In the face of his now aging face, much time has robbed him of his time and Atifa in her belief trust Faraz back.
But when he came back...Atifa was numb, even now that Faraz resembled an unfamiliar figure, her longing evaporated like dew in the blazing morning.
"No, I don't want him anymore, I don't know him anymore, I don't want to be with him anymore..." His heart screamed as if it was revolting in an opening.
He should have hugged Faraz, kissed her to the satisfaction of this because this was the man she was waiting for or.or hit her hard and soaked her with a million pains.
But, what could he do, when he saw that helpless face?
Slowly Atifa's hand stretched out, touching Faraz's shoulder trembling
"Sister..." Atifa's voice sounded for the first time, coming out from her mouth.
Faraz loosened his head, they met a glance for a moment.
"Sir Sharif..." Call her, caressing Faraz' cheek gently, spilling a little of her remaining flavor. She really knew it was Faraz, but her heart refused to show that she recognized him now.
"Sir Sharif, tell Brother Faraz..." He said with a strange smile, how painful his heart was when he pretended not to recognize Faraz again.
"I'm tired of waiting..." Whisper raucous. That is the honesty he wants to speak of. He wanted Faraz to hear it, even though he was sending a message to his brother.
"Atifa.this is me.This is Faraz." Faraz wept roaring at Atifa's feet, but Atifa seemed to be hiding behind the door, peering and preparing to close it.
"Forgive me, brother.please forgive me.please..." Faraz howled, looking pitiful.
"Sir Sharif, you are right, brother, I have paid dearly for my love for Faraz. Just tell him, I'm sincere, don't ever come back." Atifa said later, she had wasted so long waiting for someone who turned out to be no longer in her heart.
He was lost for so long in his feelings that he didn't realize his love for Faraz was dead.
Time erodes all his feelings for Faraz without being noticed by him.
"Toooh..." Atifa looked at her beautiful daughter. A deeper wound and sadness is seen in the twinkle of the eyes of the child who has been abandoned because of his selfishness according to his own feelings.
"Mom's tired, I want to sleep..." Atifa moved to her wooden bed witnessed by several pairs of unblinking eyes staring at her.
He then lay facing the wall like a statue, his tears rushing down the wall that had been for ten years locking him up in his own loneliness and illusion.
"I'm sorry Faraz, I don't want to go back to you, I don't want to insult myself again by indulging in fate to make you love me. You've been gone too long and now you're so foreign to me. I thought my love was so great to you but it turned out I was wrong, my selfishness alone that I thought was love."
It should have been her consciousness ten years ago but Atifa misled herself in her own mind, so she lost her sanity.
"I love you so much, but it used to be. I even forgot what your hug felt like when I laughed and cried. I will try to forgive you like a big heart Aisyah accepts you, but I can never promise to really be able to do it. But, for the rest of my life I could never forgive myself for being so adoring to you."
What the heart wants is not always in harmony with what the eyes see. When we want everything to be the same, we go crazy.
"Dear my dear son, give me time to remember everything again, my memory is like a frosty glass, sometimes it comes missing sometimes like a shadow. I will try to heal myself, even if I know I'm not the same as I used to be. My memories and emotions, like the waves in the ocean, came and went without me being able to control them. But I promise you, I'll make up for it by always being by your side when you need me."
...***...
That sunny afternoon, at the cafe where Bram arranged a meeting as well as lunch with his family.
Atifa came with Aisyah, while Faraz had been there first picked up by Bram.
Aisyah refuses Bram to take it, saying she will come with someone.
Bram thinks Aisyah came with Mumun's mpok or bestie mbak Retno, they really did not expect if Aisyah came with her mother.
Atifa inside with her white veil looking so lifelike, Faraz was stunned when she saw him giving his greetings then took a seat next to her.
"How are you, brother?" That question was the one Aisyah always asked her, and that was the first sentence she said in front of Faraz.
"Ba.good. Thank you very well..." Faraz replied stammeringly, misbehaving the peck.
"We don't need to talk about anything today other than the happiness of our son, Aisha." He said half a murmur.
Doctors have allowed Atifa to be brought by Aisyah, one day only indeed, they are still monitoring the emotional stability of Atifa, Atifa, but from his health record in the last 3 months the progress shown Atifa made him given the opportunity to come out for the first time.
Aisyah is armed with a few grains of tranquilizers and even sleeping pills to keep things that may happen and not be desired.
Atifa was very calm, her smile thinly expanded and it was as if she had never experienced a mental breakdown.
"Mother is well enough to be with us." Said Aisyah while kissing the back of her father's hand, she knew the look of her father's eyes asked a lot.
Aisyah had already contacted her father and told him a little about her mother's sudden consciousness, and Aisyah asked her father not to talk about anything that might arouse her emotions.
Bram kissed Atifa's hand with reverence, he stared at Aisyah for a moment with a look of disbelief.
"Mas Bram, mother has known about our relationship, he even gave his blessing before I said if mas Bram wants to propose to me today officially on them." Aisyah smiled a little carelessly at Bram's gaze so much.
Happiness comes, always right in its place, Bram is grateful for all the things that pass.
He had been equal in the third of the night even sometimes in the half of the day just to beg for the straight path for his match with Aisyah.
And God has granted it!
