Last Hope

Episode 49's

"Go home and raise your son. Not everyone's as lucky as you." Ayumi crouched down and sounded very shaky in every word.

"I have to how? My husband doesn't want his son, he doesn't want our baby."

And the woman's statement again made Ayumi's face hardened and felt the life lived by this woman was the same as hers, the difference was never in Ayumi's mind to leave the baby if she was given the opportunity to be with the baby at that time.

"You know, ma'am, I just lost my baby." Lirih Ayumi bowed to tell the woman.

"And just like you, my husband probably won't accept our baby because it's my son, and my husband-he hates me so much with his life, but then I realize that I misjudged my husband. She may hate me, but she never hated our baby.. My husband wants our son. I saw her crying when I didn't tell her about my pregnancy. And he looked paled when the doctor said we lost our flesh blood." Ayumi stared blankly somewhere.

"But…." He looked at the woman with a disappointed look inside.

"If my husband didn't want our baby, it would never be easy for me to leave our baby. You know why?" ayumi's question made the woman shake weakly.

"It hurts a lot when you lose your flesh and blood. You'll never be able to live your life well, only guilt gnaws at you and you know what hurts even more?" ayumi asked shook and looked very sad.

The woman looked at Ayumi with concern and shook her head weakly again.

"Laughter your son is just your dream from the day you lost your flesh and blood, madam. And I swear it kills you slowly. Because that's how I feel."

"It hurts so much that every time you breathe out, only the pain and stress you feel." she sat down and seemed to be in so much pain holding back her longing for her dead baby.

"Ayumi.." muttered Kenji who was so surprised to hear all Ayumi's narrations.

Kenji could suddenly feel confident that he could feel the loss that Ayumi felt. Either way she also lost her own flesh and blood, she also felt very lost like Ayumi, she might be able to let the baby go, but then he also realized that he could never lose Ayumi.

He was so sorry to hear all Ayumi's words. He thought Ayumi had been fine all along, but she was wrong. Ayumi-.his wife is in real pain from losing their baby. And Kenji bet, the pain Ayumi felt when she lost her baby outweighed the disease that was eating away at her current body.

"I beg you to raise your son even though your husband hates him. I beg you." Pinta Ayumi made the woman smile and look at Ayumi.

"Thank you Miss.. Thanks for coming on time, I-I promised to take care of my son from now on, I don't want to lose my baby.. It never will. Thanks Miss.. I'm sorry."

And the woman went running to hold her baby tightly in her arms, Ayumi smiled very enviously at the woman who was given a chance with her baby while she was not.

"Jasmine.. Are you all right?" the head nurse asked Ayumi who was still sitting limp on the floor.

Ayumi smiled and wiped away her tears quickly, she then woke up and staggered slightly as her head throbbed again. "I hurt the head nurse. But don't worry, I've healed seeing you." He said he teased the old woman who looked worried about Ayumi.

"Is it true that you're okay yum." she said touching Ayumi's face.

"Yes sister I'm fine." Ayumi said hiding her trembling voice.

"O it.. What do you mean this orphanage is closing soon. Are they gonna keep displacing this place?" ayumi asked realized the head nurse's previous remark.

The head nurse could only smile softly and nod confirming Ayumi's "Ya Ayumi's words.. We have to find a new place, this place will be evicted, and if I'm going to defend this place, I'm going to have to pay a lot of money, and you know our finances aren't very good." He said a bitter laugh told Ayumi.

"Suster chief, I promised to help you. I'll ask my friends for help, if I need to I'll work to death so I can help you." Ayumi hugged the head nurse at a glance and reassured the middle-aged woman.

"Thank you for being so kind to Ayumi, but we had no choice but to pack up and hurry away.I promise I'll keep Hyerin and the others." Said the chief nurse telling Ayumi.

"Aniya's.. You can't leave me a chief nurse. I'll come back and bring you some money, I promise." Said Ayumi who was already very scared that her family in the orphanage left her alone.

"Thank you son. Thanks." Said the chief nurse bringing Ayumi to enter and meet the other foster children.

Kenji listened to all Ayumi's words from the beginning including about this orphanage that would be evicted and leveled with the ground. Somehow seeing them all was so good to Ayumi, made her think she had to do something.

Kenji then picks up his phone and calls his secretary.

