To You 2 (Greatest Love)
41. Mental exam (3 )

Nathan didn't think Rival's grandparents knew about Larasati. Grandfather explained that since the pregnancy of Larasati, Rival always take care of Larasati with the help of his grandfather and grandmother Larasati because the father died when he heard the news of Larasati's pregnancy. Vena was brought back to the village one month after his birth because Larasati died after giving birth due to the accident.

At that time the family knew, Rival was not responsible for Larasati's pregnancy. Now the grandfather and grandmother of Larasati are gone. Veins are taken care of by Larasati's older brother who also does not have any in the village. Help from Rival is also always rejected by the Larasati family since it knows that Rival is not the father of Vena. Nathan covered his face, how could he have been a coward who caused grief to many families.

Rival covers Yara's shoulder with his towel and tells Yara to change clothes immediately. Rival saw Nathan's puffy eyes, surely grandfather had told him all.

"Later tonight we see your son" said Rival, rubbing his wet hair.

"Will he see me?" Nathan began to doubt.

"A child will miss his father, especially a daughter. Your daughter's love for you must be huge. Just.Stay your heart lest you regret meeting her!!"

-------

Rival opened the door to his room. Looking at Yara who was standing in an old wooden cabinet belonging to her grandmother.

"Are you ready, baby?" tanya Rival held onto Yara's nervous and cold hand. Yara nodded uncertainly.

"Listen darling.. If you're jealous please but I repeat there's really no sense with Larasati. Also one.I'm begging you. Don't be mad to see me love Vena. You should know my love for Veins is just that, nothing more and of course what I love most is the mother of my children and also my son. You'll understand later" Rival kissed Yara's cheek and held her hand out of the room.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." said Rival to a house that can be said far from the word decent.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied someone inside.

Larasati's sister immediately cried loudly to see Rival coming by holding Yara who was pregnant. The crying voice of Larasati's brother made her husband come out and cry to see Rival and the two people next to him. Larasati's sister cried hysterically at the arrival of Vena's biological father. He cried and continued to hit Nathan.

After being calm and long enough to talk Rival asked about the news of Vena. Before long Big Brother Laras out of the room with a tiny toddler aged not even three years. Rival was moved to see the little girl start to grow big and beautiful just like her mother.

Rival immediately crouched down when he saw the toddler being lowered from his giant sling. Yara and Nathan reflexively stand to see Rival's treatment of the little girl.

"Sa-yang's.. I-ni pa-pa Ri-val" spelling Aunt Ira invites the confused toddler to talk with spelling. Vein stepped on Rival and moved her lips soundlessly (pa-pa i-val ) her ej.

Yara's tears had already come down over her cheeks deciphering what had happened. Nathan reached the side of the door to catch his breath.

"What's wrong with my son Val?" tanyanya.

"Vena was deaf from birth due to a collision when Larasati drowned in Jogja while seeing you with the Inca"

The atmosphere became so chaotic as Yara cried hysterically that she collapsed on the floor. Nathan insisted he could hardly believe his hearing.

"Astagfirulah.. " Nathan wept and hugged and kissed his daughter. Nathan was shocked to mix all the flavors in his chest. The punishment he had to accept was severe and real.

Rival lifts and lulls Yara on a long wooden cot in the living room. Rival was very anxious to see Yara's current condition. Larasati's brother helped Rival awaken Yara.

"I'm afraid to hurt her heart. I love him very much, ma'am. Why would I open up my past if it would only hurt his heart. I couldn't bear to see her grieving" said Rival, crying over Yara as he continued to resuscitate Yara, Yara's hand so cold.

"This is the result if you are not honest even if it is for good. You are afraid of the shadow of the past to hurt your wife" Tomo explained.

Rival feels his body is very weak unable to see Yara as sick as this bears the results of his past dishonesty.

Soon Yara began to wake up. Yara slowly sat down with help from Rival. Rival hugs her with a feeling of fear that something is happening to Yara and her child. Yara did not return Rival's embrace. His heart was so sick, ashamed, guilty of being sad for Larasati.

"Is there anything else we're keeping in our marriage?" ask Yara with tightness.

"No deck, I swear no more" Rival kneeled his head against Yara's thigh like a child asking for forgiveness from his mother.

"What's your reason for so many lies in our marriage??" yara shouted so annoyed. Rival stood up to calm Yara who was getting angry. Yara hits Rival as usual when she starts to get upset with Rival and Rival resignedly accepts all of that.

"I'm afraid you can't accept my past. I was too afraid that you would reject me as your husband. I was afraid you would leave me. I love you so much deck. Mas loves you so much" Rival pulls Yara's body into holding her until Yara calms down.

-------

Nathan was able to joke around with his daughter in his own way. Veins are so sticky with Nathan that they don't want to come down from his lap.

Rival took Yara out and saw the beautiful scenery. Nathan recalled something and took out a small box from inside his jacket pocket. Nathan put a gold necklace on Vena's neck.

Rival took Yara to sit down and she left the house, before long she returned with the clothes she bought and a small box in her hand.

"I bought this a long time ago. Before she married Yara. I bought it for Vein" Rival put a hearing aid on Vein's ear. A moment after installing it Veins looked startled. But the first time Nathan greeted him.

"Dear vein, try to call papa" Nathan asked

Veena smiled at Nathan's voice

"pa-pa" call him. Nathan hugged his little daughter.

"Dear, I'm your papa, very bad papa" exclaimed Nathan who finally could not hold back tears.

"You know, baby. That's papa Rival" Vein down and approach Rival. Rival raises Vein's body and hugs her but suddenly Vein leans to the left kissing Yara's cheek.

"ma-ma" he told Yara. Rival was shocked and afraid that Yara would react like earlier, one hand of Rival coiled around Yara's waist. Yara looked at Vena lovingly. I can't bear to see such a little girl go through so many bad things like this.

"Yes dear.this is my mom, but sorry dear mom can not carry Vena. Here was a little sister (appoint Yara on her stomach )" Vena smiled happily. Rival was relieved because what he feared did not happen.
