Mommy ... I Want Daddy
Chapter 6 Ryu's Death

“Ryu ... “ Hana immediately took a tissue when she saw there was blood coming out of Ryu's nostril. Ryu nosebleed. Ryu raised his head upwards. Lucas who happens to be at home checks on Ryu. He takes a stethoscope and puts it on Ryu's chest. Lucas knows something's wrong with Ryu's body.

Lucas immediately takes Ryu to the hospital for further diagnosis. And the result is not good. Ryu's leukaemia was severe. Ryu conditions drop immediately. Ryu critical. He went to ICU again.

Again Hannah prayed. Asking for healing for Ryu, her youngest son. Ryu. But Ryu knew the time was not much. He can leave this world at any time. While lying down Ryu said,

“Ma ... Sorry Ryu.”

“Kak ..” Ryu looked at Rei and Rio.

“Grand ... Grandpa ..”

“Pa ... Keep mama.”

Ryu's heart rate reader rang. Ryu's heart was no longer beating. Ryu's dead.

“Ryu ... Ryu ..” Hana tries to wake Ryu up. But Ryu's body was silent.

“RYU ... RYU ..” Hana shook Ryu's body again. I hope Ryu comes back to life.

Ryu is buried next to Hana's mother's grave. Rei and Rio were crying. Lucy is no exception who is so close to Ryu even though they have just met. All the family members lost Ryu.

“Ryu ..” Hana's tears flowed again. Too soon for him to lose Ryu. Hana recalls the days of Ryu the baby, his stone days. And lastly when Ryu paints himself, the last painting of Ryu.

At Lucas' house ...

Hana saw Luke.

“INI ALL YOUR FAULT. IF ONLY YOU WANTED TO BECOME A DONOR SOONER, RYU WOULD STILL BE ALIVE.” Hannah blamed Luke. Even though Hana knew Ryu's death was fate.

Hana had asked Luke for help many times. But Luke doesn't want to. Luke always refused because he felt he had never slept with Hana.

Every day Hana shuts herself up in Ryu's room. Viewing paintings by Ryu. Lamenting Ryu's departure.

“Ryu ... Why stay in mama. Mama still hugged Ryu. Mama still wants to hear Ryu.” laughs Hana is still in Ryu's shadow.

“Ryu ..” Hana called out to Rio who was indeed very similar to Ryu.

“This Rio, Ma. Not Ryu.”

Other days ...

“Ryu ..” Hana saw a figure of Ryu walking towards the balcony of the room.

“Ryu ..” Hannah walked after the shadow. Hannah began to hallucinate.

Lucas takes Hana to a psychiatrist for a consultation. Doctors diagnosed Hana with depression. It seems like Hana has been stressed for a long time but the trigger for her depression is Ryu's death.

“If left Hana can commit suicide.” The psychiatrist told Lucas.

The psychiatrist then prescribes a sedative for Hana.

But still when he saw Ryu's belongings, Hana was instantly hysterical. Lucas took extreme measures. He got rid of all Ryu's belongings. Actually he was about to throw it away but Ryu's belongings contain memories of Ryu.

“You want to pack Ryu's stuff?”

“You I keep in warehouse.” Lucas starts moving Ryu's belongings.

Hana took back Ryu's stuff and put it in its original position. Hana only felt when she put Ryu's things in the place as usual then it was as if Ryu was still alive. It was as if Ryu still existed in this world. It was as if Ryu remained nearby.

“Hana ... Hannah ... listen to me. Ryu is dead.” Lucas tried to make Hana aware. Trying to get Hana to accept the fact that Ryu is dead.

“Ngak ... Nope .. Ryu is alive. Ryu is not dead.” Hannah was crying again. There are two persons in Hana's body. One person is aware that Ryu is dead. Who had seen Ryu had been buried. And one more person who refused Ryu's death. Who thinks Ryu is still alive.

Lucas knows Hana's condition can't be left alone. He has to do something. Because it could be that he will also lose Hana. And he doesn't want that.

Memories about Ryu ...

Still vividly remembered in the memory of Hana how Ryu as a child. Ryu who is the youngest child always looks more adorable than his brothers. With chubby cheeks. With a distended stomach like a mangrove. Although the youngest child but Ryu is not spoiled even sometimes Ryu behaves like a brother to his brothers.

Hana realizes Ryu's talent when Ryu picks up a pen and doodles the walls of their tiny house. When a child will cross out in the abstract. In contrast to Ryu his hands adeptly draw clearly what he wants to draw.

Even Ryu once created hyperrealism painting content. The art of painting the end result is like a camera shot with high resolution. So it is difficult to distinguish which is the original and which is a painting. Ryu spent six hours drawing objects that were indistinguishable from the original. And the video got a good reception on Rei’s world, her sister's YouTube channel.

Hana still remembers when she took Ryu to the painting race. The tools that Ryu brought were simple painting tools. Unlike the other contestants who carry painting tools that are branded and expensive. But it was Ryu's painting that became the champion.

Hana also wants to develop Ryu's talent by taking him to an art teacher. But in a short time Ryu had already mastered all the materials.

His art teacher was so amazed that he even gave the nickname to Ryu Little Van Gogh. The name of one of the famous painters that many people admire.

Hana also saves the proceeds from selling Ryu paintings for the cost of Ryu studying abroad in the hope that if Ryu studied outside he would be able to develop more. Because peseni abroad seems to be more appreciated than in the country.

But Hana's desire to take Ryu abroad cannot be realized. Ryu has abandoned himself forever. And had Hana been able to switch positions it would have been Hana who would have replaced Ryu. Ryu must stay alive. ~ as Hana thought.

Especially when Ryu was first exposed to leukemia. Many times Ryu had to undergo chemotherapy. And Ryu escaped death. But now Ryu is already in heaven with his grandmother.

Hana is becoming more dreamy now. Rei and Rio no longer cared about her grief at the loss of Ryu. Lucas knew he should have done something to treat Hana. It is not good for the mental Rei and Rio to continue to see his mother in a very down mental state.

Lucas eventually negotiated with his father and mother. He will take time off and take Hana on vacation to a place that might make Hana calm down.
