My Family's Gift
Envy

Once in the hospital, Kristin was immediately rushed to the IGD room, with a feeling that was not rue, I was forced to wait with in accompanied by a nice mas, he was my father's lawyer, he said, the goal here is to provide clarification to the doctor, if the doctor asks the reason why kristin got battered like that. And sure enough about 2 hours we waited at the door of the ER, there were 2 police officers approached us, as his hospital called them. Then Mas Bagus took them away to talk and left me alone.

Why did I just realize how stupid I was, how cold Kristin was with me because she probably felt jealous of all the attention from our parents. If I remember when I was 5 years old, he was so kind and always considerate of me, even he who took care of me more than his mother. But since I was 7 years old, or right after I was elected, his nature began to change to me, as if he was avoiding me and I didn't know what the reason was.

So upset, I hit my head with my hands so hard that it made me a little dizzy, I did not cry, and at this time I was not angry with my father, or maybe because my anger is more directed at myself. Why for 10 years I did not realize it and instead always blamed it for staying away from me, and I also stayed away from it.

Then not long after the doctor came out of the ER room...

"Mas Liam huh?. Your brother is fine, and will soon be transferred to the treatment room, we have to sew it up." said the doctor who left immediately.

After that I went to the administration to ask for a special room of one person, after which I waited until Kristin was moved. About half an hour later I was told that kristin had been transferred to the treatment room, I immediately approached her.

How limp I was when I entered his room, I saw his face covered by many bandages, which almost covered his entire face. I didn't expect father's punches and slaps to make his face like this. I sat next to him and stayed there for a long time without saying or doing anything.

Christin began to open his eyes...

he just kept silent without saying anything, as if his brain was trying to understand the current situation and remember what was before it happened, then he looked at me who was sitting next to his bed. Without saying anything he just looked at me who not long later, tears came dripping from the bolat of his eyes.

"sorry". I said slowly.

Hearing my words he immediately sobbed in tears.he continued to cry and still did not say a single word from his mouth. It took him quite a while until he started to calm down...

"maybe..if I die, there will be no one crying for me what else feels lost.

"means..sister forgets me".sout me with a faint smile.

"sister?.I forgot the last time you called me sister.

"maybe it's been 10 years.

"he is yes.it may have been 10 years.

Then for no apparent reason, we both laughed for no reason, as if we had been waiting for this moment for 10 years, where we could laugh together, as we used to do.

" i'm sorry liam. Brother has become the worst sister ever for you." he said.

"grandfather has always been the best brother for Liam, it's just that big brother didn't realize it". said with a smile.

"what the hell? so poetic so.." sautnya with an irritating face.

"gpp lah..want to say poetic or what, as long as I can have a rich brother brother brother brother.

Hearing my words he cried again, but not the sobbing cry like that, but the cry that was accompanied by a smile, painted so beautifully on his face.

"So, I don't want to leave the de.'s house." he said.

"hey? where to?" ask me.

"not sure yet, you don't live at home".

"Yaudah .. but later liam is looking for his place yes, period. " said I firmly.

"hmmm ok deh, if there can be a swimming pool yes" he joked.

"ok deh, the contract beside the river means" said I.

"yeeee.. it will get a bonus crocodile" he said.

We laughed so loosely, I really enjoyed every second of this moment, a moment where I could go back to talking to her like this with her. We didn't even talk about the events that made my sister like this.

Not long after, the good mas came to us, and said that you can go home after 5 days, I thanked him before letting him go.

After that I called Ai to ask if my sister could stay with her for a while, without telling her about today's events. Then Ai said she would ask her father or mother first for it.

And like her my sister also does not mind if it has to stay at Ai's house.

Long story short 5 days passed, I who was on a long school vacation only spent time with my brother in rash sick, and sometimes Ai also came to accompany me while visiting Kristin. And for permission to stay at Ai's house, Mr. gumelar and his wife allowed my brother to stay with them, without even asking for his reasons. But even during those 5 days, my father and mother did not come to visit at all, even my mother was angry with me because she did not go home and preferred to stay at the hospital, I also did not care about his tirade, and kept my brother company.

Then we went inside, and it was seen that Mr. Gum and his wife were waiting for us in the living room, but at 8 p.m, I also want to go home soon because I'm afraid to interrupt their break. But mr. gum stopped me, and said he wanted to talk to me first. Then he invited me to dududk on the back porch of his house.

"what your sister is so sure is your father, right?". asked the gum while lighting a cigarette.

"uh.. if that.". said I confused answer her.

"if that's true, I wouldn't be surprised because your father is just your father.

"being my father? what do you mean, sir?". I asked curiously.

"your father is known as a demon that resembles an angel.he always shows his angel side in public and shuts his demon side tightly... many cases of missing someone after looking for trouble with your father, even the police did not dare to investigate him and prefer other reasons to immediately close the case." he said.

Then I just kept quiet to hear his words, honestly I'm not surprised to hear that fact, because somehow he is my father, and I know how he is, I know how he is, he always tried to cover it up.

"Earlier then... There was a woman who worked for him, leaked the case of cheating his company to the authorities.but as you know, how powerful your father is, right?... not so long ago your father, who was meeting with me, got a phone call from a friend.. And he immediately took me to an unused warehouse, I don't even know why he took me at that time. Upon arriving, I saw a woman tied to a wooden chair with her mouth tied and your uncle standing behind her... without further ado your father immediately took the iron baseball bat that was provided by his men, and immediately beat the woman to unconsciousness, even knowing that he did not care about it and continued to beat the woman to the point that I could no longer recognize her face... when he turned to look at me", he said with a frightened face.

"what's up after him? what do you see?" ask me who is more curious..

"i could have sworn, for a moment I saw his eyes were dark red, as if his eyes were filled with blood, and at that time I realized that I did not mess with the man, or maybe that was the purpose of your father taking me there at that time... And in short, there was an engagement between you and Ai. But honestly I was quite relieved, after seeing you.

"what do you see from me?" ask me back.

"i just feel like you're different from your dad.

Then after our short conversation, I was allowed to go home because it was getting late, not forgetting I approached Ai and Kristin who were busy playing games together in the Console. I, who did not want to disturb their joy, decided not to reprimand them and went straight home.

Mr. gumelar told me to use one of his car saths, but I refused and preferred to take a taxi because I did not want to bother him further.

When I was in the taxi, I just kept quiet while looking out the window and thinking about kristin and Ai. Then I said in my mind.

"You father or whoever, even whatever it is. I'll protect the smiles of both of them, even though my life bets on it. I swear".

Once at home, I was directly in the omeli mother in the living room who like her had been waiting for my arrival, I just listened to her without replying to a single word of her. Even throughout his scolding, he did not mention brother at all, nor asked where he was. Like her they really don't care about kristin.

After tired of nagging me, my mother went back to her room, and I who barely listened to most of her nagging decided to go to her room and rest.

I just wanted to close my eyes, I got a phone call, which after I checked, was from Afif.

"LIIIAAMMMMMMM FOLLOW ME". Shouts on the phone.

"uh uh? ngapa dah. make a surprise". saut ku while rubbing the ears.

"i want to go to a location, still around Jakarta as well, you are in Jakarta right now.let's go.

"ga ! " answer me briefly.

"come on. I can't do it myself.

I'm sure if I keep resisting, he'll keep terrorizing me to come along, so I'd better follow him, because I'm actually also curious he wants to take me where.

"ok.. tomorrow I tell you the location.. bye". he said that immediately turned off the phone.

"lately it's like I've started to be surrounded by weird people.
