"Oh God, I beg you to give Aska a chance to live longer... so that our son doesn't lose a father's love. I beg you, Lord, hear my prayer, I beg you..." Karin said praying in her heart very solemnly. until Karin didn't notice that Aska's finger moved and gripped her son's tiny finger.
Her son's shrill voice made Karin open her eyes and see how Aska's hands moved and intertwined with her son's.
"Aska...Aska...Oh my God...is this really what I saw? Oh my God...Aska...are you aware dear?" Karin asked lifting her son to kiss Aska's face.
Aska's eyes flickered as her son's tiny lips brushed against hers.
"Aska are you awake dear? Open your eyes dear?" Karin said with tears in her eyes.
Slowly Aska's eyes opened and saw his son and Karin beside him.
"Did I make you worry again Rin?" Aska asked when he realized he was in the ICU.
