Revenge Not Already

The painful truth

A short message for Alona was sent a while ago...

The sound of the bell rang loud enough to all corners of the office space, indicating that work hours have ended. Alan tidied up all the documents on his desk. He packed up and got ready to go to west flores to meet his sister Alona. Just now Alan was standing from his chair, suddenly the door was knocked from outside his office.

"Lake in!" Alan's orders in a loud voice.

In two men brought a map with secret documents in their hands.

"Sir, I'd like to report the results of the investigation about Ms. Alona's background and the new evidence about Diana Maringka." Clearly Danu was a little hesitant.

Alan walked towards the sofa in the middle of his study. Simultaneously, Danu and Darto followed Alan's direction toward the sofa.

Alan sat on a sofa full of one person. Then he pointed his hand towards the long sofa in front of him and said, "please sit down..."

Danu and Darto sat down rilexs on the sofa. But they also cannot smile. They pretended to be calm to lighten the burden on his parents when they found out the contents of the report in his hands.

"Master, Alan. I hope you're not angry and can accept all this reality." Danu said worriedly.

"Just say, I'm ready!" Alan answered briefly.

Alan took a deep breath. He was very worried, and afraid of losing his brother. Maybe it can be said that he is not ready to accept the fact that his sister is not his sister.

"Mr Alan.., based on Miss Alona's DNA test results, it's not really her brother, sir."

Alan froze in his chair. His hands were trembling and his lips were paled and feeling cold. Alan propped his hands up to his temple with his elbows resting on the armrests of the sofa. While his body rests on the back of the sofa. Simultaneously, Alan raised his head, holding back the tears that slowly felt like they were about to fall.

"Master--" called Danu to wake Alan who was thinking hard to regulate his emotions.

"Continue.... Don't mind my feelings. It is very natural, everyone must feel the same" he said convincingly.

"Sir, we've confirmed that there were only two babies born on the same day."

Danu stopped again, looking towards Alan who already looked down.

Alan's current thoughts were really bad, worse than the deaths of his father and mother. Alan's mind was already split into thousands of branches, drifting carried by the air that felt claustrophobic and stuffy in the room.

Three days ago Alan opened his father's safe to search for the ownership papers of Raharaja Industry. Alan didn't expect to find her brother Alona's adoption papers.

Upon seeing the adoption letter, Alan's head felt like it was about to break. He was sad enough to lose his parents. But now he was faced with a reality that was complicated to explain.

At first, Alan did not want to care about the letter. But his heart and his feelings said something else. He must know and accept that fact, even if it feels bitter. At least he won't regret it later.

Alan is determined to hire a private detective to investigate all of that....

"Continue, I'll listen to everything." Alan said slightly softly after a few minutes his mind wandered in search of calmness.

"We found a note that the baby born on the same day as Ms. Alona died 2 days after her mother's death. We firmly believe that the baby was adopted by Mr. Ardhi to cover up Miss Alona's actual death." Danu.

"you mean? the baby who died was my brother. And, my father adopted a baby whose mother died to cover up the death of my sister Alona. Covering up all the truth, so that my mother wouldn't be sad. Then---, I get it.." replied Alan.

"Truly Sir. Mr. Ardhi adopted the child. Her name is Myrah Beverly Gunawan. She is the daughter of the Gunawan Group hospital owner. The reason why Miss Alona's deed was a biological child is because the baby was adopted only by the adoption letter from the consent of both parties but not legally."

Alan nodded his head. "Emmm I understand." Her speech.

"This man is the complete data of the Gunawan family. Miss Alona's real family. The original family had only one older brother, one older sister, and one uncle." Danu said.

Hearing Alan's original words grew increasingly lethargic.

"Okay, give it to me. I'll take care of the rest."

"Master.." call Darto a little trembling afraid his master is angry because his mood is not good.

"I-I want to pass on information about Diana."

"Just give it to me I'll read it myself. You can go." His order.

Alan flipped through every page of the secret document. It was all clear who his sister was from.

Basically Alan did not want to reveal that truth. But his heart said, he must meet his real family.

