A Soul On Paper

J.D.A.K CHAPTER 174.

After their hugs came off, the two sat next to each other on that long bench. Elkan shuffled Edward's hair like a child.

"When did you know that I was your sister?" elkan's lyrics with an intimidating look.

"Post the accident. At first, I couldn't believe the DNA test. Mama asked the doctor to repeat it again, maybe there was a mistake but it turns out the results remain the same."

"Mama was confused at first. But after knowing my blood type, Mama was convinced that I was Papa's son. Mama did not know that she was pregnant when she married her second husband." explained Edward as it is.

"If you know, why don't you ever look for me?" ask Elkan curiously.

"I looked for you once, but by then Papa was no longer in the world. I think it's useless, no one will believe me. Moreover, all this is Mama's fault, I dare not show my face in front of grandfather. Grandpa really hates Mama, Papa's departure is also because of her actions. That's why I chose to live with my grandmother in Surabaya." Edward explained honestly.

"What's your job there?" Elkan narrowed his eyes, he grew more and more curious about the life his sister lived.

"Open a small business, good enough to cost me the same grandma." replied Edward with his leisure.

Elkan again hit Edward on the head. "Stupid kid! If you had come to me earlier, I would never have let you suffer alone. You know that your brother inherited the Bramasta family fortune."

"Who said my life was hard? My money is enough, I never lack." replied Edward lightly.

Edward was never tempted by property, although in fact he was also entitled to the inheritance of the Bramasta family. For him to see his brother happy was more than enough. Moreover, he also knew that the inheritance not only fell into the hands of one Elkan but there was also Beno who got his rights as an adopted child.

Although all this time Edward was isolated in another city but he always monitored Elkan's life from a distance. He also knew who lived in the house and he also knew about his brother-in-law and two nephews.

That is what makes Edward increasingly distanced himself even though Elena has often told him to return to seize his rights as the second heir to the property of the Bramasta family.

In the middle of that serious conversation, the two of them gasped when they heard the sound of the door being pulled. Two doctors came out of the room, both of them stood up and approached the two doctors.

"Dok Night, how's my mom doing?" Edward asked immediately because he was worried about his mother's condition.

"Patients have complications. In addition to asthma, he also suffered from sinusitis and blood clots in the heart. Looks like the best way is to take surgery, even if the family allows." explains one of the doctors.

"Just do your best, Doc, the important thing is that my mother can be healed!" edward said with conviction.

"Alright, but the patient must be unlocked first. Under these circumstances, it would be very dangerous if forced. Wait one or two days, if possible, the operation will be done immediately" explained the doctor.

"As far as the doctor is concerned, the important thing is to do what is best for my mother. Anything usually doesn't matter to me" said Edward.

"All right, we'll try our best. Now let the patient rest in peace, he seems too stressed to drop like this."

After saying that, the two male doctors asked to leave and leave the place.

Edward sat back down and sighed heavily while squeezing his hair.

Elkan who saw it sat down and patted Edward on the shoulder. "You don't have to worry about this, I'll help you!"

"No, I can still handle it. Thanks for the attention." Edward didn't want to trouble Elkan. Elena is his responsibility.

Elkan frowned. "Do you still think of me as a stranger?"

"You're right, he did a lot of wrong things to me. Starting from leaving me, insulting my wife and family, even destroying my company. I hate him, I hate him so much. But despite all of that, she's still my mother. I can't just take my hands off."

Elkan lowered his ego slightly for the sake of the sister he had just met. Elkan did not want to make Edward misunderstand and stay away from him again. Elkan knew Edward was innocent, he was just a victim of the selfishness of a mother who thought too much about her world.

"It's late, Brother Elkan just go home! Let me accompany him!" Edward didn't want to trouble Elkan any longer. He knew Elkan's wife and son were waiting at home.

"But-"

"Sister, please! Brother should also think about his wife and children. They must be worried about Brother's situation, "cut Edward.

"Hm... You're right, my wife and my two children are now in the hotel. They must be lonely" Elkan the beards heeded Edward's words. "Yes, I'm going home first. If there's anything, call me!"

Elkan reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a wallet and then pulled the business card tucked inside and thrust it into Edward's hand. After that he grabbed Edward by the shoulder and patted him softly. "I go home first, tomorrow morning I'll be here again with your sister-in-law."

After Elkan disappeared from his sight, Edward leaned his back against the back of the chair. His head was facing the ceiling. At first glance his breath sounded messy.

Edward had no idea that Elkan would accept him this soon. Though so many wounds that Elena had incised against her eldest son. What is her brother's heart made of?

Then Edward got up from his seat and entered the room to see the state of the mother who was still lying weakly on the gurney with the help of some tools.

Half an hour later, Elkan's car drove into the hotel gate. Elkan parked it carelessly and got out of the car. A security guard ran and caught the key that Elkan had thrown at him.

Arriving at the lobby, Elkan gave the blood-soaked suit to an employee and asked him to wash the suit and continued his steps towards the elevator.

Arriving at the twenty-fifth floor, Elkan swung his feet towards the door of the room. Instantly his steps stopped when he caught the whereabouts of Beno who was still sitting on the front balcony. Elkan urung pressed the bell and chose to approach Beno.

"Tumben's not asleep?" Elkan bent his legs beside Beno and grabbed the red wine bottle that was on the table. After pouring it into the glass, Elkan gulped it down to the toilet.

"Dizziness," murmured Beno with his disheveled face.

"Why dizziness? Did your wife come to the moon too?" guess Elkan.

"So, ever since he got home from work this afternoon, he's been weird. Masa' said my face looks boring? Has he never loved me?" lirih Beno's.

"Don't be so prejudiced! Maybe he has a problem" said Elkan.

"What problems? As far as I know he's fine, am I expecting him too much? What if she asks for a divorce, what should I do?" terka Beno.

"Basic stupid! Where could he be like that, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. Get in your room, talk to him! If it's still hard, take him floating with you! After that everything will improve." explained Elkan.

"Are you sure?" Beno frowned.

"Just try if you don't believe, it's the most powerful weapon if I'm fighting with Yuna. Give him a satisfying serve, show him you're a great player!"

After saying that, Elkan pulled Beno's hand and led him towards the door of their adjoining room and pressed the bell simultaneously.

Seriate...
