He, the Unacknowledged
119 Ronald's Request
Vara opened her eyes. He felt pain all over his body. He sees both his parents and Ken's parents on the couch. Slowly Vara Muxin remembered what happened.
"Ma, Pa," call Vara slowly. Her mother opened her eyes, seeing that her first child was conscious.
"Is anyone sick, honey? Wait a minute, I'll call the doctor first." Her mother pressed the call button, and not long after, the doctor and nurse came.
"He's fine, but we still have to do a full check on his body."
"Ma, where's Ken? What happened to Vana and Gean?"
"They both were unconscious. Ken's still waiting for them."
Vara sighed. She hopes the first person she'll see after she wakes up is Ken, her future husband. The man was actually somewhere else.
Those who were waiting for Vara at this moment wanted to ask, but knew this was not the right time.
In the next room
Gean started to open his eyes.
"Mom .. mommy?"
"Darling, daddy's here." ken approached Gean, but the boy turned his face away. Just then, he immediately saw next to her the mommy closed her eyes with a pale face. Gean started crying.
"Mommy ...." His cries began to sound. Ara and Khea's friends parted to calm the boy. Gean tried to get up, but his body was still very sick.
"Wake up, Mom." That sobbing hurt Ken. The man hugged Gean, not caring about the boy's refusal. No matter how hard Gean rebelled.
"Mommy, mommy ... Gean wants mommy!"
Ara immediately called the doctor. The doctor examined Gean, then examined Khea.
"He will soon be conscious. It does take time for the recovery of his hands and feet."
"With regular treatment and therapy, he will recover quickly."
Vara waited all day for Ken's arrival, but until now there was no sign that the man would notice his condition. Is he now meaningless in that man's heart?
If Ken wants a child, he can also give it to him after they get married. She promised she would never delay getting pregnant.
"Ma, Mom, why hasn't Ken come?" The question finally escaped from Vara's mouth.
Both mama breathed.
"Gean is being placated. Khea was still unconscious as well, her hands and feet were broken and needed special care."
"What?"
"Ken is trying to calm Gean down. Don't think about it, yeah. What matters is the health of all three of you."
"Ken ... Ken's not gonna leave me because of this, is he?"
"meaning?"
"Ken won't leave me for Vana and Gean, will he?"
"He should have left you for Vana and Khea." They looked around, Ronald came into the room.
"Dad ...." Ken's mother feels bad for Vara and her mother.
"Vara, you are young, beautiful, and learned. You have a good career too. Your future is long and bright. Better let Ken go, pray with his son. If you become Vana, can you survive like her? Do you have a child that small? New love can still be obtained, but biological parents, however, cannot be removed."
Vara looked down, she felt treated like a third party. Like an actor who would snatch a husband from another woman. Like a criminal snatching a father from his son.
