He, the Unacknowledged
120 The Only One He Has In The World
Khea finally opened her eyes. The shadow of the accident caused him to panic and immediately search for the whereabouts of his son.
"Gean?" Khea felt less to look. His neck is supported by a neck brace.
"Gean?"
"You're sober? I'll call the doctor first. Gean was sleeping after exhaustion from crying. Dian's worried about you. Our son is fine."
Khea wanted to protest when Ken referred to Gean as our son, but he was still too weak. His voice was still very slow, barely audible if Ken had not looked at him.
Doctors and nurses came, and immediately checked on Khea.
"He's fine. We will continue to monitor Miss Khea's progress."
"Mommy."
Khea glanced to the side. Gean, who turns out his safe is next to him. The boy hugged Khea.
"Be careful Gean, mommy's still sick."
Gean brushed off Ken's hand when Kris touched him. The door of the room opened, both Khea's parents and Ken's family entered.
"Darling, you're finally awake too."
Mama Khea hugged her son.
"Don't touch my mommy!" Gean said very cynically to his grandmother, making the old woman's heart hurt.
"Gean ...."
"You're not oma Gean. You're nobody mommy and Gean. It will never be anyone."
Is this pain being rejected outright?
The door is back open. The nurse came to bring food and medicine for Khea and Gean. The boy immediately held up a little Khea gurney so that Khea could eat and lean back comfortably.
"Open Mommy's mouth." Gean skillfully feeds Khea a meal, not even a straw. After that Gean also opened the medicine for Khea and gave her a drink. Gean took a tissue, rubbed Khea's wet mouth and Khea's neck. After he finished treating Khea, the boy ate his own meal without being told, and took medicine without protest and there was no bitter taste.
"You must be wondering, right, why is Gean able to do everything himself?" ask one of Khea's friends who had always been with the woman since the beginning of her dark times. Ara herself was also amazed.
Admired but sad.
The independence that shows how old their lives were was so heavy.
"If you all knew what had happened, I think you would cry blood."
Deg
Crying blood?
Those words were definitely implying something very bad. Something that cannot be imagined.
Do they want to know? Want to hear everything?
"Uncle." Gean interrupted the words of Khea's friend.
"Gean, it's so you can bring Gean a painting tool so you don't get bored."
"Aunty also brought Gean and mommy's favorite fruits."
"Thank you Uncle, Aunty." Gean placed the painting on the nightstand, then approached Khea.
"Mommy don't worry, Gean's gonna be Mommy's hands and feet." Khea blinked her eyes, because to just nod she could not, was willing to talk but it was very difficult.
They shed tears. Little boy, why should always be required to mature, when he should be able to play cheerfully without thinking about the heavy problems.
Gean peeled the fruit for Khea. It's not that Khea's friends don't want to do it, but it was like that a long time ago. If Khea is sick, Gean wants her to take care of the only person she has in this world.
