That morning at Grandma Tiny's house, Clarissa was seen just bathing her baby.
"Rissa," Grandma Tiny's voice rang out, Clarissa turned her head, she saw the old woman standing at the door of the room with a grinning smile on her face.
"grandmother?" Clarissa smiled. Tiny's grandmother walked up to Clarissa and sat down next to her. Then, the old woman took the child Clarissa from her hands.
"Will Grandma go to the market?" ask Clarissa.
"Yes, son." Tiny's grandmother smiled at the baby currently in her arms.
"Clarissa, look at your son" Grandma Tiny ordered. Clarissa also looked warmly at the tiny face of the baby who was just a few days he was born.
"He needs his father, son." Tiny's grandmother tried to persuade Clarissa.In the instant, Clarissa averted her eyes.
"Oh yes, Grandma. Rissa forgot to suckle him." Clarissa was about to take over her son because she wanted to avoid the talk that Grandma Tiny had on her.
"Don't switch the conversation, son!" granny Tiny.
"Grandmother knows, you love that young man so much" said Grandma Tiny. Clarissa lowered her gaze while shaking her head.
"Rissa doesn't love him anymore, Grandma," Clarissa argued.
"You can't lie about how you feel, son, the young man has already regretted his mistake, you should have forgiven him, let him make amends.he also loves you so much" Tiny's grandmother said.
"Rissa has forgiven him, Grandma, but Clarissa can't be with him." Clarissa spoke softly while holding back her tears from falling.
"At least, think of your son, he's a daughter. He's gonna need a father figure who's gonna protect him." Tiny's grandmother turned the baby back into her mother's hands. Clarissa is talking about Grandma Tiny.
"Grandma just goes to the market first huh, Rissa." Tiny's grandmother stroked Clarissa's head and passed away from there.
Clarissa looked at the little face of her son, a face very similar to Marquez's, very similar. The tears that Clarissa was originally weathered, now she can no longer hold it. she kissed the baby's cheek until it was clearly visible.
"I'm sorry, Mom, son." Clarissa whispered softly in her son's ear.
"Mother loves your father very much, but we must not spoil the happiness of others, son." she whispered again.even the tears were getting louder there.Make the sound of her son's crying break very hard. Clarissa immediately calmed her child and suckled him.

As Clarissa was busy nursing her child, the sound of knocking on the door was heard from outside the house.
"Who's visiting this early?" murmured Clarissa.he held her baby to invite him to open the door of the house. Because, at that time, Grandma Tiny had not returned from the market.
Clarissa turned the doorknob of the house, and when the door was opened, Clarissa's eyes widened when she saw a familiar woman in both eyes standing there. Clarissa looked at the woman, and she was none other than Hanna.
"Hanna, you?"
"Can I come in?" hanna asked with her cynical look.
"Please," Clarissa gave way to Hanna and allowed her to sit down. Hanna was seated and followed by Clarissa. Clarissa was so afraid to see the look on Hanna's face that was not as friendly as usual.
"How can you give birth to a son who is not your husband? you even know the guy's getting married, you've come messing things up! you and your son ruined all my happiness!" hanna exclaimed with a sharp look at Clarissa.
"Hanna, I'm sorry. I never meant to ruin your happiness, for God's sake. I never expected to be with Marquez again. I'm going back to London, but I beg you to wait for my son to be a month old, I promise to stay away from this city" Clarissa cried with great helplessness as she held her son tighter in her arms.
"Do you want to escape reality? after you screwed things up?" exciting Hanna. Clarissa just shook her head while wiping her tears.
"Hanna, I'm sorry! I was right - right-"
"Shut up!" hatch Hanna. Hanna stood up - suddenly she took the son of Clarissa from her hand.
"Hanna, don't. please!" Clarissa cried and held her child so as not to escape from the tag. However, Clarissa did not want to hurt her child.until she let go of her grip.arriving the baby who is currently in Hanna's arms, the baby who is currently in Hanna's arms, crying so hard.
"Hanna, give me back my son!" pinta Clarissa is approaching Hanna.
"Shut up!" shout Hanna.
"Hanna, please! my son was crying," Clarissa as she pleased and pleaded with Hanna. For whatever reason, Clarissa could not hear the cry of the baby's voice, she was so tormented by the loud cries that broke the house.
"Are you kasian with your son?" ask Hanna with emphasis. Clarissa nodded her head and rubbed her wet face.
"Please get my son," Clarissa pleaded.
"If you're dealing with him. Then why did you separate him from his father?" exciting Hanna. Clarissa was surprised by Hanna's question, Clarissa silenced instantly.
"Did you ever think, the importance of a father to a daughter?" hanna asked back, but Clarissa was still silent.His tears were still pouring down there.
"Hanna." Clarissa said softly.
"Did you never think.who would protect your child in this cruel world?"
"Don't you ever think, mentally, of your son, when all his friends mock him for not having a father?"
"Are you able to answer when he grows up and asks where his father is? can you answer when she asks, why don't you stay with her dad?"
"Can you accept the fact that one day your son will hate you?"
"Hanna" Clarissa shook her head as she closed her eyes, she was so powerless to hear the questions from the woman who was holding her baby
"Clay, do you know? when I was 5 months old, my mother and father separated.For 10 years I never knew where my father was and I never knew what he looked like. I suffered so much, even every day I try to figure out where she is, but my mother never told her."
"Do you know, Clay. Every day I get taunted by all my friends, because I don't have a Dad. I always ask my mom where my dad is? My mom just answered your dad's gone a long way! My mother always answered the same answer when I asked. I felt really hurt that time. I always cry in the school toilet when all my friends laugh at me and call me an illegitimate child."
"But, God is so good, when I was 12 years old, I found out who my father was. It turns out that for 2 years my father was never far from me. For the sake of seeing me, my father who is a businessman, my father who is a businessman, willing to sell toys around my school.he always gives me free toys and comforts me when I cry."
"My father was always looking for a way to meet me. But, my mother always forbade him. Since then, I've always blamed my mother, why is my mother so evil that she separated me from my father? why did my mother forbid my father to meet me. Why did my mother never give me a reason to break up with my father?
"Do you know what, Clay? I had a hard time forgiving my mother back then. I know I was a sinner, but, a mother also sinned by separating a child from her father!" hanna said with a cry. Clarissa is so lost in Hanna's story that she takes over her son from Hanna's hands, and Clarissa tries to hug Hanna.
