Kenzo stepped into the room. The lights were not as lively as they usually were. And yes, the room was too quiet. Far from the shadow of Kenzo who thought that as soon as he entered the room he would find Alesya with his sobs. But it turned out that this was not what he had imagined. Even his wife seemed to have been on the bed.
Kenzo stepped closer. Want to make sure Alesya is really asleep or not. The lights on the nightstand were bright enough to help Kenzo see his wife's face.
“what is this?” kenzo noticed Alesya's blindfold. Kenzo almost wanted to touch the blindfold to open it. But that's not what he did. He was afraid that if Alesya really fell asleep then he would build Alesya and make Alesya cry again.
Kenzo took a slow breath and left Alesya. He wanted to clean his face and then change his new nightgown he would lie next to his wife.
After Kenzo finished changing his clothes, he climbed onto the bed. His initial intention was to lie down and relax beside Alesya who was asleep, he said. But Kenzo's eyes really don't feel sleepy.
Kenzo leaned his back on the head of the bed. He gently touched his wife's hair.
“If I could turn back nine years ago when I met you in my car, I would not have foolishly driven you to the train station back then.” Kenzo's voice sounded very slow. He was afraid that Alesya would wake up.
“know you Alesya, I've been looking for you even since the day you left.” Kenzo remembers the moment he woke up he had not seen the girl who spent the night with him that time.
“cinderella left next to her shoes, at that time you just left me a small clue about yourself. Yeah, just a little hint. Star-shaped birthmark on your back. Did you think you weren't too outrageous to me at the time? You just left me with just a little hint?” Kenzo smiled as he recalled how he and Jack always tried to find a girl with a star birthmark on her back.
“I can't remember your face because that night I was under the influence of medicine, and the room's lights wouldn't light up as bright as this room if I turned on the lights. Dim yes.room lights when it was dim. I only know the girl has a beautiful body and at a glance her face is very beautiful.”
“I was guilty of using you back then. But whether you're gonna believe it or not, it's also the first time in my life. Even since that night I have never touched another woman at all.” Kenzo breathed heavily.
“If you listen to my explanation, open your heart a little to dialogue with me then I believe I can make you believe I have my own reasons why I chose to redress all this dear.” Kenzo's voice sounded. And his tears without him noticing fell and hit Alesya's cheek.
Alesya touched Kenzo's tears that fell onto her cheeks. Then she opened the blindfold she was wearing.
“you haven't slept?” ask Kenzo to panic. He was afraid that Alesya was still carried away by emotions and would chase him away. “Do I disturb your sleep? I-I'll sleep on the couch.” Kenzo said and rushed to move.
But the unexpected happened. Alesya held Kenzo's hand and said, “I'm willing to listen to all your explanations on me.”
Kenzo was surprised to hear Asysa say so. How Aleysa was able to calm herself down so quickly. She was completely different from most other women.
“Thank you dear.” Kenzo said as he kissed Alesya. But Alesya quickly avoids Kenzo.
“Not a problem. At least he's given me a chance to explain the matter.”Kenzo murmured inwardly to understand that Alesya still did not fully accept the things he had done. Kenzo had heard that women are easy to forgive but to forget would be a different thing.
Alesya changed her position. Now he and Kenzo are both leaning on the head of the bed.
Kenzo looked in his wife's face. She was grateful that Alesya wanted to be this mature.
“Genesis nine years ago it happened because I was trapped by my uncle Marcus.” Kenzo started telling stories. “You must have known Marcus, right?”
“Marucs?” Alesya cried in her heart. “What does Marcus have to do with all these things?”
“This started when both my parents died in an accident. I was a teenager then. I remember the day I was told that my mom and dad died in an accident. I was devastated and didn't want to see anyone but my uncle Marcus. Marcus is my father's foster brother and father's confidant. I respect him and admire him a lot. He really is like a father and brother to me.”
