Ovi continued her story. Tania should have heard all this right from her husband's mouth. Only, there were many things that he ended up interfering with due to misunderstanding between the two people. Not that it precedes Nero. It's just that Tania's attitude, which she thinks has gone too far, makes her have to intervene.
She didn't want this new, corn-like household to crack. The age difference is quite far, it sometimes raises a lot of prejudice. Moreover, Nero was the type of bully man, who chose to accept all the charges rather than explain what really happened.
"Nero wants Andrea married. He feels indebted to you for giving him a job. Especially after he graduated from college, Mas Bram appointed him as a special staff."
Several times Ovi took a breath before continuing the story.
"Nero is honest. He's smart and smart. Only his luck is less fortunate."
"Mas never told me anything. I don't know his past, just know he's papa's co-worker" Tania said.
"You guys just got married. It is also not your own desire. Maybe Nero will tell you a story. Everybody's peroses, honey. Slow down." He advises. Giving understanding to this child is difficult. Age factor is still unstable.
"But I'm hurt." He threw away face. Given there are many lies Nero - or perhaps his own prejudices - that leave him disappointed.
"Honey. Aunt knows very well. You are still young. Shouldn't have accepted all this."
Tania nodded.
"If you ask who sacrificed the most for us. Nero is the one. He sacrificed his life, his love. All his disappointments he swallowed himself. He never was a bully."
"When did you know all this?"
"Since Andrea's death. Not intentionally Auntie same papa you squirm he cry at the tomb when we want to pilgrimage. Since that day everything was revealed."
There are many things they keep secret. Maybe it will go with the passage of time, slowly one by one the veil will be revealed.
Just waiting, will Tania be ready to hear it. Hopefully when that time comes, he is ready to accept it.
"That time, you were a child. It's only been five years. Andrea's sick. His mind is distressed because he was forced to marry your father. While he had to accept the fact that Nero was one of the staff in the office. So, sometimes they still meet."
Ovi continued her story.
"Tante asked for you. But because Nero promised to help Mas Bram to nurse you, so I'm afraid."
Tania's sobs sounded again. The feelings are mixed, all the flavors become one. Among happy because they already know many things, as well as sad, get that reality is not as sweet as hope.
"Nero has lost many times the woman he loved. His mother, Anderea, was also Saskia. His heart must have been hurt. You promised Auntie, yeah. Help heal his wounds." Ovi tightly gripped Tania's fingers.
"Why did aunt say that?"
"Because ..." Words ceased. This is the hardest to deliver. He bet a lot of things, even if Tania would hate him for this confession. "Tante once liked him, but was rejected. At that time he really loved your mother."
Relieved. There was no longer any feeling in his heart. Ovi looked at her nephew.
