He is My Son

Sitting  quietly  in his  office,  Mr  Libin  blankly throws his  sight to the  view  outside the glass windows. 

It's  been  a  month  or less since  Jio  missing,  and the  recent  news  from  uncle Ho  and  Wellan  about  Jio  conditions  in the Trapped  World  was  overwhelmingly a happy  news  for  Mr  Libin  even though the  chances  of  Jio  surviving there is just as small as their  chance  of  finding  one  portal  to be back to the Real World but still it cures a bit of pain in his heart.

People might think that Mr Libin will take it easy since Jio is just his adopted child but Mr Libin loves for Jio is the same as real parent's loves to their kids except for having a mother figure that Mr Libin couldn't fulfilled for Jio but else than that, Mr Libin try his best to provide what Jio needs and what Jio wants. 

Taking a back to when he was 28 years old, Mr Libin will never forget that year of his life. 

After two years married to his sweet girlfriend who also his first love, they're finally expecting their first child, the happiness lingering in their house every day as the due is near

But then...

Mr Libin's wife and their born to be son is died in a car accident, one stupid drunken taxi driver uncontrollably speeding up breaks through the red traffic lights which caused the crashes into Mr Libin's car when she was on her way back home from baby care class.

Since that day he has lost his wife and their baby, for almost half-year Mr Libin hasn't got in touch with anyone including his relatives. 

All the happiness of their time together, the happiness from preparing the needed of the newborn baby, the laughter that usually fill the house, the morning sickness phases, the lotion for those stretch marks on his wife tummy, the unopened baby clothes, the cute flowery blankets with little animals hands puppets, the smell of the new baby box...those things make Mr Libin lost his sense.

He decided to left the big city and staying in a small village near the suburban area to heal both his physical and mental health.

During his stays in this small village, Mr Libin got to know that there is on humble orphanage near by run by an old but nice and kind woman named Mrs Sulan.

Every morning and sometime during evening before the sun goes down, Mr Libin liked to take a walk while watching the kids from the orphanage playing happily in the house yard. He sometime stopped walking and just stand from a far to watch the kids playing. 

There's about seven kids energetically playing hide and seek in the yard meanwhile one of them just sitting calmly and watching the other play. To be more precise with what he sees, Mr Libin take a careful look at that boy features if he had any disability but he looks totally fine

And always having the same routine every day make Mr Libin realised something about that boy, no matter what kind of games his friends playing, he will just sit there, watching and laughing if there's something funny done by his friends.

"I want to know more about that him" said Mr Libin to Mrs Sulan, he can't help himself from being curious about that boy who always sits when others kids his ages playing so Mr Libin unexpectedly bear himself to meet the owner of the orphanage, Mrs Sulan.

Introduced by Mrs Sulan, Mr Libin meet the boy.

To let them have a natural conversation, Mrs Sulan asking the 5 years young boy if he wants to take a short house touring with Mr Libin and he agreed to it. 

The 5 years old boys is speaking very well and also polite even though just with some simple explanation, he managed to introduce all the part of their orphanage to Mr Libin. 

During their house tour, Mr Libin keeps watching how this boy reacted to things and also how he answers the question from Mr Libin.

The way he responded to the questions is unique, he looks into Mr Libin eyes when the question being asked, like really into Mr Libin's eyes and takes some time to answers.

In the end if their house tour, before going back to see Mrs Sulan. The 5 years old boy just out of nowhere speaking to Mr Libin who is walking side by side with him.

"You know... everything is going to be okay, don't be sad anymore okay..." 

For a second Mr Libin don't know how to react to the sudden comfort words from this boy, all these time since the accident happened there are so many people, including relatives and friends came to comfort him but no one ever feel as sincere as this 5 years old boy who he just met officially an hour ago.

Can't hold his feel, Mr Libin kneel down

"Would you like to give a hug to comfort me ?" 

"Sure...." the young boy hugging Mr Libin

"Thank you so much Jio" Mr Libin embrace the young boy named Jio.

A month later 

Mr Libin is in his office working when his secretary came to his office and shocked by seeing Mr Libin is back to work already.

"Sir.... you're back? Sorry but... welcome back sir" she said after gathers her mind, feels like dream seeing her boss behind his desk after a month and looks fresh

"You're welcome Ms Niyeon..." 

"Ehhh?! Mr Libin...! Who are...eh, who is that?" Ms Niyeon shockingly screams to the corner of Mr Libin office as she see a young boy sitting silently there

Mr Libin laughing and proudly says

"He is my son...Jio"