“Nothing changed actually back then. Mom and dad died. I'm battered. Everyone tried to entertain me. Until I accidentally listened to my grandfather, Marcus and the police conversation about the fact of the accident that has claimed the lives of my parents.”
“You know -, it turns out that there was a person who sabotaged the car that my father was carrying at that time.” Kenzo smiled mirically recalling the day he hid in the corner of the guest room only to be able to eavesdrop on the conversation between his grandfather, his uncle and the police.
“But grandfather asked the police to stop the investigation. Isn't that so weird? Why grandfather asked the police to stop investigating the accident that killed my father and mother. While my uncle Marcus looks very pale. She's quiet. Didn't say anything.”
“At that time I actually wanted to get out of my hiding place. Wanted to scold my grandfather. Why he should stop the police investigation. But my feet are nailed to where I stand. I can't move at all.”
Alesya listened to Kenzo tell a careful story.
Kenzo took a deep breath and exhaled and restarted the story.
“But it turns out it's useful. I heard my uncle Marcus ended up crying after the cops left. In my mind back then, what was my uncle crying for? Is he the same as me, feeling sad and angry because of grandfather's unreasonable behavior?”
“I kept watching my grandfather who was busy calming my uncle.”
“And you know Alesya, what do I hear next?” Kenzo looked at Alesya next to him with a smile but the smile even invited pity in the hearts of people who saw it. Not the smile Kenzo used to show everyone.
“I listened to my grandfather say to my uncle, relax it's not your fault. It's all the destiny of your brother and brother-in-law Marcus. You don't have to feel guilty about it.” Kenzo smiled again and really it made Alesya suddenly feel goosebumps.
“I try to get out of my hiding place. With trembling legs I walked over and approached my grandfather and uncle.”
Alesya was actually eager to ask this and that to Kenzo but for now she refrained from staying silent and listening to Kenzo's story.
“then I asked my grandfather what he meant. But neither my grandfather nor my uncle answered my question. They just shut up. Then out of anger why no one answered my question then I ventured to ask my uncle. I asked my uncle what did Grandpa just mean? Did my uncle cause my father and mother to die?”
“My uncle just shut up and bowed. He did not deny or deny that. But I saw him clenching both of his hands that looked trembling.”
“my heart is sad and angry at the same time. Until I say-“ Kenzo took a breath for a moment. However it is difficult for Kenzo to share his bitter memories with others. But since this was part of the story nine years ago, inevitably, Kenzo had to be honest so that Alesya could truly understand the ins and outs of her life starting from tonight.
“Are you really the killer of my parents? I asked him that and made my grandfather slap into my face. Since then my relationship with my grandfather has been fractured. And my relationship with Marcus got really bad.” Kenzo's hands clenched and trembled as he said that sentence. I don't know, even though it happened a dozen years or even nearly twenty years ago, Kenzo's heart still hurts.
Alesya was already unable to contain herself anymore. Finally he clasped Kenzo's hand beside his.
“I'm sorry I made you remember all those bad things.” Alesya finally understood why Kenzo did not introduce herself to her grandfather or Marcus.
Kenzo looked at Alesya with a smile and said,”thank you for coming back my Alesya. Alesya who understands my joys and sorrows.”
Alesya just smiled. Actually he was still upset at Kenzo but somehow he was reflexively clasping the man's hand.
“And what happened nine years ago was Marcus because Jack and I were investigating the Dayson family company under his leadership in City A. He put something in my drink and made me lose consciousness.”
“I staggered into my room that night. I know something's wrong with me. I feel different. And I know it must have been him. I'm sure at the time he wanted to frame me for doing bad things and spread things out. I forbid Jack to find a doctor for me. I also warned Jack not to look for a woman for me because I didn't want to turn out I was getting deeper into his trap.”
“Finally that night I decided to soak myself in cold water. But when I undressed, I saw a girl on the bed. And that happened to Alesya.”
Alesya sighed hearing Kenzo's story.
