Thank You Love
Chapter 39
The place Tanvi was referring to was a regular ice cream counter on the side of the road, a bit away from the apartment.
“You come here often?” asked Fal while enjoying chocolate ice cream.
Tanvi ate strawberry ice cream.
“Free a few times. When I was a child, Ms. Ratna brought me here to cry with my parents.”
DEG!
Fal tensing.
Why did Tanvi call her parents?
He is afraid that he will not be able to hide his big secret about Tanvi for too long.
“Why, Brother?” Tanvi saw the uneasiness of her husband.
Fal waves. “That's. her ice cream is belepotan.”
Tanvi smiled. “The boy who ate it. Kayak little boy.”
He painstakingly cleaned the ice cream in Fal's mouth.
“Bu Ratna who is it?” asked Fal to shift his anxiety.
“The mother of the home that ngasuh me. Since he died 6 years ago, I'm the same Dena and Indah who take care of the orphanage. She is like my own mother.”
“Oh yes? You haven't told me anything even though we've been married for 9 months.”
Tanvi stirred her ice cream, pouting.
“How can I tell if my husband doesn't have time.”
Fal hugged Tanvi's shoulder.
“He was sorry. Now is my time just for you. Can you tell me about you?”
“When I was a few days old, I was left in a home. Midnight. There's only paper with my name. When I was in High School, I went to a maternity clinic, a midwife, and some hospital, to find out. Some of the names of mothers who gave birth to babies range the date I was found, I came to them one by one. But the result is zero. Until Ms. Ratna died, I decided to stop looking for who my parents were. Later I realized what I was looking for them for. They just don't want to take care of me, and throw me away like a bad boy. Since then, I emphasize, I don't need them.”
Fal speechless.
Tanvi's heartache for her biological parents has gone too deep.
How could he tell the truth?
Tanvi rubbed her cheeks and looked at her.
“Udah is enough about me. Now Brother Fal story about Sister.”
“I? What do I need to tell you?”
“Ya what's up. About Alisha can also.”
Fal wave made Tanvi smile and pinched her cheeks.
“Not to be nervous. Just a story, I want to know.”
The important thing is that he doesn't talk about his parents anymore, Inner Fal.
“We met on campus when I just entered magister.”
“Trus?”
“Tanvi, can't you discuss him? I don't want you to think. You know he's my ex-boyfriend. No need to know further.”
“But.”
“Tanvi..” Fal stroking Tanvi's head at a glance. “You tell me about your past with Farhan, I can be jealous. Are you jealous when you hear about the past?”
Tanvi did not ask any more, and continued eating her ice cream.
What is Farhan talking about?
Now their relationship is just a brother-in-law.
And Farhan was not a threat to their household.
Another thing with Alisha who blatantly wants to damage her household.
HP vibrates.
His heart was not comfortable thinking about who contacted him these nights.
It spreads the view.
“Eh Kak, see someone selling flowers.”
Fal followed Tanvi's view.
Two little boys brought flowers to sell.
“Their love. Uda malem gini trading is still much.”
Tanvi thinks and seduces her husband.
“We buy everything, Kak.”
“Make what?”
“Okay my wife wins again. I bought all the flowers.”
While Fal stayed away to buy flowers, Tanvi opened HP and read the incoming SMS.
#Where's Fal? Why is HP off? Do you intentionally want to keep me away from him? You won't make it, because Fal's love died with me.#
Alisha.
Tanvi bit her lip, pissed. Then shut off his HP.
Just when Fal was asleep, he had time to check the HP Fal out of battery.
There's a good thing he turned off HP, so that no one interferes with his date.
Alisha must be waiting in the apartment, her mind.
He ate his ice cream hoping that his heart would cool.
“Tanvi, these are all flowers want to diapain?” Fal brought a lot of flowers while confused.
Tanvi laughs amusedly seeing her husband hassles.
Fal bengong's. “Diihh even laughs.”
“Lagian Sister is very funny, already know a lot, tell them to come here rather than bother so.”
After storing the flowers in the back seat of the car, Fal wiped the sweat on his forehead.
“They should be home soon. Where can I tell them to bring flowers.”
“Oh yes? Why, Brother?”
“They sell this malem sampe flower to buy their mother's medicine that is sick again. That's why I give more money for their mother's treatment.”
Suddenly Tanvi remembered the parents who threw him away.
It is so happy to have parents.
He sighed, reassuringly it was no longer important that he thought about his parents.
Without a care, he continued eating his ice cream.

*How can I tell you the truth about your parents, Tanvi?*
Fal looked at his wife who was enjoying the ice cream like nothing had happened.
“Still want to add?” bargain Fal while cleaning the ice cream on Tanvi's cheek.
Tanvi. “Udah full.”
“Kalo so we go home.”
Fal opens the car door but Tanvi is arrested.
“Eh Brother, I don't want to go home.”
Fal wonder. “Not coming home? Where are you going?”
“We go for a walk first.”
“This is already malem, later you catch wind.”
“No will, I promise. But I want to go for a walk first with Brother Fal.”
Fal is confused. “Tomorrow yes? Tomorrow I will go home spit and we go for a walk all day.”
Tanvi shook his head quickly. “I want now.”
“But, Tanvi..”
“Kak Fal don't want to go with me? Shame to have a wife like me who is now fat?” Tanvi looked away pouting face.
“Lho how do you say that? I do not mind your body, you are pregnant with my son.” Fal held both his shoulders.
“Kalo so we don't go home first.”
But Fal cannot meet Alisha!
“We find out to eat first.”
“Eat? He said he was full of ice cream?”
“Ngg. Yes anyway I do not want to go home.”
Tanvi tugged at Fal's arm, sulking spoiled.
“I want us to take a walk.”
Finally Fal.
“Ya already, let's go in.”
Tanvi smiled triumphantly.
