Turning My Brother's Destiny into My Husband
CHAPTER 45 ~ Revealed ~

Ezra visits Radian after receiving word from an employee that the man collapsed in Leana's office.

What's he doing there? Is there a meeting schedule today? Nah! Why should I be surprised she met Leana? They are clearly husband and wife. It is natural that they meet. Radian has also made it clear that they will be together again. Perhaps there was an urgent matter until he had arrived early in the morning at Leana's office, inner Ezra while stepping hurriedly into the hospital room that had been told to him.

So rushed that he accidentally nudged a girl who claimed to know him. The girl wanted her to remember her old friends back in Junior High. But Ezra has no desire to reminisce. The goal of the hospital was to visit Radian.

There was no time to remember, I wanted to see Radian immediately, Inner Ezra.

"I'm sorry I forgot, I don't really remember my friends at Junior High. At least only certain people. After all I'm not much familiar with women, sorry I have to see someone," said Ezra with a sorry expression.

That was all he could say, he met the girl at an inopportune time. The man immediately stepped towards Radian's hospitalization. Ezra walked into the room, watching Radian still look weak and still closing his eyes. Shanty who was waiting for him felt surprised that someone had come to visit his son.

"I'm Ezra, I'm the head of the company where Radian works" Ezra said, extending his hand.

"Oh, Mr. Ezra, it's very nice of you to come see my son" Shanty replied respectfully.

"This is nothing Madam, Radian is my confidant, my best friend. I have to look at her situation, where maybe I ignored her. Although we have not been acquainted for a long time but I have felt close to him. He's the one who made me and my Daddy better again. Then ... how is Radian now, Madam?" ask Ezra.

"The doctor said he was dehydrated. It's because Radian lives so frugally that he can't get enough of his nutrition-"

"What's? Just because of that? If he runs out of money, I can give him or at least lend him. Why make it so hard on yourself?" ezra asked directly emotion considering what happened to Radian was trivial to him.

"Radians are closed people. He prefers to swallow his own suffering. All because of my fault. Radian's childhood went through without feeling the affection of his parents. Our family's hard finances keep me from thinking about my son's happiness. Every day is just a fight. Making Radian grow up to be a closed and poor child. I had never seen him smile before he knew his wife. Only he could carve a smile on Radian's lips. But now that they're separated, it's all because of my fault. I've been the one who's given my son grief all his life" Shanty said, sobbing.

Ezra bowed down, he himself was aware of Radian's nature. Ezra also regretted not often asking about the problem of the man he had considered like a brother. Ezra realized, Radian will not tell anything if not forced. It was unusual for him to talk about his wife while they were in New York City.

He did it to get close to me. He was willing to tell his wife until I trusted him and he managed to take me back to Indonesia. After all that, he was back covered even like keeping a distance from me, Inner Ezra.

"Radian is currently resting Sir, do I need to wake up?" shanty asks offering to wake up his son so they can meet.

"No Madam, Radian does need a break" said Ezra.

"He was lacking rest. He must get ready to go to work while people are still asleep in order to leave before sunrise-"

"What's? Why would he do that?" ask Ezra wonder.

"In order not to be late to your office, Radian has to walk to your office" replied Shanty, crying.

"Geez, why would he do that. Why was that the solution he had thought of?" ask Ezra.

"Because he's the one who won't ask. He would rather hide his difficulties than tell them. When we heard him cry, we asked him. It was also my fault, he gave us money to buy groceries while he himself did not eat for it. But now I won't let him hold his hunger anymore. I'll soon have money from my jewelry sale. I'm not going to let my son go hungry anymore" Shanty explained.

Ezra immediately scooped up all the cash in his wallet and handed it to Shanty. The woman was surprised to see Ezra's helping hand tucked away so much money.

"Take Madam, for a fee as long as Radian is treated. For hospital expenses do not think about, the company that will bear it-"

"But Radian hasn't even been working for a month at that company?" shanty asked wonder how the man in front of him was making sure Radian got a fee from the company.

"I will take care of that Madam, don't worry" said Ezra still extending his hand containing several hundred thousand pieces.

Shanty stared at the money, eager to receive the help of the fee but when he turned to his son, Shanty took it for fear of angering Radian.

"It's okay, ma'am, take it" said Ezra, finally grabbing Shanty's hand and putting the money in the mistress' palm.

"But I'm afraid Radian is angry, sir," Shanty said.

"Mrs didn't ask but I wanted to give. After all, she doesn't need to know that the madam got it from me" Ezra explained.