Alan can be selfish. But what if Alona finds out for herself later? maybe at that time he will not be able to give an explanation.

Alan sat in his chair. He went back to thinking, what should he do?

Meet the real family? then not allowing them to meet!? or the....

"I'll meet him. Anyway I have to thank the man who gave up his sister for my mother's happiness."

West Flores, 7pm.

Alan stood observing the house in front of him. He took a breath and exhaled slowly. Then he entered with definite steps.

Alona had been waiting for Alan long enough that his legs and butt had felt a tingling sensation several times sitting on the living room sofa.

When Alan arrived, Alona immediately scouted his sister. "Sister, I don't want to abort this child. I don't want to, Brother!" yelled Alona objecting while shedding tears.

"Alona.., listen to Brother first. Brother just wants you to go to Gunawan hospital to do a check up."

"Sister I don't want to, it's all just Big Brother's wits, isn't it?"

"Alona, Alona. Does Big Brother look like a bad guy?"

"Sister, I'll stay here. Don't wanna go there. He's my son with Alexander." Alona is staying.

Alan smiled and chuckled looking at his sister's cute face. "Alona, I will not abort your son. I already know about the boy. He's also my nephew."

Although at first Alan really wanted to abort the child. But Alexander came before he left. He explained everything.... About his beloved nephew.

Alona fell silent and wiped her tears. "Then, what does Big Brother mean? want to get me out of here"

Alan hugged Alona and patted her sister on the back. He also kissed Alona's forehead with all the affection and care, just like he used to. "Later Brother will explain to you when we get to okay." Alan exclaimed with a smile.

"Michael!" Call Alona surprised and in disbelief when watching the figure of Michael standing in front of the entrance of his house.

"Sir, why is Michael here?" Ask Alona.

Alan wanted to try to explain in more detail. Alona shook her head. "No, it's impossible. You must be kidding, right?"

"Alona's right she's your sister. I'm just Brother--"

Alan's words stopped. He couldn't continue. Alan turned his back to Alona.

Seeing that, Alona was increasingly unable to accept. Alona pulls her brother's hand and pulls the collar off her shirt. Alona screams hysterically. He was fighting and struggling. Every now and then Alona hits her sister's chest.

"Sister, you're lying. Tell me, brother? Don't make a drama, Alan?! You're My Brother. I saw my birth certificate. My mom and dad are the same as you. There is no written adoption. I'm father and mother's biological son."

Alan could only take a blow from his sister. He didn't feel any pain at all.

Michael walked closer to Alona. The next second, he pulled Alona into his arms and said. "Myrah, Myrah Beverly Gunawan. You're my brother." Michael lirih. "Sister doesn't have the right to see you, it's just that Alan gave you permission to see you."

"You're not my brother, just my brother Alan. Get the fuck out of here." Shouted Alona expel Michael.

"Alona you take it easy. Brother won't take you from your brother Alan. I've been so happy to see you after 18 years of our separation. Besides me you also have a sister. Name's Michelle. He's so synonymous with your attitude and behavior."

Alona's body slowly slumped to the floor. "Sister, Alan you don't want me anymore, do you? that's why you're looking for this guy to confess that he's my real brother." Alona said while pointing towards Michael.

Michael understands Alona's current state. Nor did he expect Alona to take it easy. Michael was happy to know his brother was in good health.

"Alona you don't get angry with Brother. Brother loves you very much too." Michael Yelled.

"Go!" Maki Alona again. "I don't have a sister like you."

"Alona Darling.., listen to Brother Alan yes. Brother has no intention. Your real family deserves to know that you've been fine with Brother all this time."

Aunt Ani and Doctor Risma did not dare to interfere in her Madam's affairs. They were silent in their own rooms.

Alona fell unconscious....

Alan immediately grabbed his sister's body. He took Alona into his room.

Alan stroked Alona's head and wiped away the tears on her cheek.

Alan grabbed his phone and made a call to Alexander. He can't shake his sister. The only way to contact Alexander. The man is her husband. Of course he'll persuade her. Alan knows for sure the nature of his brother when he loves someone, his sister will be devastated with the person he really loves. Alan could have persuaded his sister, but his heart and mind were not synchronized at this time.

