Protect My Heart
The Extra Part 2

Two hours after Kim suffered a heart attack. Now Ken is sitting next to Kim who is lying unconscious, tightly grasping his wife's hand Ken feels very guilty for causing Kim's condition to worsen. Regretting is the only thing Ken can do right now. Sitting while holding his wife's hand tightly, Ken hoped that his wife would quickly open her eyes as soon as possible.

“Are you crying?” kim asked in a very weak voice.

Hearing Kim Ken's voice instantly raised his eyes. “Darling, are you awake?” exclaim Ken.

“Em...” nod Kim slowly.

After Kim regained consciousness, Ken could now breathe a sigh of relief. For the last two hours Ken could not calm down for a second.

“Dear forgive me,” said Ken suddenly. It was clearly visible on his face if this man deeply regretted what had happened to his wife.

“I'll forgive you, but on one condition.” Kim said with a smile.

“Terms?”

“Em, I will forgive you with one condition.” Answer Kim.

“Tell what the terms are? I'll do whatever it is as long as you're willing to forgive me.” Ask Ken with a sorry face.

“I want to go camping one day one night with you,” Kim said taking advantage of the opportunity.

“Camping?”

“Ia, Camping.” Kim repeated his words.

Ken thought hard, his heart said he did not want to obey what his wife wanted. However, before Ken refused Kim first said. “You can't refuse my wish,” said Kim.

“Why is it like that?”

“Because this is also the wish of your child candidate.” Answer Kim.

Ken breathed his tired breath, there was no reason for him to refuse the request from his wife. “Alright, we will go camping with Andrew and_”

“No, just the two of us. No Andrew and other medical personnel are allowed to come with us.” Cut Kim.

“But darling,”

“No buts, just the two of us. If not I don't want to be treated again.” Threat Kim.

Ken was forced to agree with his wife's wishes. “Alright, just the two of us and no one else is coming with us. However, there is one condition.” Ken Say.

“Tell what it is?”

“Whatever I say you must obey, including you must undergo regular treatment, okay.” Ken Say.

“OK alright, I agree.” Saut Kim's. “Let's wait what else we leave now,” said Kim suddenly.

“Camping now?” ask Ken who doesn't believe.

“Les’t wait no more, we go now I’ll hurry tonight.” Take Kim in a little hurry.

“Are you sure?” ken couldn't believe it.

“Yes, I am Very sure.”

“Alright, we're leaving now. However, before that give me time to prepare all the needs for camping and also other preparations.” Ken Pinta.

“Alright, I give you thirty minutes to prepare everything.” Said Kim. “Start from now.” add Kim.

What Kim said managed to make Ken rush to contact his secretary while walking out.

Kim POVs

I sat on a chair while looking at Ken who was busy building a tent. My gaze cannot be separated from staring at him, as well as with him who always looks at me with a smile. I don't know why seeing him smile like that makes my heart feel so happy. I hope he will always smile like that someday even if there is no me by his side anymore.

Honestly, for the last month I was always nervous and worried that something would happen to me before giving birth to this baby in my stomach. I was not afraid of death, but I was afraid that something would happen to this baby in my stomach, and what I was most afraid of was that when I left, what about her? I hope he's always like this one day. Always smiling as he does now, that way I won't regret it if God calls me one day.

“Honey the tent is done,” he shouted with a cheerful smile. I smiled at her who was very enthusiastic, only this time I saw her like that while doing something. All this time he was serious and very stiff.

Without ceasing to smile she walked towards me and stopped right in front of me. For some reason I suddenly felt like my whole body was completely powerless, my chest was very tight and my heart rate was also very slow. Even so I can still hold it.

At the same time Ken began to lean closer to the side of my ear. “I love you.” His whisper gently in my ear. I smiled and asked him to sit next to me.

“Do you like the view here?” tanyanya while sitting next to me.

“Em...i really like it.” I answered by looking at the view of the forest from a high hill. Ken just smiled and grabbed my shoulder closer to him.

“Honey,” call me very weakly. I began to feel my heartbeat weaken.

Ken who was beside me turned his head. “What's up?” ask her with a face worried about my situation. I moved around looking for a comfortable position for me to sit in because of my big belly.

“I want you to promise me now,” my increasingly weak words.

“If someday I give birth, you have to promise. Whatever happens then you have to save our baby first, even if it concerns my life.” I said as I extended my little finger towards him. However, he seemed to not listen to what I said to him.

Ken was silent and said nothing to me, not even he wanted to look at me at all. I can see that right now he's mad at me for making him promise something he can't do.