"That's impossible Sir, Radian must have asked where this money came from" Shanty said.

"If he's angry, tell him to face me. I'll explain it" said Ezra again.

Shanty was finally willing to accept the money from his son's superior.

"Ezra!" yelled Monica who just came.

Ezra was surprised to see the girl he had just met when he wanted to enter the hospital building.

"So you came to this hospital to see my brother?" ask Monica between disbelief and happiness.

"Sister? He's your brother?" ask Ezra.

"Oh, so …."

"You know each other?" ask Shanty.

"Yes Mommy, Ezra is the Chairman of OSIS at our Junior High School and I'm a member of Mommy's OSIS." Monica's story with great enthusiasm.

While Monica tells the story, Ezra was busy remembering who Monica was and what Monica was like.

"You used to instigate me to punish Livia for running around the field, didn't you?" ezra asked as if he was beginning to remember.

"Well, I asked you to keep punishing him because he didn't want to answer the reason he was late" Monica said, so happy that Ezra had started to remember him.

"Yes right you're that cruel girl, that student orientation committee. Ye know? I've felt regret for a lifetime because of your incitement. It turns out that Livia arrived late for helping the Vice Chairman of OSIS who was hit by a motorcycle. I owe him an apology until now. I just remembered you and your friends were hiding Livia's shoes. I wonder why you're so mean to her?" ezra asked with an annoyed face.

"Because I hate him, he's my half-sister. She should have obeyed me but what I found was that she was teasing a man I liked"

"What's? Just because of that you can betray your stepbrother. She ... she, wait a minute. Didn't Radian marry his half-sister?" ask Ezra.

Ezra slowly recalls what Radian said when he complained to him in New York.

~ She is my step-sister ~

~ Declared suicide ~

~ Suddenly appeared with a different face. Until my family did not recognize him. She fell in love with me again, until I married her. Unbeknownst to us he came back to take revenge against us, reclaiming all his father's possessions ~

Livia showed up with a different face? She appears as Leana? Inner Ezra

Ezra recalls what caused him to become interested in Leana.

~ I don't know many people like you. People who like to owe sorry ~

~ Let go of me? Or do you want to add to your debt? ~

I owe you an apology, well, I do owe Livia an apology. Leana, ..he reminded all that. He knows who I am. But you just shut up Livia. You and Radian have been deceiving me. You know I like Livia, but you're quiet. Tega once made me look for Livia when I had met her, Ezra's mind was furious.

He remembered it again when he returned to his homeland. The first thing he did was ask for Livia's home address in his Junior High School Administration section first. Once he gets it, the man immediately looks for Livia's address. But the truth is he did not find a girl named Livia in the house.

"Who's Bi?" a woman's voice came from inside the house.

Ezra looked inside, a beautiful woman walking casually down the stairs from the top floor of the house.

"Mistress's wrong address" replied the new servant at Mr.'s residence. Robert Chandra's.

"Oh," said the woman then passed to the inside.

"Sorry sir, there's no one here named Livia. Our lady was called Leana" said the maid, hoping that Ezra would leave the house immediately.

Believe it and not by the words of the servant of the house. Ezra is confident that the home address provided by SMP is Livia's true home address.

Is it possible that Livia has moved in, and that woman named Leana has bought her house? Ezra wondered.

Ezra has since desperately searched for Livia and a few days later met Leana in her office. Ezra seems to have seen it but Leana's attitude actually reminds him of Livia. Ezra was also interested in Leana.

Right, the woman who came down the stairs was Leana, I just remember now. Aye! The house is Livia's house and the woman who comes down the stairs is Leana who is actually Livia, the inner Ezra.

And today all those question marks have been revealed.

Ezra knew that the woman who came down from the top floor was actually Livia. And just remember now, if the woman he saw at that time was Leana who a few days later came to his office to discuss their company cooperation.

Ezra turned to Radian with a sharp eye.

You can lie to me Radian, you know I'm looking for Livia but you're just keeping quiet about the truth. What's your reason for all this? Why would you do this to me? Are you afraid I'm approaching him? Are you afraid of losing Livia? Since your household is being shaken, are you afraid that I will get her love? I let you go with Leana, for your happiness. But what is the reward of my sacrifice to you? You retaliated with lies, hypocrite! Alright Radian now I want to see, what now Livia will still survive loving you, inner Ezra screamed.

After staring intently at Radian, the man left just like that. Although Monica tried to call him but the male's ears seemed to have been covered by anger. Feeling fooled by those he trusted and loved.
