He, the Unacknowledged
23 Intentionally
23 INTENTIONALLY
In the middle of the night Khea woke up. He moaned slowly and familiarized his eyes with the lighting of the room lamp.
"Ge .. an ...."
"Darling, are you awake?"
Khea glanced at Ken. He started to remember what happened this morning. Panic began to fall on him.
"Gean, my son, Gean ...."
"Stranquilo, Khea. Gean survived, he's sleeping right now."
"I want Gean."
"Yes, wait for tomorrow morning, yeah. It's midnight now, pity Gean." Ken was trying to give the woman some understanding. It's also free to see Gean's current state.
Khea closed her eyes again. Ken rubbed Khea's head gently.
The next morning, Khea wakes up and immediately searches for Gean.
"I want my son. Don't take my son, don't take him!"
"No one will take Gean. Let's go there, " said Ken.
Inevitably, Ken must bring Khea to Gean. There is no point in covering everything from Khea. Khea's mother, and the one most entitled to know about Gean's circumstances.
Ken pushed the wheelchair used by Khea. The female body was indeed very weak at the moment. Even to stand up, it felt very difficult.
Their friends followed from behind. At Gean's place, there was only Vara's mother and Ken's mother, because their husbands had to work.
"Where's Gean?"
"Gean is inside."
Ken opened the door to the ICU. Khea's tears immediately flowed when she saw the condition of her child like that. Which mother is not devastated to see her young child lying weak with the help of life support tools.
"I should have, I should have been like this. Gean protected me. I should've protected Gean."
Ken remembered the words of the man who was there yesterday. The man clenched his hand. He certainly wouldn't let the impactor get away with it.
"I don't want to go anywhere, I want to be here."
"of course. You'll be treated in the same room as Gean."
The family waiting room can be for Dhea to be cared for as well. After all it will make it easier for Ken and the others to take care of Gean and Khea.
Khea shook her head, where she could eat when Gean's condition was like this.
"Khea, you have to eat for Gean's sake. Don't let Gean wake up and see the sick mommy."
Khea opened her mouth, receiving the food despite the pain. He didn't care who was feeding him at this moment. His mind was busy on a Gean. His body was really weak, like it was boneless.
Khea went back to sleep after taking the medicine. The tension is very low and he needs enough rest.
"Listen, we have to find out who the perp was. The police are still shrinking the culprit, but I can't wait to catch the guy" Deo said.
"I'll catch the culprit" Ken said.
"You ...."
"Listen to all of you. We're here the same. They care about Khea and Gean. Stop the dispute first. If you can work together, why not? Our goals are the same, right?"
They silently listened to Nio's words. Nio will always be a mediator for Ken, since long ago.
"It seems like this wasn't just a hit-and-run, but it was already planned."
"What?"
"But why?"
"Yes it's obvious because that guy doesn't like Khea."
"Did Khea have enemies?"
"There are a lot of people who don't like him. For example, Vara," said Ara to chimed in their conversation.
"Hey, be careful, don't just talk."
"Ck, I'm just saying Vara doesn't like Khea. Not that he hit, right. There's also Rissa—si grandma peyot!"
"It can't be both of them. Rissa is a bitch, but it's not that bad either" Marco said.
Ara immediately glanced sharply at Marco.
"Don't misunderstand me. I'm just friends with him."
"I really care, if you're just friends or you're her babysitter!"
To Ara, Rissa was like dust that could create allergies. Not good for breathing, nor good for skin health. Remembering Khea's past stories, she comes to understand why Khea doesn't like Rissa either.
