I Married My Raise Child
Thorn in the heart
"alika. Your arrival is my dream, all this time I tried to open my heart unexpectedly it turns out I actually began to fall in love with you after that silly marriage
Love always comes unexpectedly. I used to fall in love with Lesa when we were both heartbroken, and now I love you when you were my wife.
Alika I hope you can love me soon too. Since I don't want a third person in our marriage, I'm afraid if you keep a heart in someone other than myself." Johan said in his heart while on his way to the hospital.
"Sir will the madam be able to understand your decision to release Miss Fani?" kafa (a confidant of Johan) asked him.
"Maybe he won't be able to accept that, but this is the best" Johan said in a flat tone.
"Since yesterday you haven't eaten anything, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm worried about Alika. He does not even eat or drink sleep nor is he okay? Plus I actually left him in this state" said Johan who felt anxious.
"Master should eat something that your master's face is so pale"
"Cafa. Can we go faster? I want to see Alika soon"
"Good sir."
Meanwhile, Alika still continues to be on the side of Dean who fainted due to the side effects of the injection earlier. The doctor had said that Dean would be fine but Alika was still worried.
When Johan reached Dean's room, Alika greeted him with a smile and tenderness. Alika asks Johan to sit on the sofa and presents him a glass of warm water.
"Are you sick?" Alika asked Johan who looked unwell.
"I'm fine... How are you?"
"Don't worry about me, Dean woke up and then he fainted after the injection.The doctor said during the recovery period he would be very weak and sensitive to cold air" Sahut Alika while tidying up Johan's suit.
"Allah eat something and rest" Johan said.
"You haven't eaten anything since yesterday, so how am I supposed to eat?" Sahut Alika who then sat next to Johan and put his head on the boat Johan.
"You stay up all night and don't eat anything you can get sick"
"I should be the one who is sick, but why does God always sow thorns on every trip of my life? Even to this day the thorn continues to stick in my heart" Alika said as she moved from her seat.
Johan's cold hand then reached out to Alika's small hand and stopped her. "I will pull out the thorn and heal the wound in your heart" said Johan who still held Alika's hand.
"The thorn is so deep and will probably stay there forever" Sahut Alika said with tears.
"What can I do to ease your pain?"
"I just want you and Dean to stay by my side, accompany me every step of the way, and smile for me. At least when I'm with you I want to forget this pain for a moment"
"Are you mad at your mother and half-sister?"
"More than angry I hate them so much"
"And your father?"
Johan then got up from his seat and grabbed Alika from behind. ''Alika cries if it can reduce the burden on your heart"
"When you shook my father's hand to kabul, from then on I gave my life to you and Dean.but when we started knitting the happiness of thorns it started to hurt you..." Alika said regretfully.
"It's not your fault, everything that happens is the will of destiny believe me if the three of us together happiness will always be there for us"
"I should have left you so you could come back to a quiet life"
"Never think like that again. You are the reason for our happiness, you are the reason why to this day I still stand here and Dean''
"Mom... Why do you want to go?" dean is still very weak.
Hearing that Alika and Johan immediately memorized Dean. Alika sits next to Dean and Johan is right behind Dean.
"Mother has promised, will always hug me if I'm sick but now I want to go" Dean said.
"forgive mom..."
"If you leave, then you'll only come back when I'm buried"
"Dean. don't say that. Mother will continue to be with you, no matter how many thorns hurt your heart but you are the cure of all mother's pain" Sahut Alika while looking into Johan's eyes.
"We are a family, and we will always be together" Johan added.
"Mom forgive me"
"Dean why are you apologizing?" Ask Alika who is confused.
"There's actually a secret I haven't told my mom yet..."
"Whatis that? Why do you have to apologize?"
"Actually, I'm not what mom looks like"
"What does that mean, Dean?"
"Mom, actually since I was a child, I had a heart defect, and that's the reason I got sick so often"
Alika who was surprised to hear that tried to remain calm. "Why are you saying it now?"
"Actually I've been wanting to say that for a long time, but Dean always forbade me even the day we went on a picnic Dean had a chest ache but he forbade me from telling you" Johan explained.
"But it can be turned off?" Ask Alika expectantly.
"No ma'am. This disease is a hereditary disease of my biological mother, ma'am... I don't know until when I can survive but I hope that at my age the three of us can always be together" Dean said as he grabbed Alika's hand and hugged her.
Johan put his hand on Dean's boat and then stroked his son's hair, which lay weakly helpless. "Dean has survived with the help of drugs, even though I know that I always busy myself with work without caring about the situation. until one day Dean suddenly fell unconscious while heading to the hospital alone but fortunately your father was there and immediately helped him two days of treatment finally Dean was only allowed to go home from the hospital. your father was the one who saved Dean's life back then, if it was five minutes late maybe Dean wouldn't be with us right now" Johan said.
"Lord, how sharp the thorn you sow in my life, how painful the thorn is in my heart" Alika said in her heart while putting Dean's cold hand on her cheek.