"Go home now!" Alan's orders.

"Sister, Sorry. I'm having an impromptu meeting to launch a resort on the north coast of J." Answer Alexander.

"I'm going home, yes Alexander's. Are you more concerned with your job than your wife's health. Alona passed out, I was on west flores." He said with a tone getting higher.

"I'll be home soon! Sis. Please take care of Alona for a while before I come back." Alexander replied worriedly and afraid that something fatal had happened to his wife.

When the phone connection died Alexander immediately ordered to continue the meeting in his absence. "Rudy's watching all the meetings tonight. And, make sure the camera records light up. I'll play the video when I get to my wife's place."

Alexander immediately left the meeting room to west flores....

Bedroom, in west flores....

"Why are you, honey?" Alexander asked in a very soft tone on the edge of the mattress.

Alona was silent, occasionally the rest of her cries sounded very sad and devastated.

"Are you going to silence me like this? Alona's? I've passed 7 mountains, 7 springs, 7 time passes to meet you. Can you just shut me down?"

Alona threw a smile as Alexander's dreadful words flashed in his ear. Indeed only that man could make his heart melt at this moment.

"Alona we better listen to your brother and Michael's explanation. I know you have a hard time accepting this reality. If it were me, I would feel the same way as you. Right now you need to calm down. Brother Alan has promised to always be your brother. And Michael won't take you back."

Alona nodded her head.

"Can we get out now?" ask Alexander.

"Emmm.... I can hear everything."

Alona pointed her hands towards Alexander to be carried outside.

"Well beautiful Alona, your husband will carry you out.... Your husband will cover your pretty face. I know you're embarrassed, right? showing the face after crying in front of others."

*****

Michael and Alan sat on the couch. They just sat quietly without saying a word.

A few minutes later, Alexander took Alona out with him.

The four of them sat together on the sofa. Alona sat next to Alexander. She sat leaning on her husband's shoulder with her face covered with a cloth.

"Michael, tell me what happened at that moment?" Said Alan.

It was at Gunawan Hospital...

My mother died after giving birth to my sister Myrah Beverly Gunawan. My mother died from continuous bleeding after giving birth. His blood O negative is relatively rare, no one can donate blood for him, it just so happens that all the hospital stock is not there, so my mother died from lack of blood. My father died one month before my mother gave birth. My father Torino Gunawan died of kidney failure.

My father owned Gunawan hospital. After he died the hospital leadership was given to my uncle Taryx Gunawan.

Uncle Taryx helped with all my mother's deliveries including yours.

I was 10 and my sister Michelle was 7 when my sister was born. Uncle Taryx had no wife and we were both little. Uncle said he felt sorry for failing to save one baby during his time in the hospital. Therefore uncle Taryx convinced us to give our sister Myrah for adoption. I strongly oppose Uncle Taryx's suggestion. I disagree, because uncle said we should not know the data of parents who will adopt Myrah. We also can't see him anymore.

With a heavy heart, I finally agreed to all uncle's suggestions. It all started when I saw my sister Myrah fighting incessantly after being lent to your mother. I asked the nurse who was calming my sister. He just said, Myrah beragis because he did not want to separate from the clutches of the mother who carried him in the ward of labor patients. At that moment my heart was tapped, I gave my sister because my sister Myrah wanted it herself. Yeah, she wanted it, and I had to hand my sister over to a family I didn't know about at all.

Uncle Taryx sent us overseas after Myrah was adopted...

"alona, Myself... I only want to see you once. I'm your brother too. Even though we met, I didn't know at the time. But every time I get close to you I always feel that you're so familiar. Maybe it's a bond between brother and sister. I'm not gonna take you back. I only want to be recognized once..." Michael lirih.

Everyone was silent, even the breathing sounds of the four people could be heard telling each other.

"Darling, how? Your brother Michael explained everything, he just wanted you to admit it once. Are you gonna take it?" Alexander asked softly.

Alan, Michael, Alexander, "....???"
