"You guys never treated like I'm one of you anyway. I can't even rember the last ti I felt that I was also a part of this family, until I felt the love from my new family. Candice treats like her own daughter. She is always there for when I accompany Mika who is sick."
"We don't know where Mika is being treated, if we knew where she was being treated, we would have definitely co," Lyle said in a defensive voice. "If you had allowed us to co, we would have definitely co to provide support, but you didn't allow us to et, you don't even want to see us."
Kia looked at her father intently with a look of disbelief, she should have expected this, but it didn't lessen her pain knowing how ignorant her family could be.
"There was one thing you could do, giving Alia's dical history, but you didn't." Kia reminded them of this.
"But, you don't want to see us, no matter what we say, you don't want to see us." Daniel then added. "Would you have been willing to et us if we provided you with her dical history?"
"No." Kia shook her head. "But, at least I know you are not that selfish to prioritize your ego by withholding her dical history, knowing that it could endanger Mika's health."
"You could have lowered your ego by eting us and getting the dical history but you're being stubborn."
At this point, Kia realized that nothing she could say would change these two people's minds, they would always bla her, no matter what, they would still bla her for what they thought was right.
"It's obvious now, isn't it? I'm not family to you." Kia looked at her father and mother carefully and at that mont Lyle knew that he had gone too far and was too excited and said sothing very selfish, he realized that.
But, it was too late.
"Kia, don't be like this, we are family," Amber said through her tears. "Your father will also provide the dical history in the end."
"Yeah, in the end…" Kia looked sadly at her father. "But, if Mika's condition had gotten worse at that ti and it was too late, what else was the dical history for?"
Yes, that was right, if Mika hadn't survived at that ti… No Kia didn't even dare to imagine what would have happened to her.
"Wouldn't it be too late? No matter what you do, nothing will change." Kia then turned her attention to Mika and wiped her lips with a tissue because she ate a bit ssy. "I just want to say that I have found a family that accepts for who I am and loves , considers part of their family, even gives the feeling of having a family far more than what I feel from you, if there are still those feelings." Kia then stood up and looked at them all carefully.
"I just wanted to say that you don't need to contact for anything, not for a funeral, not for a wedding or anything, because I would do the sa with you."
"Can't you think about this a bit more?" Lyle also stood up, he seed to be holding off Kia's departure. "We can start all over again. Doesn't Mika need her family? She needs her grandparents, uncle and aunt."
Kia smiled very sweetly when she heard that. "Father doesn't need to worry too much about it, Mika has already got everything from the Tordoff family. She has grandparents who love her unconditionally as well as cousins. I already said no, that I have found a family that loves us."
"They are not your real family." Daniel tried to interrupt this conversation.
with , she will be the only family for if that happens, from the start, we are always together."
Mika then raised her head and grinned at her mother, which made Kia smile.
"Today, I just want to convey this to you: act like the past four years, pretend that I don't exist and I will also continue to act like that."
At that, Kia left from there carrying Mika who looked a little sleepy after eating her fill and enjoying her favorite pudding.
She looked so cute when she yawned, especially when she buried her face in Kia's shoulder.
Even until the end, Mika didn't want to be touched by them, because they were strangers to her, she didn't even look at them for long and just buried her face in Kia's neck.
In the end, Kia left the room and left the four of them alone.
Amber could be heard crying piteously as she watched her daughter and grandchild leave and imdiately realized that this would be their last al together, while Lyle was speechless, he just stood there, petrified, not knowing what else to think.
Daniel and Alia didn't say anything and were busy with their own thoughts.
No one spoke in the room and they did not leave for a long ti.
On the other hand, Kia stepped out of the restaurant with a much lighter heart after saying what she wanted to say, whether they regretted it or not was none of her business anymore.
She was done with them and now, she wanted to open a new chapter with Misha.
And unexpectedly, the man she was thinking about had been waiting for her with a bunch of flowers in his hand when she got into the car.
"Uncle Misha!" Mika exclaid happily when she saw Misha.
"I still feel bitter about that call," Misha grimaced with the way Mika addressed him. He then gave a "Even if one day I find myself not part of that family, I don't mind, because I will always have Mika bigger bouquet of flowers to Kia before handing another one that was slightly smaller to Mika.
Mika looked very happy when she also got the sa bouquet of flowers as her mother, only in a smaller size.
anwhile, Kia could only laugh when she heard Misha complain about this.
"How about you call Daddy once?" Misha persuaded her, but Mika shook her head firmly.
"No."
"Why?"
"Mommy will be sad again later."
"I won't be sad anymore," Kia said, she herself had said the sa thing many tis to Mika, but the little girl seed to still be traumatized when she saw Kia cry so sadly at that ti.
However, it couldn't be denied that at that ti, Kia was not in her right mind and she did not think that she would be able to endure this pain.
It was just that all that was past, yet what happened at that ti left a very deep impression on Mika's mind, so much so that she refused to call Misha father again.
"No." Mika shook her head even harder and started to turn her full attention to the flowers in her hands. She was very happy to see a bouquet of flowers like this.
In fact, it was also Mika who chose the flower bouquet for Kia at her wedding later.
"We're going to coax her slowly, okay?" Kia rubbed Misha's arm, so he wouldn't be too discouraged by this situation and Misha could only nod in defeat.
"How was your eting earlier?" asked Misha, he looked at Kia's face carefully, trying to see if she felt upset, sad or angry, but there didn't seem to be anything to worry about.
"Everything is alright."
"Are you feeling any better?"
Kia thought about the question for a mont. "At first, I thought I would feel sad or angry, or disappointed, but after the eting earlier, I didn't feel anything. I felt like I was leaving strangers I had only known for a few monts. It's as if there is no bond between us anymore," said Kia.
"I'm glad you're not feeling down, because that's all that matters right now."
Kia looked at Misha gently, this man ca to see her and left all his workload, because he wanted to make sure that she was okay. This was quite touching for Kia, because he was willing to go the extra mile for her.
"Where are we going?" asked Kia when she saw that they weren't weren't taking the way to the house or back to the company.
"We will continue the vacation that was postponed at that ti," said Misha.
Kia's eyes widened. "Are we going to the mountains to go camping again?" To be honest, Kia was not fond of such activities and didn't want to do that anymore.
"No, going to the mountains will take too long, the nearest mountain takes two hours from here and I don't have that long."
"Then where are we going?"
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Mika beca interested and looked at her parents, waiting for an answer from Misha.
"We're going to the beach."
"To the beach?" asked Mika enthusiastically. "Will we see sharks and whales?"
Kia and Misha grimaced when they heard this. "It seems she tends to think about extre things," Misha comnted.
Weren't children of her age more interested in small animals like clown fish or ornantal fish, starfish and the like?
"Mika saw on television that sharks and whales are friends with humans," Mika babbled.
At this point, Misha wanted to know which television shows broadcasted such footage and 'brainwashed' children that sharks and whales weren't wild animals…
