Resti's car stops at the edge of the cliff, a confused Delista but keeps following her brother down. "Why are we here?"
"I want to tell you something"
"About what? can't we talk about this at home?"
Resti looked over, he crossed his arms. "Do you know why you're the only one who likes Seafood? Do you know why your blood type is different from your father's?"
"Maybe I'm following my mom"
"No. That's because you're not his real son!" resti's statement of success left Delista speechless. "We really can't be said to be half-brothers"
"Whatchu mean? I.don't understand. I.... I'm not father's biological child?"
"Yes, that's a fact." Resti held out a white hospital-stamped envelope, "Look, here's the DNA test result."
The girl took the white envelope and opened it. The look on his face turned pale, his hand squeezing the DNA letter. "Then? Why should I care about this? It's okay if I'm not his real son, but you and I are no different. I love both of us even if we're not his real children!"
A faint smile formed on Resti's face, "You and I are different. I'll forgive you if you're his real son. But, in fact, you're a pick-up boy!!"
"Resti!"
"Why? You mad? Competing with you pisses me off because I'm the one who always loses to you. Lose to the geek."
"I never felt like I was competing with you. I know you work hard for your life, but I have to work hard for mine too."
"You? What do you know about hard work? Just smile you can get what you want!"
"That's because you're too greedy!! It's not my fault if they choose me, you're just less grateful for what you've got. If only you could reduce your envy and spite, everyone would like you!"
"Shut up! What do you know about me! I don't need mercy from you!"
"Then, what do you want? You told me the facts about my birth. Are you happy?"
"I want you dead! GET YOU OUT OF MY LIFE!! Go far away! Don't come back home!" Delista was shocked to hear Resti's request, the girl's hatred towards him made her sick.
"Why? Why would you want that from me? We can fix this, don't let Mom and Dad down on you." Delista tried to calm Resti down.
The girl smiled cynically, "Which mother and father do you mean? They're my parents!! Go, meet your parents there in heaven. Ah, yes. Or do your parents not want you to live? They chose to take you to the parlor instead of taking care of you," Resti laughed mockingly, "Haha, at least I wasn't banished. Go, and don't come back, or I'll really kill you!" Resti took all of Delista's belongings out of his car, and without further ado he left Delista alone.
After Resti left, only Delista was left alone. Gleaner. Exile child. The unregarded child. That's how he is? What fate has been prepared for him?
******************
Resti arrived home, his return was welcomed by Hera and Gilang enthusiastically. But, the faces of the two were immediately astonished because the girl did not come home with Delista.
"Where is Delista?" Tanya said, "Didn't you go to the airport?"
"Dad, my goal wasn't to pick her up? Stop worrying, let him decide for himself to go home or not" replied Resti indifferently.
"I'll call him, '" Hera offered to call. "Maybe he's still....."
"Mom, stop pretending. I know it's Mother who's most grateful that Delista doesn't come home" Resti cut.
"Resti,,"
"If you call him, I'll kill myself!" Further
"RESTRICTION!!" Gilang.
"Resti know, Delista's not Dad's son. So stop worrying about it. Just me. I'm your only child!!" He doesn't want to be disputed though. Whatever happens, his decision is the most important one regarding Delista. In addition, he will obey the words of his father and mother.
Without the three of them noticing, there was the presence of others listening to their conversation. His clenched hands tightly signified his angry mood.
*************
On the other hand, Delista dragged the suitcase and the bag was lethargic. He had walked for more than 2 hours, but still had not seen any signs of passing riders. The girl reached into her pocket, the screen was clean without any notifications.
His eyes were bright, did his Father and Mother not care anymore? What mistake was it to be born into this world? Delista wiped her tears. Should he go home? Should he try it? Should he go back to pleading with Resti to accept it?
The girl sat down, her crying broke, "Ke...why is it like this.I want to go home..dad...mom...hiks...why Resti was so mean to me. What's my fault..." Delista roared in the middle of that desolate road.
**********
Seoul metropolitan police are busy in the CCTV room, Wildan along with several officers observing every corner screen of the city. Ryan was sitting in the car waiting. His hand grabbed a photo of Delista in flight attendant uniform.
"I can't lose you" he murmured
"Meet!!" an officer exclaimed, he managed to find the car that took Delista away.
"Where are they?"
************
Gilang glanced at his phone, then glanced back at Resti who was enjoying his dinner.
"Mother is delicious" Praise Resti
"really? My mother just tried. Eat a lot" said his mother enthusiastically. Resti's attitude seemed ordinary, as if Delista's absence was no big deal to him.
"Dad. Try this, it's really delicious!" said Resti, he gave a little side dish on his father's rice plate. Gilang nodded and enjoyed the side dish.
