Last Hope

Episode 40's

Kenji tightly grasps Ayumi's bandaged arm making Ayumi's body reflexively stiffen for fear that Kenji will hit her again.

..

"I'm not hungry." He said in a cold voice staring at Ayumi.

"Sorry I made you wait a long time. But it'll be over soon, just wait a minute." Ayumi said in a frightened tone that was hidden desperately.

"I'm not hungry." Kenji's fizzle repeating his sentence made Ayumi now tremble in fear, Kenji slightly felt there was a part of his heart that felt sliced to see Ayumi tremble in fear when he looked at her.

"Well, you're not hungry. I'm sorry to go back to the room." He said he passed Kenji and ran a little into his room.

"Why didn't you say it?" Kenji slightly shouted making Ayumi stop in place, he then slowly turned his head towards Kenji fearfully.

"Say what?" he said he dared to ask.

"WHY DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME YOU'RE NOT THE KILLER'S SON."

Kenji's shout made Ayumi a little surprised but still refused to give a response.

"ANSWER ME!" Kenji begins to lose his temper and approaches Ayumi who just looks down not answering.

"OOMUO!" Kenji yelled again to make Ayumi's body tremble again.

"You need someone to blame Kenji for, you need someone to vent your grief Kenji, and I-I.. I've decided to be all you need." He said he dared to look at Kenji with his eyes already glazed and held back the pain in his heart.

"What do you mean?" Kenji asked not understanding.

"If you knew I wasn't their son, you'd throw me out, wouldn't you? You're gonna ask me to leave 'cause you can't see my face."

"If you knew I wasn't their son, I'd never see your face again. And I can't let that happen, I've stayed this long just wanting to be with you, seeing your face that once loved me was more than enough for me. I let you do whatever you want to do to me. I'm even willing to die in your hands if you don't throw me out. I need you Kenjiaa." He said a little screaming made Kenji just fall silent listening.

"I want to hate you so much, but how can I hate you while my heart refuses to hate you."

"How can I hate you while I live with the guilt you're pointing at me."

"How can I hate you while I love you so much Kenjiaa!"

Ayumi ended her speech and immediately ran towards her room, she could no longer talk to Kenji, she was afraid that after this Kenji would throw her out and make her come back with no one, make him have to return to life a kara nobody to be recognized as a family.

"Ja-don't throw me out, I beg you." He who sat behind the door of his room, this fear even exceeded the pain he had felt during these years in his body.

A few days later, the atmosphere in Oh's house seemed quiet as usual, there was no cry of Kenji berating Ayumi, no scream of pain Ayumi because Kenji beat her every morning, even some of the maids at Kenji's house guessed that their great master and Ayumi had already begun to mend their relationship.

But the estimate is only an estimate, because unlike the shadow of the housekeeper Kenji who said there was no angry voice Kenji and the cry of Ayumi was because both their employers began to improve their relationship it was wrong. The silence that has occurred for a few days at Oh's residence because Kenji himself decided not to go home for almost a week. After his last conversation with Ayumi that night, Kenji avoids Ayumi and chooses to leave his own house and stay at a hotel not far from his office.

It was realized by Ayumi who then felt bad because her guess did not miss a bit about Kenji's attitude if she knew he was not the son of two people who she considered as her parents. Ayumi knows Kenji is avoiding her, but she doesn't know Kenji will be leaving her home because of her presence in Kenji's house.

Cklek!

Ayumi had just walked out of her room, she then turned her head towards Kenji's room and smiled bitterly knowing that Kenji's room was still the same as it was a week ago, deserted, uninhabited, this indicates that Kenji has not yet returned to his home.

"Ofumi ? Where are you going?"

Keiko raised both eyebrows anxiously, but since she knew Ayumi was still in a state of mourning over the loss of her baby, it wasn't good for her to go out and not continue to stay at home, that was what Keiko thought.

"Alright, but you have to eat first." Keiko slightly pushed Ayumi to the dining table to finish the breakfast she had made for Ayumi.

"Gomawo Keii." Ayumi smiled happily, she then ate the breakfast Keiko had made, afraid that this was the last time she could taste Keiko's cooking.

Keiko herself somehow has disturbing feelings about Ayumi, but then she throws away thoughts about her who worries about Ayumi so much, because for now he was very relieved Ayumi seemed to have been able to accept the situation even though she knew very well deep in Ayumi's heart she was destroyed and only kept her sadness for herself.

Geck! Geck!

"Lake in."

There was the sound of the office door being knocked on and featuring Kenji's secretary who immediately got a sharp look from Kenji "What's wrong? I told you I didn't want to be disturbed." Kenji growled without looking at his secretary.

"Sorry director, but there's someone outside waiting for you." Secretary Choi told Kenji.

"Say I'm busy." His orders still don't see his secretary.

"But this woman has been waiting since the director's morning." He says back to tell Kenji, this time Kenji looks at his secretary with a gaze asking "Who?" ask again.

"His name is Ayumi, she said there's something important to talk to you about."

Kenji slightly turned his back in surprise to find Ayumilah waiting for him in his office "Send him in." He said he gave the order and the secretary nodded in understanding.

Shortly after his secretary left, Kenji's room was knocked back.

"Lake in." His words and the door was open displaying the figure of Ayumi, a figure he had not realized began to miss because Kenji had not seen the face that was always smiling. But Kenji frowned to realize Ayumi's face was unusually pale, at first Kenji guessed Ayumi was just frightened, but because he saw her face was too pale, so he could see her face, he believes that Ayumi is ill and not in good shape.

"What business are you doing here?" he said that the cold back greeted Ayumi.

"It's no big deal Kenji, sorry to interrupt your time." Ayumi said timidly.

"If so quickly go." he said coldly making Ayumi must again endure the pain in his heart.

"Why don't you come home?"

Without lingering any longer, Ayumi asked looking at Kenji tearfully.

Kenji was a little surprised by Ayumi's question, he then looked at Ayumi who was already trembling in fear with her pale face. "It's none of your business." Her his frown made Ayumi only able to smile bitterly.

"Go home Kenji, I beg you. You can't leave your house just because you want to avoid me."

With the rest of the courage she had, Ayumi walked over to Kenji who was still staring intently at him.

"I said it's none of your business." His fizzling felt and realized that Ayumi was a fragile figure who was very stubborn.
