The Seed You Threw
Chapter 22

"Mommy, aren't you coming to eat with me?" krish asked with a shout.

Kiran had not been out of the bathroom after nearly an hour. He said goodbye because he would clean up first. In fact, he was crying. He thinks hating Dev is one way to get rid of those feelings. But he was wrong, the more he tried to forget, the more he missed.

Behind his laughter lies a deep sadness. His life is ruined, maybe if there were no Krish in this world it would be somehow what his life would be like now.

"Devs." Kiran kissed her blood-soaked shirt. Still remember very well with the incident earlier, the incident that almost scared him. Fearful of the man dying and Krish will forever have no father figure.

The shadow of Dev's face filled with blood made him even more unable to forget the man. He did not know how the condition of the man after being able to handle.

After a long time of not seeing each other, he was struck by a very worrying meeting. He remembered very well on the way to the hospital.

"Dev, you've got to hold on," she said at the time.

Dev was in his lap, his head leaning and his thighs as his pillow. That's why his clothes were covered in the man's blood. She also still remembers when Dev half-consciously touched her hair while saying his name.

Until finally, Kiran gasped. Then he touched her hair. Just realized that the hairpin he was using was no longer in place. The hairpin she always used everyday, and it was a gift from Dev.

"Mommy!" call Krish for the umpteenth time.

"Yes, Krish. Mommy's not done yet" replied Kiran.

Soon, he came out of the bathroom. He saw the baby was pecking at the door while holding his hands in the chest. The boy was upset that he was waiting for his mother who never came out. He was waiting for her to eat together.

"Why so long? I'm very hungry" said Krish. He saw his mother's eyes red. "Mommy crying?" ask her. For the first time she saw her mother crying. All this time, all she knew was her mother a tough woman. Always smile if problems come.

"No, Mommy didn't cry. This was soapy water, "Kiran answered lying.

"That's it, if so, quickly put on clothes. Keep eating," Krish asked.

Kiran nodded then immediately went to pick up her clothes and put them on.

After a few days in the hospital, Dev was finally allowed to go home. But he has not been able to do activities as before. He had to undergo treatment at home, his chest sometimes still feels pain due to a collision with steering wheel.

"I'm sure there was a misunderstanding between me and him, and it was all because of Rohit. If he dares to lie to me, I think he also lied to Kiran. He purposely separated me and my lover, Sunil. And stupidly I trusted him too much."

Until he finally has an idea that he is convinced that Kiran must have seen him. Dev's up to something. He will invite reporters to come to his dream home that will be inhabited with Kiran. Perhaps Kiran would know that she had lost it all along.

And Sunil agrees with the idea, Dev. He believes the whole world will know that Dev has a lover, only to be separated by a misunderstanding.

"I'll also spread Kiran's photos to social media and I'll ask anyone. Anyone who saw Kiran should tell me, how? Is my idea good?" ask Dev.

"Good, why didn't you do that a long time ago?"

"I don't think, that I know he's married. You know my life was almost ruined, even my career had dimmed just because I used to go to bars, and spend my time there."

"Yes, you used to be too stupid" Sunil said.

Their closeness made him not awkward at all. Since Dev believes in Sunil, he is not like Rohit who loves Kiran equally.

New plans, but news has been spread about Dev who will tell about who became his lover so far. In fact, Krish is always looking for information about Dev from the news on television. He will wait for when the show is held. Apparently, because of Dev's kindness made him idolize the singer.

Secretly, Krish often watched TV at Neha's house. Without Kiran knowing that the boy wants to see Dev on the glass screen. Since the accident, Dev hasn't held an event yet. Only the warmest news is a topic on television.

"Neha, who's Uncle Dev's girlfriend? It was lucky that the man loved her," Krish said. She accidentally came to Neha's house just to watch tv.

"Still little know love, it's adult business. Kids don't need to know" Neha said.

"Aunt Neha, don't tell Mommy yes if I come here often just to see Uncle Dev, he's nice and I like him. If he were my parents, I would be proud to be the son of a singer" Krish said.

Without feeling it, Neha even shed tears. "He's your daddy, Krish. He's your parents, "inner Neha.

"Aunt Neha, it's Uncle Dev. What's the show today?" ask Krish. He saw the magnificent house like a palace on a glass screen, then there was a presenter who began to enter the house.
