I'm Not Dead, My Husband
Twenty Years

When Inara entered the correctional facility, it appeared that Abimana had just finished meeting someone. The brown envelope that was now in Abimana's hands caught her attention a little. Inara rushed closer to Abimana who was now preparing to enter the field again.

"Where to wait."

Abimana turned her body and looked at Inara who was walking closer to her. "What's up Inara, it's late afternoon. Why don't you go home?"

"Something I want to say."

"What?"

"About the reconsideration I'm gonna do."

"So you've met Amanda and Rayhan?"

Inara then nodded her head while smiling. "They agreed so much, they even said they had offered an appeal when you were sentenced to death but you didn't want to?"

Abimana then nodded. "Didn't I deserve the death penalty better? What use am I to live in this world again?"

"Where, even when you are still alive in the world, your chances of repentance are getting wider, you can still ask forgiveness from Him through the worship you do every day. Then don't you want to see your sons and daughters grow up? You want to see them grow up, right? Even if you can only see the picture? I promise, I'll routinely ask Amanda for photos of Sharen and Kenzo."

"Well, if that's what you want, after all, that review won't definitely ease my sentence, will it?"

"Yes but I always wish you a leniency even if it's a life imprisonment."

"And you're gonna wait for me during this sentence?"

"Yes, isn't that why I asked for a review."

"Then what about mom? Does your mom agree?"

"Yes, Aunt Vera agreed. It's just that he really needs time to be able to take you back."

"I'd be willing if mom hadn't forgiven me her whole life."

"Why do you please don't say that. One day your mama will accept you because after all you are her biological son, her flesh and blood."

Abhimana was silent, while Inara saw a brown envelope that was now in Abimana's hand. "What is Abi?"

"The divorce papers from Ghea, her parents who took care of our divorce, and who delivered this letter are one of her relatives because Ghea is currently in custody, he's been in prison for fifteen years."

"Oh," Inara replied with a smile.

"So you're officially divorced with her?"

Abimana also nodded. "Are you sad?"

"Not at all, why am I sad? She's not a good woman to me, I don't have any feelings for her."

"Good, so one day we can get married, right?"

"The reconsideration process is not yet under way, but you've been talking about marriage."

"What's wrong with hope? And I'm sure one day that hope will come true."

"Are you not ashamed to marry me?"

"Haha... Haha."

"Why are you laughing?"

Abimana was smiling. 'Woman freak, ' murmured Abimana.

⁇ ️ One month later ️

Inara smiled as she looked at Amanda who was now sitting next to her when she heard the verdict of the review trial filed by her.

"Happy Inara, Abhimana was finally able to get leniency, the twenty-year prison was much better than the death sentence that would be received by him."

"Yes, thank you very much for your help. Moreover, you also want to persuade Mas Rayhan to want to become a lawyer from Abimana. I'm sure Abiman must have gotten relief because he confessed his actions and turned himself in to the police, and he also behaved well during his time in custody."

"Yes Inara."

They drew near to Abimana who was standing with Rayhan. Inara smiled at Abimana. "Happy Abimana."

"Thank you very much Inara."

"Where to use this opportunity as best as possible, multiply worship, keep your behavior while serving time, keep trying to be a better person."

"Of course Rayhan."

"Where if you want to meet your children, you just tell Inara, we'll take them to see you."

"No Amanda, I never told you that they can't know me, it's just you and Rayhan that they know as their parents."

"But Abimana... "

"Amanda, help me. Please don't do that, please don't make my mind more tormented."

Amanda then looked at Inara who gave her a code to obey Abimana's words. Amanda nodded as well. "Well Abimana, I'll keep all this a secret. You just go through your punishment as best you can, you still have plenty of time to improve."

"Yes Amanda, thank you very much."

"Inara, Abhimana we're going home now" Rayhan said.

"Yes, thank you again" Inara replied.

"Thank you so much for helping" Abimana said.

"Yes." Yeah."

Amanda and Rayhan then exit the courtroom leaving Inara and Abimana who are still chatting.

"Rayhan what do you think?"

"One moment we still have to tell Sharen and Kenzo, but at least wait for the right moment."

"When they're grown?"

"Yes, about twenty years away" Rayhan said, holding Amanda's hand out of the courthouse.
