Hot Couple: Love Story Inara Season 2
Victory Day

Iandang takbir's been echoing since last night. Today, early in the morning Reza and I arrived at my aunt's house, on purpose - because as planned, everyone would pray at home. I love the white feel that this morning is so pleasing, everyone is compact.

After the completion of the ied prayer, the next agenda is sungkeman. My mother - as the oldest of us - was the first to be honored to sit in a chair where everyone would bow down to her. Then followed my uncle, then my aunt, and so on according to age: Reza, me, Ihsan, Aarin, Rafasya, Randika, Raline, and lastly Raheel.

Which is a hot topic to be discussed in this sungkeman of course when Ihsan who got the turn sungkem. First to my mother, then to my uncle, then to my aunt. And after that...

"I'm sorry" he said as he sat on his knees in front of Reza. He wanted to shift directly in front of me but I forbade him.

It's not that easy, Fergus....

"A true apology" I said. "With a heart."

Ihsan glared, but she finally gave up. "Yes, yes" he said reluctantly. "I'm sorry for everything that's happened so far. Sorry for all my actions and attitudes that may cross the line, even if I don't think so at all, and I don't feel guilty."

"Ihsan..," I reproved.

Fuck up!

"I'm sorry, the whole thing I've been doing is just protecting my sister. We go back to the beginning again, zero-zero, okay? That's if you don't make mistakes anymore."

"Mas forgives you, and understands everything. I'm sorry too, huh? Forgive me for making you angry and disappointed."

Ihsan nodded without saying anything and immediately shifted in front of me. "I'm sorry, yeah. Forgive me for all my mistakes. What I've been doing all this time - it's all because I love you so much."

I'm nodding. "Yes, I understand. I forgave you. I'm sorry too, I've been troubling you all this time. Thank you for being so dear to me. Hug first, here."

Uuuh. The feeling of silence this year is different, this time it feels like each other apologizing really from heart to heart. Even when I apologized to Reza, I had sungkem personally this morning after the dawn prayer. I have kissed her hand solemnly, expressing my apologies for my selfish attitudes whenever we have a fight - - I always want to be in the truest position and not give in. Even when I admit my mistakes, I still want to be in a position that is justified, forgiven, and should not be scolded. He also apologized to me, but I refused to listen to his long description.

"Shhh... Nara forgave everything. All the mistakes of Mas Reza. It does not need to be explained, and you should not discuss all the mistakes that have passed. Just please, keep making me happy. If we are happy, we do not have time to remember the past. Am I right? Hmm?"

Reza smile. "really. And those are my words. I'm glad you have such a sharp memory that you remember what I said. Here, Mas hug."

Thank ye. You taught me so much about love and warmth.

That was when: the meaning of victory was felt in the heart.
