LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

105. New Secret

Oma Laras interrogates Danira from her gaze, looking at the gesture of Danira who is not like ordinary people.

" Who are you ?".

Deg*

Danira is surprised to hear the question Oma Laras, whether Oma Laras suspects him, or Oma Laras has found out who he really is, her hand squeezed her wedding dress again just as much as the first time she married Gavino, the difference if the former who threw a lot of accusations and questions is Gavino, now changed with Oma Laras.

Is Oma going to ask me to separate from her granddaughter. Inner Danira.

" What does Oma mean ?".

" Just answer, who are you really?, why does your name have a noble title in front of it, then what is your relationship with the Brahm sultanate dating the ruler of the kingdom in Java ?". Oma Laras threw a lot of questions at Danira. Hearing that Danira fell silent, lowered her head. Don't know what to say.

" Are you really the daughter of King Adiwilaga Batara Brahmacari ?". Danira was still silently looking down, weighing up should she tell the truth.

One second

Two seconds

Three seconds

" Right Oma, I'm his daughter ". Danira said honestly, nodding her head. Oma Laras trembled, her eyes bulged, covering her mouth in shock, she was very surprised to hear Danira's confession. Unexpectedly Oma Laras came down from the sofa, then put both knees on the floor, then kowtowed like paying respect to Danira, of course it made Danira surprised, then came to sit on the floor.

" What is Oma doing?, why prostrate like this ?". Danira asked, trying to get Oma Laras up.

" Sorry...!! I'm sorry I'm late to realize who you really are ". Oma Laras said, clenching her hands in front of Danira, seeing that made Danira even more uncomfortable.

" Oma please don't be like this, I am also God's opening man who must be treated special, let's just sit on top, I beg you ". Pinta Danira held onto Oma Laras' arm, then took a seat right next to her.

" How come, haven't you already....!". Oma Laras did not continue her words, she continued to look into Danira's eyes.

" I'm still alive, Oma, I never died as reported. I also don't know what reason you took out my death certificate and even deleted everything about me from the outside world ". Oma Laras increasingly gasp at Danira's words.

" Where is your mother now, son ?". Ask Oma Laras. Danira's tears had welled up in her eyes, she looked down.

" All my family is gone, Oma, they were killed in our house ". Danira replied shaking. Again Oma Laras was aghast at the news she had just heard.

" Oh my God, what really happened. Then where have you been all this time, son ?". Oma asked, her eyes had been wet from tears.

" You put me in a boarding house with his best friend Oma, and I grew up there ". Danira answered with a smile. Danira told me about the incident that night. Oma Laras was in shock, He did not expect that such a good person could be killed sadistically.

" Oh my God, how unlucky your fate is, son, Oma can't imagine how much you've suffered all this time. Oma also could not stop thinking why there was such a person who could do such a vile thing to your family ".

" It's okay Oma, I've given everything, I just pray that the culprit will quickly repent ".

" Oma....!!, how did Oma get to know my parents ?". Danira asked who was also curious. It seems Oma Laras knows a lot about her family, Danira thought.

" Oma doesn't know your parents very closely, just knows. It used to be about 40 years ago when Oma and Opa had a visit to keratonan, Oma had met once, they were very friendly. Your parents welcomed us very well even though it was our first meeting, your beautiful and graceful mother, she was a very charming woman, her beautiful eyes were exactly like your eyeballs ".

" Then about 2 years later, Oma and opa were invited again when the coronation of your father became king, at that time your mother was declared pregnant with you, their first child after a long wait" Oma Laras said, danira's eyes warmed up, his heart was happy to hear the story of his parents even though a little but there was Oma Laras speech that confused Danira. Oma Laras got up from her seat, walked up to a cupboard made of teak, then took something from inside.

" Old wait?, didn't mom and dad already have sister Shena their first child ?". Danira asked confusedly, Oma shook her head.

" She's not your parents' daughter, they adopted Shena from infancy, because your parents were long married and had no children, until they agreed to adopt a baby. Oma only knew the story until there ". Oma replied, while walking closer to Danira again. Of course the news he had just heard made Danira shocked in disbelief. Danira was silent for a moment, his mind was floating around trying to digest a new secret, which he had just learned.

" That's why from the beginning Oma has always been watching you and Khalisa. Oma was suspicious that she wasn't your biological daughter, because you didn't have any resemblance at all ". Danira was still speechless, her heart still had a hard time believing all this. Until Danira realized, when Oma Laras put something on Danira's lap.

