Forgive Me Both
Vani's New Status

"What testament, Buk? You never say anything to Bagas?" ask the man.

Ms. Ratna took a long breath. The woman was silent for a long time, recalling what her husband said two years ago before he died.

"Actually, you've been in the same match with your daughter since she was a baby."

"Hhhh ...!" Bagas was surprised. His mother's words had made Bagas think, did you deliberately say that because you are still not sure I will stay away from Mba Vani?

"It's not a lie, Gas. It also has nothing to do with Mba Vani. So, you don't have any thoughts that this is just common sense."

"No, Buk. Bagas knew that Ibuk would not come to lie that far just because of Mba Vani," Bagas replied reassuring his mother.

"So you want to follow your father's last request?"

This question really makes Bagas in lema. If he gets married later, Bagas is eager to make his own choice. Not because he was married by his parents.

"But if you don't want to mother won't make any sense. The important thing is that I tried to tell your father the last message. Nor will I forbid you to be close to anyone as long as she is not a married woman. Do you know what I mean?" Ms. Ratna waived the decision at Bagas' hands because after all the man was going to have his own marriage.

"Is Ibuk sure Bagas can refuse my father's request?" ask Bagas in a soft voice.

"The decision remains in your hands. I won't understand if you don't agree." Mom's face looks sad. Bagas became more confused.

"If you agree, in two days we go to where my father's friend lives. I happen to have a full address."

After saying everything, Ms. Ratna said goodbye to return to her room. Bagas alone pondered all his mother's words.

"You're so crazy, Ren, that you like people's wives?" Mr. Heri held onto his chest which suddenly felt pain. Next to him the wife immediately panicked, staring at the face of her son who was still silent in his position.

"Udah, sir, enough. Remember the doctor's message, you can't stay angry."

"Your son has gone too far, Buk. He .. akhhh ..." The pain is getting worse. Renan was anxious and approached the father, but the man pushed him violently.

"Don't be embarrassed by acting stupid like that, Ren. There are still many beautiful women out there, why even married women you like?!"

"Your father said, Ren. Do you not fear sin by ruining their marriage."

The words of his parents continued to rotate in both ears. Renan falls in love with Vani. The woman is currently awaiting divorce from her husband. Is it wrong to wait for him?

"Don't agree you're married to that woman!" mr. Heri said ending the debate.

It has been a month since Vani lived in the village and lived his new profession as a scrub washerman following in the footsteps of his mother first.

Every morning Vani started his activity from door to door picking up dirty clothes and dropping them off again in the afternoon when it was clean. Even so Vani is very grateful because with his own life even he feels calm and happy.

"Van, there's a courier looking for you." Nisa's neighbor and close friend came to deliver a courier who had been confused looking for Vani's address.

"Right, this is with Mba Vani?" The voice of the man who mentioned his name appeared to be thrusting something, "There's a package, Mba. Please sign the receipt first."

The courier left after the package changed hands with the owner.

Vani and Nisa look at each other. The two women were seen observing the package that Vani had just received.

"What's it about, Nis?" ask Vani the girl next to him.

"Try opening it, Van. Who knows that stuff is for you."

Vani looks to nod. Slowly the woman opened it and her two eyes instantly widened perfectly.

Vani's body almost collapsed reading letter by letter listed in a white sheet.

Yes, the white sheet was a letter from the religious court stating his current status.

"Miss ...."

The clear crystal escaped from both corners of Vani's eyes. His heart was broken into pieces along with his body that fell sitting on the floor of his house.

"You're patient, Van. Maybe your soul mate is the same Mas Faisal just got here." Nisa hugs Vani's frail body and tries to calm down.

Vani did not expect Faisal would actually divorce her. Within a month, Vani hopes the man will come and change his decision. Vani still hopes Faisal asks him to return and fix his household again.But, it turns out Vani was wrong, who came even a divorce letter from Faisal for him.

"Does this mean I've been dumped by Mas Faisal, Nis? Does he love me no more?"

Nisa could say nothing but be the listener of the woman. Vani was still crying and spent the whole day locked up in her room.

Until the customers who usually use his services there are also those who come to the house.

"Mba Vani is sick? Why don't you take your laundry at home today?" ask the fat woman with a rather striking makeup. The woman is one of Vani's loyal customers since she opened a scrub washing service.

"Yes, Mom. Sorry well Mba Vani this day off first, it was suddenly sick." Nisa's meeting him. Vani did not want to leave the room at all.

"Oh yeah, tomorrow if it's healed please tell me to take the dirty laundry as usual huh, Mba?" said the mother as saying goodbye from the house of Vani.

Nisa could only exhale many times. Today there were more than three people who came and asked Vani's absence in his house.

"How many doors did you actually take, Van?" Salute with the struggle Vani exactly like his late mother.

Nisa checked again the state of Vani who was still sad in the room. After making sure the woman was okay, the girl paid to look at her house for a while.

"I'll be here again, Van, if I take a shower" Nisa said. The girl stepped out and walked down the path to her house.

"Sorry, Mba, would you like to ask? Which house is Mba Vani next door?"

"Hhhhh ...?"

Again, Nisa's been counting it four times.

The neat-looking middle-aged woman who had just got off the car looked puzzled. It looks like the woman is not a native here as seen from the license plate of the car parked back there.

"Sorry, where did you come from?"

Nisa Vani has no distant relatives. Then who is this woman? What was Vani's employer back in town?
