The Conqueror of the Miss Heart
S2 Chapter 24. At home
Neighborly whispers began to sound unpretentious as Lucy and her son passed through a narrow path with a handsome man currently carrying Zoro. Maybe Lucy is used to hearing it, however, a single woman must be the subject of ridicule and gossip of the neighbors.
"Look at that, it must be one of the rich men Lucy dated."
"Ihh yes, I want to be the same Lucy who is poor and has one child. Lucy was the one who teased him the most."
"Right, she looks innocent but she's actually a seductress."
Lucy seemed to close her ears and not hear it all, it was common when she came home. For him it does not matter as long as they do not disturb his mother and son, the talk he can make the wind then, anyway he did not eat from them.
Daren looked at the woman's back, she of course heard all the sneers. It is so hard and heartbreaking for a woman. But how could Lucy not respond at all to that, yes it means not to fight or defend yourself so. He will ask if there is time. Now he just needs to focus on Zoro, according to him that little boy certainly should not hear such words.
"Hit Doc, this is my mother's house." Lucy allows Daren to enter their yard first.
A small and simple house with only one room in it. Lucy knocked on the house.
the tok tok tok.
Before long, it was heard that someone opened the house and appeared a mother who was in her fifties but because she was often sickly so that the woman looked older, her body was thin and her skin was wrinkled, walk with a stick. Lucy wasn't just enough money to treat her son and mother. As a result, the mother who relented to her grandson, she preferred to endure pain and only rely on cheap drugs purchased in the store.
"Lucy's... Zo.. granddaughter oma..." The old and wrinkled face was so happy to see his grandson coming home.
"Maybe..." Zoro also thrashed asking to be taken down from Daren's sling. The boy at his age who should now be able to walk smoothly but he can only walk a little because of his weak body.
"Oh my goodness, I miss you dear. Granddaughter of oma is healthy now."
Zoro hugged his grandmother, the woman was no longer able to hold the grandchild.
"Zo, mum. Ato we enter first," invite Lucy who is not pleased because since then the neighbors continue to see them, of course it is because Daren is there.
"Yes, let's go in, baby." oma took her grandson's hand but was pushed over by the boy.
"No Zo, the doctor wants to work, he's gonna have to check on the sick." Lucy had to persuade her son. The boy then looked down lethargic, released his fingers that had pulled Daren's hand, he forgot almost he was asleep.
"Thank you for your kindness so far doc and thank you for bringing us home. We don't have anything to repay the doctor's favor, but if the doctor needs any help we're ready to help." Lucy bowed many times in thanks. That's enough, let's just get here.
Daren flinch, his eyes staring at Lucy and Zoro in turn, not what he wants but he is also confused as to how he wants to say it.
"Thank you, angkel dotell.' the boy wore a very heart-wrenching smile. Daren could see it, a deep sadness.
"Can I stay here longer?" ask Daren.
Daren and Zoro are playing in the living room. They dismantle all of Zoro's new toys, interspersed with the occasional joking and laughter of the two. Things Lucy and her mother never saw.
"Who's he son, why is Zoro so close to him?" ask Risa's mom. He had wanted to ask but waited for the right time.
"He was a doctor who donated blood to Zoro Bu, he also often visited Zo when in the care so they were close," said Lucy, she was making drinks for her guests.
"Then why don't you seem to like them close?" ask the mother again.
Lucy put down the spoon she was holding to stir the tea. Hugged his mother and shed his tears. "I'm afraid ma'am, I'm afraid that Zoro will have to be disappointed again as he has been."
Miss Risa certainly understood the words of her daughter, she herself was a witness when some men who said they liked her son came and left again after knowing the truth about Zoro, some want to accept Zoro and they are close but apparently his family is not. Finally, Zoro who has just felt loved by the figure of a father must be disappointed and cry every day because he wants to meet.
Night pu arrived, since last afternoon Zoro and Daren did not stop playing. The boy was like he was not tired. Lucy and Risa's mother also persuaded the boy several times and allowed Daren to go home but the man himself remained there. Currently Zoro sleeps in the arms of Daren easily.
"Let me put the Zoronya dock" said Lucy, asking for the son.
"Let me, where's the room?" daren asked, then he walked over to one of the doors he believed to be a room because Lucy never answered.
