I think Thamira did not tell Nithila about her second daughter, Jeeva, all this while because she is shown to be an emotionally sensitive mother....which is her major weakness.
Nithila has not been on good talking terms with Thamira for a long, long while now. In such circumstances, if Thamira did break the news about her second daughter, Nithila's reaction would have been: "Wonderful! Who is the father of this girl??" 😡
See, Nithila suspects that Thamira was not faithful to her own father in the first place. So she would not have believed Thamira's words that she has another long-lost little sister....
In the beginning of the story, when Nithila was on good talking terms with Thamira, Thamira chose to keep her 20 years of prison life in Andhaman as a dark secret. And that was exactly where Jeeva was born - in the Andhaman jail. So how could Thamira reveal to Nithila about having a second daughter who was born in jail...without talking about her prison life in Andhaman and why she went to prison? Those were the very facts that she wanted to hide from Nithila in the first place.
Besides, I think Thamira voluntarily gave up her newborn baby for adoption, as soon as it was born in the Andhaman jail. So even she must have been shocked to see her second daughter after many years.
Unfortunately, we were never shown the initial "emotional" meeting between Thamira and Jeeva. All their encounters in jail only suggest that Thamira is aware of her second daughter and after many years they are meeting again.
Like dasa sir said, I'm hoping the Jeeva/ Natraj flashback would come soon...so that all these doubts about Jeeva's upbringing are cleared.
