"So.. I'm not your son?" Aonung asks Tonowari, as they were stood in his office.
Tonowari nods.
"Oh" is the only word that escapes from Aonung's mouth.
"Well.. are you going to say anything?" Tonowari asks.
Aonung shrugs, "what is there to say? You've lied to me my whole life, and yet.. I'm not bothered."
"Are you that ungrateful? Your parents died, Aonung. I took you in. Is that not something to thank me for?" Tonowari asks.
"Thank? What is there to thank when i had rather been dead than bought up by you" Aonung replies.
"Aonung!" Tonowari looks at him in disbelief.
"Do not be shocked now. That I have no care and no emotion to any of this. You're the reason I have turned out this way. So congratulations, I hope you achieved in what you wanted" Aonung walks out his office.
Ronal is walking upstairs, as Aonung rushes past her.
"Nung?" She calls out to him.
He continues to walk away.
He didn't wish to ignore her but he had to. He could not face her.
He could not face anyone.
Ronal walks up to see Tonowari's office door.
She makes her way in, to see Tonowari paced back and fourth, completely stressed.
"What just happened?" Ronal asks.
"He knows. He knows the truth" Tonowari says.
-
It had gotten to April.
Spring.
The blossoms begin to grow, as the trees had become more full.
Only a slight of wind and yet, a lot of sun.
It was great for many and not so great for some.
"Tuk. You are going to be late" Neytiri says.
"Sorry mama, I just don't feel well" Tuk sulks.
"Oh dear. What's wrong?" Neytiri asks.
Tuk begins to cough a little, as she sniffles.
"The change of seasons. Even Kiri has fallen sick" Aneysa says, as she walks down, "maybe she should take the day off and rest."
Neytiri sighs, "she should. I didn't even realise she was unwell."
"You will be late for work. You should head out, I'll get her back to bed" Aneysa says.
"Are you sure? Will you be okay with that?" Neytiri asks.
"Of course. She's our Tukie after all" Aneysa smiles.
Neytiri gives Tuk a tight hug and a kiss, "I'm sorry I have to go but I promise I'll be home as soon as possible."
"I love you mama" Tuk says weakly.
"I love you too, my Tuk" Neytiri kisses her again on the cheek.
She picks up her car keys.
"Thankyou again, Aneysa" Neytiri says.
"Don't worry about it" Aneysa replies.
Neytiri leaves, only for Tuk to be sat at the kitchen table, almost dozing off to sleep as her nose dribbled slightly.