"Find out about a remote orphanage south of Myeongdo. And make sure that no one can disturb the place. Do whatever it takes."

Said to give orders to her secretary and close her phone, Kenji decided to wait for Ayumi who was still talking in the head nurse's room.

Ayumi continued walking down the outskirts of Seoul, as if she was about to go somewhere because she stopped by the flower shop and bought three bouquets of flowers and held them in her hands, Kenji guesses where Ayumi will go next because Ayumi is back on the bus and she keeps following him.

Kenji slightly widened to recognize the place that Ayumi was visiting at the moment.

Yes, when he got off the bus and went back down the road, Kenji knew very well that his wife was heading to the funeral of his parents.

Seen occasionally Ayumi looked back, maybe she felt followed but she smiled ignoring him because soon will meet with both Kenji's parents.

"Eomma..Appa~"

Sapa Ayumi crouched down and placed each one of the bouquets of flowers on Kenji's parents' grave, Kenji just kept quiet and continued to listen.

"I'm sorry I just got to visit you after all this time. Too many things have happened to me." He muttered looking right and left alternately stroking a gravestone that read each of Kenji's parents' names.

"You know what the doctor said about my illness? It's tumor..They said I had surgery, and they said surgery didn't guarantee my recovery. So what am I supposed to do?" ayumi asked softly to make Kenji clench his hand automatically listening to Ayumi's fear.

"I'm sorry I complained to you. I want to tell you something about eomma and appa." Ayumi's voice turned out to be as normal as possible.

"Me and Kenji-. We both slept in the room again." He said he smiled and sounded very happy.

"Eomma and Appa must pray for our relationship to improve. I miss my Kenjiku so much." He shed it with tears that he deliberately let it drip.

"Ah.. Sorry I came back crybaby." He said wipe the tears fast.

"Eomma.. Starting tomorrow, I'll visit the three of you every week. I promise." He said he said he kissed each of Kenji's parents' gravestones.

"Third?"

Kenji sat down when Ayumi said she would visit the three of you every week. After that he saw Ayumi standing while holding a bouquet of flowers left one and walking down the cemetery not far from the tomb of his parents, his parents, then before long he went back to squatting putting flowers on one of the meals that Kenji guessed was made by Ayumi herself.

"My son.."

Kenji again felt himself squeezed to hear Ayumi greet the tomb he was talking to at this time.it turns out this is the tomb of their son that Ayumi made herself because it looks messy but beautifully arranged.

"I'm sorry that I can only make such an ugly resting place for you, son. Eomma just wants to make you feel comfortable and make me have a place to talk to you." She kissed the gravestone with the words My little angel which she wrote with her own hands.

"Are you playing there, son?" tanya Ayumi looked up at the sky.

"Eomma wants to see you my son." He said he smiled again and kissed his daughter's headstone.

"Eomma there's news that's either good or bad for you, son. The doctor said that she had a tumor, which means she could catch up with you and play with you at any time. Are you happy?" ask Ayumi stroked the baby's headstone.

"But eomma is afraid son. eomma is afraid of not being able to see your app anymore. Eomma's so afraid of not being able to meet your app….."

Ayumi turned her back when she felt her arm being pulled tight enough and now she felt someone she knew was kissing her gently.

Kenji could not bear to hear Ayumi who kept saying she could leave at any time and catch up with their son. She couldn't hear more and decided to do something that would keep Ayumi quiet by forcing her to stand up and kiss her tiny lips that looked pale from the cold.

Ayumi herself automatically closed her eyes and smiled as she realized her husband was here, impregnated both her parents and their child and was kissing him softly, as if to prove to both Kenji's parents and their child that their relationship is fine, make him grateful for the relief and join in replying****soft husband.

Kenji further deepens his kiss and, without Ayumi knowing, Kenji has decided to do something he should do when they lose their baby, something she shouldn't have done to Ayumi by hating and beating her, something that Ayumi eventually had to bear the consequences of her own cruelty.

Kenji has decided to re-open his heart to Ayumi who has infinite patience for him, he is blinded only by misunderstanding, anger and unreasonable hatred for Ayumi. And from today, Kenji promises to get back Ayumi's love, he promises himself to start all over again with Ayumi, Because Kenji is well aware that deep down he never stops loving Ayumi.

And Kenji did it in front of their father, mother and son who are three people who mean a lot to him and Ayumi.
