Love for the Heir's Wife

Chapter 18 - The Revealing of Lies

Daffin immediately got up from his seat and Elvira who was still stunned stared at him highlighted the piece of paper still held by Daffin.

While Sakti who did not expect the meeting of Anya and Daffin in the room also looked at it.

“Honey,” greet Daffin to his wife.

Still looking at her husband, Elvira then slightly added a step to approach Daffin.

“Mas Daffin, you have another guest?” Elvira pretends to ask even though she immediately floated a look of dislike to see Anya.

“Honey, this ..”

Daffin held back his words suddenly because he realized a paper he was still holding, but Elvira was already nearby and found a look of anxiety from her husband.

“Bu Elvira,” greet Anya with full respect to her.

“Darling, are you here? Why not tell me?” ask Daffin who is trying to relieve his anxiety in front of Elvira.

Daffin immediately folded the paper and acted as if there was nothing important in the contents.

“Do I have to tell my husband first if I want to meet?” ask Elvira back.

“Of course not, Honey. You can meet me anytime you want. I mean if you tell me you're coming, I'll have my men pick you up.”

“No need, I brought my own car. By the way, is there anything important you guys are talking about? Do I have to go out first?”

“Darling, nothing important. Anya just reported about work.”

“Oh yes?”

“Iya Darling. Anya, you can come out now,” Daffin said.

Anya immediately agreed and immediately left the room followed by Sakti who also came out by closing the door of the room.

“Mas, you why?” investigate Elvira who found the look of Daffin's face looks unusual.

“I? I'm not okay-why.” Daffin is just plain ordinary.

“Unfortunately you are not good at lying like this, Mas.”

Elvira immediately grabbed the paper in Daffin's hands, apparently from earlier as Elvira said hello to them, she had noticed the look on her face that looked nervous like hiding something very important.

Elvira always hoped that her suspicions were wrong, but for her there was no harm if she checked the contents of the paper.

“What is it?” ask Elvira.

“Nothing, Honey. Just a regular report. Here, we better go out now, how?” take Daffin and take the paper back from Elvira's hand.

“You hid something from me, Mas?”

“Nothing, Babe,” elak Daffin.

“Restore the paper, I want to see it,” pinta Elvira raised her hand.

“Honey, this is nothing.”

“Let me see it.” Elvira realizes something is stuck, the more she forces Daffin to show the contents of the paper, Daffin even more panicked.

“Honey,” hold Daffin.

“Give me!” pinta Elvira firmly, Daffin finally willing to hand it over with resignation.

Elvira opened and looked at the contents, the next second she took a heavy breath as she closed her eyes for a while.  Still trying to withstand the turmoil of the fire of anger that began to burn because of the possibility of finding the lie of Daffin again which this time is very capable of making his heart break into pieces.

“Honey,” Daffin who immediately rested at his feet because Elvira knew his lie this time.

“Mas, Anya is pregnant? Her age is two months older. Why would a secretary give this examination to her superiors? Is that your son?” ask Elvira.

Daffin could not even hear the question from his wife but he could only be silent with regret.

“Tell me. Mas, I was asking!”

Elvira begins to emphasize her words because Daffin is just silent, the more he sees Daffin silenced the more Elvira prepares to accept the harsh reality again in her life.

“I asked once again, is that your son?”

“Iya, Darling. I'm sorry,” regretted Daffin.

“Mas! You've been lying to me all this time?”

Elvira felt she could no longer resist her disappointment, what she just knew made her very hit especially it turned out that Daffin had been lying to her all along.

“Darling, I'm sorry. I don't know how to say this to you, I'm so afraid you'll leave me.”

“Why are you doing this to me, Mom? You gave me all this happiness all along is it just because to cover up your lies?!”

“Not like that, Darling.”

Elvira throws the paper and rushes to leave, but Daffin holds it in his arms and hugs her from behind.

“Honey, I beg you to listen to all my explanations,” hold Daffin.

“Let me go, Mas.”

“No, I won't let you go before you listen to my explanation.”

“If you don't want to let go of me now, I'll never want to talk to you again,” threatened Elvira who made Daffin by being forced to loosen his hands from his wife's body so that Elvira could freely go from him.

While looking at the way Elvira left him, Daffin felt that his wife now had a great disappointment in him.

It felt like he could no longer catch up to Elvira but could only be stunned to look at Elvira's back which had moved away and disappeared behind the door of her room.

---

Elvira who walked in haste while holding back the anger that seemed to peak made him no longer able to care about the greetings of some employees who knew him.

