15 Years Old (The Secret)

Section 28

Arriving at the restaurant.

Abela and Nando entered the restaurant and ordered food.

“Wah is the restaurant not too fancy?” Ask Abela.

“Once it's okay, what do you want to order?” Ask Nando.

“I want to order steak.” Said Abela.

I ordered 2 steaks.

“So how do you allow Darel and I to eat together?” Ask Nando.

“Why suddenly want to invite me to eat with my son?” Ask Abela.

“I really like kids. So how?” Ask Nando.

“How is this? Surely his father will come too, but did not Mr. Nando also give cake to his son Arum mom? I'd better just accept.” Abela said in her heart.

“Why shut up? So how?” Ask Nando.

“Iya can.” Said Abela.

“Yes, I will order food at one of the quite famous restaurants in the capital. When are you guys?” Ask Nando.

“What if tomorrow the day after?” Ask Abela.

“Bby, thank you.” Nando.

“Because tomorrow after the day Adriano is on a flight schedule.” Abela said in her heart.

Not long after, the food came.

“Happy meal.” Nando.

“Happy meal too.” Said Abela.

While they were having lunch, Abela's husband called.

“Wait a minute, I'd like to receive a phone first.” Said Abela.

“Ok.” Nando.

Abela went to the back to receive a call from her husband.

“Hallo, what's up mas?” Ask Abela.

“Where are you now? Quickly come here right now, the condition of mama Antika is very critical.” Adriano.

“There was a doctor treating him so I didn't have to go there.” Said Abela.

“Why do you talk like that? You have no pity on him, all this time he suffered.” Adriano.

“That's his life choice.” Said Abela.

“Alright then, but don't let you regret.” Adriano.

“I won't regret.” Abela said, then closed the phone.

Abela and Nando return to the office. But Abela was so agitated at the thought of her mother, she promised never to see her again but her little heart said that she was very worried about her mother.

“What's up? Looks like you are very anxious.” Ask Nando.

“The woman is being critical at the moment.” Said Abela.

“Then you want to go there or not? Your current choice will determine everything.” Nando.

“I promise I won't see him again.” Said Abela.

“I appreciate your decision but think if you were that woman, it would hurt a lot. He must have had a reason why he left you at that time.” Nando.

Suddenly Abela shed her tears.

“I parted with him when I was 8 years old, after which I never heard from him again. My grandmother told me that she remarried a rich man and had a son. Then when I went to Bali with my husband, I saw him with a man and I called him but he left me. Since then I promised myself I would never see her again.” Said Abela.

“Try to find out or listen to an explanation from him.” Nando.

“There is nothing more to explain. Even my grandmother forbade me to meet her.” Said Abela.

“Grandma said the woman was not a good mother to me and grandma was very disappointed with her.” Said Abela.

“But after all the woman is your grandmother's biological child.” Nando.

“Because the woman was the cause of the cracking of my family and the woman who was also suing for divorce my papa even accused my papa of cheating even though the woman who cheated and betrayed my papa.” Said Abela.

“Did you see it yourself?” Ask Nando.

“My grandmother told me.” Said Abela.

“It looks like something was covered up by your mother and grandmother about the truth that actually happened.” Nando.

“My grandmother always said the truth happened, it was the woman who did not care about me.” Said Abela.

“Let's go to the hospital right now. I just don't want you to regret.” Nando.

“No, I don't want to. I don't want to see that woman.” Shouted Abela.

Nando was headed to the hospital.

On arrival at the hospital, Abela did not get out of the car.

“Quick down.” Nando.

“I'll take a taxi and return to the office.” Abela snapped, but Nando prevented Abela.

“Meet him, he needs you I beg.” Nando said with the sincerity of his heart.

Abela meets her mother, and Nando waits for her in the car.

Abela in front of her mother's room with a very flat expression. But she overheard her mother's conversation with someone on the phone.

“I want to stay here forever. I just want to enjoy the rest of my life with the people I love so much. I'm asking you to divert everything into my daughter's name. Don't worry about me, oh yeah I visit him a lot too. She seemed so happy to see her loved ones living happily, she always saw her daughter from up there. He is very similar to her.” Said Antika.

Abela heard all the talk of Antika, Abela was increasingly wondering what is meant by all the conversations of her mother. Suddenly he went straight into his mother's room. Antika immediately closed his phone.

“Abela.” Antika said very surprised and happy because his daughter visited him.

“What did your conversation mean just now? Who is he you mean?” Ask Abela.

“No mean anything dear, mama just call mama's friend abroad. Have you eaten yet? Your husband bought me food, we ate with yuk.” Said Antika.

“It turns out your candlestick is fine yes, enough already pretend or your skit. I'm really sick of seeing you. Why should you? Why should you be my mother? If I could turn the clock around, I would choose not to be born to a woman like you.” Said Abela very upset full of emotion as she shed her tears.

“He is very similar to her, he must be happy to see his daughter from up there.” The word Antika in the heart.

“You may hate me at any time, but remember one thing that forever mom will always love you. Mama is happy to be your mother, mama is even grateful to have been called mother by you dear. My mom will always wish you the best, baby. Mom loves you, I'm sorry. Mama will fulfill your request by not showing up again in your life.” Antika said, then he pulled out the breathing apparatus and also the infection.

“I love you my beautiful daughter, your mother must be happy to see you from up there, I will tell your mother that you grew up to be a very beautiful woman and many love you.” The word Antika in the heart. Then Antika fainted due to shortness of breath due to his breathing apparatus that he pulled out.

“What you do, don't do it don'tkkkkkkkk.” Shouted Abela while crying looking at her mother who fainted. He called all the doctors to save his mother.

“Please save him, quickly save my mother I beg the doctor quickly save my mother, I am guilty of her. He has to come back alive, I beg doctor.” Abela said while crying very loudly.

He waited in front of his mother's treatment room while crying.

Abela calls Nando to come to her.

"My mother's mother." Said Abela.

"Wait there, I'll come for you." Nando.

Not long after, Nando came and approached Abela.

“It's okay, your mother will definitely be fine.” Said Nando suddenly hugging and calming Abela.

“He did that because he wanted to disappear from my life. I shouldn't have told her that, what if she didn't survive and left for good. I will definitely feel guilty and bear sins for the rest of my life.” Abela said as she continued to cry.

"Please your mind, everything will be fine and your mother will be safe." Nando.
