Elisha was sitting opposite Eva who was just silent and looking at her nonchalantly. It felt to be angry and cursing was not enough to describe the disappointment that Elisha was currently in.
"If you come just to be quiet, then get out of this. I don't like to see your face like that." Finally Eva spoke as well, she felt uncomfortable seeing Elisha who was just as silent as now.
The Elisha he knew was a woman who always shouted and said harshly when angry. But this time Eva saw the same expression as twelve years ago clearly drawn from the face of her nephew.
The expression when Elisha lost Mama forever. Twelve years ago Elisha had also sat like this as a child staring at Eva in disappointment at being ignored and unloved.
"Twelve years ago. When Mama died, I hoped that even though Papa ignored me, I still had a aunt who loved me. Every day after school I always stood in front of Aunt's room door, hoping Auntie would open it and embrace me who was still grieving. I just want Aunt to say 'Elisa you'll be fine, there's aunty here' that's all, '" Elisha said with teary eyes.
Hearing Elisha's words, Eva was just stunned with an expression of a face that could not be interpreted. Just this time he saw Elisha like this, he thought when he came earlier his nephew would get angry and beat him up.
"Sometimes I get confused as to why we become like this. Tasya and Auntie are my family left, we have to end up like this in the end. Hating each other, ignoring what is this that aunt wants?"
Eva clutched her hands tightly. He felt very cornered, his heart was like slashed, but again the ego so high that he could not express his heart at this time.
"You, Mama you've taken everything from Auntie. We're orphans, only your Aunt Papa has. But since meeting your Mama, since your birth .. aunt started to be ignored."
Elisha let out a heavy sigh, his breathing felt trembling. He no longer had the strength to be angry and cursing. "Why should I be born into an Eduardo family, if I would only hate my own Papa and Aunt." He came back crying, destroyed already the self-defense that he had built all this time.
After a while, Elisha wiped his tears and stood up from his seat. "I don't know what else to behave like, live this punishment because of all the consequences of the actions of my own aunt, I hope one day Aunt realized if I'm not the enemy, I hope one day, not a rival but I'm a Auntie's family."
Elisha turned around and was about to walk away. But suddenly the aunt returned to voice, suddenly she turned back.
"Papa you don't hate you, he actually misses you a lot .. The letters he wants to send to your hostel in Melbourne, aunt hid them all in his desk drawer at the Mansion."
"What-what." Elisha looked at the aunt in disbelief.
"Tante knows you won't forgive aunt, but at least you have to forgive your Papa." Eva finally lowered her ego. All this time he has made too much into the glass for the sake of his obsession with the Brother.
Starting from slandering her own sister-in-law, getting the brother involved in an affair, and hiding the letters that must be sent to Elisha. Did Eva finally regret it? ... Yes, maybe but all that is still covered in the fog of self-ego that is still so high.

In a different place. After that night Sofia regretted being stupid. This afternoon he went back to the workshop, hoping Reynald would be there and forgive him.
Arriving in front of the shophouse, all he found was Jack who had just come out in neat clothes, while the workshop was not open.
I am aware of Sofia's arrival. Jack seems lazy to serve but he is also impossible to avoid. "Why are you here again?"
"Why is the workshop closed, Reynald didn't come today?" ask Sofia.
"Reynald was in an accident last night, he was hit by a man and you know what happened to Elisa's aunt, now he's in a coma in the hospital. You don't have to come to look at me afraid Elisha is getting sadder, just doain let Reynald quickly realize," Jack explained to Sofia.
"W-what, coma," Sofia shrieked with teary eyes.
You, you old fucking lady. Why did you hurt her, inner Sofia.
...**...
After returning home from the police station, Elisa returned to the Mansion to take a bath and change clothes before the night she returned to the hospital. She has decided to keep her husband until she realizes, she hopes her husband will soon realize before their child is born into the world.
As he climbed to the second floor, his steps came to a halt at the end of the stairs. He looked at a door in the corner near the window. That room is the Papa's office.
Believing in disbelief, he wanted to prove all the words of the Aunt. He grabbed the door handle and immediately opened the door.
When stepping inside, the distinctive aroma of the room was still the same as it was. Since returning from abroad this time he entered the room again.
Elisha rolled his gaze around the room, he recalled all the bad memories of the place. Yes, his childhood is indeed more filled with poignant stories.
Elisha stepped into the greatness of the Papa and sat there. He checked several drawers there until he finally found a box containing dozens or possibly hundreds of letters, handwritten from his Papa.
His heart again flinched, because all true papa wrote all the letters to be sent to him. But because of the selfishness of Aunt Eva, all the letters were flowing in the drawer.
Yes, the dormitory where Elisa lives prohibits all access to social media, they are only allowed to call using public phones and send letters. Elisha used to be so sad when all his friends got letters, but he didn't have any.
Of all the letters, he found a letter dated to the month the Papa died. He opened the piece of paper inside the envelope with a trembling hand.
To Elisha, Papa's favorite son. How are you there, son. What dorms there is quite comfortable and you have many friends, until you do not have time to reply to all Papa's letters.
Elisha, as Papa had said in the previous letter, Papa's illness is getting worse, son. Papa knows you must hate Papa so much because of the events in the past.
I don't know how much longer Papa will last, Papa just wants you to know that Papa loves you very much, forgive Papa.
Papa regrets everything, Papa misses you. If you have time, go home, son. Papa needs you now.
Elisha could not hold tightness in his chest as he read all the letters Papa had written. Because of the selfishness of the aunt, he could not see and care for Papa in his last moments.
"Papa, forgive Elisha." The crying broke again. After Reynald's accident, this time he was again struck by another reality that made him feel if all this time he was toyed with by fate.
Grief and sorrow again enveloped the heart of the princess, who thought she had finally found happiness after meeting the prince of her dreams. But it turns out that the nightmare has just begun, he was forced to go through it all by himself with a body condition that requires him to stay strong for the sake of the prospective baby in the womb.