"I'm afraid my uniform won't work tomorrow, I can't stop my mouth!" heckled
"Eat as much as you do, don't hold it back" said Hera happily, seeing her daughter eating voraciously made her happy though, she knew that the husband was still worried about Delista.
"Resti," Gilang called his daughter
"Yes"
"Did you really not pick up Delista back at the airport?" Ask Gilang make sure.
'Bruck!'
Resti throws his chopsticks at the table, he loses his appetite when he hears a question from his father. "No, I didn't pick him up" he said flatly. "I'm done eating, thanks for the food. I'm going to sleep fast tonight, tomorrow I have to go on duty" the girl immediately moved from her place.
"Resti," Gilang again called his daughter, Resti stopped. "Dad never compares you to Delista at all, you are Daughter of Father and forever so is it. Please, let me call Delista" Pinta the man.
Without further ado Resti directly picked up the scissors around him and attached the sharp object to his neck.
"RESTRICTION!!!" Hera squealed in surprise.
"If, I love Mom. I am your only daughter. Don't mention the name of the little man in this house or you'll lose me!" threateningly, the girl pressed the end of the scissors deeper into her skin.
"Stop Resti!! All right, I'm not gonna call Delista, you're my only daughter. So, please throw out those scissors. Don't hurt yourself, son!" Said Gilang pleading, Resti immediately threw away the scissors as his father requested.
"I'm not going to hurt myself. It all depends on you Dad. If Dad mentioned his name in this house, I might actually stab myself!" resti replied coldly, he then turned around and went up to his room.
The tense atmosphere in the dining room slowly subsided, Hera looked at the husband, "I'm sorry, I can't teach my son properly. Losing the figure of a father may be a factor, where Resti does not want your affection to be divided. Trust me, Delista must be fine."
Gilang just fell silent not responding. Half his soul was lost, Delista who he had cared for since the age of 4 years was to leave because the half-brother who did not want his presence. He breathed heavily.
***************
The rain fell soaked Delista's body, he who already looked messy still trying to find a way out. The rain stubbing on his head slowly gave him a headache, he was cold, his HP was also dead now.
'Tiiiiitttttt!! Ciiitttt'
The sound of the car horn accompanied by tire friction due to sudden brakes, made Delista shocked. Slowly his body slid onto the asphalt, his eyes faintly seeing someone approaching him, hugging him tightly.
'Dad?'
"Call Doctor Erlangga! I'll take her home!"
Adryans.
The man carrying Delista's body into his car, he left all Delista's belongings and told Wildan to speed.
"Quick! Oh my god, it's so cold!" He covered the girl's body with his coat. At his master's request, Wildan stepped on the full gas pedal leaving the place.
1 Hour drive by Wildan for 39 minutes. Modern-style luxury house welcomes their arrival, as Ryan has ordered, Doctor Erlangga has arrived first at his residence.
"BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES! HURRY UP!" ryan's orders instantly made some of the maids go according to his orders.
Ryan took Delista to his room. He came out when his servant came with a change of clothes. After a few minutes, it was Doctor Erlangga's turn to work. The man stopped one of his servants.
"Go and buy some women's clothes and the inside" said Ryan, he gave his servant a black card, "Wil, take him. I'll be here waiting" the man nodded and immediately rushed off.
Ryan then followed Erlangga inside. Deslita's tiny face looks pale, waiting for her personal doctor to diagnose the woman.
"How is he doing?"
"His fever is high, I will prescribe a heat-lowering drug, and give him an infusion. Let him rest, he looks very tired.
"Nothing else?"
"So far no, if you're still worried, take it to the hospital tomorrow, I'll check it out in its entirety. Btw, who is he? She's wearing your airline stewardess uniform, is she one of your employees?"
"Picture it that way. Thanks for bothering me,"
"No problem. I'll take a shit first"
"Alright, my servant will escort you out" Erlangga nodded and followed one of Ryan's servants. After the doctor left, Ryan took his place on the side of the bed. He sighed. "It hasn't been 24 hours since our last meeting. You were still smiling while serving me this afternoon, why are you even like this now?"
**************
Resti approached his friends cheerfully. Today he is ready to meet the flight schedule to New York.
"Good morning!"
"Morning,"
"Resti, have you read the daily highlights today? This is big news!" Sherly one of the flight attendants of her level directly pointed her phone screen at Resti's face. "Isn't this Delista? She dated the President in Japan yesterday!"
Resti snatched Sherly's phone and read the news article. A photo showing Delista and Ryan laughing while making Ramen.
"The president is dating one of his stewards? Ahh, Paparazi is good at making articles." Sherly.
"May they really date? Last week, instead of Resti coming along but Sanjaya prefers Delista, I heard from the other flight attendants myself that it wasn't a coincidence." Clarish replied.
