Aksara For Arsyilla
Disentangling Tangled Yarn
After the Pradhana family said goodbye, Arsyilla stayed with Aksara and Baby Ara. Arsyilla was sitting and looking at her husband. It was as if Arsyilla needed an explanation from her husband.
“Kak, nothing you want to tell?” arsyilla asked her husband.
Aksara turned his head, then looked at Arsyilla who was sitting next to him. Aksara knew that Arsyilla was asking for an explanation from him. Therefore, perhaps this is the time for Aksara to explain everything to Arsyilla.
“Why Honey?” tanyakanya.
“No story needed? I think there's something strange between you and Rangga. Also as if there is no closeness between Thania and Rangga,” reply Arsyilla.
“Oh, it .. yes as it is, Honey,” Reply Aksara.
Then Arsyilla chose silence and waited for her husband to tell her. Arsyilla will wait until her husband tells her. Because, how much time it takes Arsyilla does not matter, she will wait until her husband tells her.
As if feeling that his wife was waiting for him, Aksara finally began to open his mouth and make a sound.
“Our relationship is as you can see, Honey. It all happened when Rangga was in the 3rd grade of High School, when he impregnated his lover and finally born Thania. Dad and I always tell you to date healthy and not to overstep the line. But what happened was just the opposite. Although Thania was present in a bad condition, but Thania was present in God's plan is not it? It's just that I feel that what Rangga has done is not right. I was disappointed with him,” Aksara story in the end.
Indeed Aksara does not tell everything in detail, but enough for Arsyilla to understand how disappointed a Brother to his own sister. Arsyilla tried to look at it from the point of view of the Scriptures today.
“That was a long time ago, brother? Throw away your disappointment. Accept and forgive Rangga. You can accept Thania, but can't improve your relationship with Rangga?” ask Arsyilla.
“I'm already disappointed, Honey .. He should have been more careful in acting. Not rash. What he did was wrong, but Bhishma's father always spoke about Thania's presence was not a mistake. During the Rangga event at that time, Mother Kanaya fell ill. There is a sense of pressure because his son did such an action on the bench of SMA.”
This time Aksara can tell the problem and how disappointed Aksara to his own sister. Arsyilla tries to understand everything.
“Fire is reasonable, Sis ... unnatural it is precisely the feeling of disappointment that persists for a long period of time. Forgive and start from zero. I'm sure, Mother and Father must also be sad to see the relationship between his two sons who do not get along well. The heart of every parent wants the children to live in harmony, peace, and there is no dispute with each other,” replied Arsyilla.
“What can possibly be?” ask Aksara now.
“Can ... definitely can. Soften your heart, Sis .. see him as a brother who could have made a mistake. Forgive her and start from zero,” pinta Arsyilla this time to her husband it.
The characters are silent and seem to think. Occasionally the man massaged his forehead which felt dizzy. What his wife said was completely true, but Aksara felt that her heart was still disappointed with Airlangga. It had been four more years of time passed, and the relationship of the two could not be said to be completely improved.
“Those who can live together by accepting each other's mistakes in the past, and will remain willing to forgive in the future, are family. So, do not be hard, forgive Rangga,” reply Arsyilla this time.
Her job is only to advise her husband to make up with his own sister. As for the relationship of Rangga and Thania, not the family. Better, it is Rangga himself who is looking for a way to regain Thania's heart.
“Don't do it for me .. but for your own sake, for the sake of your family, Brother,” reply Arsyilla.
Because doing something if it is not based on sincerity, the results will be in vain. Arsyilla said, Do something for yourself.
“Iya Honey .. Yes, I will try it. Thanks for talking to me,” reply.
“Sama-sama Kak .. This is what family is like. When there is a tangled thread, do not press the thread until it ends up getting tangled. However, tangled threads can be broken. As it is a problem, do not leave it protracted, but face the problem and find a solution,” reply Arsyilla.
Aksara who had been staring at his wife then smiled, “Bijak really ... his wife who the hell,” reply Aksara now.
In the eyes of Aksara that his wife was wise. Although sometimes Arsyilla looks spoiled, but if faced with a problem, Arsyilla can find a solution. He can solve problems well.
“Wife Kak Aksara dong,” reply Arsyilla with a laugh.
“Sini hug first, Honey .. kangen deh same you,” reply Aksara who has opened both hands, hinting to his wife to enter into his arms.
Bak got a clear signal, Arsyilla shuffled and entered into the arms of her husband. She put her hands around her husband's waist and put her face on his chest.
“I know .. You are a good man. You've managed to be a good husband to me, and a good father to Ara. Now, try to be a good Brother also for Rangga,” said Arsyilla again.
Aksara nodded her head, “Iya Honey, I tried ... try well. If it doesn't work out, it's okay, right?”
It was as if Aksara was negotiating with his wife. If negotiations fail, there should be no problem, right?
“No problem Kok Kak, the important thing is you try,” reply Arsyilla.
“Still Honey,” Reply Aksara.
“Sama-sama Hubby,” says Arsyilla.
Aksara sighed and clenched tightly to his wife's body so tightly. Occasionally Aksara also lowered his face and kissed the top of his wife's head. It was great to have Aksara get advice from his own wife. For, Aksara knew that the counsel of Arshilla was also for his good and the wholeness of his family.
Disputes in the family vary. Someone is trying to get it done as soon as possible. Some people let it go until time goes by for so long. There are also those who feel conflicted and never finish it until the integrity of the family is at stake. Family are those who can live together and understand each other. View the problem as a tangled thread that must be parsed together. Accept each other, and do not dispute the differences. Those who are called family will be able to soften their hearts to forgive and accept each other.
