Tucked In Both Hearts

Tucked In Both Hearts
61. Seeking a Help


Ms. Merlin and Jeon are still behind the door. The facial sharpness that had originally exuded decisiveness, courage, and disappointment had now drastically turned into melancholy when the door had just been locked. The facial water Jeon showed showed that he was now re-opening old wounds.


"Why does he have to come here, Ma?" Jeon threw his body to the floor. His head lowered and hid the tears that he did not want to let out for the woman he never even wanted to see the trunk of his nose.


"All will be well, son." Ms. Merlin brought the child's head to put it on her shoulders, just as her foster children often do when she is tired of the situation.


Ms. Merlin never thought that Jeon would react like this. His always gentle and friendly carrying on everyone made Ms. Merlin not know the other side of him.


"When did he come here, Ma? It's not the first time he's been here, is it? Why aren't you honest?" Jeon asked as he escaped from his mother's arms.


"For almost a week he's been here. Mama doesn't want you to meet her, Mama is afraid you're missing Mama. Mama's son is only two, and unfortunately who understands Mama is even you, the child born is not from the womb of Mama. Mama's afraid you're taken with her. Mama's afraid you're coming with her." The fear described by Ms. Merlin was not only from the strands of words, but also the movement of her hands that gently rubbed the child's face with her inner gaze.


Jeon took his mother's hand. Grunts him tightly and, "How can Mama think that far? How can I leave you guys? Nothing's gonna change me, Ma."


The two different generations of people finally strengthen each other.


From that day on, Jeon's days changed little. He was more silent and daydreaming, the day was not as happy as before. A few days had passed, and the woman no longer appeared in her life nor met her foster mother. But still, he had seen how his birth mother looked and existed. And apparently, it makes his daily life disturbed.


"What's up, Je? Why do you look different lately? Is there a problem at home?" That Saturday night Jeon and Miss who until now status is not clear is spending a Sunday night in a cafe subscription them.


"There's no problem.


I was just thinking about our relationship."


Miss choking on his drink. Jeon hadn't asked about their status in a long time. And now he suddenly seemed to charge what he had asked.


Missing is always the same as it already is. He always wanted to extend his time to be alone, although he actually also felt comfortable when with Jeon, he felt there was little to block him no matter what the cause.


Hearing Miss's answer that was always the same made Jeon even more moody. His life seemed to have no passion and passion. Even this moment he began to think what his purpose was until now he lived.


Life for him was an endless cruelty. Whether it's the issue of parents and romance always dominates in his life since long ago.


At 21:00 they decided to go home. Now they are standing in front of the gate of the house of Miss. The two seemed to not want to separate, it was seen from the two who stood there long enough while exchanging views.


"It's late, get in there!" Jeon pointed at the homes of Miss with his chin.


"You back?"


"I forgot something."


Miss frowning, "What?"


Jeon answered the woman's question with a single kiss on her lips.


"I forgot about this," he answered with a mischievous smile.


Sedatik then, their lips again clashed under the star-studded sky. Somehow the weather feels sunny tonight, as bright as the two lovebirds who are in a relationship somehow call it. Relationship without status? Perhaps those three words were more aptly pinned to them.


As usual, the struggle that they have recently left behind still causes a hot sensation that feels turbulent. It is always heard from the mouth of the two who make their accumulated desires appear without being asked.


Jeon took off their pawns as he felt longing to reach the pinnacle of an irresistible desire. The question arises from the view of the woman when the pageant has completely detached and now leaves those who fight face to face in quick breath.


"I don't want to ruin you more than this. Come in, have a break." Jeon lightly ruffled the woman's hair and left.


Longing to feel his lips as if it was the first struggle. His lips suddenly curved upwards and his face felt red. Not wanting to linger outside and imagine the no-no, he opened the fence to enter the house. Once again, there was a hand that re-aligned his wrist.


"Some are left behind." Miss speech stopped because the hand that blocked her hand was not Jeon's hand.


"you must be Jeon's girlfriend, huh? Introduce me Mita. Jeon's birth mother."


The two women who had just met were sitting in the garden not far from the house of Miss. They sat side by side on a long bench facing the street. Ms. Mita was telling her life story 26 years ago. He told me everything in detail without any cover-up, he did this in hopes that Miss understood his situation and helped him to make peace with his son.


"We are both women, surely you will also understand how I feel. Even though you don't have children yet, I'm sure you'll understand how I feel. I was confused who else would ask for help. Ms. Merlin is not willing to help me. I never intended to take Jeon from him. I just want to meet, I want to get an apology from my own son. I want to be able to meet at any time like mother and child in general. I didn't ask Jeon to stay in my house. I'm sure you can persuade him to open his heart to me."


"Why did Mom just meet him now? You know where the mother's son is, but you have to wait 26 years to meet?"


"After I divorced my husband. My life is not easy. I had to fight hard and bloody just to keep my life going. A few years later, I met my current husband. But unfortunately, we had to move out of the country because of work. I as a wife can only follow wherever my husband goes, right? We lived there and a few months ago, my husband died and I finally decided to come back here. Want to meet my son, but it turns out my longing is not immediately avenged. You want to help me, right?