Elvira, who has now entered the elevator and took her phone and contacted someone, waited a while for her call to be connected.

“About the place I have booked for today, please cancel it,” pinta Elvira.

“Good, Miss Elvira,” says someone across the phone.

...----------------...

The next night when Elvira had just returned from work, she found that family members including Daffin had been seen gathering in a family room adjacent to the road to her room.

It looks like they are chatting usually discussing something like a family in general.

Elvira did not focus on paying attention so she did not know the essence of their discussion, and it was also not attracting his attention.

“Elvira, you just got home? Have you had dinner?” ask Dewanti attentively.

“Iya, Oma. I have eaten because there are activities from outside,” replied Elvira.

“Quick shower first there, later join chatting here yes,” invite Dewanti.

“Mm, sorry yes Oma, I feel a bit tired and dizzy. I'll just take a break,” subtly reject Elvira.

“Darling, are you sick? I'll take you to the doctor?” Daffin seemed worried about her.

“No need, Mas. I just need to rest, you guys just continue chatting.”

Elvira was immediately excused to continue walking towards her room.

“It's Daffin, just let him. He also chose to take care of the foundation, if tired in the work, it has become a risk.” Meisya also refused to arrest Daffin who was about to catch up with Elvira.

“Iya, Ma.”

“Oh yes, Nevan. You rarely sleep at home lately, do you sleep in your apartment?” ask Dewanti to Nevan who sat with them.

“Iya, Oma. I really liked my room there. Giving brother Daffin is second to none,” said Nevan praised the kindness of his brother.

“Hmm, but still much more comfortable staying here right? Because we can gather like this, rather than you living there alone,” Meisya said.

“Iya, Mama.” Nevan just assented.

“Daffin, how is work in the office? Will there be another big project?” ask Dewanti.

“Iya, Oma. So far everything has gone well without any obstacles,” replied Daffin.

“Great you,” praise Dewanti.

“Mama if you want to praise my son, sometimes also should praise his mother dong,” Meisya's advice.

“You still want to get compliments from Mama? You get a lot of compliments from people out there. Mama hopes that as you show your good self-respect in front of people, you should also be able to apply in this house,” said Dewanti who often found Meisya unpleasant words to Elvira.

“Iya, Ma.” Meisya felt lazy to argue with him choosing to just agree.

Without them all knowing, Daffin still can't stop thinking about his problem with Elvira.

His body was here with his family, but his mind still kept on remembering Elvira somehow what Elvira was doing in the room.

...----------------...

After a while Daffin was with them, he decided to leave them to go to the room. Upon arriving in the room, he had found a pensive-looking Elvira sitting on the bed.

“Sayang.” Daffin approached her, but like getting a rejection from Elvira who immediately threw away her face.

Had he not thought about and cared for the feelings of the rest of the family in this house, Elvira swore she would definitely not have come home tonight.

She remains principled, no matter what problems she is facing with her husband, at least she does not want others to know.

“I want to talk,” said Daffin.

“I want a break,” said Elvira who was cold to him.

Without caring about her husband, though, Elvira pulls the blanket and lies behind her even though she knows it will be very uncomfortable having to sleep in one bed with the person she wants to avoid most for a while.

“Honey, I beg your pardon. I'll explain everything.” Daffin still tried to get him to talk but still did not get a response.

“I'm really sorry, I never meant to lie to you like this. I also just found out that she was pregnant, I was also very frustrated when I found out while you have forgiven me for my past mistakes.

Daffin sighed for a moment before continuing his words. “I'm just too afraid to lose your affection so I don't dare to disappoint you again, you know how long I've been craving love from you.”

Daffin said in a soft-sounding tone, in his mind whether Elvira would listen to him or not.

While Elvira could only shed her tears in silence who listened to the words of Daffin. All the anger, disappointment and regret now raged into one on his chest.

Despite all Daffin's faults for him, Elvira also feels very resentful of herself because she thinks it all starts with her mistakes.

The state of their relationship like this is able to create distance between them so they have to live days that feel can not be as warm as before.

Although Daffin still trying to reach out for forgiveness and love again, it does not necessarily make Elvira can ease her disappointment.

All the smiles and forms of attention shown in front of other family members, especially to the Dewanti, are in fact only a complement to the charade of the heart that has now been cracked.

However Elvira thought, he still could not find a way out of this problem. He could have gotten Daffin back, but he also couldn't let Daffin take his responsibility for his biological son. 

However, Elvira also felt unable to accept Daffin again because knowing the fact her husband had a daughter with another woman was very painful for her.
