Our Fate
Striving 4's

"I won't be home until Appa has approved of us." Said Sora umpteenth time when Yoongi tried to persuade him to return home immediately.

"But not by getting out of the house like this, it's the same as running away from trouble." Reply to Yoongi who did not give up on Sora who was very stubborn at the moment.

"But Appa kicked me out."

"He didn't throw you out, you left the house."

"But Appa's been rude to me, I'm so lazy to go home."

"What?" Asked Yoon-gi who was wondering why the story had suddenly changed.

Sora was speechless as Yoon-gi asked, she couldn't keep her mouth from telling the part before she left from Kang Dae's house landing her palm on Sora's face.

"Try telling me in detail what really happened until you left the house. And don't try to lie." Yoongi asked in a threatening tone, at the moment she was not playing around.

"Oppa slapped me, that's what got me running away." Sora answered Sora's question in a very slow voice.

The sound of rough breathing from a Yoon-gi, he looks resigned to a troublesome girl but is loved very much. Want to catch up with Sora soon to Indonesia but can not because the schedule is quite solid.

"Sora, listen to me." Yoongi's voice sounded like someone was holding back his anger. "Now, you better go home, apologize to your father. I don't want to just because I you fought your father, I don't like that. We still have time to talk about this all right."

"I'm..."

"I understand how you feel, but leaving home is not the best solution."

"I can't."

Yoongi held back her emotions from getting carried away stubbornly from Sora, since when did Sora act childishly like this.

"I won't cover the cost of your stay again if you don't come home today." Finally, Yoon-gi can't bear to threaten Sora.

It had been three days that Sora was in the Hotel where he was resting, during which time also Yoongi persuaded him to go home. When Sora says he ran away from home and needs Yoon-gi's help, the man is happy to help him. Sora is grateful that Yoon-gi was able to help her that night, otherwise she would have been a vagrant for not bringing anything with her out of the house.

Sora is also a little upset that Yoon-gi threatens not to help anymore, but she must know that she used Yoon-gi's money to pay for her hotel room.

"All right, I'll be home tonight." Reply Sora with a lethargic tone.

"That's my new girl."

Kang Dae was staring at his food without even trying to touch it, Kang Rani who had since noticed her husband threw a glance at Han. Ever since Sora left Kang Dae's house, she has lost her spirit, while Han is forced to resign back to Korea because her brother suddenly ran away from home.

Kang Rani touches Kang Dae's arm and gets the attention of a man who looks young despite his advanced age, Kang Dae immediately devours his food because he does not want others to know what he is thinking.

"If Appa is indeed affectionate with Nuna, it will definitely give her the blessing to marry." Han's words became the opening chatter of that suffocating dinner.

"You don't know anything, finish your food." Reply Kang Dae coldly.

"If Appa knew everything, Nuna wouldn't run away like this. If he really understood her, he would know how tortured she was with Appa's demands."

"What are you talking about?"

"Oppa, please listen to Han this time." Han placed the chopsticks beside his eating bowl and looked at his father seriously.

"During this time Nuna always tried to make Appa proud of herself, Nuna was special, when she had to enjoy her youth she had to withstand pressure from Appa so she could be proud of the Appa family."

"Has Appa thought how hard he was until he was depressed?"

"What do you mean?" Ask Kang Dae.

"Nuna has been psychosomatic since she was in High School." Han's honest confession had to be dismantled so that his father could understand Sora's feelings.

Kang Dae and Kang Rani are very surprised by the reality heard from his son, Kang Rani closes her mouth with her hands and her eyes begin to shed tears.

"Han already knew what happened how Appa was able to get out of Korea and settle in Indonesia, and that's why Appa forced Nuna to continue learning so that all her achievements could be a weapon to boast to the Appa family. Then hope they will regret having already thrown away Sora who has a myriad of achievements? What if Nuna can't?"

"Thank God Nuna has been special since birth, and she is also not a fool to understand the situation that occurred. Didn't Appa try to cure his trauma? Or find out what difficulties he had while studying and continuing to learn? The pressure from Appa that brought that depression."

Han's face had started to turn red as he held back the emotions that were being slowly evoked to his father, while his mother was already crying after hearing Han's confession.

"Nuna loves Appa very much, even if she never complains about Appa's demands. He had always faced his own predicament, and one thing Appa had to know, he was not a dissident child."

"Just because he's in love he's called a dissident? He also deserves to be happy. He is struggling to find his happiness. Know Appa, he always held himself back from letting you down. She's the greatest Nuna I've ever had."

Han rubbed his face when he would feel his tears could not be dammed anymore, Han felt relieved to be able to convey what his brother had suffered to both parents. Han dropped his head on the table, then cried. His crying voice echoed in the house, the mother could only rub the head of her son.

