THE ALEXIS
HIS BABY BOY

"Do you still need to question that?" ask Alex again with a piercing look.

"N-no, Sir." The doctor immediately did his job. They went through so deftly.

Before long, all the doctors had completed their tasks well. One of the doctors filed a report with Alex.

"The current state of the patient is very weak, many physical injuries are received by him. But fortunately not to hurt his internal organs. The DNA test results will come out in about two or three weeks ...."

"Speed up the process!" cut Alex off as soon as he heard the span of time that was too long for him.

"Good, Sir. And to continue the visa process, we have to wait for the patient to be conscious to check his psychological condition" the doctor concluded his report.

"Nr ...." Only a short answer and a small nod were given by him. All the doctors immediately withdrew.

They did not move Khiara to the hospital room because it still requires monitoring from the guard doctor.

Flash back off ....

"Darling .. do you know, ever since that incident I've been so worried about you. I've taken you to a safe place, and asked you to wait for me there. But why don't you listen to me? Why did you leave me?" 

So many questions Alex wanted to ask since a few weeks ago, but he has not had the right opportunity to express it. I don't even know what to start with.

"Even after finding out you're out of that penthouse, I didn't stop looking for you. I even created a program that can track your whereabouts. But you're so good at hiding." Alex monologues while gently rubbing Khiara's cheeks.

"When you appeared on the mountain back then, I was so surprised to see you. You who I have been searching for so many years with great difficulty, finally appeared by itself before me. But I'm angry with you too. I don't like you putting yourself in danger like that." Now Alex's finger has switched to stroking Khiara's thin eyebrows.

"Do I have to forbid you to race again? But it looks like you won't listen to me." Alex took a breath. "Are you going to stop if our son asks for it?" A meaningful smile rose from Alex's lips.

Yes, Alex already knew that Khiara gave birth to a son from Aditya's story a few days ago. 

"You know, my chest rumbled when Aditya said you gave birth to a baby boy three years ago*aj*ing*an is inside you."

"Because of that, I'm sure that the boy is my son. Son of the seed that I mutant in your body when you asked me to remove the trace b*aj"ing*an it."  Alex wore a proud smile to himself, not expecting to turn out to be truly mighty.

"I'm very grateful to Aditya for taking care of you two, but I'm also jealous of him because he's the one beside you when you're in pain to give birth to our child." 

Alex pressed both of his lips against Khiara's forehead gently. He kissed her so deeply and for so long, as if channeling longing, apology, happiness and gratitude at the same time.

"When are you gonna realize that I'm Kaiven's father?" 

Alex's question has been answered thanks to Aditya. It was Khiara's eye condition that caused this woman to be unable to recognize him. It turned out that at the time of the incident Khiara lost her contact lens, so she could not see Alex's face clearly even in close proximity. And Khiara just had LASIK surgery while going to Paris some time ago.

"It's only right then that you fumbled my face that day." Alex continues to monologue, and now he is singing his lips because he feels annoyed with Khiara's troubled eyes.

Flash back Seoul a few days ago ...

"He's one of your schoolmates" Alex replied.

"WHAT?" Adit auto raised his tone. He even stood up from his stool. "Who? Who among them has dared to do the act of b*ej*at to Khiara to make her pregnant?" 

Alex can see how Aditya's jaw looks hardened and his fist is so strong that it causes venous lines on his arkin.

"Pregnant?" Alex knitted both of his eyebrows.

"Yes, Khiara got pregnant after the rape." Being enveloped by anger, Aditya is not aware of the changes in mimicry that happened to Alex. 

"Then did Khiara give birth to her baby?" Aditya turned to Alex and stuck his ass back on the long bench they were sitting on.

"Yes, she managed to deliver the baby safely. It was a tense moment that I have faced my whole life," said Aditya as if laughing back to the process of childbirth Khiara.

"You accompanied her into childbirth?"

"Yes, I even remember how Khiara grabbed my hair to the pitak." 

Alex can see Aditya's frustration as the man recalls Khiara's labor. The man was now squinting with eyes filled with flames inside. Not only that, his nose and lips also go with the fireworks.

Angrily Aditya turned his head when he heard Alex who was holding back a laugh. What's so funny? Right now he was holding back both resentment and anger. Upset at his memory and angry at the Khiara rape perpetrator.

"I'm sorry that my woman and my son have troubled you, and thank you for taking care of them all this time" Alex said with sincere eyes.

"Your son?" Aditya wonders, why can Alex claim the baby as his son?

"Well, that kid is my son. Not b*aj"ing*an that is. At that time Khiara asked me to erase his tracks, and I did." 

Aditya glared until his eyeballs might come out of his shell. Of course he understood what Alex meant by 'removing his tracks'. 

"You-you?" Aditya's fist had already floated to land on Alex's left cheek, but unfortunately Alex could already see his movements. So easily he held it. Now Aditya's fist is locked in Alex's left hand. 

"Say that you're just kidding!" hiss Aditya.

"I'm sorry I couldn't grant your request."

"Bad!" Now Aditya's left hand is floating, but ends the same as his right hand. "How dare you touch Khiara!"

"Before you guys, I was the one who met Khiara first. And I love him more than anything." Now a flat expression appeared on Jester Alexander's face. "And I still have the brains not to make Khiara hate me for what I did. So I would never have done anything rude to him if he hadn't asked for it himself."

Aditya relaxes his muscles, and Alex releases his grip. Aditya decays and resuscitates his shoulders on the back of their bench. His eyes twitched and a wry smile fell on the corner of his lips. He had already lost to the man before him.

"You ... have met Khiara before?" Aditya starts to ask when sanity starts to return to him.
