Forgive Me Both
Faisal Impact

"But Mom was right, right, never borrowed money with Vani? You never bothered Vani when I was in the office?" faisal asked after they finished eating. Faisal just wanted to make sure of everything Vani said this morning.

"What do you mean, son? You accused Mom of bothering Vani? You accuse me of asking for money with your wife, do you?" asked Bu Widia with a face she didn't like. The woman was visibly offended by everything Faisal said to her.

Now at the dinner table there are only Faisal, Bu Widia, and Luna. While Mr. Harjo has been gone since half an hour ago.

"I'm not an accuser, Mom. I just want to know what Vani said to me."

"What did Vani say to you? Is she ugly, Mom? Basic, brash daughter-in-law!"

"Bu–it's not so, Ma'am ..." Faisal felt wrong to ask his mother that. He should have kept it to himself. If it was like this, his mother would scold Vani all out.

"Emang Mba Vani what's the story to Mas Faisal? Must be ugly for me too, huh?" Luna followed. He was very sure if Vani also complained about his attitude all this time to the man.

"What the hell, don't go along, Lun!"

"I'm not following along, Mom. I just don't accept that Mba Vani is uglyin me, especially Mom. He's a slander, Mas!" luna said in a very convincing voice.

"You heard it yourself, right? Vani is slandering Mom, son." Ms. Widia even deliberately turned the facts around. It was as if Vani was the guilty one.

"So, Vani lied to me, Mom?"

"hey are. Anyway why am I asking Mba Vani for money. We also got rations from Mas Faisal and Mr." Luna added. Luna's words look convincing, so Faisal is now really confused to believe his wife or two women.

"Now you believe, don't you, that Vani is a liar?!" Ms. Widia reassured once again when she saw the doubt on her son's face.

"Yes. I believe in Mother. But, I promise you won't upset Vani, right? Let me advise him later." Faisal continued to try to protect Vani even though he was upset by the woman's attitude.

The woman up ahead developed a smile. Ms. Widia felt that success had made Faisal really believe her.

"Udah, go home. Rest. Don't forget to come here often bring me food," said Ms. Widia before she got up from the dining table chair.

"Yes, I said, Mom. Assalamualaikum." Faisal stepped towards the exit after saying goodbye to his parents.

At exactly eleven o'clock Faisal set foot in the living room of his house. The man went straight to the room and found Vani sleeping on the bed. After removing the tie wrapped around the neck and putting down the briefcase, the man stepped towards the bathroom to clean himself up.

Ten minutes Faisal was in there and came out fresh. At that time he found Vani who was awake with a sitting position waiting for him.

"Home home, Mom?" ask Vani in a soft voice. He who heard the sound of water gurgling from the bathroom was forced to open his eyes.

"Udah." Faisal stepped towards the wardrobe passing the woman just like that.

"Will I eat? Or, did I make something?" Although in a state of severe drowsiness Vani still forced himself to serve Faisal. Worry if the man is hungry after overtime.

"No need. I was full. You go to sleep again!" Still with a standing position against Vani.

"Well, do you want some tea? Or, ..."

"No need! I said no, no need!" Faisal's voice began to rise. Vani was surprised to hear that.

"Mass?"

"Do you want me to get a pijitin?" Vani's hand had landed at Faisal's feet. Perhaps the man was angry because he was too tired, maybe he could massage him for a while.

"No, Van. You heard it!" Brushed Vani's hand violently.

Vani swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. Suddenly the pain pierced the lump of flesh inside there. Once again Vani did not expect that Faisal would speak that harshly.

"Mas ...?"

"I'm tired, Van. You know, right?!"

"Mas, a–aku ha– ...?"

"Can you shut up, Van?! I'm tired! I need a break!" snapped Faisal until Vani furthest to the back.

Vani schematized the layered cloth on his chest. That's what Vani feels. It did not feel that the crystal had already fallen past both of his cheeks.

Vani did not know what was wrong this time, why Faisal had to beat him. He just wanted to offer food, he just wanted to serve it. Then, what's wrong?

"Yes already. Sorry." Vani said softly, even his voice was barely audible.

Faisal was silent. The position of the man also faced sideways, towards the wall and turned his back to Vani

Was it because of this morning, that Faisal was still angry with him?

Vani got up and stepped quickly towards the door. He could no longer bear to remain in a room with the man.

He better avoid.

The guest room is now the destination. Inside there Vani cried as it was, blowing away all the tightness he had felt since. He told everything to the Owner of Life.

Why God? ... Wh why?

After tired of crying and spilling all the tightness, finally Vani fell asleep. But, towards midnight, Vani felt a chill that pierced to the bone. As Vani's hands try to feel around, look for the presence of a blanket on the bed. But, a burly hand suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Sorry, me, Van. I snapped at you." Vani hapal is right the voice of the man who is currently holding him from behind. I don't know since when Faisal followed him here, for sure Vani was very happy to hear the apology from the man.

"Mas, you?" Vani wanted to twist her body, but the man hurriedly held her back with his position earlier.

"I want to hug you, Van. We haven't slept in a gini-rich hug in a long time, have we?"

Vani's mind was suddenly deadlocked, remembering the last time he and Faisal hugged each other while going to sleep. It feels like a long time ago.

Even now the man had already slipped his face on the neck niche belonging to Vani.

"Mas ...?"

"Sleep again, Van. You're still sleepy, right?"
