Thank You Love
Chapter 45
“Iya, Mother. Fal will try to talk to Tanvi. Mama Papa is patient. Fal can't force Tanvi to not. But Fal will try to persuade him. Okay, Ma? Yeah, Fal must have been working. Mom is calm. Okay, Ma.”
Fal turns off the phone while exiting the elevator.
He was tired all day working.
Not to mention that Alisha constantly asked him to follow her to Bandung.
For a long time he saturates to follow the wishes of Alisha.
Mama asks them to stay at home out of concern that Tanvi is alone in the apartment when Fal is in the office.
He pressed the bell, hoping Tanvi hadn't slept.
Door opens.
He was flabbergasted, his briefcase out of hand.
“Bu Namila?!”
Namila's wrong. Between fear and pleasure.
“Why is it here?”
Confused about what to answer, Namila Bu took Fal's bag.
“Im sorry Mom, Son. I'm just worried about Tanvi.”
Fal is still speechless and wailing.
“Tanvi?”
“Have slept.”
Unwilling to interrupt Tanvi's break, Fal takes Bu Namila out.
They were sitting in the back garden of a quiet apartment.
“So Mom told Tanvi?” ask Fal.
Namila's mom is getting nervous. “Iya, Son.”
“Can I know why Mom left Tanvi at the orphanage?” fal's question caused Bu Namila to choke and take a heavy breath.
Bu Namila recounts the incident that forced her to leave Tanvi in an orphanage.
“Mom was just afraid something bad happened to Tanvi, so I was forced to leave her in an orphanage away from my home. If until Tanvi is found, your husband will sell it. I can't see Tanvi suffering, but I'm also powerless to fight Mom's husband. So after making sure Tanvi is safe in the orphanage, I continued my duties as TKW.”
Alisha once told Namila that she had been working in her family since she was a child.
Ms. Namila who took care of him and became a household assistant.
Even Bu Namila wants to continue working with Alisha, because she already does not have a home and family in Indonesia.
Ms Namila explained leaving Tanvi at a Jakarta orphanage, so her husband could not find her.
Because of Bu Namila's house in Tangerang area.
Fal understands why Tanvi can't find any clues about her parents.
“Then, do you know where your husband is now?”
Namila's mom shook her head. “Last I heard he was arrested by the bookies for his debt that was not paid. I don't know anymore.”
Fal finally understood and understood Bu Namila's decision.
Because if Namila Bu doesn't leave her, somehow Tanvi's fate is now.
Namila looked at Fal, full of days.
“Thank you for taking care of Tanvi. I did not expect, Mother's daughter was married and became a whole woman.”
Fal smiled slightly.
Maybe Tanvi didn't tell her the beginning of their marriage to her mother.
“Bu, I ask, please keep this matter a secret from Alisha.” Fal said seriously. “Mom knows for yourself how it is.”
Namila looked at him strangely.
“But if Mom can ask, do you love Tanvi?”
Fal paused for a moment and turned his face away.
“I feel unworthy of Tanvi's love. Because I keep hurting him. My mother knew me better, how I felt about Alisha. It's hard to get away from Alisha. But whatever it is, Tanvi is precious to me. Although I love Tanvi, but I feel I can not make her happy.”
Seeing Fal was upset, Namila ma'am understood.
“Mother understands, Son. Well, I'll keep this a secret from Non Alisha. Even though I love Non Alisha whom I have cared for since childhood, I will not sacrifice the happiness of my son and daughter-in-law. I can feel, Tanvi loves you so much, son. Please please please please please happy him in any way. I will not disturb your family. Simply I know and Tanvi can accept Mom, no need for others tau.”
Fal let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Mom. If it's time, I'll help explain it to the extended family. Reason Mom can definitely be accepted.”
“No need to rush, Son. Just give Mom a chance to make amends for Mom on Tanvi. Can I take care of Tanvi as long as Non Alisha goes?”
“I have no right to forbid a Mother who wants to meet her child. Of course, whenever Mom wants to see Tanvi, I allow.”
Namila smiled with relief.
“But if I can tell, is Tanvi's biological father still alive?” asking Fal made Namila ma'am shocked.
“I understand Mom is afraid of Mom's husband, I just want to know my father-in-law. I won't act more.”
Namila suddenly broke out in cold sweat and turned her face away.
Fal was suspicious. “There are things you're hiding?”
Bu Namila looked at Fal, tense, anxious, mixed.
“You've kept this secret for a long time, son. A secret that I didn't dare reveal to Tanvi. But I think you can be trusted, son.”
“What exactly is it, Bu?” Fal is curious.
Upon hearing Bu Namila's story, Fal gaped in shock, disbelief.
