CHAPTER THIRDTEEN
DAVID , Hana and Tania are now at a nearby restaurant. Just a simple restaurant, Hana wants to talk to her Mom about something. She glanced at David to give a code for David to leave the two of them first. Understanding, David finally came out and waited outside with a cup of coffee with him.
“Hana-, isn’t he one of the children of the Vikrama family? Are you here with him?” Tania asked Hana when she saw David who had already seated himself on the bench outside.
Hana nodded.
“Yes Mom, but calm down. He’s nice, he helps me a lot at the Vikrama family’s house.” She answered by holding Tania’s palm which felt cold, she stroked it a little to get rid of the worry that was now felt by her Mom. She could see it from the outline of her mom’s face.
“Are you okay there honey? I’m sorry mae couldn’t help you that time.” Tania pulled one of her hands, she rubbed the corners of his eyes that felt watery. She can’t stand it when it comes to her only child. “Is my grandson okay in there?” she continued looking at Hana’s stomach.
“Of course it’s fine Grandma.” Replied Hana trying to tease, and it managed to make a small smile etched on her mom’s lips. “Mom, there’s one thing I want to talk about.”
Tania turned her gaze to Hana.
“what is it honey?”
“I’m married Mom.” DEG The smile that was etched on Tania’s lips instantly faded when she heard Hana’s words. Is the child married? Who with? Even Tania just heard this news.
“Really? With who? Him?” she pointed at David who was outside.
Hana shook her head.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“No, but with his brother. The father of my son Mom. She willingly wants to take responsibility and marry me.” Hana lied to her own Mom.
“Then? Why didn’t you tell Mom Hana. Mom could have come and attended your wedding.”
Hana looked down deeply, her guess was right. If he manages to contact her mom. Then her mom will definitely come. Should be.
“I called Mom before even before my wedding day. But Mom and Dad’s numbers couldn’t be reached. Did Mom change numbers? Then why does our house look so empty.” Hana looked at her Mom expectantly asking for an explanation.
Tania stood up from her seat, she moved to the side of Hana’s seat and immediately hugged her daughter making Hana cry immediately, she didn’t care about the few people who were now looking at them.
“So that day? I’m sorry Hana. Mom is really sorry.” Tania tightened her embrace. “Actually, Mom and your father have moved out of our old house. Your father is in debt Hana. We are both being chased by loan sharks.” Tania released her embrace then grabbed Hana’s hands which were on her thighs.
“Since when? Why is dad in so much debt? Why didn’t mom tell me? How much do you need? I’ll get my savings.” Hana was about to stand up and wanted to go to the ATM machine but was held by Tania.
“Don’t! Let this matter mae think about, Hana, it’s the result of your hard work. You don’t need to help mom. If you give money to Mom and your father. Your father will definitely keep asking you for money later. Live happily with your husband, in-laws and sister-in-law.” Said Tania, patting Hana’s hand lightly.
Hana just replied with a smile, a thin smile as a protective mask in front of her mom.
“I hope so too.” – Hana.
.
.
. Hana walked languidly into the Vikrama family’s house. David took her to the front of the house, he had to leave immediately because suddenly Rita contacted David. She was thinking about the state of Mom and her father. Even though her father hates hers, she still loves him. What has been said and done by her father, it does not necessarily make her have to hate someone who has raised her.
Her steps stopped when she almost passed the living room, there she saw Tamara sitting alone on the sofa with her head back. Hana frowned, out of curiosity Hana finally walked over to it.
“Madam? Madam why are you sleeping here?” Hana asked by lightly touching Tamara’s arm, which turned out to be closing her eyes.
“Hmmm where are you from?” Tamara murmured opening her eyes a little then she closed them again by occasionally massaging her temples.
“It’s … just out for a while.” Said Hana nervously, she tried again to ask her father-in-law or rather her employer. “Madam why are you sleeping here?”
Tamara lifted her propped head then opened her eyes to see Hana standing near the sofa. “Where did you go without my permission? And who did you go with? Tamara’s pale face is now mixed with anger.
“I’ve asked permission from Adriel, David who accompanied me madam.”
“Wow you are great now, you want to rule in my family’s house? First Adriel, and now David? You really are a sly Woman, your sweet face is useless. You use it just to cheat!”
“Not like that…”
“Excuses, I know you’re just…. arrggggg!!!!” Tamara suddenly grimaced when she hadn’t stopped her sentence, she just kept holding her head which hurt more and more.
“Madam why?” Hana immediately knelt down to immediately help Tamara to sit back on the sofa. “Gosh, madam’s body is hot.”
Tamara immediately pushed Hana’s hand away who tried to help her.
“I can do it myself! You don’t need to help me.” Tamara put her hands on the sofa to try to stand up, she just wanted to straighten himself. Tamara’s body immediately dazed and almost fell to the floor if Hana didn’t hold her.
“Let me help madam.” Said Hana holding Tamara’s body and now supporting the body to go to the main room, fortunately her father-in-law’s room was on the first floor.
After arriving in the room, Hana laid Tamara’s body carefully on the bed. She pulled the blanket under her and Hana covered half of Tamara’s body.
“Should I get some warm water or should I make some hot tea?” Hana asked Tamara.
“No need! I don’t need that, you better call my family’s private doctor.” She said sarcastically.
Hana is silent, she doesn’t have a cell phone or the phone number of the Vikrama family’s private doctor. She didn’t know what to do.
“Hana! Hurry up! Why are you so slow! Ssss… hhh.” Tamara held her throbbing head again after he spoke to Hana.
“Y-yes madam, I will ask aunt Laksmi for help.”
Hana immediately came out of Tamara’s room, she rushed to look for Laksmi’s aunt. Aunt Laksmi must know how to call the Vikrama family’s private doctor, she has to hurry because her in-laws are in a lot of pain. Plus her father-in-law was already experiencing symptoms of cold sweat.
