The Unmissed Family

Crushed (part 2)

"There's nothing Papa can do about Kai, because it's the best option." Finally that was all Rendra could explain to Kai.

The Emperor looked at Rendra with eyes wet with tears. "No, this is not the best choice! Should I divorce Pa? Emperor please find another solution Pa." The Emperor's voice was disjointed from crying as he pleased.

"There's no other way." Rendra bowed lethargic not daring to look at his son.

Hearing that the Emperor grabbed his own hair feeling frustrated. This is not what he wanted, the family he considered the most perfect family why suddenly there is a word divorce in it. Truly this greatly destroyed the Emperor's feelings, he had never imagined or even thought his family would be destroyed like this. He sat limp on the floor and leaned against the wall no matter what his eyes had begun to sink from crying.

"Son, let's go." Anika went into the room following the Emperor.

As if the Emperor had heard nothing, he neither answered nor turned his head towards Anika.

The sight sliced the heart of Anika and also Rendra, Anika was unable to stem the tears again she walked slowly approaching the Emperor who was sitting on the floor.

"Wake Kai up, we need to get out of here." Anika tried to persuade the Emperor she even pulled the Emperor's hand to get up from her seat.

The Emperor turned his head, "No Ma, Kai won't leave here!"

"Come on Kai, come with Mama this is not our home anymore." Anika once again pulled the Emperor's hand.

"No Ma, just Kai doesn't want to go!" The Emperor tried to rebel even to the point of crying like a boy who asked to buy a toy by his mother.

But what power, power Anika is not enough to make the Emperor rise, and also there is not the slightest movement from the Emperor.

"Wake Kai!" Once again Anika tried to persuade the Emperor, and in the same room Rendra also shed tears seeing the chaotic condition of the Emperor.

The Emperor finally got up from his seat before saying, "Whatever your problems are, Kai won't until you part no matter what!" Kai shouted quite loudly while turning to Anika and Rendra in turn. After saying so the Emperor walked quickly outside the room and slammed the door quite hard.

"Emperor!" Shouting Anika called out to the Emperor who had already disappeared behind the door.

Anika's head suddenly felt very dizzy as if it was spinning before her gaze darkened and she fell into a loss of consciousness.

"Ma, wake up Ma!" Kai sayup-sayup's voice was heard by Anika who was still half conscious.

Anika opened her eyes and the first sight she caught was the Emperor sitting by her side with his left hand clasping a glass of water. It looks like he after using the water to splash it on Anika's face is proven by Anika's face which has a little splash of water.

"Sleep first Ma, Kai get some water first." Kai said with a smile.

"Eh? That's all, son." Anika pointed at the glass in Kai's hand.

The Emperor turned to the glass and replied, "This is dirty Ma, the hand of the Emperor hehe already entered." The emperor then went to get some water.

"Kai, aren't you papa?" Anika asked the Emperor when the Emperor had come to bring new drinking water.

"What is the Emperor?" The Emperor replied while helping Anika to drink.

"Why? How was it that you cried." Obviously Anika after drinking.

"Hahahaha who was crying, Mama tuh who was not clear earlier. Shouting calling out to the Emperor." The boy replied with a chuckle.

"Nggigau?" Anika was astonished.

"Yes ngigau, earlier when Kai just came home from school Kai saw Mama again sleeping on this sofa continues suddenly Mama screamed calling the Emperor, Kai so panicked dong kirain why it turns out to be ngigau."

'So that was a dream? Thankfully.' Inner Anika felt relieved.

Anika gave a deep breath before saying, "So Mama's nightmare, Mama's dream-.."

"Eits stop Ma! Don't follow the story." The Emperor cut off Anika's words, his index finger touching Anika's lips to stop the middle-aged woman from speaking.

"Why?" Anika asked in astonishment while removing the Emperor's index finger from her lips.

"People say, if we have nightmares it can't be told to anyone, or it will come true." The Emperor replied, which made the Emperor smile.

"So any nightmare, don't think, it's just a dream." The Emperor again.

Anika smiled and rubbed the Emperor's hair gently, "Yes Mama also did not think. Yes there you took a shower, it stinks!"

"Hehe okay boss." The young man grinned the horse then went towards his room.

"Dreams of yes?" Anika spoke to herself while sighing a few times, it felt like she had just experienced a terrible tragedy.
