Thank You Love

Chapter 44

“BU Namila.”

Bu Namila was shocked, her vegetable basket fell down, seeing Tanvi was waiting in front of the elevator.

Tanvi's face was pale from lack of sleep.

Last night she thought about all her husband said.

However, if he is his mother, he should respect.

If his mother didn't want to take care of him, as Fal said, there must be a reason.

“Nak.” Bu Namila smiled and hugged Tanvi who was silent.

“Im sorry Mom.”

“What is the proof that I am a mother's child?” ask Tanvi.

Bu Namila was surprised, but understood Tanvi's attitude.

“There is a birthmark on the left back. Right?”

Tanvi's tears rolled down.

That means Ms. Namila is her real mother.

Back at the apartment, Tanvi said nothing.

Namila followed him with sadness.

“You know you're disappointed, son. But this is not my will. Not want Mom to leave you.”

Ms. Namila picked up some drinking water and led her to sit on the sofa.

Tanvi sipped the water, remained silent.

“Mom got married at 20 years old. Everything you thought was beautiful was destroyed once your husband had an accident and was paralyzed. Mom's husband is desperate and tries to kill himself. Eventually Mom became TKW to collect operating costs. But I'm a khilaf, son. Once back in Indonesia, everything was destroyed. Mother's husband apparently pretended to be paralyzed so that Mother went to find money for him. There are a lot of judiciary debts. Even my husband married again. Everything gets worse when you get pregnant. Once you are born, your husband will sell you for money. I can't let you, so I left you at the orphanage. I hope, there are good people who take care of you to be his son.”

Hearing her mother's explanation, Tanvi fell silent.

Should he believe?

“But now Mom's back, Mom wants to meet Mom's son. And I didn't expect, Mas Fal Non Alisha's ex-boyfriend is your husband, Nak.”

Namila looked at her affectionately.

Tanvi looked at her mother, trying to figure out what her mother was telling the truth.

Ms. Namila hugged her tightly, while kissing her head.

Yep.

Maybe he was hurt by his mother.

But true Fal said, he just needed to give his mother a chance to explain, because everything happened there must be a reason.

His mother did not throw it away, but saved him from the father who wanted to sell it.

Seeing his mother come back to look for him, proves his mother does not want to be separated from him.

Whatever happens, he just doesn't want to be separated from his mother anymore.

“Bu Namila, where the hell are you from? Vegetable shopping is long!” nagging Alisha as soon as Miss Namila arrives.

“Sorry Non, I shop far because the supermarket deket here vegetables less complete.” Namila reasoned.

“Kok Non is home? Mom hasn't cooked anything.”

“Berexin suitcase. Lis want to work out of town a week.” Alisha went into the room, to get ready.

“Good, Non.” Namila's mom opened the closet.

“Halo, Fal.” Alisha's voice was loud enough to call.

Namila's ma'am sharpened her hearing.

“Gue to Bandung a week. You go there, right? We are all on vacation. Whahuh? Can't do? Ahh lo how the hell? You are the owner of the company, why busy work? Give your work to subordinates. Beres. I don't want to know, I'm just waiting there. I'll send the hotel address. Point. Bye, Honey..”.

Alisha hung up the phone while smiling with satisfaction.

Sure Fal won't refuse his will.

Namila Bu thought about how Tanvi felt seeing her husband still close to Alisha.

Tanvi is pregnant.

It's time for her role as a mother.

He has to protect his son, no matter what.