“When I woke up in the morning I didn't see you in that room. There are only your clothes that have been torn and scattered on the floor. And when I woke up I saw a stain on top of that bed.”Kenzo took a deep breath and then swallowed it. “I realized you weren't definitely Marcus' man. It's impossible to frame me. Marcus would go to great lengths to find a virgin for me. I immediately regretted my actions that night-“
“but either fate deliberately toyed with us, I met you but could not recognize you because your look was not the same as that night. You're performing in a different style to make me not know that you're that girl. I even helped you escape. And without me realizing I was looking for a figure that I had been dropping off for eight more years.”
“When you came back into my life after eight years I still didn't know that you were the girl that night. I was still looking for a girl that night. I just found out you were him when you came to save me from Jenny and Agnez. Because that night I saw that star sign on you. I immediately asked Jack to do a DNA test on me and Scale. To ascertain Scale whether my son or not.”
“Sorry it wasn't my intention to doubt Scale, it was just that you left for years, then overnight I knew you were the girl, so I needed to check all the possibilities. I didn't know about your life for years away from me. As for asking you, back then there was no way Alesya.” Kenzo looked at Alesya.
“It didn't make sense for me to ask bluntly at you back then. Just imagine, if at that time I asked you about what happened that night. You could've been embarrassed and slapped me. Or maybe your reaction was more than that. You could have left me and brought the Scale. I took all that into account Alesya. I'm afraid of losing you. I've been in love with you for a long time Alesya. Don't ask when. For I myself do not know when I began to love you.”
“And one thing you need to know Alesya, Skala has known that I'm her biological father since she was at grandfather's house to recuperate. I don't want this to be a new problem for our relationship.” Kenzo.
“What? Even Scale already knows?” Alesya did not believe it.
“Yes, Scale already knows everything.”
Alesya pulled her hand and folded it to the chest.”it turns out you guys conspired to fool me.” Alesya exclaimed, annoyed.
“No!!! No one fooled you. It's all because the Scale alone is too smart.” Answer Kenzo.
“So you think I'm stupid? So?” Alesya widened her eyes.
“I never said so dear.” Kenzo tried to convince his wife of what he meant.
“you didn't say that directly. But the meaning is the same.” Alesya said, sulking.
“Alesya, listen to me. Do you remember Scales at the hospital and you asked me who donated blood for the Scale?” Look Kenzo sharply at Alesya's eyes.
“Did you remember that time I said that I was a blood donor for Scale?” Kenzo once again looked seriously at his wife's face.
“you didn't even put in the list of people who deserved to be suspected as his father Scales back then, did you?” ask Kenzo.
Alesya nodded slowly.
“Why? Why did you take me off the list of people who might be the biological father of Scale?”
“Because of stiff fear you really are that person.” Answer Alesya,pelan. “I was afraid that you were really a man on that night. I'm afraid you're looking down on me.” Alesya.
“See.. Seee!! We each have concerns within us that make us choose to remain silent Alesya. And it's not because of bad intentions. Really, I did too. So trust me, baby. I never meant to keep this truth forever from you. I really want to find the right time to explain everything.” Kenzo said and clasped Alesya's hand.
“I'm sorry if because of all my worries it makes me late to be honest with yourself and makes me feel I'm too selfish to keep all these secrets, I'm really sorry.” Kenzo pulled Alesya into his arms. And Kenzo heard Alesya crying in Kenzo's arms.
“Kenz-“ Said Alesya sobbing. “thank you for being honest for everything by Kenz.”
“I also apologize if I was very angry with you.”Alesya continued.
“No darling. I completely understand the reason for your anger.” replied Kenzo in relief.
“really?” alesya asked as she looked into Kenzo's eyes.
Now a burden in Alesya's heart had been lifted. But there was still another burden that even appeared in Alezya's mind. Should he tell Kenzo the truth about his condition that he might not be able to give Kenzo any more offspring?
“Kenz-“
“ya, what's the matter dear?”
Alesya is still considering telling Kenzo or not.
