LOST IN YOUR HEART
MUTUALLY STRENGTHEN

J.O opened his watery-looking eyes. He surveyed the whole room and saw Daniel with Liza nearby. He looked at them both in turn. His mouth was trying to say something.

"Jack? You finally woke up, we were waiting for you a week ago" Daniel said.

"Mi, where's mika? Why isn't he here?" tanya J.O stammered.

"He was resting in his room. I just drove her to bed" replied Liza.

"What about those criminals?" ask J.O.

"I have completed your last mission. You can live in peace now" Daniel.

"I'll hear the story later. Now I have to see Mika. Can you help me wake up?" J. O. tried to sit down.

Daniel helped his friend wake up. He can't stop J.O from meeting Mika. He held onto J.O tightly towards the room where Mika was sleeping. Although J.O asked Daniel to let go of his hand, he kept holding J.O patiently. They arrived in front of Mika's room.

"Thank you for helping me walk Daniel"

"Yes, you rest with him. Liza and I will come if you need help" Daniel said.

J. O. nodded his head. When Daniel and Liza passed from before him, he immediately went into his room. She saw Mika lying down with her blanket. Teetering, J.O approached his wife. He sat down beside Mika and observed the face of the girl who made him feel alive again. On the trunk of Mika's hair and then she touched Mika's stomach. J.O doesn't know that Mika miscarried. So he thought that the baby was still in Mika's stomach. He was very happy with his wife's pregnancy. For so long she wanted a child. But until now fate has said something else. As J.O rubbed Mika's stomach, the girl sensed that someone was touching her. He opened his eyes and saw that J. O. was already by his side. He was very surprised, but he was also so happy to see J.O safe.

"Jack?" mika said sparkling.

"Continue sleeping. I will take care of you" J.O said with a smile.

"I'm glad to see you back"

"me too. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you back then" J.O said staring at Mika.

"No. You've always protected me Jack."

"What's wrong? Can't I touch my baby?" ask J.O.

"Your baby, our baby, the doctor couldn't save her. I'm sorry Jack" Mika started to huddle in J.O's arms.

"No. Whatchu mean?" ask J.O.

"I'm having heavy bleeding. And my womb can't hold. I miscarried Jack,, I lost her,," Mika cried.

J.O was astonished by everything Mika told him. He was so shocked by the sad news. Since losing her baby, she has always looked happily at the people she meets. People who take the streets of their daughter's son. He wanted something like that. But everything is just a dream. Twelve years passed, until he met Mika. He also shares his love with the girl. And hope for him to soon give her offspring.

J.O took a deep breath. Hugging Mika tightly, she shed her tears. And seemed to cry without a sound. She was so sad to lose her baby. The two humans embraced each other feeling a deep sense of sadness.

The next day, Mika's eyes opened first. J. O. was sleeping. And hugged himself warmly. The man's face now looked so tired. And a little basin with a blackish tint in his eyes. Mika palpated and rubbed J.O's cheeks.

She imagined the times when her father beat her husband violently. Mika was so tormented. Because you have to see people who are in love very hurt in a vile way.

Then Mika remembered the story of J.O first. About Minami his wife. Maybe J.O's pain is as he feels now. It could even be that it's all the more painful.

"Is this how your pain Jack used to be? You even saw him die in those people's arms. It might hurt more than I felt when I saw you being hurt" Mika murmured.

Mika brought her head closer and kissed J.O's cheek. He hugged her and did not want to take her off again. Whatever happens, he is more alive with her. A man who comes to him with or without purpose, who gives color every day. Now, the man was already back in his arms. Mika is very grateful that J.O survived. When Mika was looking at J.O's face, suddenly the man's eyes opened. He looked at Mika so deeply. His hand moved rubbing Mika's head. And a little smile.

Then swiped Mika's lips gently.

J. O. smiled back.
