Until now...

Ken lost his mom in front of his eyes... He also lost himself with his mom's death...

****************

Ken called his dad and Uncle to tell them about his mom's death. They rushed to the city but this time Rika didn't come. Once again she was under too much of shock because of someone's death who she ones loved more than her mother... She didn't even shed a tear and made her heart too hard because she also lost two precious people of her life. This made her health even worst state.

Ken's Pov:

We finished my mom's funeral procession and now I am in my mom's room and reading my mom's letter.

"Dear son,

If you are reading this letter, then I am no more with your happiness to laugh with you and Sadness to console you. Sorry son, for making you struggle alone in this world. Sorry for hiding my disease from you. Sorry, Sorry... But your mom had one last wish will you do that for me. Stay with you Uncle, son. Please marry Rika. Once again sorry Son. Love you...."

"I couldn't able to understand her. She hides her disease from me, but she wants me to marry that Rika" 

"I am taking my son with me. I could able to support him financially" I heard my dad's voice.

"No, I can't let that happen. I promised my sister that I will support him" my Uncle disapproved my dad's word.

"I have no idea what to do. But one thing that I want to for my mom is...."

"I will come home with you Uncle. I am sorry, dad. I am going to fulfill my mom's last wishes and to the most, I don't want to hate you even more" with my unwilling heart now I started to pack my pieces of luggage to go to the town and marry Rika.

Now we were on the bus. I am with my uncle," Did they all planned this before? Why did that wrenched girl Rika didn't show up herself at the funeral? Wait for me Rika, I'll show you what's the hell going to come for you" my thoughts.

We reached the home,

"Mr. and Mrs. Ri On....." a man with a long mustache came towards us.

"What happened?" Aunty asked that person.

"Mrs.Ri On, Rika... Rika..."

"Just tell me. What happened to my  Rika?"

"She is admitted to the hospital. Fluids were given to her"

"What?" She went with that person.

"Ken, sorry dr. Please wait for us. We will get back Rika to home"  

 "What happened to Rika?" my subconscious asked me. It's not like I am caring for her but I too want to know why she is admitted to hospital.

I am waiting for them to return. It's almost half an hour.

"Ken, open the door, son" I heard my uncle's voice and Rika is half dead in his arms.

Ken looks at Rika who is unstable and lost in her own thoughts...

"What's this? Why is she looking like this?" my subconscious asked me.It's the first time I am seeing her after this long years.

******************

Rika's Pov:

Rika still didn't realize the presence of Ken. Neighbors start to visits her one by one.Since she is a pet girl for all. They couldn't able to accept the pain she is undergoing.

"What will I do? I don't know how to open your locked heart? The key(Aunt) was already no more in this world"  my mom started to cry. while holding me tightly.

"Rika, cry out. Let your pain out" she started to slap me hard. My eyes started to tear up but I can't let my walls down.

"Why should I cry? It's them, their fault, they left me alone" I yelled and ran towards my room.while murmuring,"I will not cry for them they left me alone without any words they left me."  I locked up my room.

*************************

Ken's Pov:

"What are we going to do with her?" Aunty asked my uncle and their face automatically turned towards mine but I was totally clueless about this situation.

"Why is she looking like this?" I asked them.

"Ken, Rika lost three precious persons in her life. One is your mom. You, to know, that she is everything to Rika. Second, her best childhood friend's death. Third, her another childhood friend shifted home without any goodbyes." He explained with this sad face.

"who will stay with this girl?" my subconscious asked me.

Days passed away. Ken started to adjust with Mr. and Mrs. Ri On but he never tried to speak with Rika. Rika also started to accept the fact but the true scar remains in her heart and she started to attend the Guitar classes. Ken started to accompany his Uncle everywhere.

"Ken, It's almost time to join in college. What do you think about your higher studies?" my Uncle asked me.

"I want to study Computer oriented studies, that's for the main job and also want to pursue my music interest side by side" I answered him.

********************

Rika's Pov:

"Rika, It's almost time to join in college. What do you think about your higher studies?" my dad asked me.

"I want to do my major in Computer field and also my hobbies as side by side" I replied him

They two wants to do their studies and hobbies so Mr. Ri On thought of sending them to an art college.Since both of them got good marks Mr.Ri On plan to admit them in best university from the city. In order to let them live together, they plan for a simple register marriage.

Mr. Ri On asked Ken about the marriage.

"It's my mom's wish, so as her Son, I have to fulfill it" Ken replied Mr.Ri On.

The same goes for Rika too, but still, now they didn't speak with each other.

Two days before marriage...

Ken was taking shower while his phone ringing in the hall...

"What the hell? Where is he? Why is he not attending his phone?" It annoyed me a lot so I took his phone to silent it but I didn't have any idea about the coming shock.

Rika was in deep shock after looking at ken's cell phone.....
