Niklas continue to collect the broken plate.he then move towards the dustbin near the door. Mrs. Clara continues sipping her coffee while staring outside of the windows near the table. The view of her backyard emerges in front of her. What a serene view. Sound of footstep walking towards the table make her turn her head. Oh dear, finish with your business? Mr. Louis just smiles and take a seat beside her. He kisses her on the forehead before pouring himself a cup of coffee. Dad just wait for a second and I will bring the pancake and we can eat together. Okay, I will just have a coffee first. Don't forget to take out the Maple syrup from the fridge. Mr. Louis then faces her wife. what are you zoning out? No dear just thinking about the girl. Maybe after breakfast, I will go to the hospital. So can you accompany me? Yes dear. I will. He reaches for her wife's hand and holds it. Clara just smiles. His husband never disappointed her. Niklas hearing the couple's conversation interrupted them. Mom did you want to go to the hospital, can I go also? Yes dear. You can. Finally flipping the last bath of the pancake, Niklas then put it on the plate and take the maple syrup. Here you go. Freshly made pancake. Oh, Nicky, you have improved from last time, did you? Finally, I can eat perfect unburn pancake from you. Dad, please don't tease me okay. I tried really hard this time. Clara just smiles seeing this two importance person in front of her. Mom, please say something, you just let dad bully me. Oh my-my, dear don't do that to my lovely Nicky. They then laugh it out as it always the scene that occurs almost every time when they sit together. The view of a very lovable family. Niklas is the only child they took time to conceive. It almost took 6 years after their marriage to finally see him. Thus seeing him bring warm feeling inside Clara and Louis heart. Mom, if you don't mind, could you tell me what happen about the accident? Clara just taking a sip from her coffee put the cup down and smile at her son. Yes, I will tell you, my love. It just like a normal drive back home when suddenly out of nowhere that young woman emerges from the side road and then collapse. I almost run over her but luckily I put a really hard force on the break. Nicklas listening attentively as he eats the sausage from his plate. Mr. Louis also just sit there silently to give her wife time to explain to their son. But you know what Nicky, turn out that the young girl is pregnant. I was shocked when the news is delivered to me. If I run over them I might be in deep regret for killing an unborn child. You know how am I about kids and baby right. Yeah, I know mom. After all the years you waiting for me to finally be born. Of course, I know how you care for younger people. Of course, it gives you a traumatic response. But luckily the girl is saved now, but I worried about her baby. The surgery did when well but. I don't know how she will live her life after recovery. It okay dear, we will be visiting her right. So if anything we will help her. Just rest assured. Mr. Louis pats her wife back slowly and they continue eating breakfast. He understands her wife's hearts. Fragile and warm. Always want to give something to others. Never in his mind regret marrying Clara. That's right mom, we shall pray for the best about her and her baby. They continue chatting about Niklas life in college and his friends. Mom do you remember that before we move here when we still live on the Sky City I have friends name Luther. Of course dear, how is he still moody and clumsy as always. I don't know we finally see each other but he suddenly takes a break because of a family matter. I thought you know about it as his mother is best friends of yours. Oh, I did not know either, maybe I give Marie a call after this. The matters then just forgotten as a call from the hospital give a piece of bad news about the young girl.