"Leave it, isn't this embarrassing? Delista should be careful. The name of the flight attendant can be smeared because of the act. Isn't it the job of the flight attendant to serve on the plane, not in the hotel room?" said Resti indifferently.
"Hotel Room?? Keep your word, if any journalist hears, this could be Hot news to publish!" Said Sherly quickly, hearing the reaction of his friends he just smiled cynically.
"That's it, let's go upstairs"
Not just for flight attendants and pilots. The news also went to the main livelihood, until it finally reached Ryan's ears. The man read the article that contained himself lazily.
"Clean this up, don't leave one. Tell the media it was just an accidental vacation" he told me.
"Are they going to believe that?" Wildan asked, Ryan sighed, "Alright, I'll arrange for you. By the way how's he doing?"Delista was still unconscious, his fever had indeed returned to normal, but not with his consciousness.
"You have a meeting with the Client at 11 and have lunch with them, then at 2 you must be in Singapore to attend the inauguration of the new building there, and lastly back in Korea having dinner with the Prime Minister" Wildan lays out Ryan's schedule today.
"Alright, call me the butler."
"I'm here, sir"
"When are you here? Ah, it's not that important. Please clean the front room. Design it according to what I asked for. All the stuff I ordered is coming in the afternoon, please arrange everything." His order
"Good, Master!"
"Room for Delista? You prepared a room for him?" Ask Wildan to make sure. "Ryan, you can't be this rash, we don't know if conditions are possible to stay here or not. I think you're making a decision too soon!"
Ryan's face turned flat, "If conditions don't allow it, I'll make it a must. Wait in the car, I'll get ready" Ryan said, not to be denied, he returned to his butler "If he regains consciousness, call me"
"Good, Master!"
***********
Gilang looked at the photo of himself and Delista when the girl was 4 years old. Her small photo successfully made the man smile.
"Where are you now? What Resti told you that you didn't want to contact your father, "Gilang's memory came back when he first found Delista.
#Flashback On
#21 Years ago
Gilang finds little Delista asleep on a park bench, after returning home from his office. The boy did not fall asleep because he was sleepy but fainted with fresh blood flowing from his head. At that time the economic situation was still bad, and he was desperate to bring Delista to the hospital. Operations that require a high enough cost to make Gilang overwhelmed begging for loans from colleagues. Although he had a lot to manage, making the little girl tam helped just made him like a murderer.
Delista's condition improved over time. He remembered nothing and called himself 'Dad'. The presence of Delista made his condition improve. Either it is the bearer of luck, or indeed it is time he succeeded, but the presence of Delista is very grateful.
Many times he sought information related to the missing child, but his face was not on the police search list at that time. Until finally Gilang decided to adopt Delista until now.
The jolly, clever and chatty girl has been gracing her days for the past 21 years. She herself was also confused by the girl's birth parents' decision, why leave the poor girl alone? Especially in such a critical situation?
#Flashback Off
"Come home, son" he said
****************
Hera raised her phone as her ringtone sounded. Phone from Resti.
"What's up, son?"
'I've arrived in New York, how's it going?'
"Everything's fine, your father hasn't come home from his office maybe soon," Hera put down her knife, "And the boy really doesn't come home anymore"
'Good,'
"Honestly, Mom, did you plan all this?" Ask Hera
'Yeah, I didn't dare set foot in the house again. Thankfully, that night I heard what Mom and Dad were talking about. Otherwise, maybe now I'm still taking a sedative every time I see that kid's face! why are you keeping this from me?'
"I just want your dad to keep completely trusting me, so it all happens without opening his mouth. You know for yourself, that your father loves him so much!"
'Ah, forget it. I'll take a break, Mom and Dad take care of your health. I'll close the phone'
"All right!"
The phone relationship was cut off, Hera liked her son's plan, now she only needs to focus on her son and husband. This is the family he wanted.
*****************
Elsewhere, Delista, who had fallen asleep for a long time, finally opened her eyes, slowly accumulating some of her life and trying to take a sitting position. His eyeballs surrounded the room in a luxurious design, his aching head he could still feel.
"In...where am I?"
The girl pushed the infusion out of the room, her steps limped down the hallway of the house. He has no memory of what happened. His steps led him down to the other room. Suddenly his gaze was blurry, his eyes twitching.....
'Sirv!!'
His body was shredded and grabbed one of the flower pots.
"Head maid!!" one of the servants exclaimed as he pointed at the weak girl. Victoria, the butler turned, and,
"Geez!!" Victoria rushed over. "Call the Ambulance fast!!"
Ryan who was enjoying his dinner was immediately approached by Wildan, the man whispered and made the look of his face change drastically.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"I'm sorry, if I'm not polite. Can I go now? I have urgent business." Pinta Ryan to the Prime Minister.
