HALF MY SOUL

WE'VE TRIED

"His body ached as he went through it, but it seemed like his heart was much more sick. When the person he expected to be next to him was the one who hurt him the most" explained Ben who finally told King everything.

"But why did he never say it?"

"Are you going to believe what he said? don't you believe more in what you see?" said Ben.

"He hid his trauma alone, no one knew. Fortunately, I went to his house to check on how Mama was doing. He was in the room alone, like a frightened man. That's where I just found out something happened to her."

"Will it heal?"

"I can't guarantee. Early in college, he began therapy. Slowly but surely, he can control his emotions. Then re-emerged the last year he would graduate. After that he left, looking for a new atmosphere. I never heard from him until Anthony told me."

"It's all my fault. Will he forgive me?" ask King.

"Hanna is a good person, but about the heart no one knows. Try it," Ben patted King on the shoulder.

I'm telling you, if anything happens to Hanna, it's all because of you!

I've no more relationship with that woman, I won't! You better leave because I don't want to hear anything from you anymore.

Won't do? I held your word. Don't be sorry that you won't listen to me right now. If one day you find out the truth, and he does not want to come back to you, I hope you also have to accept sincerely what he is doing right now.

King recalled his conversation with Anthony at the time. If he had asked Hanna and Anthony first, and didn't believe what he saw, none of this would have happened.

"It's all my fault. If only ....," King held and squeezed his hair. He sat on a hospital park bench, looking up at the sky that afternoon.

Two pairs of eyes looked at him, "Is Brother King okay?"

"It's gonna be okay. He just realized his mistake."

"I don't understand your true relationship" Kimberly said, playing her finger on her chin.

"You don't need to understand, all you need to do is support your brother .. and tell him that he looks messy" whispered Anthony in Kimberly's ear, making his skin crumble. He could also feel that his face must have turned red because he felt the breath of Anthony in his ear.

"Biggod!!! ticklish ihhh!!!" kimberly shouted to cover her flushed face. Anthony laughs at Kimberly.

"Eat him let your own brother go first, I think he needs some time to think. Let's go see Hanna, "take Anthony.

Inside Hanna's nursery,

"Will Brother Hanna continue to sleep like this?" ask Kimberly to Anthony.

Kimberly held Hanna's hand, "Sister, get up. Don't you want to meet this sweet me? I miss you so much, but don't tell me to write again, cape. If Brother Hanna is awake, I will take you to meet Kristy and Lady, guaranteed you will laugh until you cry. Not even sister wants to sleep anymore, because every time they close their eyes, their faces must be imagined, it must be terrible. Come on, brother, wake up! I'll buy you some ice cream. I'm not going to ask for Hanna's sister as before. We can ask Brother Lee to pay for everything, we eat as much. Let him go bankrupt, right?"

"Sister, I don't know what kind of trouble Hanna's in, but trust me that none of this will ever be done if Hanna's just kept quiet like this. Get up and finish it all. We'll always be with brother, through it all" Kimberly gave Hanna a hug, making Anthony smile.

Kimberly felt Hanna's hand move, "Sir ..," Kimberly said, looking at Anthony.

"What's up, Kim?"

"Sir Hanna ... Hanna's hand moves, sister," Kimberly said.

"really? I'll call the doctor for a moment" Anthony pressed the button.

Before long, a doctor who used to deal with Hanna came. Anthony called Ben to tell him. Kimberly and Anthony are welcome by the nurses to come out, while they're going to check on Hanna.

"Kim, I'll find King first. You wait here."

"Yes, sister," Kimberly sat on the sofa that was provided not far from Hanna's nursery. As Kimberly looked around, she saw William running into the ICU next to Hanna's.

Before Kimberly sat down, she saw a gurney go inside with a doctor and a few nurses. Kimberly could see the worry on William's face, his appearance was also so tangled.

William walked back and forth. As he twisted his body, he saw Kimberly was looking at him, their eyes meeting. It made a strange noise on William, he walked closer to Kimberly who was sitting alone.

"Are you alone?"

"No," Kimberly replied briefly.

Shortly, a doctor came out of the ICU room to approach William. From the look on her face, Kimberly could read that it was not good news to be delivered, "Sorry Sir, we have tried to do our best. However, your daughter we cannot save."

William limp. Although Vivian was not her biological daughter, but this news was very painful for her. The boy he used to carry, he hugged and kissed, is no more. His encouragement when he came home from the office, after facing the many documents on the table. Her tears are flowing now.

Kimberly felt sorry for William. He held William and took him to sit down.

"Why? Why does it have to be like this? Why did God take it so quickly? Even I hadn't finished trying to get her to heal," William continued talking with tears on his cheeks, while Kimberly could only calm William down.

Platkk!!!
