Life Journey

Nathan smiled too. "It's okay, I don't mind."

"Thank you."

"You better get some rest first" Nathan added.

"Yes, I went into the room first" Clarissa replied and then got up from the couch. But while standing, Nathan suddenly blocked his hand.

"Do you want to read a comic?" nathan asked who made the two smile.

Kenzo stopped his car in front of a large house in a luxury housing complex. "Mama Amanda, Cleo, Kenzo, I'll go down first. You guys don't want to stop by for a second?"

"No, Brother Sharen, we want to take care of our wedding. Our wedding is five days away."

"Yes, there is still a lot of preparation that we have to take care of, brother," Cleo added.

"Alright, be careful on the road."

Sharen hugged Amanda. "Actually I still miss Mama a lot, I want to stay at your house but Papa Abiman is sick so I can't bear to let Mama Inara take care of Papa alone."

"You can stay at our house whenever you want if your Papa's cured, son," Amanda replied as she stroked Sharen's hair.

"Yes, I also want to play with Shane. After Kenzo and Cleo get married I'll accompany Mama during their honeymoon."

Amanda smiled as she nodded her head. Sharen got out of the car, waved his hand and walked into the house after Kenzo's car left the house.

Cleo then glanced at Kenzo. "Our wedding preparations are almost done, Kenzo. You don't want to go down because you don't want to meet Papa Abimana, do you?" ask Cleo.

"You already know the answer, Cleo. It's best not to talk about him anymore" replied Kenzo.

"But he's your real father, he's also been aware of all his mistakes and he's been in the making for a long time, Kenzo. Isn't that Ma?" cleo asked Amanda who was sitting in the back seat of the car.

"Oh yes, yes Cleo. Kenzo, it's true what Cleo said, however Abhimana is your father, he has also apologized to you and has been in a long time of repentance. Learn to forgive and accept Abimana, Kenzo. You now have a son, you must teach your son kindness."

"Don't I tell you not to equate me with Abimana. I love Shane so much, so much different from him that he made his own son."

"But Shane also needs his grandfather, Kenzo. I'm not gonna let Shane lose his grandfather's affection, do you understand?" cleo's grumble that makes Kenzo look even more upset.

"And one more, Kenzo. Papa Abiman must also come to our wedding."

"No Cleo!"

Meanwhile, one of the men who saw the departure of Kenzo's car could only look at him with a sad look, a few moments later a clear grain dripped down his face which now looked pale, pale, until a pat on his shoulder blew his daydream.

"Well, be patient all she needs is time to receive you."

"If time can't prove that he can accept me, I sincerely Inara. I'm sincere if he hates me for the rest of my life, I deserve such treatment."

"I've known Kenzo since he was a kid, he's a good kid. I'm sure he'll be able to accept you, be patient. Have you forgotten how Mama Vera used to hate you so much? Towards the end of her life, she accepted your apology because after all you are her flesh and blood, she is the mother who has conceived and given birth to you. And Kenzo, he's your flesh and blood. Although on their lips they say the word hate, I am sure in their hearts there must be love for you, Abimana. After all, the inner bond of parents and their biological children is strong, and cannot be underestimated."

Abhimana smiled at Inara's words. "Better now that you rest, Kenzo's getting married in a few days, you should be healthy again to attend their wedding."

"Will Kenzo accept my presence on her wedding day, Inara? I'm prepared to accept the consequences if she doesn't let me come on her wedding day because this is the price I've paid for my past crimes, a price that's been so expensive in my life's journey."

"You and Kenzo are on a journey together to find the answers to your life story, and there will be lessons learned from each journey you have traveled," inara then walked away from Abiman to cover the tears that had now flowed down her face.

'I cannot bear to see you every day tormented like this, Abimana. May your son forgive you as soon as possible, Inara murmured.

Nathan closes the Doraemon comic in his hand after seeing Clarissa who is now asleep. She then smiled as she stroked the face of Clarissa who was sleeping before her. He then looked at the clock on the wall of Clarissa's room.

'At one o'clock in the afternoon, maybe Kenzo and Cleo have gone home, but Clarissa is sleeping better I go to their house, no need to wait for tomorrow. The sooner the better, I can also prove to Papa if I have regretted all my actions, ' Nathan murmured. He then stroked back Clarissa's face which now looked more slumbering.

"Bad boy, take a break. I'll leave for a while, when you wake up I'll be here to keep you company again" Nathan said. He then exited Clarissa's room and rushed to the basement of the apartment to retrieve her car.

Not long after, he had arrived at Kenzo's house which still looked lonely. He then put his foot into the house.

TOK TOK TOK

A housekeeper opened the door. "Sorry, is Kenzo home yet?"

"They haven't come home yet, sir. But just a moment ago Mrs Amanda called me to prepare lunch, maybe they'll be home soon."

"Oh, okay. Can I wait inside?"

"Yes, of course. Please come in, sir,"

Nathan nodded his head and walked into the house. "Please sit down, sir. I'll get you a drink first" said the maid. He then entered the house, while Nathan was sitting in the living room playing his cell phone. He then shifted his eyes while looking around the house, until suddenly the net was fixed on a family photo in the living room, especially now he feels familiar with one of the young women in the photo. Nathan then got up from the couch and slowly approached the family photo. His heart stopped beating when he saw a woman standing next to Kenzo smiling so sweetly.

"Clarissa."
