20 Years Adrift
Chapters 107. Peacefulness
If Laura apologized for being forced, this time she really realized and admitted that she had been wrong. It is so easy for God to turn someone's heart around and get them back on the right path.
"Aira, I'm sorry. I shouldn't judge people by the wealth they have. Faya's simple appearance has also outwitted me, it turns out that you guys are richer than us." Laura spoke while sobbing.
"I've forgotten it. You are just khilaf. Don't you think about it anymore, the important thing is that you no longer demean others after this." Aira smiled sincerely at Laura.
Long silent, Affan added. She did not want Pak Aan and Laura to think that Aira was angry with them because she was not angry from the beginning. It was precisely him and Faya who were furious when Laura insulted him.
The story of Affan made Laura and Pak Aan even more amazed. According to him, in modern times like now very rarely left people like Aira.
Aira asks Affan to shift so that he can get closer to Laura. After seeing the regret on Laura's face, Aira did not want her grief to drag on.
"Laura, I've forgiven you long before you apologized. Every human has a different view. I'm sure you say that because you don't understand the lives of others who aren't as lucky as you." Aira spoke with teary eyes.
"Thank you, Aira. Hopefully in the future we can be good friends. I want to learn a lot from you." Laura spoke while sobbing.
"Of course," answered Aira, hugging Laura.
As the magrib approaches Laura and her father have just returned from Affan's residence. They were finally able to leave with a feeling of relief and an almost tenuous friendship was able to reconnect.
***
Affan and his family's lives are so peaceful after the Sintya case is resolved. No fear undermines their daily lives.
Affan can work quietly, as well as Faya who often do activities outside the home. For Aira herself, she stayed home more because she was pregnant. In addition, he also had to take care of and educate Sarah and Sapphira.
After graduating from elementary school, Sarah chose to continue her education to the boarding school. Affan and Aira do not forbid it and support it while the young Sapphira is still very sticky as Aira.
"Ma, no feel, yeah. Soon my sister will be born" Faya said as she and Aira sat in the living room with Aira.
"Yes. Estimated two weeks away." Aira stroked her enlarged stomach.
"How you feel, Ma. Don't be afraid, yeah. I will always pray for your safety." Faya hugged Aira.
"You take it easy, honey. It just so happens to be a holiday. So I'm just calm there's always someone who's nemenin." Aira chuckles.
"We are destined to be bestie. It's a good thing you married my father, try it if you don't. I could lose you. It must have been a terrible meeting that set you up with Aki-aki, hiii." Faya shuddered.
"You can just. But I used to miss not sure if you'd accept me as your stepmother or not."Aira told her story at the beginning of her marriage.
Faya stretched out her embrace then looked at Aira with a smile.
"I'm not even sure if you can like my old father or not. I used to only wish that if my father remarried he would have a sholiha wife and love me. God did not send you for me. Yeah, I'm so happy." Faya laughs.
They kept talking and joking until they were tired. The two fell asleep in the living room with the TV still on.
