UNLOCKING KHAL'S HIDDEN IDENTITY II
KHAL'S POV
Kareena Writing (Khal's Mother)
I'm so scared to go to the hospital to find out what happened to my baby. I woke up in the morning with the blood running down my thigh. I am so scared to know what happened to my baby. Due to stress and too much worrying, it affects him. Fortunately, he was in good condition.
I am nine months pregnant and in any day, I will see him. What does he look like? I am so excited. Months had been so difficult for me. I was grateful to my child, every time, I was wondering about what was his features, I forgot how broken I was.
But suddenly, there were unknown visitors who knocked on my door and when I opened it, my whole world stopped.
The father of my child.
*****
I stopped for awhile as I was staring at the paper. The pages were ripped in halves and I had no idea where was the half. I suspected that his name was written in this.
What happened to Mom after seeing my father again? And wait, he was not scared of him? Or he did not seek help? There was something in this diary that was hidden. Flipped and flipped, but only blank papers I could see. There was nothing.
That's all? What happened! What is his name! Who is the man? What pack is she pertaining to?
I held my forehead and massaged it in a circular motion. I slammed my body on the floor while thinking. Then, suddenly, I realized something. When I was ten years old, I asked my mom.
We were in the kitchen, I was sitting at the sink while watching mom, cutting the apple into small pieces for his apple pie recipe. She was smiling while doing that.
"Who is my father? Where is he? Is he going home?" Out of curiosity, I was always questioning her about my father.
"He's watching us, from a far distance."
My thin tiny lips formed a pout. "I can't understand. Why I didn't see him?"
"Because I don't want to."
Is that so? There was any communication between my mother and father since then? I was just a kid when mom told me those. My mind was closed to think about the possibility that probably my father was looking at us, guarding us, or maybe watching us from a far distance.
Or possibly, Mom was talking about his death? But why was she smiling at that time? Why was she not mad or crying or hurt? My life was a mystery.
I blew a loud sigh of frustration. I gazed at the mirror. Lately, she was sobbing and crying at night as if she was missing someone? Or she was blaming herself for something?
Mom, why did you not tell me the truth?
I was shocked when I felt someone was behind me. I almost jumped, it was just Pyro. I never heard his footsteps coming inside the room. A little bit weird and silent king. Like Hali's content of the story to his brother who was the Alpha King of Fire.
"There's a woman outside," Pyro said with his no emotional look. Good thing, he talked. We had been here for an hour, I never heard his voice. As I examined his look, he seemed bored and looking away at the window. I guess he was missing someone or he wanted to go home to their kingdom.
What does their kingdom call? It started with the letter E. I just forgot.
I followed him, going downstairs. I rolled my eyes as I saw the woman sitting on the couch. She was wearing a white body con v neck dress. Her beauty and sexy body were exposed and any man could look at her. My heart was beating so fast as I was walking towards my heart. I hated this feeling and I hated this woman the most.
"What are you doing here, Darry?" My forehead formed a frown. In the middle of finding myself, why does she go here to ruin me again? She did that plenty of times and I would not expect she could do that again at this time.
She's my ex-lover. The woman who almost be the reason for Hali and I's friendship over. Good thing, it did not happen. She was not worth fighting for.
"I just need a… minute of your time." She spoke in a gentle and sweet tone.
I gazed at Pyro, he was standing at the second layer of stairs, staring at us. I gestured for him to leave us for a moment, therefore he walked outside.
"Look, Darry…" I managed to slow down my voice, even if I liked to shout at her, and asked why did she cheat on me, not just once, but so many times. "My life is a mess in this day. Please, go away and leave me alone."
"I just want to… say sorry." She was about to step toward me. I raised my palm, the gesture of stop, causing her to halt.
"Sorry?" I repeated her line in a sarcastic way. I glimpsed at my side and scoffed as the not sincere smirk established on my lips. "Please, leave me. I don't want to scold a woman."
The tears in her eyes were slowly forming at the corner of them until they rolled down to her cheek. "Scold at me. Shout at me, Khal! I'm so stupid. So freaking stupid!" Her tears streamed into her eyes.
"Great job, you finally realized it." I messed up my hair. The forced me not to be mad at her. I did not want to hurt a woman, no matter how big her mistake was.
"I love you." She whispered in between her sob.
"You love him? What the fuck?"
Our eyes settled on the entrance when Hali spoke up. "You fucking bitch!" He scolded her. "Khal is the best person I know. He can't shout at you, regardless of how mad he is. Have you ever realized that he almost lost our friendship because he fought for you?"