“Sayang,” call me. He turned his head towards me and forced his smile.

“Alright I promise,” he said as he embraced my little finger with his pinky. I tried to smile at him, even though I felt stronger now. Instead Ken just smiled wryly which was heartbreaking.

“Honey there's one more thing I want from you,” I added. Ken frowned looking at me confusedly, he again looked worried by what I wanted to tell him.

“Tell me what do you want from me?” tanyanya.

“I want you to think of me as a firefly.” It was my words that made Ken frown in confusion.

“Why fireflies?” his tan grated his head that was not itchy. He didn't understand why I wanted to be a firefly.

“Because fireflies are given a chance to live only briefly.” My answer that increasingly made him scratch his head upset because he did not understand at all.

“So what does that have to do with your wish for me?” ask him very confused.

“There,” lirihku hold pain in my stomach.

“What?”

“I want you to make all the memories of me as if it happened in one day. That way you can forget all about me easily, like a memory that only happens for a moment. Where that day you only knew me in the last moments of the time I breathed.” I said with great difficulty. When I was about to connect my words I suddenly felt a liquid coming out and multiplying into my thigh. When I looked down, the liquid was blood. I froze unconsciously I clasped tightly onto Ken's hand beside me.

“Jeez..honey you're bleeding.” Ken panicked as he saw the blood flowing down my thigh. With ready standby Ken directly pressed the emergency button from his watch that was connected directly to medical personnel. Then Ken quickly hugged me down the evidence. I just froze and stared at my stomach. Please, please let my baby survive, I am willing to lose my life for the safety of my baby. It darkened the world in my vision at this time, until finally my eyes were tired and closed slowly.

Ken POV's

Both of my hands shook violently, I cannot control myself at the moment. For almost thirty minutes I was standing at the door of the operating room, going back and forth I walked in front of the door. I was so panicked that I didn't realize that my whole clothes were full of blood.

Slowly the automatic door of the operating room opened, I quickly approached Andrew who was coming out of the door.

“Andrew how?” I went straight to Andrew.

“Ken I have to talk to you now,” Andrew said.

“Let's talk later, how are Kim and the baby?” I urge Andrew.

“Ken we have to talk now,” said Andrew again which makes me very upset.

“I told you to talk later!” I loudly yelled at Andrew, I was so upset with him because at a time like this he wanted to talk. I'm really losing control right now, seeing Andrew it feels like I want to punch him in the face. And Andrew also seemed annoyed at me.

“Ken calm yourself now.” he said who held back.

I'm getting angry at Andrew, somehow my emotions are getting so high seeing him right now.

“Are you crazy!” I snapped to Andrew. “I can't tena_”

“Ken please listen to me first!” andrew stopped my words. “I have to speak seriously with you at this time, Kim and her baby are in danger.” Said Andrew who managed to wake me up.

“What do you mean Kim and the baby are in danger?” both my hands were shaking violently.

“Currently Kim is bleeding heavily, and most likely Kim will have a heart attack during surgery.” Andrew. I was shocked to hear it.

“Ken we want you to choose one of them, who do you want to save? I need your decision right now, because the time you have is only five minutes left to decide, otherwise we can't save any of them.” Andrew said it was driving me crazy.

Honestly, right now I can't decide who I want to save. Honestly, I would love to save Kim, but I can't do that. If I choose to save her, Kim will be very angry with me when she wakes up. He'll never forgive me, I can't do any of that.

“Save the baby, no matter what happens you have to save the baby.” I said with my eyes.

After getting an answer from me Andrew immediately went back into the operating room. When I opened my eyes, I saw the surgery door closed again and made my knees so limp that I could no longer stand up.

After that day, I lost someone I loved very much. Since that day I have experienced an endless sadness. After that day I had not seen my own son's face for months. I was afraid that seeing it would make me remember the decision I had taken that day. I don't want to regret what I've decided after all this time I've tried to forget it.

To be honest, if it wasn't for my son Dean, I might still be in endless grief. The first time I saw Dean I accidentally remembered Kim, Dean's eyes reminded me of Kim's, the blue ocean-like eyes Dean had were exactly the same as the ones Kim had. Since then I have been excited to live my day. With Dean I could feel Kim's presence inside him.

Time passed by so quickly, without me realizing I began to live my normal life again thanks to Dean's presence by my side, although to be honest I couldn't get out of the sadness of losing the person I love so much. For years I tried my best not to show my sorrow for not being able to forget the figure of Kim in my life today.day by day I lived longing for him, and every day I said. “I will always protect my heart for you.”