“Do you want a sister for Scale?”Alesya asked doubtfully.
“Heem of course. Of course we have to give a sister to the Scale. I know how lonely an only child is. I don't want Scale to feel the same way.” Answer Kenzo.
Alesya took a deep breath. If Kenzo had been honest with him for every ins and outs of his life, Alesya felt unfair if he did not tell the truth about his state. If Kenzo were to leave it, it would be better for that to happen tonight.
“Kenz-“ Exciting Alesya.
“Heeem.”Answer kenzo slowly.
“I-I'm afraid I can't give you another child.” Alesya answered with a downcast face.
Kenzo immediately raised Alesya's chin. And looked into his wife's eyes. “What do you mean dear?” ask Kenzo, be careful.
“I – I'm on verdict will be difficult to get offspring again Kenz.” Alesya said, turning her face away.
“Alesya, don't turn your face away. Take a look at me and tell me what you mean.” Ask Kenzo.
“Kenz-“ Alesya breathes as much air as she can.
“After I gave birth to Scale, the doctor told me that I might find it difficult to get another child. I may not be able to give you a Kenz.” child Alesya's tears now fell because she felt so useless as a wife.
“So this is what makes her sad?” Kenzo said in his heart. Actually Kenzo already knew the health condition of his wife when Kenzo intercepted his wife's conversation in the restaurant with his friends at the time. And when he first learned of this, Kenzo was devastated and blamed himself for Alesya's current condition. He did not know that it was a burden for Alesya.
“Alesya, listen to me. Hey. come on listen to me.” Kenzo wiped the one on Alesya's cheek.
“I never bothered with that Alesya. And you don't worry, there are a lot of doctors out there, we'll find a doctor who can help us. So you don't have to be afraid or sad about this.” Kenzo.
“Kenz-“ Alesya holds Kenzo's hand still holding her cheek. “I will indeed be very difficult to get another child. And if you want to leave me because of this then I will accept your decision Kenz.” Alesya tries to accept Kenzo's decision if Kenzo will finally leave him.
“I never thought like that Alesya. And I would never think like that. So you don't have to think that's not it. We already have a scale. If in the future we do not have any more children, the scale is enough for me.” Answer Kenzo at length.
“forgive me Kenz! If I was careful when I contained the Scale then this need not happen.” Alesya.
“No! Alesya please! Don't say that. It's not all your fault, baby. It was my fault. Suppose I took good care of you and never abandoned you then that bad thing would not befall you and the Scale. I'm the one at fault here, Alesya. I wasn't on your side at the – hardest time of your life.” Kenzo hugged his wife once again.
“So never blame yourself again baby. It was all my fault. I as a man shouldn't be slow in finding you. I-“
Kenzo's words stopped, because Alesya kissed her husband. He couldn't bear to hear Kenzo continue to blame himself for the negligence that Alesya felt was his fault.
“don't blame each other again. I promise I'll come wherever you take me to get Kenz. I'll do whatever it takes for Skala to get a little sister. So from now on don't say this is your fault.” Alesya said as soon as she let go of her kiss from Kenzo.
“then you must promise me that you will not blame yourself for this condition because the more you blame yourself the more I will feel guilty for my negligence on you. I know I'm nine years late to do all my duties, but really I want to make up for all those things for my whole life.” Kenzo said as he placed Alesya's head to lean on her shoulder.
“I promise.”
“really?” Kenzo asked just to make sure back what he heard.
“Really! I promise.” Answer Alesya.
“Then try to repeat your appointment.” Kenzo Exclamation.
“Hah? Repeat my promise?” Alesya asked confusedly.
“Iya repeat your promise.” Repeat Kenzo again.
“Eeehemm.. I promise I will not blame myself again for my current condition.” Alesya.
“Dan-” connect Kenzo.
“Dan?? And What is Kenz?” alesya asked more confusedly.
“huft when you forgot Alesya, didn't you say another promise?” Exclaimed Kenzo, acting angry.
