58. The Sorry That I Feel

"What did you study in, Hal?" Now a heavy voice changed Ethan who asked.

"Informatics technology, why?"

"Om there are plans to open a branch of the company here. I want you to hold on later."

"... Ha?"

Ethan spoke so casually that he almost choked on his food.

"Kok me?" He cried with an incredulous look.

The surprised gaze of the pair of red beads made the next to the middle-aged man's eyebrows raised in astonishment, "Why? You're a nephew om, it's natural that om love trust to hold the company om?"

"But I don't have any experience in business. Later if bankrupt, continue to be miserable how? Then turn me on, demand compensation. What did I pay him for? Sell kidney?"

Ethan couldn't help but laugh at Hali's panicked reply like that. So did Ken, feeling his sister's answer was so silly and exaggerated.

"Yeahofgod... Yeah, no, where would you say rich things like that? You can be the head of the IT field later. Or you can continue S2 later to learn to take care of business." Unmistakably.

Hali just nodded hearing that. It seemed like his reaction was indeed excessive thinking about the offer. Maybe if at that time he was old enough to continue his family business, he would not let go of the hard work that his father had pioneered from scratch.

But he instead sold it on the advice of his father's advisors and used it to survive until this very moment.

Not a bad ending actually, if not a little. Although everything must be lost just because of one psychopath. Really, he did not want to forgive that one creature.

"Udah is Hali, just accept it. Who knows abis being a big boss dapet mate right." Ken arrived. Under the table, Hali's leg immediately kicked his sister's leg. Not too hard, just to keep Ken quiet and keep the attitude in front of Ethan.

He thinks his sister's jokes are a little outrageous. Actually not really, only Hali is sensian. Ethan chuckles a little, this scene reminds him of his childhood with his older brother.

His gaze was now turned on Ken who was still eating while pouting slightly after what Hali had done to him earlier.

"If Ken? Where are you going tomorrow?" Hearing his name, the young man looked over. For a moment pausing his eating activities, seem to think for a moment.

"You make the campus anyway there is no view om, but I want to go to medical school. Let's just say that if Hali's brother or Typhoon's sick, I can take care of them later."

Reasons that may sound mild in people's ears. But believe me, there is a strong desire behind that word. For him who can only be a burden, his only joy will be to return the favor of his brother.

Hali smiled the day she heard his sister's words. "Tomorrow if I'm working, let me take care of the cost. You just learn to be a real doctor." Said Hali while stroking the gnash of his sister's head.

Ken immediately brushed off the hand that made his hair fall apart, "Huhh! Brother Hali is adorable! Don't worry about people's hair? " She was upset.

Crisp laughter filled the atmosphere of that patch of space. It's been a long time, since morning where everything's still fine. Cuddled in jest, spreading laughter like the present, before the tragedy took it all away, bringing endless gloom.

It was like being trapped in a dark passage without a single speck of light inside.

The memory always catapulted longing, although then presented sad.

From there they understand the meaning of life, as well as the wounds and happiness that come with it.

Ethan is saluted by their toughness. Growing up well even without the presence of a parent figure, but being able to face problems with adulthood and recover from sadness even though he knows it is not easy.

But one thing he doesn't know. They, too, grew up as individuals who were able to save suffering well. Hiding every solace they feel behind a smile and cheerfulness.

"Oh yeah, about the hurricane." Ethan's voice immediately attracted the brothers to turn their heads, with only one name called.

"Om is planning to transfer him to a larger hospital, which is more complete, what do you think?" Next later.

"Om doesn't know either. Later that afternoon I will discuss this with the doctor."

The corner of Ken's lips slowly dropped, his face suddenly clouded. That's not what he wanted to hear, but he knew that hope would not be that easy to bear sweet fruit. "Oh, so."

Seeing it makes Ethan grovel. Suddenly guilt approached the man. Even though he understood very well whatever concerns the condition of the Hurricane has become a sensitive chat for the two brothers.

His hand then stretched out, patting the young man's little black hair gently and stroking it gently.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been able to tell you the good news. I don't even know if this is the best or not. But om will continue to try and do anything for the healing of Taufan. So please, Ken believes the same?"

The golden and brown beads looked at each other. Able to read the sincerity implied there. It is not easy to trust a person who has not been present in his life for long.

But Ethan's gentle gaze that time seemed to hypnotize himself to believe the same thing Ethan believed. "Yes, Ken believes it." Hali smiled watching the interaction of the two. Like his worries that bothered him this final ending was meaningless.

Perhaps the presence of Ethan is the answer to all his complaints.

"Thank you, my family is very good. We never met. But don't know why, it's like I found my soul in me." Hali.

"Hey, don't do that. Om who should be apologizing for not seeing you guys in the first place. There must have been a lot of heavy things you've been through. Now you will be the dependents of om. So if you need anything do not hesitate to say the same om. Okay?"

Ethan smiled in satisfaction as his sentence was greeted with a small nod. Perhaps no one knew of the piling up regrets that ruled the silk-hearted man.

If only then he had directly adopted the three older siblings, it probably wouldn't have ended like this. The sentence still continues to ring, disturbing his day lately.

Well, that's just part of his regret. It's actually an old story, about Ethan and his wounds. It is also the line of fate that draws him into the pit of guilt.

It could be said he was a lucky man, or maybe not. 15 years he grew up like other normal children, complete with a father, mother and someone who always protected him.

But in this life there is no such thing as eternal, including happiness. There is a turning point where everything changes.

Her parents divorced. At that time he did not understand if divorce also meant separating himself from his brother. Ethan is finally brought back to his hometown in Australia, while his brother, with his father, survives.

Despite the distance, they are still connected, through messages that tell their stories. Cut the distance between them.

But destiny says something else.

He did not expect, the meeting a few years ago was the last time he saw the figure of his brother.

His biggest regret was not being able to deliver the once-so-close figure to his final resting place. At the same time, his mother was also very ill.

Ethan promises to visit his sister's grave after her mother's condition improves. But not until the promise was fulfilled, a year later the news of his father who died in the land of birth reached his ears. It also made his mother's condition deteriorate until finally exhaling his last breath on the same day.

Of course he was devastated, he even had time to end his life because of depression. Is there anything more painful in this world than to leave the rest of his family and live a life of kara?

Luckily he finds a companion alive who is able to pull him from the aisles of despair and start a new life with his small family.

And when he heard the news that the nephew had a serious problem, he immediately left all his work and booked a plane ticket at that time.

Previously he was not completely ignorant of his older siblings, but Tera - his cousin - assured everything would be fine. He will take care of Hali and her sisters.

But in fact there is never a plan that is fully in accordance with reality.

A story is long enough if it is carved in strands of words. But it's like that.

He did not want to regret it a second time. At least this is the way to remember the brother, and make amends for mistakes that he may have made before
