Revenge Plan

Uncovered

Long time I was silent and continued to look at Serli's face, I again tried to ask to make sure whether or not the things expressed by Serli to me.

"So you mean, you suspect that the accident was a deliberate plot by someone to kill my family?" I ask to make sure,

"Yes, I am also suspicious of my parents especially for what they did to you and six months ago" Serli replied with a look of confidence,

"if that's all true I still can't believe why you told me all this, they're both your parents and I'm the one they hate, although I don't know why they arrived like this" I replied looking for a reason why he seemed to be siding with me,

"Arisha, did you forget we grew up together since childhood and I also spent more time with my grandmother, after all even though they were my parents if they were wrong how could I cover up let alone defend her" said Serli trying to convince me,

"But I still doubt you" replied I, who still felt suspicion for him,

"i know it must be hard for you to trust me, but I promise I will help you find out the truth, even if it's only my guess that I will find out more" said Serli, holding both hands tightly.

"i'll wait if you can prove it or not" I said as I let go of Serli's hand and left.

I climbed up the stairs and saw Serli who sauntered away from the house with a lethargic face, I actually know he's telling the truth but I still can't accept him because he's the son of an uncle and aunt who were the masterminds of the accident and the deaths of my parents, especially if everything Serli has said is true I will find it even harder to accept him to be my best friend or a part of my brother again.

"I'm sorry Serli, I can't accept you anymore at the moment" I said slowly and rushed back to the room to rest.

***********************

On the other hand Serli who had just returned to his residence he got a sharp gaze from both his parents and they seemed to hate Serli.

"Where did you come from?, just came home last night" asked his father in a high tone,

"i'm just walking along the street" Serli replied as he walked towards his room.

When he was about to enter the room Serli's hand was pulled very strongly by his own mother and dragged up to the living room right next to the sofa, Serli seemed to be silent and resigned as if he was used to receiving rough treatment from his own parents.

"From next month you have to work in a bar owned by a friend's mother, you have to work to make money, you know!!" shouted the mother while gripping firmly Serli's chin.

"ciiihhh, I wouldn't want to make money in such a dirty place, especially if it's for depraved humans like you!!" serli replied while splashing his spit towards his mother,

"basal son does not know himself, you should be grateful we want to adopt you and finance your life all this time, son of a bitch, plakkkk.." concluded the mother while slapping Serli's right cheek to leave a red mark.

They left Seri just like that after treating her so badly, while Serli stood up straight and only rubbed the cheek of a slap from the mother at a glance with his hand, and he just raised the corner of his lips and then went into the room, very clearly drawn grudge and hatred in the face of Serli on both adoptive parents, well apparently they are Serli's adoptive parents, he said, she was adopted in infancy because her mother gave birth to her out of wedlock, he was only cared for by his elderly grandmother until finally had to be adopted by a married couple who could not have children because of barrenness, serli initially thought they were his real parents until as he grew older their treatment grew more violent and always treated him like a maid, feeling strange with his own parents' treatment, Serli finds out all the truth and he finds a map containing his adoption papers a dozen years ago.

His father and adoptive mother, who knew Serli had known his true identity, became more and more so and continued to treat Serli at will, it was also what made Serli leave the house and look for the whereabouts of his biological grandmother until he managed to get his address, since then he decided to settle in his grandmother's house, from Junior High to High School, Serli lived with his grandmother until his grandmother died and exactly six months ago Serli was forced to return to a house that was like hell for him, because only with that could he connect life at least get a place to stay for a while.

Although Serli's arrival was initially welcomed by his adoptive parents, he was welcomed, but when they find out that Serli caught them messing with Arisha's family car they become so sensitive and always suspect Serli is unreasonable, they also always tell Serli to work and make money for them during these six months on the grounds to pay for Arisha's hospital fees, plus she is treated again like a maid in the house, she was rarely fed, once getting food was only leftover food from her parents.

