arrival, especially Indhi had told me if they also met Indhi by pretending to be a patient.

"Mama just wants to see you Ga" Sherly's mom opened her voice, her face was sad.

"If there are no complaints, you can get out. There are many patients."

"Please listen to me for a second Ga" said Sherly.

"What should I hear? There seems to be nothing more we need to talk about" said Ega with a face that began to be upset, even his smile did not rise at all, when usually he was very friendly to his patients.

"Mama just wants to be close to you. What is wrong mama because she wants to be close to her own child" said Sherly with a sad face, no one knows if her sadness is just a play or if the woman is really sad.

"Kids?" repeat Ega with a sneering tone. "With mistress. My mother is only Pangestika's mother, the only mother I have!"

"But your mother is your mother. Mama who gave birth to you and brought you into this world," said Sherly's mother fiery, she did not accept because Ega always glorified her adoptive mother.

"Just because you gave birth to me, then do you have the right to abandon me and after years of guiltlessness you come back to see me and hope I acknowledge you as my biological mother? I never asked to be born to a selfish mother like you!" firmly Ega with hardened jaws, he recalled when he was left on the side of the road just like that. The pain and fear still lingered in his heart.

"Sister said so. In any case mama is my sister's mother" Naura interrupted in the middle of the tense conversation.

Ega glanced at Naura who was sitting next to Sherly's mother, she stared intently at the girl who had hurt Indhi in the past. "Group? Haha. Have you ever lived on the side of the road alone, fighting fear and naively looking for the existence of people who have thrown you away. Then foolishly hope that the one who has thrown you away will come to pick you up. No right? So who do you think is here? Me or the woman sitting next to you?"

Naura could not answer Ega's question, she did not feel what her stepbrother felt, but just by hearing Ega's story, only, Naura seemed to feel the suffering that Ega had experienced in the past.

"Well, we better go home. Sister Ega must be busy. Next time we come again to see Brother Ega," Naura persuaded her mother.

"Please get out of here before I call Security!"

SERIATE...
