Love, take my side

Love, take my side
Chapter 132


Danny's family took care of the burial after crying and staring at the baby's face. Danny never stopped crying releasing the baby boy into the burrow. Very heavy but must. There is no use for regret. Because regret will not be able to make the baby boy can come back with them.


Now his grief and loss did not belong only to Nia. Rendra was also unable to hide that sadness. As the party that brought Nia into his family. Rendra felt regret for everything that happened to Nia. Moreover, he still clearly remembers the reason Nia canceled the marriage with him. Nia's mistake was fatal. But behind it all There's a compelling reason why Nia did that.


There is no point in blaming each other, there is no point in arguing. After the burial. All the family members gathered at Gunawan's house. On everyone's face was still clearly sadness. Although Danny. Since arriving home. The man went straight into the room and shut himself up.


Evan catches the gelagat and approaches Danny to his room.


"It hurts bro" said Danny after Evan walked into Danny's room. Danny even hit his own chest.


Evan has not answered. The man sat down on the side of the bed. The boy's baby is his nephew, not his real son. But sadness may be the same as the sadness experienced by Danny.


"Why our lives are like this. Treasures abound but to be happy one has to go through a steep path. And most foolishly you followed my dark footsteps. I thought you could learn from my bitter experience. It turns out that you actually have a life experience that is more bitter than me," said Evan. The two brothers sat next to each other and similarly stared out of the room through the open window.


"If my grandfather were still alive. Maybe you didn't have this bitter experience" Evan said. Remembering the grandfather who had been with the baby boy made the two men even more sad. Compared to Rieta's grandmother. Grandpa Martin was more able to judge everything from various angles. Not like Rieta's grandmother who judged Nia from the act of entrapment alone.


Danny felt his life was more concerning than anyone. She once harbored love for Clara but she betrayed her. He's loved by women like Nia, Danny's not trying to retaliate. And when he came back to love someone that was Salsa. His love is not reciprocated. Salsa left after refusing herself raw.


"You think. What should I do," asked Danny at last. Until now he has not been able to think clearly to do anything.


"What does this have to do with Nia?" ask Evan back. Danny nodded his head. She had thought about going to the clinic where Nia gave birth. He was very confident that the woman was still in that place to get medical treatment. But her irresponsible treatment made the man not dare to show his face before Nia.


"You think?" ask Evan back. Danny took a rough breath and ruffled his hair.


"I'm ashamed brother. I'm ashamed," replied Danny.


"We're there now. I will accompany you. You need to apologize to the woman" Evan said as he moved from his seat. Without much questioning or arguing. Danny followed Evan's steps.


What Danny and Evan want to do is Gunawan, Aunt Tiara and Grandma Rieta also want to do. Assume without being asked of course want to meet with his best friend. While Rendra and Anna also mama Feli chose not to come. They plan to visit Nia another time.


An hour later, Danny and the others arrived at the clinic. They were not difficult to find Nia because the woman was still in the clinic. The clinic did not cover Nia's identity and even they showed her the room that became Nia's room.


"Nia," called Anggita while walking quickly to her best friend. Nia's been moved out of the delivery room. Nia who was daydreaming immediately turned her head and was surprised to see a lot


people walk into his room. Only Nia was in the room. Nia finally behaved normally after a few seconds. She was relieved that her baby girl had been referred to the hospital. Premature birth makes the baby girl must get medical treatment. Jessi is accompanying her baby daughter while her other sister is taking care of the file. For the cost of the baby during treatment. The three brothers decided to mortgage their house to the bank. Jessi has friends at the bank so their loan applications can be processed right now.


Nia stared at the Martin grandfather's family troupe for a while then turned her face away. There was still pain still lingering in his heart considering how Gunawan and Grandma Rieta treated him. But the one that hurt the most, when I saw Danny come into that room the last one. The plan is not perfect. Nia felt stupid for giving the birth certificate. Karen with the letter, Danny's family learns of the clinic where she gave birth and is even on the same roof as her. Only, he was grateful. The baby girl is no longer in the clinic. He had asked the midwife to hide the identity of her baby daughter.


Nia returned the embrace of her best friend Anggita. He could feel the sadness of his friend. We cry but not with her. Being used to being judged as negative by Gunawan and Grandma Rieta. Nia held back her cries for not wanting to be considered a cry to attract sympathy let alone draw mercy.