Serli, who used to accept all this, he no longer cried or fell down, he just acted as usual and immediately treated his wounds, and then he cleaned all the clothes he had to leave the house, Serli got out of there quietly and he came back to Arisha's house in the middle of the night, Serli tau Arisha still hates him very much but he has no other purpose than Arisha he is the same as Arisha has no family and has to live suffering alone but the difference is Serli is used to getting all the suffering it had been since she was a teenager, but Arisha had only gotten it this time, so Serli thought it was only natural that Arisha hated her so much because she thought that she was conspiring with both of her adoptive parents, even Arisha does not know that Serli is not the biological child of his uncle and aunt.

Serli steeled himself and started pressing the bell and also knocked on Arisha's door. Arisha came out of her room and opened the door in annoyance.

Serli who saw Arisha open the door for her he immediately hugged Arisha tightly and subconsciously dropped the tears that he had been silent, so far, Arisha was startled and she tried to release Serli's embrace from her body but Serli hugged her so tightly that she could only give up and be silent.

"What a hell are you, let go of me! how long will you hold me in the middle of the door like this!" I said that I was getting upset,

"please trust me Arisha, I am not the same as them, I will explain everything about who I really am" Serli said with tears.

I couldn't bear to see Serli cry like that, plus he who was carrying a suitcase and a slap on his cheek made me think of a lot of questions, I also took her inside the house and gave her a glass of water to calm down, before it was very rare for me to see Serli cry, although we grew up together and were friends since childhood, but I know Serli always hid his difficulties from everyone different from me who always told him anything, I tried to ask but before I asked Serli had preceded me and told him all the events he had experienced that night at the home of his adoptive parents, he also told me about his secret all along.

Until unconscious I also cried hearing all the journey and suffering Serli went through, all this time I thought Serli chose to stay with his grandmother because he wanted to be independent and live spending time caring for his sick grandmother, but it turns out there is a sad story behind it all, I never even knew that Serli was not my cousin, but I would still consider him my brother.

I hugged Serli and cried with him I also apologized for what I had done to him before.

"Serli forgive me, I don't know you've been through a lot of hardship all this time, and I thank you for taking care of me when I was in the hospital" I said, hugging him tightly.

"Serli, from now on you will live with me, we are brothers and we will face all together, and do not keep anything from me anymore" I warned Serli,

"so now have you forgiven me?" ask Serli, please,

"of course I forgive me Serli" I replied with a smile of happiness.

That night I was happy at least I knew a big secret that was the reason why I had to trust my best friend completely, the uncle and aunt who were supposed to be the stopover place in lieu of father and mother would do all this to me, they even lied about my hospital fees, I was really sorry why I didn't trust Serli back then and hated him without giving him a chance to explain.

Since then I started the day with Serli, we kept working and getting money to pay the arrears on the pawnshop, Serli always helped me from helping me get a job to putting money aside to pay off my house, days passed peacefully, uncles and aunts who had earned a lot of money from cheating on me, they were busy poya poya and went on vacation to some places, I was upset because I had to get information on their happiness, I hated and increasingly grudging at them.

Right that morning I was about to go to the cafe where I worked as usual, I went on a motorcycle with Serli, I went, in the middle of the road I accidentally passed my aunt who looked so glamorous and used expensive items all over her body, she even still dared to greet us and stop me who was driving.

"Eh.eh...eh..stop! come here, look I'm rich now, hah you guys are even destitute like this so sorry, and you Serli just try you are still my daughter you won't suffer like that hahaha" he said he scorned me and Serli.

"Yes.yes, it's up to you killer!" I said annoyed and drove my motorcycle while I deliberately put it on a puddle of rain, so that it hit my aunt's expensive clothes and made her upset.

"Hahahaha, feel it's a bad man's base hahaha" I laughed with Serli at my aunt's annoyance while cleaning her dirty clothes.

I was so happy to be able to upset her, at least a little bit of my grudge was already channeled even though it was nothing more than what she had done to me and Serli before.

"Arisha.you shouldn't have done that to your aunt" said Serli, to my amazement,

"why can't he deserve something far from what I did" I said in amazement,

"if you avenge the bad guys with vengeance and evil it will only make you equal to them" said Serli.

I fell silent and nodded after hearing Serli's words, I realized I had changed a lot but all of my changes were because they made me have to be strong, they said, I cannot continue to be good and weak like Serli, because in fact the weak will only continue to be oppressed and get suffering, while I refuse to get suffering again.
