Maybe I Love You
12. Because of You (I'm Awakened)
Two days later, Minho contacted Sena for not being able to keep his promise for today.
“LA?”
“hm, there's something important there so I have to go. Sorry I cancelled our appointment today.”
“I'm surprised you suddenly said you were leaving. I'm almost ready.”
“I will replace it after I go home later.”
“arraseo, josimhae!”
After the connection was cut Sena went down to take a snack, because not so go Sena prefers to watch a movie in her room.
since his return from Nami Island and Jaeha asked him many things to the point that his emotions make the atmosphere in this house so less wearing for him, he was annoyed at Jaeha, still. but he also had a feeling that told him not to behave like that to Jaeha, but he did not know where to start to normalize the atmosphere as before?!
as soon as Sena passed by suddenly aunt Hanmi handed the house phone to the girl, “there's a phone for you madam.”
Sena received it, “from whom?”
Aunt Hanmi did not reply, “yeoboseyo!”
“yeoboseyo!” Sena did not hear the answerso that I repeat the question again
“yeobo-“
“Sena-ya.”
The soft voice that called out to her just now made the two girls eyes redden, her body sculpting with an expression that was hard to decipher..
“how are you doing, son? You're okay, right?”
Sena did not answer. It was like a bolt of lightning in broad daylight for him.
"Well, this is. this is mom. mom. I'm sorry to you Sena-"
“don't contact me again!”
“Sena, wait a minute—“
Sena hung up her phone and immediately ran out, and at that time Jaeha just returned from the office after overtime all night.
“where are you going?”
But Sena did not reply as if she did not hear and did not see Jaeha who had just come.
Jaeha saw aunt Hanmi come out worriedly, “what's the matter? what happened to him?”
“a woman contacted him, but Nonya immediately cried after receiving her phone. I'm very worried.”
Jaeha immediately ran after Sena, he found Sena in the playground of the girl sitting on a swing he knew Sena was pretending to be strong even though Sena really wanted to cry at this time,
'dumb base' inner Jaeha
Jaeha stepped over to Sena, Jaeha saw Sena rubbed her cheek wet with tears several times.
Jaeha looked at Sena who looked down, long enough Jaeha noticed Sena in a position like this until finally the girl looked up to realize her existence.
Sena only realized that Jaeha was in front of her, quickly her hands wiped away the rest of her tears.
“you're home?” asked Sena with her voice.
“unto when?”
“mwoga?”
“till when will you ignore your mother?”
“what is your business? Anyway you said I should think of your mother as my own mother, that's enough for me.”
“then why are you crying? Didn't you miss him?”
“I don't miss him, I hate him I don't miss him at all! What should I miss from a person who has no regard for his daughter at all!? What?!!!”Sena who initially did not want to be angry at Jaeha now can not control her emotions anymore.
Jaeha was actually annoyed by Sena's stubborn nature about her mother, but if Jaeha was emotional his situation would get worse.
“you sure your mother never cared about you? never noticed you? Or are you yourself selfish and stubborn?”
“buktinya when I asked him to come he never came, when I was in an accident he did not appear at all to give attention and affection to me. Do I have to die first so he can come see me?”
“jaga speak! You think your mom really never met you? You think your mom really never cared about you? are you sure it's your birthday that Grandma gives you presents? You sure your mother never came when you were in an accident, your graduation or at our wedding?”
“dia's coming! he comes to see you at every important moment in your life. The gift that you have received on every birthday is a gift from your mother. He also came to our wedding. I've met him.”
“I said if you want to comfort me you better go because I don't need it are you deaf?!”
“I'm not kidding and I'm not comforting you, but I'm telling you the truth so you don't misunderstand your mother and so you don't hate her anymore!”
“if he did come why didn't he see me? Why is he always hiding from me?!! Why?!” the girl's cry broke and Jaeha felt sad, he actually felt guilty for talking in a high tone to Sena, but he had to do it.