" What is this Oma ?".

" Open it ". Oma said, asking Danira to open the photo album. Danira slowly opened it, there were old school photos, still in black and white. Danira returns to see Oma Laras, asking for an explanation.

" These are the photos of Oma and opa coming to your family's kingdom first. Actually Opa who more often visit there because of the work, but Oma several times invited, it was also because Oma who insisted wanted to join ". Oma Laras laughed, remembering her past and her husband.

" You see this ". Show Oma Laras in a photo, there are 6 people lined up neatly.

" This Is Your Kakung Mu, Sultan Agung Abhimanyu Brahmacari ". Appoint Oma Laras in a photo of a man with a firm and wise face, with a high posture contains. "this photo of the eyes of your daughter, Sasmaya Grand Sultan princess Brahmacari, when she was young, this is a photo of your daughter's eyes, very similar to you, have you ever met them ?". Asked Oma Laras, Danira shook her head, her tears had fallen on the picture of the mother's face. Oma Laras stroked Danira's shoulder.

" If this one you must have known him, right ?". Point Oma again at the picture of men and women standing on the left side. Danira nodded.

" They're Mom and Dad ". Danira answered, her tears flooded her cheeks, looking at her old family photo. Oma washed the tears on Danira's cheeks lovingly.

" You have exactly the same nature as your daughter's eyes, gentle yet firm, loving yet wise. If they're still alive, they'll be very proud of you Danira ". Oma hugged Danira.

" Are both Eyang Kakung and Eyang my daughter very good Oma ?".

" Good words cannot describe them both, they are very generous and compassionate, even in the past when opa efforts were falling, your eyes are happy to offer cooperation. Then when the lean season hit in almost all corners of the country. Opa sent him a letter asking for help. At that time opa was very resigned if your eyes could not help, because seeing the time situation was very difficult. But it turns out that the next 5 days, your kakung eyes sent people to deliver the many staples here, then there is a letter stating that all the basic ingredients that exist, divided equally to the people who need ".

" Eyang kakung and Eyang your daughter are so many meritorious to the Oma family and opa, that we do not know what to repay her ". Said Oma Laras, telling a flashback to the history of her meeting with her husband to the family Danira, Danira continues to listen carefully, although she has never met at all Eyang Kakung and his daughter, Eyang, but Danira could imagine how good they were, emanating from the way Oma Laras told their story with a happy face.

" Do you know, Oma really likes the personality of the kinship family. Until Oma ever dreamed in the heart, May one day, children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren Oma there who match with their descendants. God hears Oma's hope. Unexpectedly, you and Gavino became married couples. Oma was very grateful and happy ". Oma Laras said smilingly revealing some teeth that were almost exhausted, Danira returned a smile and then returned to look at the photos on the album.

" Danira can Oma ask you something ?". Danira nodded.

" If your father leaves his throne, and you are declared dead.Who is the king now?, after Oma, your father has no brothers, because the royal family is very difficult to have children, because the royal family is very difficult to have children, as a result, neither Eyang Kakung nor your father chose not to have a concubine ". Danira was silent, she also did not know what to answer, Danira often searched for articles about the family of the tyranny, but everything seemed closed, their personal data could not access Sarah. The daily news was only preaching a good performance, without preaching life in there.

" I'm sorry Oma, Danira can't answer Oma's questions, because Danira doesn't know much about Danira's own family" Danira said. Oma Laras just nodded and understood what Danira was going through.

Oh my God.. So sister Shena is not my brother ? and who is the king now?, why are more and more puzzles popping up. Inner Danira wondered.

" Did Gavino know who you were ?". Ask Oma again, Danira turned her head and shook her head.

" Not yet Oma ". Honest Danira.

Outdoor.

Gavino walked around looking for Danira. Gavino who had gone out to pick up a phone call from Sean asked Danira to return to their room first, but when Gavino entered his room, he did not find his wife there.

" Mommy where's Danira ?". Gavino asked when she saw Calina who had just come out of the kitchen.

" Where mami knows, mami doesn't pocket your wife ". Said Ny. Calina relax.

" I'm serious mi ". Gavino.

" Mommy two rius Gavino ". Miss Calina replied, Gavino cut her lips back with her mother's answer.

" Where is your wife ?". Ask Mrs calina back.

" If I knew where she was, I wouldn't ask my mom ". Ujare Gavino, pass go find Danira again.

" Ddiihhh mami just asked Gavin, that's sewot. But yes, if he knew, he wouldn't have asked". Ms. calina said, speaking for herself. Then lifting both his shoulders passed away.