Alesya thought for a moment. But because there were too many things that they were talking about, Aleysa forgot what she had said.
Kenzo looked at the confused expression on Alesya's face. In his heart Kenzo laughed looking at Alesya's confused face. “Look at him very forgetful.”Kenzo cried in his heart.
“so fast did you forget Alesya?” ask Kenzo.
“Heeem.. Kenz, I'm sorry. There's too much we're telling you tonight. I'm really sorry because I can't remember.” Said Alesya, while still thinking about what the other promise he said.
“well. I'll help you remember.” Kenzo.
kenzo pulled Alesya closer to him and deliberately spoke while whispering in Alesya's ear.
“then you also promised that you would be willing to come wherever I take you for treatment so that we can give you a sister for Skala. Do you remember saying that to me too?” whispered Kenzo, who inexplicably made Alesya feel the air of danger coming at her.
“Tent-of course I remember it.” Alesya said, nervous. He began to sense Kenzo had a hidden intent behind his words.
“then, wasn't it before we went to the doctor to consult our problem-“ Kenzo deliberately decapitated his words into a few sentences. “We have to make sure really is there a problem with it.” Kenzo continued his sentence and immediately made Alesya realize that she was in danger.
“Kenz, it looks like I'm already sleepy.” Elak Alesya fast. “how about we talk about this tomorrow morning only.” Alesya answered and immediately wanted to hide herself under the covers.
It's just that unfortunately Alesya's movement has been read by Kenzo and Kenzo's hand was faster than Alesya's movement so that now Alesya even became confined between Kenzo's hands.
Alesya could only smile while grimacing. How fate can really turn things around this fast. He and Kenzo were almost separated. Crying to each other. Blue each other. But in an instant the desire of love came back.
“Kenz-“ Exciting Alesya.
“heem..” replied Kenzo briefly.
“Already night.”Alesya said, with a stiff smile.
“Ya I know it's night.” Kenzo replied in the same way as before.
“It is better for business to the doctor we talk tomorrow morning only.” Said Alesya, who is actually aware that whatever Kenzo wants to do at this time has nothing to do with their plans to see a doctor.
“Ok.” Kenzo replied, it's as short as he can be.
“then let's sleep.” Alesya said, persuading.
“Not that we have to prove something first and then we can consult a doctor, isn't that what we should do Miss Dayson?” Well Kenzo's answer this one long rumayan even too long and very specific to make Alesya already immediately understand where this conversation is headed.
“I don't think it necessary.” Alesya replied, still trying to dodge.
“I think need.” Reply Kenzo.
“I don't think it necessary.” The answer Alesya gave was still the same.
“I think it's necessary.” Kenzo was getting closer and closer towards Alesya.
“Kenz, it's been very night.” Alesya.
“ya I know then it should be done immediately. So that tomorrow morning we can confirm it.” Answer Kenzo origin.
Kenzo is getting closer.
“Hei mister Dayson!” Excited Alesya, whose position is increasingly cornered now Kenzo's face fits in front of him. Even their noses touched each other.
Kenzo just smiled and kissed his wife. The night ended beautifully not as it usually happens in soap operas where small things were raised and big things even expanded the territory of the colony. Heheheh...
***
hopefully from the way Kenzo and Alesya solve their complicated problems, we all remember that where the direction of marriage will be taken all depends on the person who runs it. Wanna end? Want further? It's all in our hands. Give it a chance to explain and sit quietly to listen. Sometimes the pain cannot be eliminated. Pissed. Disappointedness. Will surely come to color our days. But once these dear authoritative readers regretted having indulged in ego for a moment and said,”try earlier I was more patient, definitely will not be like this.”
Sometimes we need to set a self-remind alarm to prevent us from making stupid decisions when we are in an emotional state whether sad, disappointed or angry.
Well, it's not over yet. hahahhaa. Is that grandpa going to accept that they're better off? Wait for the continuation yes..
