Apology
Firhan immediately said the original purpose of his arrival to his in-laws' house was to apologize to Wati and also wanted to bring Wati back home to Solo. However, the two Wati parents were also quite wise. They do not want to be involved, but are immediately welcome to enter Wati's room. Start the conversation together, and hope to finish it well.
"Daddy, I came here because I wanted to apologize to you. Besides, I'd like to invite you to come back to our house" he said.
For people who have never apologized before, then trying to apologize is not easy. However, Firhan was actually able and dared to say sorry. Really, Firhan himself found it not easy to say sorry.
However, Wati was still speechless and was reluctant to give an answer to Firhan. Until slowly, Firhan took a seat next to Wati, on the edge of the wooden bed, commonly called the cot.
"I fight, the nights that come here are only for you, Wati. I want to apologize, for my behavior that has not been good, I promise to fix it. However, to apologize to my past, I will consider it again," Firhan replied.
Even now he was telling the truth. What happened and related to her disrespectful attitude, Firhan will try to correct it. However, for his past, Firhan would consider it again.
"I won't speak rudely to you, nor will I force you to engage in marital relations. We fix everything together. Our households can become more harmonious" Firhan said.
Instead of discussing the past full of wounds, Firhan also prefers to improve his household first with Wati. Like looking at the roof of his house, is there a roof that leaks. Well, he's gonna fix that leaking roof right away. Ensure the house is more sturdy and can be occupied.
"Don't just shut up, Wati. You've been here a long time. Too long to follow the Father and Mother is also not good, Yang," he said.
Wati who was originally silent and shocked to see her husband who reached the residence of her parents finally spoke. "I will accept, if you repair our household. Besides, I'm asking you for treatment. Because, I want to have offspring," replied Wati.
In this case, Wati also tried to tell the truth and tell his wishes. He wants to have descendants. Therefore, he asked Firhan to go for treatment.
"Alright," Firhan replied softly.
After that, Wati chose to lie down and turn off the lights in her room. Wati thought, if you are going home to Solo, you should also go home tomorrow. It's too late to go back to Solo.
"Would you sleep?" ask Firhan.
"Hmm, yeah. We'll go back to Solo tomorrow, '" said Wati.
Firhan then let out a long breath. Today we have to spend the night at her in-laws' house. Then Firhan put himself on Wati's side. Although Wati had her back, Firhan chose to be quiet.
"Mas, but I'm asking, as soon as there's a chance to apologize. Apologize. By apologizing someone will not lose his pride. Instead, you will be called heartened because you want to apologize" said Wati.
"If I can," Firhan replied.
Again Firhan did not wish to promise. He only said it if he could. After all, Firhan felt that he still could not apologize to Ervita.
Next Day
Cloudy day. When in Solo, usually solar greet so warmly. Here, the sky was still covered in mist, and the cold air was piercing to the bone. Although she wanted to pull the blanket, Firhan was already awake. While Wati was already in the kitchen helping his mother to prepare breakfast.
Eventually, they got together for breakfast. Firhan was feeling awkward as well. Since becoming a son-in-law, only this time he had stayed at his in-laws' residence.
"Well can Mas Firhan sleep?" mrs Utomo asked her son-in-law.
"Can, Mom .. but it's really cold" she replied.
Mom and Dad smiled. "At the foot of the mountain it's this cold as Mas Firhan. Next time play here old. Stay a few days. Let you take a walk to Sukuh Temple, Kethek Temple, and Waterfall" said Pak Utomo.
What Mr. Utomo said was true. Because, in the Ngargoyoso area, Karang Anyar there are several tourist attractions and historical sites such as Sukuh Temple, Kethek Temple, and Cetho Temple which are believed to be relics of the Majapahit Kingdom. Then, there is Parang Ijo Waterfall, and there is Jumog Waterfall. Do not forget the tea plantations are so beautiful and can also be visited for selfies.
"Okay sir, next time I'll be here longer" Firhan replied.
"Well, now .. so now you're sitting together. As a parent, I want to give advice. Every household has its problems. No household goes well. However, do not hesitate to apologize and solve the problem. Also, for you, Wati. Don't run away from home anymore. Your intention to calm down, but that's not true. A wife's home is with her husband. Should be resolved well. I hope, after this you two can be more mature in uncovering the problem."
Mr. Utomo gave his advice. In his perspective, Wati who ran away from home was also judged guilty. Objective judgment because Mr. Utomo did not defend his own son. If wrong, the child must also be found guilty.
"I'm sorry Wati too, sir," he replied.
"Father feels good when your husband comes here to pick you up. Next time, remember it again. When there is a problem, it is solved. Don't come here when your heart is full of anger. Come here to enjoy the holidays. Enjoy the beautiful wedding. Who knows, God will leave a boogey for you."
Wati who heard the advice of his Father felt reminded with his fault. He went home to his father in a heart full of anger. Same with her own husband. However, Wati also felt sad because she did not know when she and her husband would be given a baby. Seeing the seriousness of Firhan's condition now, it seems that having a descendant is very difficult.
"Father willed, you will be able to get a baby. Or next time, spending time here for the honeymoon is no problem. Who knows, cold air can make couples more diligent. The seeds will soon bloom later," said Mr. Utomo again.
"Amin, just pray, sir. May Allah send a boogey for Firhan and Wati. We also want a baby, too" Firhan replied.
"Yes, Mas Firhan .. if not given, it means that you are both asked to enjoy halal courtship in marriage first. Hopefully soon," replied Mr. Utomo.
After breakfast, Firhan invited Wati to go home to Solo. Relieved for Firhan's heart because he could bring his wife home to Solo. Although Wati is still effective in speaking, Firhan believes that later Wati will also be able to behave as usual.
