Womb of Titipan

Confusion Aaric.

"Whatchu mean? Naina deserves to know who her real father is."

"I'm sorry. I only have a hunch that knowing the truth will only hurt my wife, if so then this kind of situation might be best. It's just that he doesn't know his origin, because it's useless that he knows that the end will only make him hurt."

Vishnu paused for a moment to think.

"Make him hurt" murmured Vishnu softly.

"Yes. Knowing everything will only make him more curious about some things. Like what really happened until he could be placed in Orphanage, what happened between you and his mother? Where's her real mother now? Why his mother had to run away from you, he must have felt there was something behind it all. Are you ready for all those questions?" ask Aaric at length.

Vishnu looked increasingly confused.

"I love Naina so much, don't want to see her hurt and suffer, and I'm determined as long as she's by my side I'll make her happy because it's enough for her to live in pain during her stay at Panti, living as an orphan without the abundance of affection from his biological parents, living with only the expectation of mercy and the contribution of others, he said, life is lacking but still have to share with other Panti fellow residents."

"That's enough. Do not continue, I already know about it," Vishnu cut Aaric's words, he seemed unable to hear about Naina and her suffering all this time.

Both were silent for a moment.

"You're right, there's a story behind his birth, and if he finds out it will definitely hurt him a lot" Vishnu said suddenly.

"And you still want to say it?" ask Aaric curiously.

"I still have to say it, because of something, " replied Vishnu slowly.

"Even if it means you know if it's gonna hurt her? Instead of making him happy as a redeemer for all his suffering during this time you will even make him suffer again?"

"I've said there's something so I still have to say it even if it's going to make him suffer."

"I don't know if you're so selfish" Aaric said.

Vishnu was silent to accept the words of Aaric because the fact is that he is so selfish and does not care about the feelings of Naina m

"I won't let you meet." asked Aaric as if threatening.

"Then you will regret because someone's life is at stake here" replied Vishnu.

Aaric was silent and did not understand.

***

Aaric walked back and forth in his room after Vishnu left from there a moment ago, he seemed anxious and confused by Vishnu's last words saying he still wanted to tell Naina the truth.

Actually, Aaric is still a little surprised by the fact that Naina is the biological daughter of Mr. Vishnu, and indirectly said that Naina and Tari, her ex-boyfriend is a brother and sister, are, it feels like this world is a very narrow place, maybe he just happens to love women who turned out to be brothers.

But that is not the case now, but Vishnu's words say that someone's life is at stake here if he blocks the meeting between Vishnu and Naina.

"What's this?" aaric asked thinking very hard.

***

Vishnu was standing right in front of the door where Tari was being treated, he was hesitant to enter the room especially when he heard that his wife and daughter were chatting with him, they were talking about where they would go on a long vacation later after Dance recovered completely from her illness.

"But who is that ma'am?" dance suddenly asked her mother.

Vishnu who was still standing outside, not hearing his wife's voice answer their daughter's question, he knew if Dahlia must be confused to answer what.

Vishnu immediately opened the door, his arrival was welcomed happily by his wife and Dance.

Vishnu approached Tari who opened his arms wide to hug him.

"How are you today, baby?" ask Vishnu while peeping his daughter's forehead.

"Very good Pa. Today I am very happy because my mom said that you have found someone whose spinal cord matches mine" Tari said.

"Your mom is right, baby. You'll be healed soon." Vishnu stroking hair Dance.

"But pah. Who is that guy?"

Vishnu saw Dahlia.

"Is he still our family? Because if it's not wrong the doctor once said that only people who have blood relations can do it."

"You're wrong, son. Actually anyone can donate his spinal cord as long as it fits."

"Is it really like that?" tanya Dari is doubtful.

"It has. Whoever it is, don't think about it. Now the most important thing is that you're going to get well, and Mama's really happy. It's like it's all just a dream." Dahlia hugged Dari tightly, there was a puddle of tears on her eyelids.

Vishnu was silent at Dahlia's words.

Night Days.

"What's wrong?" Naina shifted her body towards Aaric who was lying next to her, she then kept her head on the chest of the husband who since his return from the office seemed to remain silent, like there was something she was thinking.

"It's okay, baby." Aaric stroked his wife's hair while pecking at her head.

"Today I'm tired." Naina yawned while then closed her eyes.

"What have you been doing all day?"

"In company of the mother shopping for clothes and other necessities for all the children in the Panti. Did you forget? I called to ask for permission to go to the shopping center" said Naina, who was sleepy.

"Oh yes. I'm sorry I forgot," replied Aaric with a smile.

Both were silent for a moment.

"Honey. There's something I want to ask you, " said Aaric.

"Honey. What if your biological parents came now. What are you gonna do? Will you accept them or will you hate them?"
