That Can't be True

Mr Olsen looked away when Katherine faced him. "Is it true?" Katherine asked. "That can't be true. Why will he hide his handsome face behind ugly mask?" Jake said, "The doctor might be too old already to recall somethings. I recall he was old already when the accident happened. I think he was sixty something," he added. "Jake, let him answer for himself," Katherine said solemnly. "As much as I hate to, I have to admit that the doctor is right. Don't get me wrong. My purpose of making us all meet is to reveal this to you. I just never planned it this way," Mr Olsen said. "What! You got to be kidding. What do you mean by the doctor is right? I've always been with you. How come?" Jake was the most surprised of them all. Mr Olsen removed the mask and revealed his true face. Katherine almost jumped to scratch him when he removed the face mask. "So, it was you? You were the fairy God?" It took Sophia's hand to close Katherine's mouth.

Ren sat patiently in the hospital reception. Mary had gone into labour earlier than her due date. He was still waiting patiently when his mother arrived at the hospital. "I've told the doctor to check the child's DNA as soon as he is born," Ren said without any emotions. "Shhhh! Let's pray for her safe delivery first," Clara said. Ren scoffed, "As if you know how to pray," he said. Clara just glanced at him without saying a word. She can't be arguing with her son in the public. He is still young but she isn't so she knew better than him.

"Mr Ren, congratulations. Your wife has been delivered of a baby boy," a nurse came to Ren after an hour or an hour and half. "Thanks. Is the doctor who helped her deliver in his office?" Ren asked. "He is probably cleaning up so wait for another five minutes before going to see him," the nurse responded. "Alright," Ren nodded and sat down again. Clara's smile couldn't be erased. "It's a boy. I knew your gene was strong. I'm proud of you for giving me a grandson," Clara said still smiling non-stop. Ren just looked indifferent to her. He can't be having any conversation with this woman. Five minutes later, he stood up and went to see the doctor.

Doctor Finn was just settling in his office again when Ren knocked at his door. "Come in," Doctor Finn said. Ren entered. "Oh? Mr Ren, it's you. Have your seat," Dr. Finn offered after seeing that it was Ren who entered. "How was it? Have you done the DNA test?" Ren questioned. Dr. Finn dropped a file on the table. "Here," he said. Ren went through the file but he didn't seem to understand what was written in it. "What does it say?" Ren asked. "You are not the father of the baby. You don't even share 0.1% of his gene," Dr. Finn said. As he heard the news, Ren felt his world crumbling. Everything around him became blur. He even stopped breathing for a second. "Thank you, doc," he stood up with his heavy heart. He dragged his heavy feet along with him as he leave the office.

"Are you alright, Ren?" Clara asked when she saw him walking out of the hospital. Although Clara was standing just in front of him when she asked the question, Ren heard the question trailing off. He tried his best not to break down but his legs suddenly felt too weak to carry his weigh. He fell down and buried his face in his palms. He just lost on both sides. He couldn't have Katherine neither was Mary's child his. "Ren! Ren!!" Clara called but he was only hearing it in distance. Tears rolled down his cheeks in self-pity and regrets. "Ren," Clara called trying to hold him up. Ren flung her hand away and glared at her. "You caused this! You are the worst mother ever. What do I gain? Nothing! I lost on both sides. I lost Katherine and Mary's child isn't mine. You are the mastermind behind my misery. I hate you. I hate the fact that you birthed me. As I leave this hospital now, I've cut any ties I have with you. I'm no longer your son," with that Ren stood up and left leaving his mother staring at him unable to react.

Ren dialed his assistant's number. "Please help me book the next flight to Morocco," he said. "Alright sir but sir, we don't have any business to deal with in Morocco," his assistant said. "I quit being the CEO. I'm leaving the country to build a new life. If you are okay with it, we can both leave but if you are not, I'm in no position to force you," Ren said. "Alright sir. I will do as you have just said," his assistant said and ended the call.

"Wait guys! This is crazy! Dylan, how could you? Are you daft? Gosh! I've lived my life forgetting you were this gorgeous. Heavens help me," Jake was obviously too shock to get his head around what was happening before him. Jessie wasn't left out. She was too astonished to even utter a word. Sophia, on her part, sat like a moron. "Okay! Okay! But why did you tell me when I caught you without the mask that you are Dylan's boyfriend? Like? I mean, ....," Katherine became short of words. "I thought you'd see through me. I thought you will recognise me with my voice but I was so wrong," Mr Olsen said making a sad face to Katherine. "I couldn't have thought so then. I was too blinded by jealous," Katherine blurted but she quickly covered her mouth. Anyway, she has given herself out already.

Mr Olsen smiled. He was happy that Katherine was jealous. He knows only someone who loves you will be jealous. Piper picked her bag and stood up. "Since I'm done here, I should be on my way already. Dylan, I'm sorry... Mr Olsen, I'm glad I got to see your natural face again. Katherine, please take care of him. He might put up a strong hearted font but he is soft-hearted. Stay safe. Sophia, I'm happy for you. You've got yourself the most funniest man on earth who is also caring. I wish you guys the best. Jessie, I appreciate that you even gave me audience when I wasn't so sure you will," Piper said with her voice breaking as she was almost done talking. "Good bye guys. I'm leaving the country tonight so don't bother trying to reach out to me," she added. "No one was planning to reach out to you," Mr Olsen said. Piper looked at him and smiled. She smiled at Katherine too before finally leaving. "Piper," Katherine called but she was already behind the door.

Mr Olsen made up with everyone and they all got along but Katherine. She was still being stubborn. Deep in her, she has let go of everything but she just love proving tough lady. "My love," Mr Olsen said and sat beside Katherine. He tried to wrapped his hand around her shoulder but Katherine adjusted from her earlier posture. "Who is your love?" Katherine queried. "You of course," Mr Olsen pouted. "I'm not. It's not as though you've officially asked me out," Katherine said and stood up from her seat. She wanted to go and Jake and Sophia who were in the kitchen preparing their lunch. Mr Olsen held her hand as she stood. "What?" she turned and frowned. "This," Mr Olsen pulled her to himself and took her lips in his. Coincidentally, Jake and Sophia stepped out of the kitchen at that moment too. "Awnn, so sweet. Being the latest couple is so so sweet," Sophia said. Katherine wriggled herself from Mr Olsen's hug. "We are not official yet," she stormed out of the sitting room. Mr Olsen, Jake and Sophia burst into laughter.
