I'M A BASTARD!

ETHAN'S TRAUMA

Ethan carries Aruna in his arms for some reason Ethan's heart is filled with sadness when he is about to leave China. Ethan was reminded of Fangya and Dongha.

"Papa I want to go somewhere" Ethan.

"Where?" Jason was confused.

"I want to go to the tomb of Fang's aunt and Dongha's uncle, they're Aruna's biological parents" Ethan.

Jason initially wanted to ban it but when he looked at the face of the boy who looked grim Jason also agreed. Luis leads the way to the grave of Aruna's biological parents.

When he was buried, Ethan knelt before the graves of the two friends he had just known. Ethan smiled meaningfully as he unfolded a bit of Aruna's blanket.

"Aunt Fang, and uncle Dongha. I Ethan came to visit your aunt and your husband have been waiting for this baby for fifteen years...

But when this child is born, you leave it. Auntie, uncle, I am so grateful that you are friends with me.

You've made me feel the true meaning of friendship. Aunt Fang, Uncle Dong I swear I'll take good care of Aruna

I will raise her with love and affection, I will make her my heir. Don't worry, I won't let Aruna face any problems in the future" Ethan.

Ethan lit incense and made offerings to Fangya and Dongha's tombs as per custom. After that Ethan went and took Aruna away from there.

Jason smiled proudly at his youngest son. Jason didn't expect Ethan to grow up to be this tough.

They were headed to America on a private plane. Ethan does not release Aruna even for a moment, he takes care of all Aruna needs alone ranging from changing diapers, bathing, making milk, sleeping, even Ethan does not let the maid approach Aruna.

It could be said that Ethan was traumatized by the tragedy of the previous Aruna kidnapping. Jason can understand that so he helps Ethan even though Ethan remains stubborn and unwilling to let anyone touch Aruna.

"Ethan you must be tired. Give Aruna to papa and you rest" Jason.

"Don't let me be okay..." Ethan holds Aruna.

Jason holds Ethan's shoulder he can understand the child's fear. Because Jason had previously experienced the same thing when Andrean was kidnapped, Ethan kissed Aruna's tiny hands and smiled meaningfully.

As the car that Ethan and Jason were riding in entered the main gate of the De Wilson Mansion, Karina and the others were already waiting for them on the front page of the Mansion.

Ethan gets out of the car with Aruna carrying Kerina running towards Ethan and immediately takes Aruna from Ethan's sling.

"My granddaughter. Dear grandma, are you okay, baby?! Ethan! how dare you hide such a thing from us!

If something happens to Aruna how?!. She's not even a month old what if she-" Karina couldn't go on she said and chose silence.

"Sorry ma I just don't want to make mama and the others worry" Ethan.

Karina set her breath to calm herself down. Arriving Aruna crying in Karina's arms, Ethan quickly retrieves Aruna from Karina's arms.

While in Ethan's arms at that time Aruna was silent and just stared at Ethan for a while and then went back to sleep.

"we go in first and talk inside" Andrean.

"Really... Ethan you must be tired of taking Aruna inside and get some rest" Evan.

Ethan takes Aruna into the mansion when the maid wants to help Ethan carry Aruna firmly Ethan refuses. Ethan takes Aruna to his room and puts Aruna to bed.

Ethan takes a shower and changes clothes after which he wipes Aruna's body with warm water and changes Aruna's diaper. Do not forget Ethan put on egg oil and baby moisturizer for Aruna so that the child's skin remains healthy and not irritated.

"Our Aruna rest first, I want you to be a little tired from the journey" Ethan took Aruna into his arms and fell asleep with the child.

"Karina controls your emotions on Ethan, pity him. After the kidnapping he doesn't trust anyone to touch Aruna.

He didn't even allow the maid to touch Aruna. He's a single father we need to better understand his feelings" Jason.

"What if we get Ethan married?" Carina.

"If we can do that, obviously I've done it, but Karina you know Ethan better than I do

She won't marry any woman you obviously know Ethan has trauma with a love affair. That's why when Aruna came into his life Ethan was so happy" Jason.

"It's all our fault because we Ethan had to see what he shouldn't have seen" Evan.

"You yourself how's Evan? is your trauma about love gone?" Andrei.

"I won't be able to heal, brother, because I've chosen to nurture that wound my whole life" Evan.

Ethan wakes up because Aruna is crying, Ethan quickly wakes up and makes milk for the child. After drinking the milk Aruna looked calm and looked at Ethan with her beautiful gaze.

"sad you saw papa hm?... Aruna we're going through it all together, son, you and papa we're both going to be together forever" Ethan.

Aruna smiled and Ethan became anxious when William was born, and Ethan did not dare to approach him. Ethan feels that he is an unlucky carrier and does not want his nephew to experience bad things because of him.

When William was one week old William was kidnapped while still in the hospital. Ethan saves William and it becomes the first time Ethan holds William.

Ethan had wanted to have children since then, but he did not want to get married. Ethan had thought of paying a surrogate mother to give birth to his child, but fate said otherwise because Aruna was present to be the answer to Ethan's dream.

"Darling papa is still sleepy let's go to sleep again, later we play" Ethan again lay beside Aruna and went back to sleep.

Karina goes into Ethan's room and sees the boy who is soundly asleep. While Aruna was still awake, Karina held Aruna and sat down beside Ethan.

"Ethan forgive mama son, mama's been yelling at you dear... Mom's son is already an adult and has even become a father. You're growing up fast but I'm sorry mommy can't be a good mom to you.

Mama became a failed mother because it made you experience many difficult times. Mama promised to help you raise Aruna well, she'd be a great kid like you" Karina said, kissing Ethan on the forehead and taking Aruna with her.