"No problem, our dinner's done, too. I just regret that we can't talk for long" he said softly.
"I'm sorry the prime minister"
"It's okay, go. They need you more"
"Thank you!" Ryan bowed respectfully then ran a little followed by Wildan from behind.
"How is he doing now?"
"The head waiter said they were running the whole test. Delista woke up and fell unconscious, worrying him and taking him straight to the Hospital!" Wildan
"Take me there!"
"Good!"
Ryan runs towards the VVIP room, finding Delista back asleep. Victoria and Erlangga faithfully waited in the room.
"What's going on?"
Erlangga approached Ryan, "Come with me, I'll explain to you"
Ryan complied and followed Erlangga into his room. "How is he doing?"
Erlangga did not answer, he showed the results of scanning Delista's brain. "It looks like Delista once had an operation on his head. I traced his name just in case, and right!" The man switched to another computer. "21 Years ago, August 27, 1999. Delista is being operated on here, his head hitting a hard object, like a wall?"
Ryan rubbed his head, "Then what now?"
"Little Delista, can't remember anything, neither can he now. He experienced retrogarade Amnesia, In this condition, the sufferer can not remember information or events in the past. This disorder can begin with a loss of newly formed memories, then continue with a longer memory loss, such as childhood memories. His psychological heavy blows can also have an effect" Erlangga explained
"others? Is there anything worse?"
"Nothing, everything's fine. His vitals are also back to normal now. You haven't told me anything about him. Who exactly is he?"
"Later you'll know for yourself. If there's anything I need to know, please let me know as soon as possible." Erlangga just nodded.
Ryan returned to the room where Delista was resting, his weak steps leading him closer. The girl was still sleeping quietly. Slowly he took Delista's hand and grabbed her.
"What did you do to his family first? Why are you so greedy? What is my fault, so that you have to bear the responsibility for your mistakes this is father.." said Ryan softly, he lowered his eyes.
Suddenly, he felt his head on elus. Ryan lifted his head, his eyes met Delista's gaze. Slowly, the girl's hand rubbed Ryan's cheek.
"Si..who are you?" tanyanya.
Ryan held the girl's hand softly. "Rest, tomorrow we'll talk." He patted Delista on the back, "I'll accompany you here" the girl understood and closed her eyes again.
***************
Resti stared blankly at the screen of his phone, there is still a number listed Delista. He nodded when his call received no response. That kid's dead. Once enough calls, he just wanted to make sure and then remove Delista's number from his phone.
"Should I do this to Dad?" muttered.
"RESTRICTION!!" The girl looked back, she went back to her friends. "Have you heard from Delista?" Ask Shely
Resti sipped his coffee, "No, why?
"Secretary Presdir, he contacted Sanjaya so as not to put Delista's name on the flight attendant list. What's the matter? Could Delista be fired?"
"Aiigh, that's impossible. Why he should be fired after VVIP service" Clarish replied
"Maybe it has something to do with the article"
"Can't we just talk about it for a day? Resti asked in a high tone, "Aren't you guys bored?"
"That's not what I'm thinking, it just feels so sudden."
Resti was silent without responding again, there was Delista, he was always a hot topic among flight attendants. What makes it so interesting?
**************
At the hospital, Ryan prepares a warm breakfast for Delista. Without saying a word. Delista was ready with a spoon in his hand. The chicken soup that Ryan brought made his stomach protest loudly.
"Slow down, it's still hot,"
"Thank you" the girl sipped a little chicken soup. "Hmm.this is delicious. Did you make it?"
"Eat, finish your meal without speaking" Ryan replied, after finishing breakfast, he sat down at the table again and struggled on his Tab.
"Didn't you come have breakfast with me?"
There was no reply from the man, "Victoria accompanied me at dawn, she said you came home to take a bath and change clothes. Hmm.. He also said that I was your fiancee."
Ryan's finger stopped above his Tab screen,
"Is that true?" Further.
"Certainly,"
The girl looked surprised, "Then, why don't we wear a couple ring? And what happened to me, no one wants to tell me about this?"
Ryan sighed, "Eat it, don't be fussy. Slowly you know the end too"
"Are we fighting now?" Ask again. Ryan lifted his face,
"You mean?"
"I asked you, but you didn't see me at all,"
"I'm busy. Victoria's coming soon, I'm leaving first!" The man took his coat and coat.
"Maafan!!" the girl's statement made Ryan's steps stop, he turned to look at Delista. "Hopefully have a great day! Fighting!!" The girl cheered Ryan with her sweet smile. Ryan just nodded and left.
'No. Don't be nice to me! please, once you know what my father did to your family. Are you going to keep smiling like that?'
