THE NAVEL OF THE BLACK VALLEY
Episode 40's. The past of Jisso

As I was thinking about the story in the past, I just remembered about the incident that made me disappointed with the Yamada Kingdom.

At that moment, my heart was broken even I didn't want to remember it at all. But after I realized this time, the incident of Yuka was the same as the fate of my son who was wasted. Until now I don't know exactly where my son is? Perhaps, God entrusted Yuka as a ransom for my sins in the past. I have had an affair with Emperor Yamada, I have one daughter who is outcast. Until this second, I did not know of its existence because Emperor Yamada had long since died. When I looked at Keiko's face, it felt like this woman was very similar to me. I pat this thought and I don't want to cloud my mood.

"Keiko, may I ask you something?" I asked by rubbing her hair.

"What do you want to ask?" His heart is on me at this moment. As soon as I fell silent, I hesitated to say this to him.

"I want to know the background of this woman." My inner mumble.

"Keiko.. May I know the names of your mother and father?" I said with my face. I don't know why I feel like he looks so much like me. If it's true Keiko, it's like a recurring destiny. Kenzi's birth to the world, as if becoming a fate line with Keiko willing to lend her womb. A beautiful girl who is gentle and has something in common with my story, but Keiko has a wasted story. Unlike the case with the story of the Suji Kingdom who has an evil empress by choosing to throw away her son named Yuka. I was swept away in my daydream, the deeper I thought. The more I wanted to find my daughter, suddenly the beautiful woman in front of me said.

"I have a mother named, Yukitara. The story of my journey is so dark, Consort Jisoo. I was an adopted child found by my mother on the border of Yamada Kingdom." I was surprised to hear how this girl became a concubine in Suji Kingdom.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you again. How did you get into the Suji Kingdom? Is Yukitaro a concubine?" Ask me to search for information.

"Actually, my foster mother was not a concubine but my foster father served as a bodyguard in the Suji Kingdom. Because of that I can automatically enter the kingdom. I was made a concubine there, because Emperor Suji's father was sorry for my fate." I was surprised and wanted to meet a woman named Yukitara.

"Where are your parents now? Are they still alive?" I asked Keiko at this time.

"Emh, not Consort Jisoo. My mother died a long time ago, she had a severe illness and not long after the death of my mother my father also fell ill. After a month, my father died too." He said with a gloomy face. I was shocked to hear his words and then I tried to remember. Are there any clues to who Keiko really is? I was silent in a thousand languages, I tried to remember the story of my past with Emperor Yamada.

At that time I was wrong, I was persuaded by Emperor Yamada's appeal. But, after I got pregnant and I gave birth. I only breastfed my son once, I almost forgot about it. My son has a mark on his neck, a black, semicircular mark that's the only clue that can prove my son's identity.

"Concubine Jisoo, what's the matter exactly? Why are you thinking so much about my journey?" Ask Keiko with 1000 questions in my mind. I also try to explain, hopefully he can understand the events of your life story.

Huufff..

"Keiko, your journey is like my life story. But my son was outcast, I had a child from my relationship with Emperor Yamada. I do not know where my son is because the birth of my daughter is a disgrace in the kingdom. Emperor Yamada, threw away my son while I was fast asleep. I only have one clue about my son's identity. The clue was the black mark that was on his neck." I said to Keiko at the moment.

Suddenly Keiko was surprised to hear my words, she immediately approached me and cried at this time.

"Why are you crying?" I asked by stroking her hair.

"Emmmh, maybe.. Could it be that I am your daughter who was banished by my own father? I have a black mark on the back of my neck. My mother always said, this sign is the only clue to finding my real mother." Say it by crying.

My eyes are wide at this moment. I was very surprised by his words. I tried to calm myself down and see the truth of the sign.

"Keiko, let me see your sign. I recognize exactly the mark my daughter has. Finally he came up to me and shook his hair. I walked up to him and I saw the mark on the back of his neck. When I saw the sign, I was surprised that Keiko was my daughter.

"You are my daughter. My daughter, who was banished by Emperor Yamada, this mark is very precise. I remember the shape, the semi-circular shape that is behind this neck is the only proof that you are my son. Your face looks a lot like mine, you're my missing daughter." I hugged Keiko.

Keiko was crying in my arms right now.

"Mothers.. Why do I have the same fate as you? Is this destiny or karma for everything that happened in the past?" Keiko was crying and occasionally I wiped her tears.

"No, daughter. It's not your fault, it's fate that brought you to meet me but I'm happy to have a daughter like you. You gave birth to a good and just son in leading the kingdom. If later after Yuka's return with your son Kenzi. I'm gonna unlock all these secrets. I'm sorry my daughter." I said to Keiko, she nodded and hugged me again.

Bughh..

The child's longing embrace to his mother.