"That's stoic, yes" Anggita said as she clasped Nia's hand. Nia nodded her head in agreement. Evan also gave a word of comfort to Nia. While the others are still late in sadness to see Nia's swollen face.


"Nia, grandma's sorry. We didn't expect this to happen to you and the baby. We are sad as you are saddened by the passing of the baby. Perhaps your sadness is as great as our sadness. We feel the loss like you lose" Grandma Rieta said. Nia listened well to the old woman's words.


Nia did not answer. For Nia. It is he who feels lost. If the Grandma thinks of that fetus. Maybe Rieta's grandmother would have kept every word out of her mouth in the past.


Aunt Tiara is still standing. Disappointment to Gunawan and Grandma Rieta made Aunt Tiara let the two people who first talked to Nia.


The atmosphere of the room felt lonely. Gunawan deliberately cleared up to melt the atmosphere. Ever since I set foot in that room. She was ashamed of Nia. He was ashamed of the words he said. If you know the situation like this. Gunawan will not say the insult words.


"Nia, I'm sorry. I can't say what happened to this" said the man. Again, Nia did not answer. He only stared at Gunawan for a moment then shifted his gaze.


"About all costs, you don't have to worry. Danny will be responsible for that" the man said again.


'Thank you, sir. Brother Danny doesn't have to bother. My fee during my time at this hospital has been paid," replied Nia quickly. He won't accept anything from Danny's family. At the moment he does not have much money. But the woman who accompanied her to this clinic was willing to give a temporary loan to her waiting for a loan from the bank to come out.


"Don't be like that Nia. It's Danny's responsibility. You have experienced many things including the loss of the baby boy. Let Danny lighten your load," Grandma Rieta said softly. The woman turned into a good grandmother figure like her treatment to Anggita.


"Don't make me owe your family a favor, madam. And don't worry. I can handle my own problems. Tentay lost the baby. That's out of my reach."


Nia insists on rejecting the kindness of Rieta and Gunawan's grandmother. Suppose they can say quiet from the beginning like this despite rejecting himself maybe Nia is willing to accept all the material given by aunt Tiara silently and also the money sent Danny to his account. But Gunawan's attitude and Grandma Rieta who considered herself very low made Nia reject all the gifts.


Money is important. But money is not everything. Nia also realized that she had a lot of money. Premature birth can be prevented. Nia no longer wanted to. To treat his heart. Nia considers this as the destiny and destiny of her child.


Grandma Rieta was silent. No more negative judgments came out of his mouth. The woman wanted after this, Nia had no grudge against her family.


"Nia, I hope you forgive us," Grandma Rieta said again. We he meant his extended family. The woman realized Nia had not yet answered the apology from her and Gunawan.


"No need to apologize, ma'am. This is my mistake and stupidity. I accept this as destiny. I've made peace with fate and I don't blame anyone for this, '" Nia finally replied. Grandma Rieta was not satisfied with that answer. He grabbed Nia's hand and held it.


After saying that. Grandma Rieta fumbled at her bag. It turned out that the old grandmother had prepared a large envelope to be given to Nia.


"Please accept this Nia," Rieta's grandmother said. If he is the one who says Nia as a cunning person who justifies all means to enter his family. Now it was the woman who begged Nia to accept her gift.


The thick envelope was now located in the palm of Nia's hand. But Nia had no intention of grasping the envelope. After Rieta's grandmother stood up. Nia placed the thick envelope on the side of the bed.


"Nia as my apology. I bless you with Danny" said Gunawan. Rieta's grandmother who was still standing was about to leave nodded her head in agreement. Nia was not happy at all. The woman still showed an ordinary face.


What happens in this life is unpredictable. In the past, it was Rieta and Gunawan's grandmother who rejected Nia and banned Danny from being responsible for the pregnancy. Now Gunawan who proposes even approve Nia and Danny. Grandma Rieta also agreed.


"We're out, let Danny and Nia talk first" Gunawan said. Everyone stepped away from the bed except for Danny and Anggita. Anggita has not come out because Nia held her hand.


"Please return it to Madame Rieta," Nia said as she groped the side of the bed and placed the thick envelope into Anggita's palm. Nia nods her head which sees Anggita hesitating to return the envelope. Seeing that at last, Anggita grasped the thick envelope. Anggita passed from the room after encouraging Nia to recover immediately.