Kang Dae could not say anything more, everything hurt his heart, Sora who always looked happy was harboring quite deep pain because he wanted to be a dutiful child. Kang Dae recalls when Sora was in school and said nothing when he was a bully at school, Kang Dae still remembers when he asked why Sora did not report this to them. Sora only said if he was okay, Kang Dae did not expect it to damage his mentality.

Kang Dae asks in his heart if he has become a good parent for his children.

"She was still dependent on the medicine, and she didn't take it, Han was afraid that something might happen to her."

This time Kang Rani could no longer hold her voice to not cry properly, Kang Dae only resigned when leaning on her back in the chair she was sitting in. Han got up and out of the house he was intending to find his brother back, he was almost tired of looking for that beloved brother.

🍁🍁🍁

Kang Dae was pensive in his study while staring at the family photos on the wall, family photos that repeatedly changed positions to look good. If other families have family photos in neat clothes, sit in lines with a charming smile to look good, not with the Kang family.

Suddenly Kang Dae feels his shoulder being touched by someone, he hopes half-dead it is Sora, the little girl who always hugs him secretly who is Kang Dae's favorite.

"Can we talk?" Kang Rani asked breaking the silence of the room.

"Do you want to defend her too?"

"He's my son, I must have defended him. Which mother could have seen her son tormented like that." Kang Rani turns Kang Dae's chair to face him, then the woman kneels while tightly grasping her husband's hands.

"Please forgive Sora, she also has a life she must choose. He just wants to be happy. We've made him suffer." Kang Rani cried because she was not a good parent either, she never found out what kind of hardship Sora was going through.

Kang Dae was speechless, before Kang Rani asked him to forgive Sora he had already forgiven first, it was undeniable that he felt very evil to Sora. Just because of a personal grudge he sacrificed the beloved child, Kang Dae did not want Sora to be denigrated anymore but he had already used the wrong way.

Kang Dae wipes away his wife's tears and takes her in his arms, he wants Sora back as soon as possible and prays for his son to be okay.

The two husbands turned their eyes towards the door when they heard a knock, they were shocked when they saw Sora on the doorstep behind him already there is Han.

Kang Rani immediately got up and ran towards Sora, hugging Sora longingly. Sora often did not come home even for months because he researched a tribe or village, but never this longing. Maybe because Kang Rani is worried about Sora's condition.

"Eomma, ." whispered Sora who was still hugging tightly.

"Pardon Eomma for everything, especially those who don't understand you. Eomma is sorry. Eomma loves you very much."

"Because-"

"Already, talk to your Appa. Eomma wait outside." Kang Rani immediately took off her embrace and brought Han out of the room, Han was a little confused but her mother immediately gestured to comply first.

Sora was only stunned as his mother perfectly closed the teak door, she let out a long sigh and her eyes turned towards her father who had turned back to her this time.

It's gonna be a rough night.

"Appa..."

There is no word from Kang Dae but Sora will still try to give in for his father.

"Sora apologizes for being a child who does not obey Appa, Sora regrets hurting Appa, please forgive Sora."

Silent.

Sora walked up to his father who was standing staring at the frame of their photo staring at the camera with a beautiful smile, he knelt down so that his father could forgive him.

"Appa must have been very disappointed with Sora, but Sora loved her very much. Sora just wants him. Sorry Appa. Sorry." Sora lowered her face with both hands and cried for fear that her father would not forgive.

"Sorry Appa." Sora's crying voice grew bigger along with her pain.

"Do you love her?" His voice was as cold as ice.

Sora just nodded.

"Does that mean you stopped loving Appa?"

Sora was surprised by Kang Dae's question, he immediately got up and touched then squeezed a bit of Kang Dae's shirt.

"No Appa. Appa remains first for Sora, don't say that."

"Then why did you leave the house?"

Sora hugged her father from behind and hid her face and cried there, she could not help but feel the tightness of her chest.

"Sorry Appa. Excuse me. Sora is sorry. Sora's wrong."

Sora felt his hands cold, he fell silent as he felt the droplets in his arms, he took off his embrace and moved to stand in front of his father.

Sora was surprised to see her father cry, the girl immediately hugged back in affection.

"Sorry Appa."

"No, you don't have to apologize. Appa's the bad guy to you, Appa's not the good guy, Appa should be sorry."

Sora shook his head when he heard the apology from his father.

"Please don't stop loving Appa. Appa loves you."

The sound of crying both dominated the room, the pain Sora had been enduring all this time seemed to evaporate just like that.

There is no day more relaxing than this.

Kang Dae cupped both of Sora's cheeks, wiped away her tears and was also avenged with the same from Sora. They feel the same pain.

"He had to meet Appa first, Appa wanted to beat him up for daring to make my daughter fall in love."

Sora laughed in response to his father's words, he hugged the man he loved so much.

Kang Dae will be Sora's first love.
