Twenty Four

After that day Mrs Gong took linda as her own and took care of her tending to her . just as promised the next day she did a scan and filled a report to the police who started searching for him

While she grew in the traditional house finally she was in labor and she gave birth to twin babies a boy and a girl on april 19th . The entire building was filled with joy and excitement the kids were both cute and adorable . but lindas excitement couldn't be contained when she reunited with two of her friends. They had been searching for her for years and heard from their that stayed the night there of a pregnant woman staying with the landlady, they were both happy for her as she shared all her experience

As the days went by she started felling it , the tension of being watched she told Mrs Gong who reported to the police but after thoroughly searching the place they saw nothing they told her it was her imagination but linda was sure so sure he was back and was watching them but she didn't know what to do .

Years went by her tiny babies could walk around and say little words they were now three and have distinction characters, they were also not identical. She named the boy Se-won and the girl hyung-ji .Se-won was always quiet he could be seen at secretive spots in summary he loved observing and rearly talked while Hyung ji loved acting she was the noisy one and very playful but they had one thing they shared , their mothers loving smile .Even under Mrs Gong's protection she watched her children and was filled with fear , everyday she looked at them as they slept holding each other she only hoped they would both be safe , she would go to the temple and fall on her knees praying that her children would never turn out to be like their father .

Then one day Hyung Ji went missing Linda almost lost her mind she kept screaming" he took them he took them am sure…please help me " but no on said anything even if they agreed could they possibly bring her , of cause they searched everywhere they entire neighborhood helped looking everywhere for her but they still couldn't find her

After 6 solid months she came back staggering like a week lamb Linda was already at the verge of losing her mind when she came back but . Linda ran on sighting her daughter and hugged her at that moment …..she felt it , something different something had changed still holding her daughter she dropped her hands touching hyung ji's cold hands as well as her writs her eyes widened there were definitely strange marks …..he must have injected something into her pretending she didn't know what happened she was just happy she was back safely

As days went by things got weirder between the family but she would always where a smile making the village see her as a pitiable little angel all this while se-won just watched , he observed , seeing his mother sad hurt so bad Se-won loved his mother above all things and really valued her , he hated seeing her cry but she couldn't do anything to help One day Linda sent hung-ji out with Mrs. bong to get her food stuffs . As soon as they had gone her two dear friends came over and they talked at length before they left as she saw them off, Se-won who had been eves dropping saw her so depressed he leaned towards the door drawing her attention

"Se-won …{smiling } come over here "

"{walking to her and placing his head on her laps} Am sorry mother "

"{rubbing his hair } you were eves dropping huh? Its okay don't do it again okay?"

"{looking at his mother } yes mother …are you okay ?"

Linda couldn't help the drops of tears that ran down her checks she considered herself so lucky to have such a considerate child that night Se-won hugged his mother to sleep .They words his mother told him kept ringing so he started watching hyung ji more often he wanted to protect his mother and kid sister but he didn't notice when things got out of hand well guess a 4yrs old would not have seen it coming

That night Mrs Gong had gone out to for a few reasons Linda and the kids were at home alone suddenly they got a guest at the door , Linda went over to open the door on opening it she fell to the ground her face frozen in fear and terror she crawled backwards unable to scream

Se-won was sleeping but hyung ji stood by the corridor watching her mom crawl backwards towards her , Linda suddenly turned backward in attempt to get up and run she saw hyung ji standing there staring she then grabbed her daughter and ran towards the stairs only for him to rush to her throwing her to the ground she still got up pushed by the will of a mother protecting her children and ran towards the kitchen grabbing a knife pushing hyung ji behinf her

"she is my child not yours …..COME CLOSER AND I WILL KILL MYSELF "

She said holding the knife to her throat , she knew how well she was valued and decided to use herself as her bait

And for the first time since he got to the house he spoke up

"kill yourself? And leave your children in my hands ?! am sure you wont do that {walking closer} after all I am the worst father ever "

"STAY AWAY FROM ME !........"
