My Son's Dad

TWENTY EIGHT

Cherryl was sad when Mark was taken away, even though he was not satisfied to meet his Papa. But the man in the nurse's clothes kept saying it was time to go back.

Cherryl wants to resist and is angry but he has promised to be a good boy, if he behaves mischievously maybe he will miss the opportunity to meet his Papa again later.

Cherryl didn't want that to happen so she just kept quiet and hugged her Mom as Markus was taken away.

Cherryl sees that her Papa also doesn't want to part, but Cherryl can't do anything.

Actually Cherryl does not know what Papa is sick so difficult to meet, but Cherryl still pray for Papa's good.

Papa, Cherryl will wait. So get well soon.

Adara rubbed the head of the soft Cherryl, “Smart Mom son.”

Adara praised Cherryl's mature attitude that did not cry because he had to separate from Mark, it was Adara and the others who cried.

The scene where Cherryl and Mark embrace is indeed heartwarming, because since Cherryl was born again this time he met Mark, and was embraced by Markus.

Adara even saw that Mark's hardened father was crying until a hiccup in his wife's arms.

“When can Cherryl see Papa again Ma?”

Adara smiled at her daughter, “Let's love, Cherryl be patient. It's not Cherryl seeing Papa anymore. But Papa himself will come to see Cherryl and give Cherryl a gift. Cherryl just need to be patient.”

Since that day Markus changed, he no longer plays with his dolls. He is no longer angry if doctors and nurses come to check on his condition.

Mark had also not thrown away his food, he had eaten himself properly. He thanked the nurse who delivered the food.

It looks like Cherryl's previous visit really brought a positive impact to Markus.

If Mark continues like this then it is likely that Mark will be discharged from this mental institution sooner.

Markus will be home when he's made sure he's healthy and safe to get out.

***

Adara crossed out the date on the calendar, next to which was Cherryl hugging her doll.

They're counting the days to Cherryl's 5th birthday.

“Let's Cherryl want Mama to give you what gift?”

Adara just smiled, the last time he visited Mark Mark the situation was much better. But Adara can't guarantee that Markus will be out of there any time soon.

Brak!

Adara and Cherryl were shocked when their door opened.

Appearing Lucas with a battered face, Adara suddenly ran over to his sister.

“Lucas... What happened to you?” adara asked frantically, he tried to help Lucas sit on the sofa.

“Om why?” tanya Cherryl was about to touch Lucas's face but her movements stopped when she saw his Om it started crying.

Is that sick? Cherryl hasn't even touched her.

Cherryl did not understand that Lucas was crying not because of the wound on his face but because of the wound in his heart.

“Cherryl dear, you play in the room first yes dear.” Adara subtly asks Cherryl to leave, neither does Cherryl see Lucas in this state.

Cherryl complied and went to her room.

Adara turns back on Lucas, he looks at Lucas seriously. “Actually you are why?”

Lucas was still crying, he gripped his chest tightly. “Tell me brother, what am I lacking? I gave everything, but why would he still prefer someone else who obviously hurt him. He just threw me away after what I've done for him.”

So this is about love?

Adara let out a heavy sigh, she just hugged her younger brother and patted him on the back hoping it could calm him down.

“Don't punish yourself just because of someone else's stupidity, if he doesn't want to be with you then why? You're handsome, you can find another woman who's more than him.”

Lucas shook his head, “If I could I've done it a long time ago brother, but the truth is the woman I love is her. If only I could choose whom I fell in love with.”

Adara does not really understand Lucas' relationship with his girlfriend.

But as far as Adara's lover Lucas is concerned is a good woman, seeing as how the woman once looked after Cherryl. But love cannot be forced.

“Good Markus, if you continue this maybe you can come out faster than I expected.” said the doctor after examining Markus, the corner of Mark's lips interested in forming a smile.

“This is all for sure thanks to your daughter, hopefully you can quickly meet and reunite.”
