Father's Status On My Son's Deed
68. Mutual forgiving

Asia and Aji are still in the clinic. The two decided to stay at the clinic tonight. It is safer not to cause slander. Both of their parents will also come tomorrow morning after Fajr so, now they can still rest.

"Mas, what will happen tomorrow? Are they gonna be mad at me after what I've been doing all this time?" ask Asha who is currently engulfed in anxiety.

"How do you think? All this time they were worried about you so much, but you left without a trace. Do you know how sad they are? If you send a little news for sure they will not be angry either" replied Aji who deliberately wanted to tease the woman.

"I'm leaving because there's a reason, Mom. I didn't want to be separated from my son, regardless of how he was then, he was still my son. Even though the whole world is against her presence, I as my mother and only family will defend her life."

"Yes, I know. For that tomorrow we both have to apologize to them. I'm not leaving you no matter what happens. You do too, trust me. Always be by my side no matter what. Put your burdens on me, no more shouldering everything on your own because right now I'm going to take over that responsibility."

Asha nodded with teary eyes, not expecting it to be at this point. He also missed both his parents. As long as this is silent does not mean not wanting to know, he is only afraid if his expectations are not in accordance with reality. The woman had also prepared her heart, whatever her parents would do she would accept it with a chest of air.

"Now it's night, you should just sleep in bed, let me sleep on the sofa," said Aji who immediately made the woman look at him.

"Mas, you are sick, why am I even told to sleep in bed? You should have slept there, let me sleep on the couch. My body is also small, it's okay to sleep on the couch. I'm healthy too."

"On the sofa will definitely not be comfortable for you, you better just sleep in bed."

"Already, Mas. I don't want to argue with you, it's late at night you should just rest," concluded Asha who immediately laid her body on the sofa.

Not to forget also the woman sent a message to Ms. Ika that tonight she will stay at the clinic. He reasoned that Aji had not been allowed to go home. For now Asha has not been able to tell Bu Ika, it would be very long if told tonight. Tomorrow is just a meeting with his entire family so that everything is clear and there are no secrets anymore.

Aji tilted her body to see the sleeping wife. A smile was engraved on her lips, finally after a long time she was able to return as well along with Asha. The man could not wait to live together with his wife and son. Aji promised never to let go of the woman again. Until unknowingly finally the man flew into dreamland as well.

At 03.00 am Asha woke up, she intends to perform tahajud prayer first. At the moment his feelings are not okay. The fear dominates her, the woman wants to find calm. Aji also woke up and prayed with his wife. Both pray that whatever happens later they can get through everything well.

Azan dawn reverberated, the two immediately performed mandatory prayers, then went from the clinic and intended to pick up both families at the airport. Throughout the journey Asha's heart was overcome with fear. Aji who was next to him also tried to give him some calm. Both took online taxis.

Aji has sent someone to pick up his car in the mall. He also asked the person to take him to the airport so that he could take his parents later. The situation is also not really healthy, still need enough rest.

Aji clasped the wife's palm, knowing that she was not okay. "You calm down, we'll face it together. If you worry like this, you will not feel calm. Prepare your heart, make sure that everything will be fine. Both of our parents will also definitely understand each other."

Asha just nodded with a smile even though her heart was not fine. Aji's phone rang, her mother's name on it. For a moment he glanced at the woman beside him and immediately raised a call.

"Hello, assalamualaikum, Ma."

"Waalaikumsalam, Son. We were all at the airport. You haven't sent your address yet, where should we go?" ask Mama Tia who is across the phone.

"Mama just calm down there. I'll be picking you up soon."

"You picked him up yourself? Didn't you say you were sick again and told us all to come here? Why are you picking us up now?" mama Tia asked in surprise as she glanced at her husband and the two made up. She feels bad for feeling that Aji is lying.

"I'm okay, Mama take it easy. Wait there with the others, don't go anywhere."

"Yes, Ma. I'm healthy, it's just that my stomach acid was relapsing yesterday."

"Yes, you came here! Mom wait with the others."

Aji agrees and ends the call, while Asha looks increasingly panicked. I'd love him to say to get down here and go home first. However, after rethinking, sooner or later he will still meet with all of them. As Aji said, no matter what happens they will both deal with it.

If he were to leave right now, what about the struggle of that man who wanted to get back together. Asha also has the same feeling as Aji felt so, she also has to fight. Not long after, they finally arrived at the airport. Aji asks the taxi driver to keep waiting for her as she won't be long, just wanting to pick up her parents.

The man also promised to pay the waiting fee. Aji and Asha go hand in hand, their hands interlocking. The man did not let his wife out of reach. Finally from a distance he could see the whereabouts of the old men who were sitting on the waiting chairs.

"Assalamualaikum, Pa, Ma" Aji's greeting made everyone stare at him. How shocked he was to see who was next to the man.

"Asha," muttered Mama Nisa with teary eyes.

So also with Asha who has shed tears, when faced with her two biological parents. The woman immediately let go of the same husband's hand and kowtowed in front of her parents. Sobs came out from Asha's lips, everyone who was there was moved, there were even some people who looked at her in wonder.

"Wakeup! Don't be like this, you're Asha, right? Princess Mama?" mama asked Nisa while trying to wake her daughter.

Asha raised her head and nodded slowly. His lips were confused, unable to say a single word. Mama Nisa immediately hugged the princess and shed her tears there. Papa Harto who was beside him also hugged the two women he loved.

Just like his wife, he also misses his daughter a lot. The man felt very guilty about what he had done first because Papa Harto had unknowingly hurt his daughter. For years lamenting the mistakes that have been made, now finally able to meet again.

"I'm sorry Papa made you like this. Sorry, Papa has done so much wrong with you" whispered Papak Harto between their arms.

Asha immediately broke down her embrace and looked at the papa. His heart really hurt when he heard the parents who apologized to his son. Although they were guilty, Asha did not want her father to do so.

"Father don't feel guilty, I'm wrong here, I should have been honest from the beginning, but I was too scared and ended up making our family like this. I'm sorry."

"No, you're not wrong as a parent should Papa better understand your situation, but Papa instead did the bod*h thing."

"It's over, Pa, Asha, it's all over. The important thing is now that Mama's daughter is back, now we forget everything," interrupted Mama Nisa who does not want to be too late in grief.

Tia who realized earlier became watching also came closer to them. "Asha, sorry Mama too. Mama is guilty of you, Mama has insulted you in such a way. I'm sorry you've judged you badly without finding out the cause."

Asha looked at her former in-laws with a smile. Even though his face was now covered with tears. He also never blamed anyone for what happened in his life. For women, this is a part of life that must be lived.

"As a parent, you want the best for your child. I understand Mama's feelings because I'm also a mother at the moment so, Mama doesn't need to feel guilty" Asha said, clasping the palm of her former in-laws.

Tia felt grateful that Asha was so kind to her. The woman immediately hugged her ex-daughter-in-law, hoping that after this their relationship would improve. Papa Roni also apologized to Asha and with sincerity Asha also forgave him.
