At the large dining table family members sat, Opa Kim One sat at the end and Grandma Kira sat side by side, dr. Marie and Alvi Kim took their place next to Esmeralda and Aaron, her husband. Shakira sat next to Oma Kira. Two empty chairs were reserved for Nesia and Gibson next to Opa Kim One.
"What happened? Why is Nesia in a wheelchair?" Grandma Kira got up from her chair and approached Nesia. "She slipped in front of the bathroom!" explained Gibson.
"Marie, check his feet!" Said Opa Kim One. Dr. Marie got up from his chair, he checked and lifted Nesia's legs higher.
"Ow!" Nesia moaned softly. Her feet were warm.
"What a throbbing pain". Nesia nodded.
"Her legs are twisted, Dira compresses with ice cubes!" Dira nodded, walked into the kitchen to make compresses and ice cubes.
"Mrs. Ros please bring neoprene, her leg must be bandaged immediately!" Opa Kim One's face looked worried.
"Why didn't you say that Nesia fell?" Opa Kim One said to Gibson, he seemed annoyed with Gibson.
"We have to have dinner, right, Opa!" said Gibson. Opa Kim One hit his stick on Gibson's hip.
"Nesia's health is more important, you should take care of her!" Opa Kim's voice loudly scolded Gibson. The young man gasped. For the first time, Opa scolded and beat him. Alvi Kim chuckled softly. He was happy, finally, Opa Kim could hit Gibson too.
Opa Kim glanced at Alvi Kim, the man turned his face to the
side while covering his mouth with his hands, holding back laughter.
Opa Kim One seems annoyed with his childish behavior.
"You should just rest in the room!" Opa Kim One stroked Nesia's hair attentively. Shakira snorted in annoyance. Opa Kim One looked at Gibson. "Take Nesia to her room!" Then he turned to Mrs. Ros, "Get their dinner in the room!" Mrs. Ros nodded obediently.
Shakira pouted. This dinner is chaotic because of Nesia.
"So we don't eat!" Shakira couldn't help feeling annoyed.
"Eat first, mommy takes care of Nesia first!" Esmeralda patted her husband's shoulder asking for his understanding, "Ok... I'll accompany Shakira to eat", Aaron smiled softly at Esmeralda. Esmeralda stood on her chair and kissed her husband on the cheek before heading to Nesia's room.
Shakira glared at her mother's back. Her appetite has disappeared. Shakira smacked the spoon against the plate. Esmeralda turns around. "Shakira take care of your attitude!" Esmeralda said Shakira's heart ached, the first time Esmeralda had rebuked Shakira in front of the crowd.
Shakira stomped her feet on the floor with two tears falling down her cheeks.
"Shakira what's wrong with you?" admonished Aroan Smith. Shakira is very spoiled and childish.
Shakira was crying for real.
Now his father also admonishes him for his attitude.
All this happened because the girl did not know herself. Because that plain girl makes my life messy! "_ Shakira swore to herself. She forgot her mother's teachings to be polite and respectful of others.
His mother was more concerned with Nesia than him.
Nesia has taken away the Kim family's affection that should belong to her.
Opa Kim One and Grandma Kira are also in that room. They don't eat.
"How do you feel!" Esmeralda asked softly to Nesia. The girl was confused by the family's care and love for her.
"It's better," replied Nesia politely. She couldn't warm to Esmeralda yet. Nesia behaved naturally, she thought Esmeralda was someone she should respect, not as her real mother.
Opa Kim One understands Nesia's attitude. The girl was in deep shock knowing her family background.
Nesia didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
But he couldn't accept Esmeralda as his real mother. Everything was too sudden.
Dr. Marie gave Nesia painkillers. Gibson fetched water for him.
"She's okay, father. Nesia will recover quickly!" said Dr. Marie to Opa Kim, the old man calmed down.
"Eat first Nesia!" Opa Kim One said softly. Gibson looked at his mother, "Mom, it looks like I've been defeated!" Gibson whispered to his mother, Dr. Marie laughed.
"It's because of you who are not good at guarding Nesia", Opa Kim One hit Gibson's arm again with a stick.
"Opa!" Gibson grimaced in pain. Oma Kira laughed.
"Let's just eat here!"
Mrs. Ros prepares dinner in that room.
First time in the history of this family, dinner in a daughter-in-law's room. Nesia is not just a daughter-in-law, she is also a grandson of the Kim family.
Dira listened to the warm chat of the family, Nesia had great luck, she got the attention and affection of the entire Kim family.
Why has Nesia become so valuable in front of the Kim family?
Nesia is just a poor girl, orphaned from the island.
In the past, Nesia worked to earn wages to replace picket people in the dormitory, so she was a laundry worker. Now Nesia is the queen of this house.
Dira wrapped Nesia's sprained leg. Dira reminisced back to his time at the dormitory when he used to ask Nesia to massage his legs before going to sleep, Nesia would do it, even though Nesia was already sleepy.
Now it was his turn to take care of Nesia's feet. Spinning wheel. People's fate is unpredictable. Yesterday was below, now top.
Tears of sorrow and sorrow turned into jewels.
Dira didn't complain about his fate but he was jealous why this didn't happen in his life.