Gavino stepped in the back, maybe his wife was there, Gavino thought. But arriving there, he did not see Danira who there were only a few family members who were chatting, and the servants who passed by.

" Where the hell is he, why don't you go tell me first ". Gavino was upset. Gavino raised his hand, calling for a female servant.

"Yes, sir ".

" Do you see where Mrs Danira is ?". Gavino asked, as the servant had stood before him.

" I saw him enter Oma's room ". Answer while looking down. Without saying any more, Gavino walked quickly to the Oma's seven rooms.

**

" Why didn't you tell Gavino?". asked Oma Laras, puzzled as to why Danira was still keeping her identity a secret.

" It's okay, Oma, I'm not ready. Sooner or later, Gavino will know by himself ". Danira said, smiling again.

" How much more.....".

Checkread *

The sound of the door opening shifted the two women's eyes. Danira immediately pulled her burqas down, closing her eye area again. A tall and handsome man appeared from behind the door.

" Oh so it turns out Oma kidnapped my wife ?". Gavino walked up to them.

" Kidnap ?".

" Yes.I went around looking for my wife, it turns out she's here, it's the same Oma stole it from me ". Gavino said, folding his hands to his chest. Oma Laras hits Gavino's leg with her stick, quickly dodging Gavino.

" You're a brash grandson, you think Oma's a criminal ". Upset Oma Laras. Gavino ignored Oma's words, and Gavino approached, and sat down beside Danira.

" What are you talking about, why just the two of you. Is this a secret ?".

" Of course, this is top secret. You can't even know ". Whisk Oma, leaning her back against the back of the sofa.

" Really ?". Gavino said again, then his eyes caught what was in Danira's lap.

" Cckkk...so Oma told me about Oma's favorite kingdom to my wife too ?". Said Gavino, sitting leaning back spread his left hand against the sofa.

" Certainly Oma had to tell it, she also had to know the history of how Oma got to know the family.....". The speech of Oma Laras stopped, when Danira touched the knee of Oma Laras. Oma Laras sighed.

" Are Oma not tired of telling the fairy tale family over and over, I was even tired of Oma praising them as a child, telling them their kindness ". Gavino sneered at Oma Laras .

" They're not Gavino's fairy tale family, they're right, you're ". Oma Laras growled, in Gavino's disbelief.

Since long ago, when Oma Laras told about the tyranny, Gavino never believed it, according to Gavino it was all a fairy tale. Although Oma gave the photos as evidence, but Gavino still did not believe, Gavino argued that it was only the Oma's essay because he was too fond of stories about the kingdom. Although Gavino had heard on the island of Java there was still one royal system that still stood, he still did not believe it, according to him it was just a business company, under the guise of a kingdom. In order to attract the interest of people who are happy with such historical stories.

" You don't believe too much, Oma sometimes likes making things up. I'm sure the family that Oma told me about never existed ". As Gavino whispered to Danira, Danira turned to look at her husband's face, looking at Gavino full of question marks on his head. Gavino stood up and looked at Oma Laras.

" Oma me and Danira are going home to Jakarta now ".

" Now?, why ?". Tanya Oma Laras was surprised to hear Gavino's sudden speech.

" I have an urgent job, so I have to go home now ".

" You're the only one coming home, Danira let's stay here first ". Said Oma Laras, holding Danira's hand.

" Can't be so Oma, we just got married earlier, time has to separate again ". Reject Gavino not accept.

" That's it, Oma doesn't care. It's your own fault why hurry up so ". Cuek Oma keeps holding Danira's hand.

Danira sees her husband's sour face, although Danira still wants to stay longer with Oma Laras, she wants to hear more stories about her family, but Danira must not be selfish, she should be more concerned with her husband, she should go wherever her husband goes.

" Y....!! Danira joined mas Gavin to go home to Jakarta first yes, next time Danira will visit here again, meet Oma. Now Danira must join Gavin's mas, because it is impossible for Danira to let Danira's husband go alone, what else she does not allow Danira to stay, Danira will sin if she defies. Is that okay, Oma ?". Danira said softly, carefully giving understanding. Oma Laras looks at Danira, then turns to look at Gavino annoyed.

" You're lucky vino, to have a very good and obedient wife like Danira. Oma just told me never to hurt Vin, because Oma loves him so much ". Said Oma Laras, with teary eyes, Gavino saw his oman approaching.

" I promise you, I'll never hurt her ".
