Chapter 4
A Mother's love
"My name is Ken." I answer. He gasped.
"You are indeed her son."
"You know my mama."
"We know your mom. She was the best horses ever. She was kind and sincere not to mention beautiful too. Your father was the greatest horse there ever is. He was the leader of this tribe before. He was just doing just fine until he became wild. We don't know what have happen to him but we know that he wounded many of us. We suggested that your father has to leave the herd. We are so sorry, but we have too. But your mother, Rika insisted to follow him. We have warned her, but she said..."
"I'm sorry everyone...I'm really sorry mom. I really need to go with him, because I already have his flesh and blood. I'm pregnant. I love him. I don't want to leave him. Please."
"Everyone was shock. But we didn't stop her."
"Yeah, she was one fine horse that is full of courage." said another horse.
"Then what happen, wise one?"
"Oh you can call me grandpapa, child"
"Okay."
"Well, after a few months have passed, we were in the woods to hide ourselves from those human. There we saw your mother lying on the grass. She was in pain. Blood were everywhere. Bruises have been make all over her body. She has been beaten up badly by your father."
At The Scene ( you imagine it yourself in a grassy area and you are one of those horses in the herd. And if you add some sad song like WestLife 's 'Written In The Star')
Rika's Pov
"Darling, are you alright?"
'Mom, I think I will be giving birth. My child will be coming out."
"Then we must get ready. You over there, gather some horses with you and guard the entrance to here." said Thunder Wing. He was selected to be the new leader of this herd. " It will be alright."
"Mom, it's so painful"
"Don't worry dear. It's like that. It will be finish soon. Push harder, dear. Push harder."
" Rika, don't give up, okay? Even though, my brother is not here with you, it doesn't matter. Because I can be his replacement . I have loved you ever since we are young. I don't care that you like me or not, as long as that I'll keep loving you."
"Thank you, Thunder... Wing. Uhh...AHHHHHHHH!"
"Don't give up on you child, remember. I'll try to pull it out, okay."
"No... You don't...have to...I want my child to... come out by itself. I want my child... to be as strong and brave as his... father........................ AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"You are very brave Rika, to suffer because of this living creature that will be brought to Earth." said Thunder Wing.
The sky was getting dark. It's starting to rain heavily. Thunder Wing flap open his wing and covered me. After an hour, finally, the cried of a calf was heard. And that's how my child was brought to Earth safely. I wanted to see our child. I want to know how he look like, did it look like me or maybe its father. I try to bent over. It's quite hard and painful to do that, but I must see it.
"My child." It was a 'he'. Even though he was just a small pony but it makes me happy. I lick him to clean the blood off his body. He was still breathing but it does not open its eyes.
"Come on son. Get up. Open your eyes." He was weak they said.
"Honey, I'm sorry to say this but, I think he can't last until tonight. He's too weak. He can't even opens his eyes."
" No mom, you are wrong. He will live, I know it. After all we did, I know he won't give up. He's been in my womb for 9 months. I know he won't just give up like that." Everyone is starting to warn me.
"Just leave this child alone, Rika. Just look at him. I think he's not even moving. He's too weak"
"Yeah, just look at it. There's a mark on its back. He looks weird. Oh, come on. Let's just leave this place." two of my best friends begin to pull me away from my child. My child was lying near me. When I moved away, he dropped down.
"Mama...Don't leave me mama...Please...I'm scare. I..don't want to be alone, mama..."said my child.
"Son" he was trying to get up on his little leg. He was walking unsteadily. He was trying to walk to me.
"Did you see that."
"He lives."
"Come here my son. Just a little more." he finally reaches me.
"Mama...Don't leave me again. I... don't like... to be all alone. Mama...I love you...You are so warm. Me like it." I hold my son tighter with my wing. He snuggled me. "Mama..."
"Yes, honey."
"I'm hungry."
"That's okay son. Here, try sucking here. That's a good boy." my eyes were flowing with tears. He was so small, yet intelligent. 'Intelligent'?!. I'll name my son...'Ken'
Day after day, time passes so quickly. Ken was getting stronger every day. He was as active as any horses. He is a great child from 'Mother Nature'. God bless him. When ever I see Ken, it'll make me feel happy again.
"Mama, look what I've brought for you." Ken handed me a feather.
"Ken, whose feather is this? Where do you get it?
"It's from my wing, mama. It's my feather. It came out suddenly. But I want you to keep it, so that you can remember me always."
"Always?"
"Always, mama. Put it on your fur on your head, mama."
"Okay, son. Okay." Ken flew up and put the feather on top of my head. It was nice of him to do that.
It was about the fourth time we have to move to other places. Humans were everywhere. We have to be careful. Once the human caught us, we won't have a chance on coming back.
"Ken, remember to stay close to me, okay?
"Sure mama. I will." Ken started to run.
"Ken, what have I told you. Stay close to me." Without second later, the human surrounded Ken.
"I better run. Mama, mama. Ahh." Ken was caught.
"We better run Rika!" said Thunder Wing.
"My son, how about my son. I have to save him."
"Rika, we have to make a run for it. The human are using bow and arrow.
"Mama, mama. Help. Don't leave me."
"Ken, Ken. No." I can't stay there long. Arrows were everywhere.
"Where is mama? Where is mama? Is she leaving me again because I didn't obey her. No. Don't do that mama. Don't do that. Come back. Come BACK! No, please.~ I'll be a good boy from now on mama. I promise... I Promise. Please come back."
I can hear my son, calling for me, calling for help. I have left my son. I fail to save him. I've fail to become a good mother. As we go away from that place, I can no longer hear his voice.
"Oh, no! He's gone forever."
Thunder Wing: "Come on, Rika. He's gone now. We can have another child if you want."
Rika: "You don't understand. You don't understand at all. Ken was my child. I have responsible for him. Now he is gone, my life is nothing but ash now. Everything is gone...everything is gone..."
Thunder Wing: "I'm sorry Rika. I don't know."
I was holding on to the feather that Ken gave me that day. It was just that happy day. He was my only child. He was just a child "Mother Nature'. Why do you have to be so mean? I'll never forget him...Never. I've promised him that I'll be by his side. He hates to be lonely. What have I done? I've spoiled Ken's life.
Back To Reality
" We don't expect you to be alive, Ken."
"Grandpapa. What'd happen to my...mama? Is she still here?
"She would be here if she hasn't been thinking about you every day."
"What do you mean, grandpapa?"
"Your mother is...dead, due to sadness. She can't accept the fact that her son has gone.
"No, mama...no. She can't be dead. All this years, I expected her to be alive, waiting for me to come back. I've waited her so long. Why didn't she?" I cried once more. It was painful when I came to know that, my mama didn't really want to leave me. She loves me and care about me until she died because of me.
"I'm sorry, my child. Is there anything we can make it up for you?
"No. Thanks for telling me the truth. I've to go now." I walked away.
"Hey, Thunder Wing. Who is that human you are talking with just now? I don't know that you can speak human."
"He's not a human. He's Ken. Rika's son... my step son. Sorry, Ken. We should have rescue you no matter how dangerous it is. I'm so sorry."
