The Flashback


Khea arrived in front of a house. His already extremely weak body knocked slowly on the door. Just as the door was opened, Khea's body had already fallen on the floor.


"Vana!"


An aged woman rubbed Vana's face cold and certainly very pale.


"Please .. please!" the woman named Risti.


Some people came to Risti's mother.


"What happened mom?"


"Please help you lift her up to the room."


They took Khea to the closest room. Mother Risti took the oil and applied it to Khea's nose, also asking a young woman to make warm tea and bring food.


Not long after, Khea opened her eyes. He looked around and knew he was where he was.


"Vana, what happened to you?" ask mother Risti.


"I ...."


"Tell me, don't be afraid."


"I'm .. I'm pregnant, Mother."


"What's? How come?"


"I was raped, and the man didn't want to take responsibility. He did not even want to admit his actions. Tonight she's engaged to another woman."


Khea cried sobbing, the shadow of a gloomy future haunted her.


"Do your family know?"


"They didn't believe me, and they kicked me out of the house. They don't want to acknowledge me as a child anymore. Why are they like that to me? They think I'm lying."


Those who heard Khea's words shut their mouths, and wept in silence.


"Don't be afraid, Vana. There's us on your side. You will take care of you and your future children" said Stella, one of the people who was there.


After feeding Vana, Risti's mother still accompanied Vana until the woman slept.


The next day Khea passed in the orphanage. Khea doesn't talk much anymore. When asked who the father of the child he contained, Khea only said cynically that the man was dead, without saying his name.


Khea should have started her activities as a freshman at her favorite university. Facing this reality, Khea was frustrated and very depressed.


Flashback Off


Khea woke up from her daydream a few years ago.


"Where do you live now, Khea?" ask Ara.


"Give me your mobile number. I'll call you later."


Khea really seems to care no more about Ken, nor about his family. To the current Khea, they were just strangers who were not worth knowing. Even his son said he was disgusted by the man.


Not just talk, but Gean never likes to be touched by strangers, let alone people he does not like.


"Vana!" Ken touches Khea's hand, angering Gean again at the grown man before him.


"Don't touch my mommy!"


Ken was struck by Gean's reaction. Nio immediately took the initiative to prevent unwanted things from happening.


"Hello hotshot. Meet, uncle Nio. Hello, Gean."


Gean just stared flat at Nio's face, but said nothing.


"Mommy, let's just go home. There's a lot of shitty people here, Gean doesn't like."


Gean, even though he was a child, but he knew that since then people kept watching him and his mommy, Dian he really didn't like that.