“because he's afraid you'll hate him even more! He knew you'd never want to see him. He knows you hate him so much. She said she was too afraid to see you because she wasn't a good mother, he can't be around you he can't keep you company growing up he blames himself for being a bad parent to you, he knows everything you've been through he knows everything. Your mother wanted to hug you when you were hurt but she was too afraid to meet you she didn't have the courage. Your mother misses you so much, she wants so much to hug you.”
Sena was no longer strong enough to hold back her tears, all this time she always thought badly about her mother. He is selfish, maintaining hatred rather than figuring out what is really going on. All her fault, her mother didn't want to see her either because she was all her fault.
Jaeha hugged Sena the girl's cry became more and more in his arms, he recalled the conversation after his marriage with his mother Sena.
“I know it's the first time we've met and met face to face. I used to remember you guys being together a lot, but I could only look at you from a distance. I don't deserve to be a mother, do I?”
“then why didn't you meet Sena? Sena misses you so much even though she keeps saying that she hates mom.”
“I have no courage because I was never by his side, I left when I should have accompanied him to grow. I was too embarrassed to meet her and admit that I was her mother. My husband and I are too busy with my work to the point that I can't meet him when he needs me.”
“then why don't you just meet her now? Sena was looking for you.”
“i don't want to ruin her happy day, she won't want to accept my presence. He would cry if he saw me. And I don't want to see her cry.”
“didn't it hurt more if he cried alone in the middle of the night because he missed you? She tried hard even though she had to envy seeing her friends traveling together with her mother.”
Hwaran was speechless at Jaeha's words, “if mom does feel guilty at least meet him, contact him. he was angry does not mean he was really angry at mom. He was just too confused to express his happy feelings, he was just confused how to say that he missed you so much. Are you going to let Sena stay alone? Are you going to let Sena cry in the middle of the night because she misses you? Do you really not want to hear her calling you mom and hugging mom?”
Hwaran sobbed, “I know you're a good man, take care of him for me don't let him cry alone. I trust him to you Jaeha-ya.”
“sorry because I left you alone.” Muttering Jaeha, he kissed the top of Sena's head his hand gently rubbed the girl's back trying to calm her down. Jaeha was also sad to see Sena crying like this, her strange and right-handed behavior all this time was the cover she had stepped on to cover up all her sadness.
“forgive me, Sena-ya.”

Minho passed through the hospital hallway quickly accompanied by a nurse, the nurse showing room number 403.
As soon as he entered he saw a girl who had not woken up from her coma since a year ago.
“what will he be aware of?” ask Minho
“doctor says there's a chance he'll come to his senses. You want to take her to Korea?”
“not now, I will wait for him to realize first.”

Madam Park waits for Sena and Jaeha restlessly, let alone aunt Hanmi saying that Sena is crying and just leaves. “what exactly happened?”
As soon as he saw Jaeha and Hyerim enter, Madam Park immediately approached her daughter-in-law, “you're okay?”
“mother when did you come?” ask Jaeha
“i'm fine ma'am. You don't have to worry.”
“aibi Hanmi says that crying and leaving just like that, what happened?” Sena saw her mother-in-law's worries
“ak-me... I seem to be coming months so I'm a little sensitive.”.
“then you must quickly go.” Jaeha had expected this to happen, surely his mother had come to talk about their honeymoon.
“ne? Gone off? Go where?” Sena did not understand what her mother-in-law was talking about
“mom I have lost we will take care of it by ourselves, mom does not need—“
“you will go according to schedule right?”
“what the hell? Went where? You know something?” Sena looked at Jaeha, but Jaeha turned his gaze in the other direction.
“I've already handed over your honeymoon ticket to Japan to Jaeha, there is an autumn festival there you will definitely love it.” Madam Park smiled happily
“n-ne? Bu-honeymoon?” Sena gawking at the words of mistress Park, ‘what else now?’
Sena cheered on Jaeha because again he was not told anything, “ibu told me not to tell you.” Jaeha's Whispe
“you should have told me! Basic!” said Sena while whispering
“you can not refuse I have prepared everything, 2 more days you have to leave. No other reason you guys understand?!”
