Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
Make up

"I'm sorry, Tania. Really sorry. For that, please forgive me for making this heart more spacious and the burden carried over the seven years lifted all."

Miranda bowed her head, her eyes were tightly closed and both hands were clutching at each other. Today he put his ego aside, sacrificing his pride and dispelling his arrogance in front of Tania, a former daughter-in-law who was never considered.

The atmosphere was suddenly silent, there was no response whatsoever from the young lady sitting opposite Miranda. Mirandan and Jonathan wait for Tania's reaction to the apology that Xander's birth mother just made.

Oh my God, why is Tania silent? Is this a sign that I will forever not be sorry for Tania and my son, Xander? inner Miranda.

Tania who was still frozen in the place did not know what to answer because she herself still did not believe that a person like Miranda was willing to apologize to others. All of these events so suddenly made the woman unable to think clearly.

Gathering courage in the chest. Miranda gradually opened her eyelids, then looked up her head slowly until her neutrals met Tania. However, Tania was still unmoved on the spot.

Miranda tilted her head to the side and whispered, "Mas, why is Tania silent? Does he still hold a grudge against me for ever defaming him."

Jonathan replied in a soft voice, "Maybe Tania is still in shock because you don't think you want to apologize to her" he replied wisely.

With a steady heart, Miranda reopened her voice. "Tania, I know that what was done in the past is hard to forgive. However, it is my great hope that you can forgive and bury all the memories in the past. Aunty wants to start everything from scratch. Are you willing to give me a second chance."

Tania let out a long breath. It was enough to let Miranda speak and now it was time for her to answer all the questions addressed to her.

"Tante, I appreciate your sincere intention to apologize to me. Really, I didn't expect that Auntie would ask me to come here just to apologize" Tania said. Miranda and Jonathan give attention to the young woman opposite them.

"All of this was so sudden that I thought about whether or not this time was dreaming because Aunt Miranda was now very much different from before. Aunt Miranda who is now so kind, meek and certainly no longer arrogant as before. I .. until made to not believe what I just heard."

Laughing, Miranda again said, "I would be surprised and feel like I was dreaming because suddenly someone from your past came and apologized to you. You must be asking in your heart, satanic tambet what Aunt Miranda would like to apologize to me. Right so?" ask by commenting on the sweet smile on the lips.

Tania nodded her head while smiling stifledly. In the woman's mind came the question as Miranda said. However, he did not heartily convey it to his former father-in-law.

"Tania?" Miranda ventured to touch Tania's hand on the table and again said, "Aunty's apology just now was truly sincere, coming from the bottom of the inner heart. Now you realize that what you have done in the past has ruined your good name in the eyes of everyone. Aunty's really sorry, Tania."

The face that has been polished make upa and red lipstick flaming now become wet by tears. When recalling the incident, Miranda's chest felt as tight as a very large stone. His life became unsettled because he felt being pursued by guilt.

"Auntie's sorry, Tania. Very, very sorry," said softly between sobs. Miranda could not stand it anymore and finally the tears fell down her cheeks.

Next to Tania's hand was cupping the back of Miranda's hand which was touching the back of her hand. "Here you go, Auntie doesn't have to apologize to me because I've forgiven all your past mistakes. It was hard at first to forget the events in the past, but continuing to remember the incident only makes the chest feel tight and even we hurt because we keep thinking about something that has passed."

"For that, Aunt should forget all the events that happened to us in the past. Bury all those bitter memories and promise not to repeat them again at a later date. That way, I'm sure Auntie's life will be a lot quieter."

The more tears Miranda. The remorse in the woman was growing. The woman continued to sob while regretting her past actions.

"Tania .. k-you .. really good woman. I'm sorry I've been mean to you." Miranda's body moved down and up. The sobs of the woman were still heard loud in Tania and Jonathan's sense of hearing.

Tania smiled broadly. His eyes also glazed with tears because they were moved. It never occurred to him that there would be a time when he and Miranda made up, sitting together in the same place talking to each other like two people who were close.

The longer Miranda's cry grew louder. He cried bitterly while occasionally speaking words that were difficult to understand.

Unexpectedly by a middle-aged couple, Tania got up from the chair and hugged her ex-in-law's body tightly. "I've forgiven Auntie. Yes, no more crying. Poor Om Jonathan, be sad."

Miranda chuckled in tears. The warm embrace of Tania gave the middle-aged woman peace. He also returned Tania's embrace tightly as if afraid of her former daughter-in-law disappearing from before him.

Beside them, Jonathan glazed over at the heartwarming sight. His heart also felt peaceful, finally the dispute for many years could be resolved. Just ask Miranda to meet Abraham, his parents and apologize to them and do not forget to clear Tania's name no matter what.

Thank you Lord, for opening the door of my wife's heart. I'm happy for the favors you've given me Jonathan said in his heart.
