Discarded After Childbirth
Chapter 35 - Aruni

"Your grandson looks a lot like David, Tam. But why is there no resemblance to Selena huh?"

Tamara so continued to pay attention to her granddaughter, it was true when viewed carefully. Almost all the parts on Alwin's face are similar to David's, only one is different, namely the eyes only. But, people say, babies like to change their resemblance. So, Tamara doesn't bother much.

"It's only natural. Maybe more derivatives of his papa. It could be later even the character like his mother," replied Tamara.

"Em, that's right too. But it's kind of weird Tam."

"Not discussed anymore. We just enjoy today. My granddaughter's not fussy right now."

The mothers also nodded. They were there long enough until the day had turned into a new afternoon home. One by one they went home. Tamara came home the last time, all want to buy something.

He accidentally collided shoulder with a young woman.

"Ah, sorry, sorry ma'am, I didn't accidentally. I didn't pay much attention to the road" said the woman who turned out to be Gea.

"Yes it's okay. Next time be careful. I brought a baby. If my sling had come off, maybe my granddaughter could have fallen."

Gea nodded.

"Once again I'm sorry, ma'am."

Alwin, is this your mom, son? You don't recognize your mama, son?

Gea cried inwardly when her son just silently did not recognize her. He also walked slowly to get away.

Soon, however, Alwin cries, causing Tamara to panic herself. Even the sister next to him was unable to calm him down. Gea, who was not far from there, returned to Tamara.

"May I carry her granddaughter, Mom? It seemed like her cries were constantly being heard."

Actually Tamara was a bit hesitant on the person she just met suddenly wanted to help her. What Tamara is afraid of is this woman is a baby kidnapper with the motive to help. But looking at the young lady's face, it didn't seem like she was such a person. Tamara also allowed.

Gea immediately carried Alwin by patting his b*kong quietly. And that way worked. Since then Tamara and sister have done that but it did not work.

Do you know if this is your mom, son? So you cry and want to be hugged by your mom?

Gea was crying because of Haru. But it's impossible. David's mother would have been suspicious. He wanted to slowly approach his mother David and get himself close to Alwin.

However, it turns out that Tamara even saw the glare of Gea's sad eyes as if she wanted to cry.

Tamara also invited Gea to enter a restaurant there. Gea's still holding Alwin. After Alwin calmed down, Gea was about to give it to Tamara again. Alwin cried again.

"It's okay, let's just carry it first. Aunty was a little surprised at first, because Aunt's grandchildren were not easily close to new people. But, just like you he can be silent."

"Maybe it's my maternal instinct, ma'am" Gea replied.

"Call Aunt Tamara. What's your name?"

"My name is Aruni, Aunt."

"Okay, Aruni, have you ever taken care of a baby before?" ask Tamara again out of curiosity.

"Ever, and that's my own son Aunt. But, he was taken away by his own father with his first wife. It's been a long time. I was just used to giving birth to a child and then just thrown away."

"Astaghfirullah, how cruel they are."

Gea nodded.

"Patiently, son, surely one day you will be reunited with your own child."

"I've met my son, Auntie, even hugged him very tightly. But I can't take him home" Gea replied again.

"It must hurt a lot then. The strong one, Ge. God is not sleeping."

Gea nodded again.

Gea nods and writes her number on Tamara's phone. They're in the mall until late at night. Gea had to part with his son who had been brought in by his mother into the car. Gea stared at the departure, then the tears just fell.

Gea reflex instantly wiped it off, for fear that people would look strangely at her.

"Alwin you're a big boy. Looks like you were well taken care of by your oma. My mom is so grateful for that. But I feel like my mom wants to hold you like that. This longing cannot be cured in just a few hours. Mama wants to know every move you make."

Then after that, Gea went from there using his bike. Apparently Gea had deliberately visited David's residence, and he accidentally saw Tamara who came out of the house with his car and followed him from behind. Until finally he pretended to hit Tamara so he could talk to her. Apparently the plan worked. Therefore Gea recognizes herself as Aruni so that when Tamara tells the people in her house, no one is suspicious.

The first plan to get close to Tamara was successful. The next step, Gea will often vent, so that Tamara more sympathetic to him and have the desire to help him. Although maybe actually if Tamara knows, this can hurt her heart. However, it was better, than to continue being lied to by his own son and daughter-in-law.

Gea arrived at her house. He was shocked by a car in front of his house. Who else if not Gaza.

"Where did Ge come from? Why did he come home once a night?" ask Gaza.

"Go to the mall" replied Gea.

"Well?" ask Gaza again.

"There is! By the way since when have you been here?"

"Half an hour ago."

"God! Though you can call me first Ga or give me a short message."

"It is, and there is no recompense from you."

Gea checked his cell phone and sure enough there were some calls from Gaza and some short messages too. Gea doesn't feel good on her own.

"I'm sorry, apparently the notification on my phone was deliberately kept quiet."

Gaza nodded.

"What's here at night?" ask Gea again.

"Just want to come and know how you are. You're new here, afraid you can't socialize with the people around you."

Gea grunting.

"I'm not, I'm easily familiar. Same seller at the front stall only I'm familiar for buying drinks the same food yesterday," replied Gea.

"Sit down Ga, I'll have a drink for you."

"No need to Ge. I might go straight home" replied Gaza.

"Em so, yeah already, be careful on the road. Say hello to Aunt Hani."

Gaza nodded and got into his car. Then he waved his hand at Gea. The car driven by Gaza sped away from Gea's house.

Gea went into the house happy to mix sad. He sat in his living room while staring at the ceiling of his roof.

"Can I have my son again?"
