Discarded After Childbirth
Chapter 49 - Facts revealed

Mr. Giandratama kept a close eye on the woman, making sure what she saw was not wrong. Tamara asked her husband to sit down.

"Pa, our son has hurt Aruni. She uses it to give birth to children. All this is due to the condition of the father who asked David to have children within 2 years. He's up to making a vile plan like this."

Tamara cried as she slapped her husband's chest. But he kept telling me all the facts. Mr. Giandratama knows, so he is not too surprised. But, he felt disappointed in his own son for having done such a heinous thing. Although he was stubborn and crazy of honor, but he never did any bad way to realize his ambition.

"Papa already knows Ma, papa has investigated everything. Papa just didn't think our son could think that. It must be all because of Selena. Papa is sure, because from the beginning papa never liked it. And that has happened until now. Ever since Selena was with our son, David's been a different person."

Tamara nodded, and she realized that. Because he loves his son too much. He let his son do what he wanted.

After knowing this truth, neither Tamara nor Mr. Giandratama can hide his disappointment, guilt and anger.

"Because Om and Aunt already know all these truths. I want to confess my real name is Gea Arunika. I want to take Alwin away from you, because Mas David used to take Alwin when I was locked up by him" Gea pinta expectantly and pleaded.

Mr. Giandratama started speaking up.

"I will not forbid you to bring your son. But, you know that legally Alwin is the son of David and Selena. Let Alwin stay here for a few days until I settle this matter and discipline my own son. After that I'll help you take custody of your son. But, please don't limit our meeting to our grandchildren as well."

Gea nodded. He agreed to Mr. Giandratama's speech. Because it was also very beneficial for him.

The conversation was over. Gea returned home to Gaza with a sense of relief for telling the truth. Although a little afraid of being lied to also by the promise of Mr. Giandratama. But, he tried to believe that the son and the father were not the same.

Tamara continued to cry after Gea's return. He was still so surprised by everything.

"Already Ma. Don't keep crying like this. We have to teach our kids a lesson. He can't hurt a woman like this. That means he doesn't appreciate women."

"But my mom still didn't expect me. David lied to his parents. Now you understand why Selena never cared about Alwin. Because Alwin is not his flesh. Mama just can't figure out why the two of them planned this just because of the treasure and want to return to this house. Though mama think, mama raised David so a child who is not greedy and must appreciate women."

"Yes papa knows, must be a hurt mama. But we also have to resuscitate our son."

Tamara nodded and hugged her husband tightly. Trying to accept all these realities and the reality of his time with his grandson will not be long.

"Papa really allowed Alwin to be taken by Aruni?" ask Tamara to make sure.

"If it's really heavy, but papa also pity Gea. He had been separated from his son Ma for too long. All because of our son and his ambition. Let Alwin be with Gea. Papa also wants to know what if Alwin isn't home. Whether David will find it or not heed it. Papa wants you to pretend you don't know anything in front of David. Let me take care of everything."

Tamara nodded again.

Shortly after, David came home from work and was amazed to see his mother crying in the arms of the father.

"Pa, why is that mom?"

"You have listened to your friend tell a sad story to make him cry" replied Mr. Giandratama.

"Oh, so. Yeah, I'm going to Ma's room, Pa."

"Look at our son's attitude just now. He never felt guilty for ruining the life of a woman who had given birth to his child."

In the evening, Gea sat in the garden alone looking at the twinkling stars in the sky. Gaza observed it and then approached Gea and sat down beside him.

"Today what are you doing? Have you told me all the truth?" ask Gaza a little guess.

Gea nodded.

"I've said everything. Mas David's father found out everything first. I'm grateful for that, because it doesn't take much to say to explain it. But, there was a slight unpleasant taste in my heart as well. I'll take the Alwin they raised with affection."

"You can be selfish for your happiness, Ge. If you keep feeling bad. Until Alwin gets big, you won't get custody. They allow it too, right? Don't think too much about the feelings of others. Think of your happiness first."

"I should be?"

"Yes, so that you can stay strong to face everything. I'm sure even after this, the problem won't stop. David's father will definitely plan something for his son. So does David who will always plan to hurt you. So, for now and beyond, you have to be vigilant and careful."

"Thank you Ga. You always reassured me and supported me when I began to waver to take custody of my son. I sometimes think, what should I repay all your kindness with."

Easy Ge. Just open your heart and see me as a man who loves you not a friend.

"I promise, after all Alwin falls into my hands. I will repay all my debts and repay your kindness. Even though I won't be able to repay everything."

"Don't think about it first. I don't care much about it either. You either pay or you do not owe. I'm sincerely helping you, Ge."

"No, don't be like that. I feel like I'm the worst woman for you. Who used you for my benefit."

"Yes, stop. If this conversation continues. There will never be an end. Go inside Ge. It gets colder outside, and then you get sick. You have to take care of your health to deal with the things that will happen in the future."

"Yes, I'll be in in a minute. You go in first. You have to work tomorrow."

"I'm staying?"

"Yes, go there."

Gaza also entered the house.

Gea, who lives alone, keeps staring up at the sky and imagines herself to be happy with her son.
