Her morning.
All are now gathered to see Keisha who is still sound with her sleep makes Selena and William's heart warm.
"I feel like I really still can't believe, if in front of us this is a woman who is so strong," said Selena who returned to tears to make William immediately calm the wife.
"It's Selena, I know it's heavy and we shouldn't look weak in front of Keisha. We should be able to strengthen her remember that," counseled William who tried to strengthen Selena's heart.
"I know, but my tears just want to come out if I see them. Even by falling asleep like this I still feel sorry," Selena said.
After a few minutes when Selena began to neutralize her feelings, Keisha woke up.
Her body squirmed and slowly her eyes opened to see the first sight of how she was looked at affectionately by Selena and William.
"You up, son? Is your sleep good?" asked Selena who approached Keisha who seemed to be smiling with her pale lips.
"Hmm so is Ma, have you been waiting for me?" ask Keisha that's bad.
"No kid, we just got here, too" Selena lied.
"Ah so apparently, I guess--"
"Here son, I brought porridge to myself. You have to have breakfast now, since last night you haven't eaten anything. So stop babbling and eat, Mama will bribe you" said Selena who opened the food box she accidentally brought from home.
Keisha smiled this time and was given a lot of affection when he was sick. From the time Keisha got sick she would lock herself in a room, take medicine and even fast because she was too sick to get up and move.
No one used to care about him, though, no one ever wanted to know what Keisha was feeling and Keisha could only feel the pain alone without knowing where she could share her grief.
Grief, sadness and disappointment have become the daily food of Keisha. Even after getting married, she was still given pain that was so painful that even Keisha wanted m4ti because of it.
"Why dreamy son?" asked Selena who had seen Keisha just daydreaming looking at the two who seemed to be sitting on the edge of the hospital bed.
"No Ma." With a quivering tone Keisha replied and this time her tears escaped just like that.
Keisha thought no one would care about her current state. In fact, now stood two people of different ages with him looking at him and smiling so sincerely for him.
"Hey, why are you crying, baby?" ask Selena who immediately wiped Keisha's tears.
Keisha chuckles at feeling funny at what makes her triumph now. "No Ma, it's just that I'm overwhelmed that there's still people who care about this poor woman,"
"What are you talking about, son? Who is poor? You are not a poor woman but you are our dear daughter" said William who stroked Keisha's soft black mane.
"Hurry and open your mouth and eat this" Selena said.
•••
Now at lunchtime, Selena went for a while to give Keisha some food. Initially Selena will ask someone to take care of Keisha but the woman refused on the grounds that she now feels fine. Not wanting to force Selena to agree to that and still ask Keisha to be taken care of by a doctor who is outside.
And of course William is now in the company to deal with the problems in his son. Fortunately William was smart to cover that problem with logically acceptable reasons.
Large footsteps approached the door of Keisha's room. "Are you--" the doctor's speech was cut off looking at the face of the man he had just spoken to.
"I'm the woman's husband inside" he said and guess you were right. It's Aldrich.
Aldrich came in after saying that seeing Keisha rubbing her stomach made Aldrich frown. What is this
"What are you doing?" asked Aldrich who surprised Keisha immediately stopped his activities rubbing the stomach.
"Tu-sir?"
"I asked what were you doing?" ask Aldrich again.
'Obviously she rubbed her stomach, there's no way she's pregnant, right? How can a person become pregnant if taking contraceptive drugs?' thought Aldrich who dismissed the thought if the woman in front of him is pregnant.
That's not what's important for Aldrich to think.
"Why are you here, by the way?" asked Keisha who was trying to shift the subject to see Aldrich who had been silent earlier.
"I'm just here to tell you about the gono-gini treasure. Take it easy, I'll give you a treasure that won't make you poor for 2 generations, how?" aldrich bargained as if there were no problems whatsoever between them. Boldly and guiltlessly Aldrich again incised a wound for Keisha.
"I know if you must be feeling dizzy thinking about how your next life is, right? Take it easy I know that every thought of that woman must be about treasure, right? I've already told this to Hans and--"
"Enough sir! You just treat me like this! I know my position, and well you don't have to bother giving me your treasures that probably won't be of any use to me. You should keep it well because your lover may need more of your property than I am your ex-wife!" scowl Keisha that this time she's going to fight.
Aldrich alluded to the slanted smile looking down at this woman in front of him. "Ck! Lowly woman! I've been fine coming here to give you a chance to-"
"For what, sir? A chance to humiliate me?! Chance to hurt me again, huh?! Do you not see yourself, you are much inferior to me!" hina Keisha who made Aldrich immediately silenced at once furious.
"Pull those words! Do you think having my parents behind you can make you want to be with me, huh?!" snapped Aldrich whose hand was already floating about to slap Keisha.
Keisha closed his eyes before Aldrich returned to consciousness. Nah! He could not hurt this woman in front of him, just seeing her fear alone had already made his defense collapse.
"I didn't hurt you because I remembered my parents, if I didn't then I would have completely eliminated you by now. And well one more thing, stay away from my family because we are now no longer in a relationship," pressed Aldrich who went straight from there.
Aldrich disappeared from behind the door, Keisha crying. Yes the woman was crying, imagining how she insulted Aldrich made her regret that she should have been silent. Shut up and accept Aldrich's insults. Keisha feels guilty about it but also hurts when Aldrich's insults are also thrown from his mouth making him also hurt. Looks like they're breakeven.
"Pardon my mother, son, sorry for insulting your father in front of you" said Keisha who rubbed her stomach gently with tears that had soaked her cheeks.
Selena had just seen Keisha crying making her approach Keisha who seemed to be falling back.
"Dear, Keisha? Why are you crying, son?" selena asked worriedly.
"No Ma--- Keisha just doesn't feel well" she lied.
"Where? Where it hurts, let Mama call the doctor dear." Selena was about to go call the doctor who was outside but was immediately stopped by the hand of Keisha who held her.
"There's no need for Ma, Keisha is fine now" Keisha said.
Selena sighed and smiled and gently stroked Keisha's cheeks that were still wet from the trail of tears. "Prophey baby, Mama knows it's heavy. But Mama's sure you can."
Keisha nodded slowly and returned Selena's smile with a sweet smile. To be honest his heart is really not willing to let go of Aldrich, his love is too big but the pain is much more and inevitably he must choose to let go of his love.
William had just arrived at the hospital to see the scene where Selena was tightly hugging Keisha who looked sad and slumped back.
"Why are my two favorite women?" ask William who is trying to melt the atmosphere.
"Will? Why did you come home so soon?" ask Selena who immediately let go of Keisha's embrace when she realized William's arrival.
"Emm, I love to deliver this," replied William who offered a letter. Well your guesses are right back. It's a divorce letter.
"What's this?" ask Selena.
"The divorce papers of Al and Keisha," replied William who was staring at Keisha who showed no expression of her.
"Darling--"
"I'm sorry Keisha just told Mama and Daddy this. But Keisha divorced him yesterday so Daddy doesn't have to bother taking care of my breakup" Keisha replied with a smile.
