" What truth do you mean?" The sound of sister Ega managed to make me and mother surprised.
" Sit down." Mother's orders to sister Ega.
Sister Ega complied and sat down next to mother while I was on the other side.
" Where did you get this?" Ask my mother to Ega.
" From home." Answer Ega briefly.
" When did Ega find him?"
" After Indhi's graduation day. Ega came home at that time because he wanted to ask mother, why did not mother come at the graduation ceremony Indhi."
" Have you read it?" Mother's voice was really very soft now.
" Hmm." Answer sister ega while nodding.
" What does the letter really mean is Ega?" Ask Brother Ega.
Mother grabbed both of Ega's arms and grasped them, a second later the mother sobbed and hugged Ega's sister tightly.
I am still waiting for an answer from my mother, I still hope that my answer is no, I continue to pray in my heart if this is not true and not the sister Ega in the letter.
" Did Ega remember something after reading this letter?"
" Ega had always been dreaming long before, Ega saw a boy crying by the roadside screaming for his mother."
" then?"
" That's just mom. Can I tell you now."
" Wouldn't you be mad at me?" Ask mother.
Brother Ega shook his head.
" It happened about 20 years ago, my mom and dad just got home from work. We went home early that day because we wanted to have dinner together. When we got home from the restaurant we saw a child sitting on the side of the road and he seemed to be confused. Your father stopped his car and approached the boy and then mom followed behind him. When we approached her, she was crying while hugging a bag and kept calling her mother. We kept asking the boy, but he didn't say anything until he was unconscious and we took him to the nearest hospital."
Mother paused her long sentence, adjusting her breathing which began to be irregular because it held back the emotional turmoil in her chest.
" After the boy realized we asked him again and we were all shocked when the boy asked us who he was. Doctors thought the boy had momentary amnesia due to being too shocked. We haven't given up and brought the boy to the police station. We were a little relieved when we found some clues from inside the bag that the boy was carrying. Inside the bag was a birth certificate and a wooden box containing several photos and a letter and in one of the photos there was an address behind it. Because it's the night that the police officer there told mom and dad to go home while the boy would be put in an orphanage until the police found the boy's parents."
" Mom objected to the police officer's proposal and I asked permission to take her home with us. After some time of negotiation we were finally allowed to take the child home on condition that we had to leave our identity card. We took her home that night. He had completely lost all his memories, not even he remembered his own name."
" A week later 2 police officers came to our house with a bag and wooden box belonging to the boy, they said they could not find the parents and asked us for permission to take them to the orphanage as they had planned. A week of caring for the child made the mother reluctant to let go, especially at that time we did not have children despite 10 years of marriage. Finally, the mother asked your father for permission to adopt the child and your father agreed immediately. We agreed to adopt the boy. Maybe God gave us a child in this way, even though it didn't come out of the mother's womb but the mother promised to take care of and love the child like our own. Tomorrow we will take care of everything necessary to adopt the child. After a long journey, the boy became our son. We gave a new identity to the child, including his name and year of birth. Your father was very happy at the time and he proudly named the boy Kevin Ega Irvantara."
I cried hearing the name of sister Ega come out of mother's mouth, I refused to believe in all of mother's stories. As much as it is possible that Brother Ega is not my biological brother, I really do not want to believe in all of this.
" Mom didn't change your date of birth, we just changed the year because we wanted to send you to elementary school. So I put her up a year younger than your real age so you can hang out with your friends later."
" I'm sorry Ega's mom. Forgive the mother who was too selfish and kept this a secret from you. Mother is too happy when she has you, especially after mother gave birth to your sister, mother is increasingly selfish and decided to close this secret meeting. I don't want to lose a mother's son, a mother's son's pride."
" Thank you mom." Said sister Ega and hugged the mother tightly.
" Imaksih has been heartened to take care of Ega and give all the best for Ega, forgive Ega for not being a filial child to mother."
" Did Ega know about this from the beginning?"
" Hmm, it's just that Ega didn't dare to ask mother, Ega chose to keep quiet and keep it a secret. Sorry Ega ma'am."
" Then go home, I miss you so much."
" Give Ega a little more time ma'am, Ega will go home after calming Ega's heart and mind. I can take Indhi home first."
" But brother, I want to be here with brother."
Brother Ega stood up and approached me then he knelt in front of me.
" Give brother time to be alone yes, brother promises to catch Indhi home after sister Ega calm down." He said while wiping the tears on my face.
" Sister won't leave us, will he? Brother remains Indhi's sister right?"
" Fool, of course I'm still your brother. Brother won't go anywhere because all you have is you."
Brother Ega hugged me tightly. I cried in the arms of Brother Ega, I still can't believe all this, I still hope everything is just a lie.
" Go to bed, tomorrow I'll take you home."
" Please promise to come home soon. Don't let me wait too long."
" Sister promised to be home soon." Said brother Ega while stroking my head.
I hugged Ega back. I want to let go of all the worries I feel. I don't have to worry about anything anymore because forever brother Ega is my brother, my dear brother.
