My Baby'S Daddy
Apology for Neighbor Julid

"What's this?" erlan asked when she saw the many Mothers standing in front of Alina's residence. Alina who is still traumatized chose to hide from behind the burly body of her husband.

The Julia Mothers watch Erlan closely and finally realize that Erlan is the man who saved Alina when they kicked her out.

"Look, Sir. Actually we want to apologize to Alina for what we did to her. Fit him, sneered at him, to expel him from this village," said the middle-aged woman with a sad face returning Erlan's gaze.

"We decided not to leave here, before Alina really forgave us" the other mothers continued.

Erlan looked back then looked at Alina who was still hiding behind her back. Alina's face was still paled due to the fear she felt at this moment.

"Come, Honey. It's okay, they just want to apologize to you" Erlan said half-whisperingly to Alina.

Alina still did not fully believe the words of the Mothers. Alina was afraid they would lie and then do the unexpected again just like before.

"But, Mas ...."

"Trust me!"

Erlan nodded slowly while smiling. He took Alina's hand and led her before the Mothers. Alina ventured to stare at the faces of people who had been so 'sulid' towards her.

"Alina, I'm sorry, yes! All this time I've been misunderstanding and slandering you before I know the real story" said Mothers who live on the right side of her house. Women most julid and most like to 'stomp' Mothers of the villagers to participate ostracize her.

Alina knitted her eyebrows together in surprise as she sat down with the Mothers who were talking to her. The violent woman suddenly turned into a good neighbor and spoke softly to him.

Alina turned and looked at Erlan's face seriously. "They why? This must have something to do with you. Isn't that right, Mas?!" alina said in half a whisper.

Erlan shrugged both of his shoulders. "Seriously, I don't know if this is a problem" Erlan replied.

"Times?!" Alina still could not believe that her husband was not involved in this matter. Now Alina looked back at the crowd of Mothers who were still standing in front of her while smiling bitterly.

"May I ask? Why are you all suddenly so kind to me today? Haven't you guys hated me this whole time?" ask Alina.

"It's actually like this, Alina ...." The mothers immediately told Alina that Imelda had confessed all her evil deeds to all the villagers and cleared Alina's good name that had been tarnished by her actions.

"really that? Ja-so ... Imelda has already admitted everything to all the citizens here?!" pekik Alina who still did not expect that Imelda to do the decade.

Alina turned around then hugged Erlan's body while sobbing. He was really moved to hear the story of Imelda who was really desperate to dare to admit her mistake in front of the crowd.

"You hear that, Mommy? Imelda really has changed," said Alina in between her sobs.

"Yes, Honey. I heard that," Erlan replied.

After breaking his arms with Erlan, Alina now turned to face the Mothers.

"How, Alina? Are you willing to forgive all of our mistakes?" ask the mothers hesitantly.

Alina was silent while continuing to pay attention to them. As an ordinary human being, Alina still holds a sense of disappointment and annoyance in her small heart over the attitudes and behavior of the citizens.

"Alright, I forgive you all and I also want to apologize for all my mistakes. I realized, I'm just an ordinary human being who will not escape the name of a mistake and may ever make you upset" said Alina, try sincerely and open heart to forgive the mothers of Julid who has always insulted and slandered her at will.

The women also developed their smiles. One by one, they approached Alina and shook hands with the girl.

"Thank you, Alina. Because they are willing to forgive us. We've all been compact that we won't leave here before getting an apology from you. Now we realize that we have desecrated a completely innocent orphan girl. Again forgive us," said one of the Mothers with teary eyes.

"Yes, you're welcome, Mom. I'm sorry if I made a mistake with Mom. Whether it was on purpose, or not I intentionally," Alina said.

"Alina, I'm sorry!" the strangulation of one of the most beautiful women in the entire village. He became the last person to approach Alina at that time, after everyone had returned to their respective residences.

The woman cried softly while hugging Alina's body tightly. He really regretted what he had done to the girl.

"Yes, Mom. I've forgiven all of Mom's mistakes" Alina said, replying to the woman's embrace.

"Yes, God! Thank you very much, son. Do you know, almost every night I pray to God. I pray that you can come back to this village, I really want to meet you and apologize for all of your mistakes over the years," she cried again with tears on her cheeks.

"Yes, and God has granted your prayers, Mom. I've returned to this village and I've forgiven all of you for me."
