Marry me, Brother
Real identity

"Fine good." replied Mr. Hendarwan slowly. "Vin, there's something I want to tell you."

"Say pah?" said Ega.

"Well, please wake up Adit and Dita," asked Mr. Hendarwan to his wife, the woman nodded then approached her sleeping son and daughter-in-law.

"Dit, wake up," said mama Mayang while shaking the body of Doctor Aditya.

Doctor Aditya opened his eyes in shock. "Why mah?" tanyanya as she rubbed her eyes.

"Father wants to talk. Wake up your wife too.!"

Everyone has now circled Mr. Hendarwan's bed, but only Ega is the focus of the man who is still lying weakly on the bed. They wondered what important things would be conveyed by Mr. Hendarwan so as to gather them all.

"Vin, do you know anyone named Sherly?" asked Mr. Hendarwan to open his conversation.

Ega swallowed his saliva violently, the man recalled the woman who had abandoned him. "Why do you ask that?"

"Do you know him?" repeat, Mr. Hendarwan.

"Yes" answered Ega briefly.

"She knows this may be difficult for you, but Papah has to say it before it's too late" said Mr. Hendarwan and left everyone wondering.

"What would you really say?" urged Doctor Aditya who had almost died stood so curious.

"Vin, sorry that papah just dared to say it now. Actually, Sherly is papah's biological sister, the only sister who papah has," said Mr. Hendarwan, his confession is certainly not directly trusted by Ega.

"Haha, joking papah is not funny," Ega denied quickly.

"But your papah is serious Vin," said mama Mayang who has since chosen to be silent.

"Well, this isn't funny at all" said Ega, staring at the woman he thought was family.

"So you mean, Ega is your nephew?" ask mom Tika can't believe it.

"Truly ma'am" replied mama Mayang.

"A minute, a minute. What does all this mean?" doctor Aditya doesn't know anything.

Mr. Hendarwan took a deep breath and threw it away violently, his gaze focused on the ceiling of his treatment room.

"Ten years ago, Sherly was a very kind and very smart girl, she even followed in my footsteps to study medicine. Until Sherly gets to know a man and he starts to fall in love. But unfortunately Sherly's blind love makes the girl change. His academic grades were declining and Sherly dared to refute our parents. Up to a month before her graduation, Sherly took the man to our house and told her that if she was pregnant," Mr. Hendarwan paused his sentence, the man looked at Ega with teary eyes.

"Then what happened?" ask Indhi curious.

"Ten years later, my father died and my mother was eager to meet Sherly and the boy she believed to be her grandson. We've been trying to figure out Sherly's whereabouts, but when we found her, Sherly was no longer my sister I knew. She's married to another man. When I asked about her son's whereabouts, Sherly said she had thrown him away."

"Our search continues and now we're looking for the boy Sherly abandoned. The happy news came when we found the boy's whereabouts, but when we came and wanted to pick him up, we felt ashamed and inappropriate, while the boy seemed so happy with his new family."

"So from the beginning I was not wanted," said Ega Pilu, although his lips were smiling but his heart was broken, the past that he could slowly forget had to return in a match that left a new wound in his heart.

"Excuse me papah Vin, papah was helpless that time. Papah has no power to fight Papah's father. Papah regrets it so much for making you stranded."

Ega smiled, but his smile was full of pain. "Why are you telling me now? Why don't you keep this secret

forever? Why do you have to tell me the past that I've forgotten so hard?" Shouted Ega with clenched jaws, the veins on his neck were enough to be proof if the man was holding back his anger.

"Because Papah wants to die peacefully. Papah also wants to restore your rights as a granddaughter of the Syahputra family" replied Mr. Hendarwan.

"I'm sorry sir, but you need to remember I'm not part of your family!"

"Vin, we know we're very guilty. But your papah is trying to make up for all his mistakes by supporting you to become the great doctor you are today," said mama Mayang who actually made Ega confused.

"supporting? What does it mean to support me?" asked Ega with eyes glistening with anger.

"She secretly works with the campus to give you a scholarship until you graduate and become a doctor. Then papah also secretly recommended you to get a scholarship abroad so you became a great Surgeon like today?" mama Mayang.

It was as if sprinkled salt on top of his non-drying wound, that was how Ega felt right now. His hard work has been considered futile after hearing the phrase mama Mayang.

"So you mean I wouldn't be a doctor if it wasn't for your compassion" Ega said with a clenched hand.

"That's not what mama Vin means, ' denied mama Mayang quickly.

"So you want compensation because you managed to make my son a doctor? Tell me, how much did you spend supporting my son's education?" challenge Bu Tika with rage.

"That's not what we mean ma'am, I just want to tell you before it's too late" replied Mr. Hendarwan with a pias face.

"Darling, mother, take me out of this room!" Ega looked at Mr. Hendarwan with his wife and their son. "And for all of you, I don't need any support from you. Let's just say I died when I was 8."

Indhi pushed her husband's wheelchair and left the room quickly. Upon arrival in her treatment room, Ega immediately climbed onto the bed, and closed her eyes as if she were sleeping.

"Give him time, son" said Tika as she hugged her daughter's body

"But I'm so worried ma'am" Indhi said with a panicked face.

"You know Ega very well, you know that your husband is a wise man. Let's wait until the anger subsides, and then we'll talk."

SERIATE...
