Muara Kasih Single Mother
Time to Forgive
Meanwhile in Solo City ....
It didn't feel like nearly eleven months had passed since Ervita left home. Of course, Madam Sri sometimes feels lonely. However, her husband also seemed to feel no change at all. It's just that, when Mr. Agus worked in his antique car repair shop. Ms. Sri often enters Ervita's room. Just sit for a while in bed and observe the room usually occupied by Ervita.
It was imagined when Ervita so diligently taught the tasks of college. Everything is still in its place. The bed, study table, chair, television, and various books Ervita has are still in place. Even on the study table there are still photos of Ervita with Firhan when the two are dating on a gray white bench.
Mother Sri's hand was stretched out and touched the 4R-sized photo that was inside the frame that was on the nightstand. "You're both happy here, but when one mistake happens. Lost all that happiness. All are replaced with deep sorrow. Even through the fault of the two of you, a mother must be separated from her child. A father must be angry to throw his son out of the house. If you two could be more introspective."
The murmur was soft and felt so tight pronounced Bu Sri at that time. If there is no mistake one night that makes Ervita pregnant, it is certain that everything is still going well. Bu Sri will not be separated from his eldest daughter, Pak Agus will not be angry with his own son, and also Ervita can still go to college well. Unfortunately, everything is ruined because of a courtship that is overstepping the line.
"Love is caring together, not destructive. Then, after getting something valuable for what is not willing to take responsibility and just run away. Now where are you Ervita? It's been almost eleven months. Have you given birth to your child? How are you alive now? How come you've never visited Mom and Dad in Solo."
Tears just escaped from the corner of Bu Sri's eyes. Her heart as a mother is still so soft and also expects to be able to meet with Ervita. There is a longing that is held back, there is a longing that is unspoken, there is a desire to be able to meet. However, all of this is only said in the heart.
When Bu Sri was still in Ervita's room, apparently Pak Agus came home from the workshop that afternoon to pick up some mechanic equipment left at home.
"Mom, where Ms. .. would like to take the English key and some keys," asked Mr. Agus to his wife.
Feeling the call of her husband, Bu Sri immediately came out of Ervita's room. "Sir, how come home?" ask her a little scared.
It was all because Ms. Sri, and her youngest daughter Mei, were forbidden to enter Ervita's room. Now, it's as if Bu Sri was caught because she went into Ervita's room.
"Why go to that room, ma'am?" ask Mr. Agus by looking.
"No, just clean the dust anyway sir," replied Ms. Sri.
"It's tow Ma'am, don't have to go in there anymore," replied Mr. Agus with a sigh.
This time, it seems that Bu Sri's longing for her daughter is really unstoppable. Until Bu Sri dared to express her heart to her husband.
"Father .. if you have mbok yes already angry with Ervita. Ervita is guilty. This mistake is only a mistake by two parties. It's time for parents to forgive mistakes. It has been almost eleven months, surely Ervita has given birth and we already have grandchildren. Forgive Ervita, Mr. Forgive her, let's call Ervita and ask her to come back" said Ms. Sri.
"All Ervita has is us, sir .not blood is thicker than water. And when will you continue to be angry? What you don't miss with Ervita. We're sorry and we're looking for Ervita, sir .. pity the baby too."
Again, Ms Sri tried to soften her husband's hard heart. It's just that Ms. Sri, as a father of course her husband will also feel homesick with his own biological children. Children can make mistakes, and it is the job of parents to forgive them, and to lead them so that they do not make the same mistakes again.
"It's not Ervita's fault, both guilty, sir. It's just, it's as if all the mistakes were inflicted on our son because Firhan and his family were out of responsibility. Just believe me, Mr. . karma is happening. Not now, maybe some other time. Now it's as if only Vita was wrong because she was pregnant out of wedlock, but actually both are equally wrong" said Bu Sri again.
Yes, during these eleven months there had also never been any goodwill from the Firhan family. Even Mr. Supri if on the road cross paths with Bu Sri and Pak Agus actually throw their faces. Of course, as a family who felt aggrieved Pak Agus also felt so furious. Their children are guilty, but it is the parents who cover up the child's guilt and wash their hands.
"One day later, if Ervita comes home yes we welcome and accept well sir .. However, his son Vita is also our grandson. Already, don't remember Firhan. Everyone will get the reward according to their behavior. Focus on Vita and her son."
Slowly, Agus sighed harshly. The middle-aged man put his glasses on the nightstand and closed his eyes for a moment. "Actually this Mr. is embarrassed, Ms. .. still remember when Ervita could go to college when in our village all just graduated from High School, but Ervita could go to college and PMDK track. I am very proud of Ervita and hope that Ervita will be successful in the future, can make our family name. However, one mistake ruined everything. The lecture stopped halfway through, and the stain couldn't go away, ma'am. His son will bear it."
It was seen that Bu Sri was rubbing her husband's shoulder. "Let's just Mr. .. angry for a long time to his own child is also not good. Anger is harder, if you forgive and can coexist it's better."
"Yes, next time we find Ervita slowly. Just looking where are you, ma'am?" ask Mr. Agus.
"Yes, we try to go to the area around Solo only, Mr. .. hopefully we can find Ervita," said Ms. Sri.
At least Bu Sri was relieved to be able to persuade her husband, even her husband was already heartbroken now. Hopefully, they can find Ervita and can also re-assemble with her children and grandchildren.