Only Danny and Nia are in the room. Nia looks avert her eyes while Danny is already standing very close to Nia's bed.


"I'm sorry Nia. It's my fault" Danny said in a hoarse voice. He realized that he was acting desperate to marry Nia. It didn't happen like this. Apart from Nia's capture. Danny realizes that he who can't act manly is facing Nia's pregnancy.


Nia did not answer. Nia bit her lips so as not to shed tears.


"As papa said. I'll marry you as soon as possible" Danny said. Nia has not yet answered. For him, Gunawan and Grandma Rieta's blessing and Danny's responsibility is too late. He wanted that responsibility to avoid embarrassment. Now that one of the babies has left. Danny and his family offer kindness. Kindness that was too late because Nia had felt how hurt because she was reviled. Heartache for being the subject of gossip from his neighbors. Which makes Nia unable to forget Danny's actions when the man asks himself to convince Salsa by telling her his own stupidity. It can be said from that moment. Nia was like a human being humiliated in public..


"No need brother. No one else needs your responsibility. I'm serious" replied Nia.


"But I'm serious about Nia, too" said Danny. It turns out that the birth and departure of their baby boy opened the eyes of the hearts of Gunawan, Grandma Rieta and Danny.


"But I'm serious too, brother. I've made it through that difficult time even though I had to let the baby go. Don't make yourself the one responsible for the baby boy's departure. It's not anyone's fault, including you. It was purely my destiny and the fate of that baby. Did Salsa not accept your love even though I told her my own stupidity. Since then I've been waiting for your wedding invitation card" Nia said very seriously and insinuated Danny.


Danny looked down his head. He thought that marrying Nia would make the woman's grief less. Seeing the seriousness of Nia, Danny can see that Nia really does not want to be married by herself. But her heart also feels guilty considering how she asked Nia to come to the cafe only to convince Salsa if Nia's pregnancy was not an element of willfulness or because of death seduction.


"What does this have to do with preterm birth?" ask Danny. Nia brought up the incident, it meant that Nia was very sad because of that. Especially with your own eyes. Danny saw the rain and the cold.


"Please take it that way."


"I'm sorry, Nia," said Danny after a few minutes of pondering guilt. He not only guarded but endangered his own flesh and blood.


"If there is nothing more to talk about. I want to rest, sister," said Nia again. His words drove away the gentleman.


"alright. Quickly recovered," said Danny staring at Nia for a moment then turned around. Nia was not looking at the man at all. Even when he heard the sound of the door closing. Nia was still faithfully looking at the wall of the room.


Outdoors. Danny sees Gunawan standing at the payment administration desk. They checked whether it was true what Nia said if the entire cost of labor had been paid.


"Thank you" Gunawan said after learning that the payment for a patient named Nia was in order.


In the car. Anggita gives the envelope returned by Nia to Grandma Rieta.


"Why was it returned?" asked the Grandma in surprise mixed with sadness.


"Maybe because Nia doesn't need it, Grandma" Anggita replied. Grandma Rieta took the money back. His heart was so sick of getting rejection for his kindness. All this time he tried to do good to people who are less able. All happily accept his kindness as well as his self who feels happy because it feels useful to others.


But right now, Grandma Rieta is getting a new lesson. It turned out that he also felt a deep pain when he got a rejection. He understood now how sick Nia was when her words rejected the woman.


"Nothing is more valuable than self-esteem. We can't buy into other people's self-worth as much money as we have. It is natural for Nia to reject your kindness. Nia just wants to keep her pride after the painful thing you gave her" Evan said.


Evan's words further awaken Gunawan, Rieta's grandmother and Danny will be mistakes in the past.


"But grandma didn't mean it that way. Grandma just wanted to help Nia. Granny's sincere."


"That's now. Back then?. Don't make Nia forget what you did as soon as possible" Evan said.


"How were you talking to Nia?" ask Grandma Rieta to Danny who is sitting in the backseat.


"Nia's not willing to granny," replied Danny quietly.


"I am also in the position of Nia. Will not be willing to marry you. I think Nia made the right decision" said Aunt Tiara, joining Danny and Grandma Rieta.
