Auristela (Mu'Alaf Beautiful)
Forgive but not forget.


That afternoon Al stopped by the Pesantren. Because it just so happened that he was shooting for a magazine. He came to the Pesantren with Haris. But, Haris just drove off. Then he went back to the hotel.


"Assalamualaikum, sir. I'm Al Fatih." Say hello to the gatekeeper.


"Vaalaikumsalam. Can I help you, ma?" Welcome the man friendly.


"I came to see Mr. Kiai. I heard he's back from the hospital." Obviously Al.


"Oh, yes, yes, mas. Let me take you to Kiai's house." He took Al in his steps.


While Al is heading to Kiai sir's house. Kelvin and Marsya are close to arriving at the boarding school. So is Auri who is a little late in the back of the car carrying Kelvin and Marsya.


Auri drives herself. He deliberately came alone to the boarding school, because he only stopped by for a moment. While Alista, Rudi, Melki and Widia are waiting for him at their acquaintance's house. To just take a break from fatigue before returning to Jakarta.


Back to Al Fatih who has now arrived in front of Kiai's house. He was immediately welcomed by Umi.


"Son Al, let's go in." Bring along.


"Thank you, Miss."


Al stepped in with Umi. They arrived at the front room where Kiai was sitting leisurely enjoying a cup of hot tea in the afternoon.


"Assalamualaiku, Kiai." Sapa Al who direct sungkeman.


"Waalaikumsalam, my son." Welcome Kiai.


He stroked Al's back which was bowing to him. His tears will be dripping because he finally can meet directly with Al Fatih who he thinks is a great man and still clean heart even though Kelvin snatched his wife.


"I'm sorry Abi, my son. Abi failed to become a father. Abi failed to educate Abi's son." He said while crying in shame.


Al felt the pain Kiai felt. But, he just chose to be quiet and not say anything. Umi turned her face to hide her crying.


"I'm sorry Kelvin. Forgive Marsya, my son. Abi knows that it is difficult for you to forgive their wrongdoings against you. But, Abi still wants to apologize from you my son." Reciprocity.


"Kiai, there is no man who does not make mistakes, except Muhammad SAW. I don't deserve to forgive anyone Kiai. While I myself participate in that injustice. I am even more despicable for opening my own brother's disgrace to clear my good name which is actually not good at all. I'm sorry Kiai." Said Al.


He regrets revealing the truth about Kelvin and Marsya's affair in public. He was even ashamed of himself and also at Auri who had from the beginning chosen to remain silent. And as it turns out, silence is gold, your speech is a sword that is breathed into your own heart.


While apologizing to each other, Kelvin and Marsya arrive.


"Assalamualaikum, Abi, Umi." Sapa Kelvin and Marsya.


Hearing that voice Al immediately stood up and stepped away from Kiai. He gives Kelvin and Marsya space to silence Kiai.


"Pardon me, I will repent Abi." His voice in crying


Marsya hugged Umi's body. "I am Umi. I'm really sorry. I really want to repent." He said with a sob.


Slowly Al wiped away her tears. He turned his face away from Kelvin and Marsya who started staring at him.


"I apologize to Al Fatih. Verily, it is he whom you despise." Abi's orders to Kelvin and Marsya.


They stepped closer to Al who was still reluctant to look at them. Al's heart was beating very fast. His legs felt weak, his stomach seemed to want to take out everything inside. But, Al tried to hold him back and he tried to look good.


"Al I'm sorry Al. Forgive me for the mistakes I've done." Kelvin knelt down and held Al's leg.


He cried apologizing to Al Fatih. And so, he knelt down. She cried and was about to kiss Al Fatih's feet to ask for forgiveness for her wrongdoing while she was still the wife of Al Fatih. However, the accident happened quickly Al distanced his legs and grabbed Kelvin's body to stand up immediately.


"I may have forgiven you, Vin. But remember what I witnessed with my eyes, it was hard to forget and it made me feel a very heavy trauma." Al Reveal.


"I'm sorry, Al. I really want to repent. If you do not forgive me and Marsya, how our repentance is accepted by God." Kelvin said he felt frustrated.


"I keep going and keep trying to forget everything, Vin. But, that shadow, the memory of the incident could not be lost from my head. I've forgiven you, but I haven't forgotten what happened."


Al distanced himself from the two of them. Then Al said goodbye to Kiai and Nyai.


"Get your wife well, Vin. And you Marsya, be a faithful and obedient wife to your husband. Don't be easily blinded by your ill-gotten love and easily seduced." He told Kelvin and Marsya.


"I'm sorry Kiai, Nyai ma'am. Assalamualaikum." Al.


Then he stepped out of the house leaving Marsya and Kelvin still crying regretting their mistake. Likewise with Kiai and Umi who also stared pity and admiration for Al Fatih who humbly came to apologize for the mistake he did not make.
