A week later with his son asleep in the stroller, Inge comes to Kei's cafe, and he asks Kei for time to talk to him.
They sat in chairs for two people by the window, while Inge's child stroller next to their table. Upin and Ipin, without orders, sit behind Kei's chair, and Kei believes they must have contacted Alex.
"What do you want to talk about?" ask Kei.
"Congratulations to your pregnancy Kei.." said Inge sincerely, and it made Kei's forehead wrinkle confused, what's wrong with Inge?
"Thank you.." reply Kei.
"I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time, Kei, but only today do I have that courage...."
Kei kept quiet, just looking carefully at the former honey, who now looks changed, even his tone to Kei was much more polite.
"In the moments between my life and death when I gave birth to Arian first, the impressions of my life journey appeared at that time. Those past flashbacks popped up irregularly, memories of when I was a teenager, then to a baby and into my adult life."
Inge fell silent again, his hands squeezed together, and his tears began to fall down his cheeks. For a moment Kei felt pity, but remembering what Inge had done to him, made Kei immediately brushed off the pity.
"At that time I felt really inside my memories, even I could feel how painful you felt when you knew I was carrying Galang's child, when I insulted you, and all my bad deeds to you, she said, I can feel it Kei, it hurts my heart as if I was the one being hurt instead of you Kei."
Inge let out a long sigh, calming himself down first before returning to continue his story, "I was just praying that God would give me a chance to apologize to you Kei. That's my purpose here today. I am even willing to leave Galang and let you come back again after your marriage contract with your husband is completed, and handing Arian over to you, I am sure you will be a good mother to Arian, you are a patient woman, your heart is sincere."
Is that true? Does he think I would gladly be willing to go back to Galang?
"You don't have to do that... I'm very happy with my current marriage, very, very happy." Kei said.
"Yes I know that now Kei, so now I'm not going to persuade you to go back to Galang again... I'm just here to apologize to you, because I've done so much wrong to you Kei, my words that have always hurt you, my insults to you, and especially separate you from Galang."
"I've loved Galang since we were in High School, and apparently Galang's mama knows that. He always persuaded me to tease Galang, to separate the two of you. Because mama thinks you're barren, and if I manage to conceive Galang's child, she promises to marry me to Galang, whether you agree to it later or not Kei..."
Oh my... What kind of parent would do that to his son and daughter-in-law? moreover, she is a woman.... A mother!!
"Did Galang know?" asked Kei coldly.
Inge shook his head loudly, "No... No. gabe... Galang doesn't know... And I really hope Galang never finds out, he will definitely hate me, and hate his mother... Now that she's left us, and doesn't want to see us once she finds out you can get pregnant with Kei, you're not barren like we always put in Galang's brain. He's committed all his mistakes to us, what would happen if Galang also knew my plan and mama..."
Inge pulled Kei's hand, and then squeezed it, his eyes staring at Kei's eyes, "I'm really sorry for you Kei, for all my mistakes with you, you want to forgive me... Please forgive me Kei." he asked.
Inge's tears flowed back to her cheeks, "Thank you Kei, I'm truly grateful that you've been willing to forgive us. Well, I saw it when we met at the store last week, you two seemed to love and love each other. And I can see such great love from the way your husband sees you Kei... I feel good, and I am sincere when I say it, seeing that you have found your happiness at this time Kei... I'm happy, and I'm breathing a little...."
"I also hope that you will find your happiness too
Inge laughed blankly, "I dare not expect it Kei, I know I am running my karma right now. Galang... And I had to raise our son alone... Having God give me a second chance to live, has made me grateful. In the future... Whatever karma I will undergo as a consequence of my bad deeds... I'll deal with it as sincerely as I can..."
Kei patted Inge's hand, "Everyone deserves a second chance... So don't be afraid to rearrange your life... To have a better life. Not everyone has the desire to change, let alone bravely admit all his mistakes. And it is never too late to change.change does have a heavy start, hmmm it may be chaotic in the middle of the road later, But, everything will be beautiful in time. For there will be no happy words, if there is no sorrow..."
"You do have a kind heart Kei... I feel more guilty about you." sighed Inge softly.
"Given the past, whether it's good or bad. The important thing now is how we can continue tomorrow better, you just need to remember it, there will always be a rainbow after the storm, and the answer to every prayer you pray. So, be patient Nge.." said Kei gently.
"Yes I will continue to be patient, I will continue to wait for Galang to return home, and hope he will forgive me and my mother. I don't know when I'll wait for him, maybe until I'm tired, or until Galang is tired."
"This bitch... He's still being childish... Always leave mistakes to others, without the need to reflect first if himself is also wrong... And always run away from problems, instead of facing them." Kei sneered.
Inge tried to smile, "Well you're right, unfortunately I've been holding a long enough love for him... Love that is strong and too deep to cover up all his mistakes and bad attitude. I'll keep waiting for him Kei..."
Kei will only answer when the chat notification reads on his phone, and Kei directly reads the chat from her husband.
"Unfortunately I'm doing a lot of work so I can't come to you... But I've sent the driver to pick you up, within ten minutes from now... You should've reached my office... Or I'll do what you think is 'rogue' again!!"
Ahh my arrogant giant...
muttered Kei inwardly while grinning broadly at the screen of his phone.
