He, the Unacknowledged
95 Bound, But Not Bound
Ken's heart is racing. He was aware, and knew very well, that Khea could not possibly give them such light conditions, let alone with Khea's attitude.
Everyone waited with anxious feelings. The heart beats as if waiting for a death sentence.
"Say, Khea."
"I'll accept the inheritance, with the note, Ken can't have another daughter. Either from a religiously legal marriage, or religion or law. Oh, also including children outside of marriage. Nor may adopt a child, whether legally authorized, or not."
"What?"
"Don't that mean you're banning Ken from marrying another woman?" ask mama Ken.
"I'm not saying that, but if anyone concludes like that, then go ahead."
"Then why don't you just marry Ken?"
"Curtain! You think I'm stupid!"
Pias's face is clearly visible from the faces of Ken's parents, especially his mother. Khea hates them both, especially Ken's mother.
Gean looked at Khea's face. So deep and clingy.
They understand.
Totally understand.
Khea would never let Ken have another child, from another woman. It's nice, Ken will love another kid, who should be given to K
Gean from many years ago.
Khea swore she wouldn't let that happen.
Prayer had failed to fight for Gean's rights since the boy was still in the womb, because Ken refused to acknowledge.
So, this is what Khea will fight for.
"Do you intend to master the treasure?" ask Ken's mom
"I'm not asking. If you don't want to, yes you have. If it's a matter of treasure, I can get it with my own abilities. I have also succeeded with my own hands, no interference from you. Oya, I can also marry another rich man."
"Isn't this unfair, Khea? I also want you not to marry and have children from other men."
"You have no right to make requirements."
Mommy forbade her from having another daughter. That means I won't have a brother from a different mother, right?
No, no, no. I don't want to.
Gean clenched his hand.
Ronald thinks that Khea is fighting for is Gean. It's not a matter of treasure, but it's more important than that.
Ken himself thought, no matter the prayer is not married to another woman, anyway he did not plan for it. But he wanted Khea to do the same. Let Gean be their only child.
Mama Ken wants to file a loud protest. Isn't this the same as shackling Ken in an obscure bond? Not to have children from other women, but the status is not the husband of the person. Have children, but not recognized.
Not a man's husband, but not a widower.
Single, but almost the same as not getting married.
They have grandchildren but are not considered opa oma.
He has grandchildren, but no son-in-law.
Khea did not say directly that Ken should not marry another woman, but which woman would marry without being allowed to have her own children?
Moreover, the relationship between Ken and Vara was over, even though the woman had previously said she did not mind.
Khea really avenged everything in the best way, pressing them inside out.
Mommy would do anything for you, Gean. Although people say mommy is selfish and mean, mommy doesn't care.
They make mommy like this.
Mommy will never let them give affection to another child and forget about you. In the end, only mommy would give them offspring!
