After getting a report from Eric about Alvin, Mama Elvira decided to meet Daniza that afternoon. At least, he had to ascertain for himself how far his son's relationship with Daniza was in order to make a decision.
There hasn't been a conversation between Daniza and Mama Elvira since a few minutes ago. Daniza sat with her head lowered, while Mama Elvira was silent as she thought of the right word to say. Seeing the awkwardness of Daniza, Mama Elvira erodes the distance. Now the two sit side by side.
"Madria ... Maybe you're surprised because I came all of a sudden. I'm here because there's something I need to talk to you about." Mama Elvira opens her voice.
"Yes, Mom," Daniza said briefly. Still did not dare to raise her head even though Mama Elvira was being very friendly and gentle.
"I'm sorry about what happened at home that night. I also didn't expect that his papa brother Alvin would talk like that."
"I can understand, Mom," Daniza replied. Although Aunt Keshia's remark that night really hurt her heart. But he didn't want to worry about it too much. After all, the words of Aunt Keshia do have a point. Daniza was self-conscious enough that she was not worthy enough for Alvin.
"I also need to apologize for Alvin's behavior. Maybe you're depressed because Alvin's too possessive of you." Mama Elvira realizes that it was not Daniza who was chasing her son. But Alvinlah is too enslaved by love to be willing to do anything.
Now the woman has to convey her true purpose of coming to Daniza this afternoon. He did not want Alvin vacillated in uncertainty.
"If you may know, where did your relationship come from?"
Mama Elvira's question made Daniza clench her lips tight. Alvin has clearly shown his love. However, the once heartbroken Daniza seemed to close the door of her heart to anyone.
"For now my feelings for Alvin are still the same as they used to be. There's nothing more."
The corner of Mama Elvira's eyes was furrowed at Daniza's confession. It is undeniable that there is a bit of disappointment. Because it turns out that the love of the child is just a puppet that claps one hand.
"So you mean you haven't had any thoughts of having a serious relationship with Alvin?" Mama Elvira's face turned flat.
"Yes, Mom. All this time me and Alvin's brother were still just friends." Daniza is increasingly surrounded by feelings of guilt. But he can't do anything. Because that's how it is..
"But you know, don't you know how Alvin feels about you?" mama Elvira asked in a slightly pressing tone.
"Yes, Mom. But I ...." Daniza. Thousands of words danced in the head, but not until when it was about to be expressed through the tongue.
After a long sigh, this time Mama Elvira looked at Daniza seriously. "So what's the point of your togetherness all along? Besides, you didn't argue at all when Alvin introduced you as a potential daughter-in-law in our family."
Like slashed with sharp objects, that's how Daniza feels today. "I didn't know it would be like that either, Mom. Brother Alvin just said he was tired of his family who often betrothed him. That's why Alvin introduced me as a future wife."
Assume Daniza's chosen head as the answer.
"If you can tell what your own feelings for Alvin are?"
Daniza was silent for a moment. If asked that, he did not understand what kind of feelings he had for Alvin. During this time he was so fixated with heartbreak due to Revan's betrayal and also lost his future baby.
"I honestly don't know, Mom."
Mama Elvira's eyelids closed, as if she did not accept Daniza's answer. "After all the sacrifices Alvin made for you, your answer was just like this?"
"Sorry, Mom. Indeed I should not have received the help of Brother Alvin!" Daniza's eyeballs started to glaze over.
"Have you never thought about Alvin's feelings? He has loved you for a long time and is willing to do anything for you." Mama Elvira's tone went up again. "You know, he fired all the relatives who worked at his company for daring to insult you. But just like this is your reply?"
Clear liquid started to melt on Daniza's cheeks. He did not even dare to raise his head to look at Mama Elvira. "I'm sorry, Mom."
"There's no need for you to apologize" the woman cut quickly. "I am a mother, Daniza. And any mother wouldn't want to see her child hurt. If you don't want Alvin, you should stay away from him from the beginning and give him no hope. It's the same way you play with Alvin's feelings."
"Bu .. Not so, ma'am." Daniza's starting to sob. It made Mama Elvira realize that her tone seemed intimidating. It is not entirely Daniza's fault. The woman turned away for a moment. Taking a deep breath to break the soaring anger.
It takes time for Mama Elvira to control herself. Because if not, he might hurt Daniza, and of course it will also make Alvin hurt.
"Daniza .. I never mind as much money as Alvin puts out for you. As a woman, I am saddened to hear what has happened to you." Mama Elvira paused her words with a breath. "But, as a mother, I can't see my son being heartbroken."
"I understand, Mom," Daniza replied in a trembling voice.
Mama Elvira looked back at Daniza. This time with teary eyes. "If you don't have any feelings for Alvin, please don't give me hope. You better get away from Alvin now."
Uncontrollably both sides of Daniza's face were wet again by tears. I don't know why Mama Elvira's request sounds so painful. Is there really no name for Alvin in his heart?
