The following days, as usual, Luna teru took care of Ariel who still had no progress at all. He still likes to be pensive and silent a thousand words, his lips were locked tightly, so Ariel even refused to let out words.
Luna continued to strive to care for him and pray for him every time he finished praying.
As for Noah at this time, he tried to meet Ardi, Ariel's father.
Noah hopes that Ardi will meet Ariel and forgive Ariel's mistake. Who knows, with the arrival of Ardi, Ariel can recover and can live a normal life
"Om, please Om, please meet Ariel. Poor him, Om. He's been sick for a long time, and now he's getting worse. He just shut up, didn't want to talk. His gaze was always empty and was essentially like a body without life. I can't even look at him like that" asked Noah, even shedding tears.
Ardi, Ariel's father is silent, unresponsive.
"I beg you, meet Ariel, even if it's only a moment. He is his son Om. The flesh of Om's own blood. He's been tormented with all the problems, he's already regretted it, Om. Give him a chance to correct his mistakes, give him a chance, to atone for all the sins he has ever committed." said Noah, but Ardi who seemed to have been very disappointed, just silently listened.
"I'm honestly scared, Om. I'm afraid, if Ariel would do something like Aunt Ila did. I'm afraid Ariel will choose a shortcut to end it all. I'm afraid, if Ariel is not strong to win such a heavy burden. I'm also afraid that Ariel will go crazy" Noah said, expressing his heart.
"Honestly, I'm confused as to what else to do. I've brought in psychologists and psychiatrists, but it's not working. Ariel refused and showed no response. Currently, Ariel is being accompanied by Luna. Well, these past few months, Luna had been keeping her company. But sayanngya, it also did not make Ariel return to her world. He still likes to be pensive and as if he is busy with his own world, his mind is empty." he said once again, telling everything.
"The Luna Village is also eight months old. In a month, she'll give birth. It's just that I don't know her gender yet because Luna herself doesn't want to know either. But the baby is very good and healthy. In a moment, Om Ardi will be a Grandpa and grandson that Om Ardi will later on" he explained. But Om Ardi, still silent.
Noah does not want to give up, he knows it is not easy for Om Ardi to accept Ariel and forgive Ariel's mistakes that have caused Om Ardi to lose his wife.
"I hope, Om wants to see Ariel even if it's only once and only for a moment. Now Ariel's body was even very thin. Maybe he only weighs thirty pounds or maybe less than that. When I held it, I didn't even feel heavy at all. His body is very, very thin, like bones and skin only. Moreover, since he realized, Ariel did not even want to talk and did not want to eat. Fortunately there was an infusion that made Ariel survive until this second. But if it continues to let, maybe Ariel can also die with a state that continues like that. I don't want to lose Ariel. Om lost Aunt Ila, Om won't you, lose the one Om loves for the second time?" tanyakanya.
"If he can get my wife back, then Om will see him." After being silent, ARdi began to talk.
"Where could Ariel turn on someone who's clearly dead, Om. It won't do" replied Noah.
"If he can't, then Om can't see him either."
"Om, don't be stubborn, why is everyone blaming Ariel, but he's not the only one here?"
"Who would be wrong if it wasn't him? It was obvious he was cheating," he said with an angry look.
"But ..." Noah didn't finish talking, Ardi cut him off immediately.
"You know, when Luna asked Om, Auntie and our extended family to come to the village. Om and Aunt are very happy, in addition to wanting to attend Luna's birthday, Om and Auntie sure, Luna would want to give a surprise to everyone. Om and Aunt are so very enthusiastic, even during the trip, Om and Aunt can not wait to get to Luna village and want to hear directly, he said, Luna shared her happiness in front of many people." she said, NOah silently listened.
"But unfortunately, the surprise even became a disaster, for Om and Auntie. It's not just the shame that Om and Auntie feel. But we were also disappointed and angry. Angry because Ariel could cheat on Luna, our favorite daughter-in-law who Om already considers like his own biological daughter. Disappointed because LUna chose to announce the disgrace of her family in front of many people, in public. Om shy, embarrassed by the big family that Om has taken far from Jakarta to Jember. They came, not warmly welcomed, but they were all humiliated. Andai om know, it will be like that, maybe Om just come alone with your aunt. There's no need to bring a big family." the Jeda.
"Om was also ashamed of the luna's extended family, even Luna's parents' neighbors who knew nothing, also saw the disgrace. Everything came just to see the joke Luna was putting out. You know, Om's face is like being dumped in shit by both of them. Shame, very shy. Even the Om family also felt disappointed because it should not be, a family disgrace made a game like this. Those who had originally come full of happiness and cheerful faces, yet they went home with a look of shame."
"With that alone, it feels Om and Aunt can not stand to linger there. We chose to go home with a heart that harbored such deep disappointment as well as tremendous anger. All the way, we just kept quiet."
"Until home, Om thinks the problem is over. But no, Grandpa and Grandma you came, slapped Om and Auntie. They say Om and Aunty are not good parents. They keep saying things that are so painful. Not only them, but also the whole family, joined us, insulted us, and chided us. Om and Aunt just kept quiet, because we were wrong. Wrong because of Om, it might be less educating Ariel to be such a bang-sat guy. I don't know when Ariel changed. Since Om and Aunt Ariel love Luna so much, she always praises Luna in the presence of Om and Aunt. He even became a possessive husband because of his love for Luna. Ariel also often talks about Luna if Om and Aunt Nelfon to ask her news. She always said Luna was a very good wife, patient, beautiful, sholehah and smart to serve her husband. Ariel even said a few times, if he's very lucky to have and marry Luna."
"Pernah Om and Aunt came to his house and brought his male cousin. Ariel's face looks very angry, Om you know, Ariel is a jealous person. Then how could it be, that extremely pure Ariel suddenly betrayed him. She did not even let Luna out alone and did not accept male guests because she did not want to, Luna's beauty was seen by another man. To him, Luna was his. That's what I know. So Om and Auntie really love Luna, because we know, Luna is the source of Ariel's happiness. He is half his heart, his soul mate. Even Ariel did not allow Luna to stay here, she was like locking Luna in her house. Om and Aunt can only understand it, because Om also used to do the same thing when he was young, fortunately the Auntie, patient and he understood that Om loved him very much so he understood the nature of Om who was also bucin. Just like Ariel who's so sorry for his wife."
"Om also heard, Ariel did not even want to be approached by women out there, she even refused whenever anyone approached her. Ariel is like Om. If you already love one person, it is difficult to turn away from another woman. But Om and Aunt don't know, why is everything like this?"
"Om and Aunt also do not see any strangeness in their relationship, Luna as usual, very enthusiastic about welcoming the arrival of Om and Aunt. Luna also asked Om and Aunt to stay overnight. And we agreed to it."
"Only, at that time, while chatting, Ariel seemed riled up like she felt guilty when Om discussed a betrayal. But at that time, Om did not know, if Ariel had betrayed. So, Om didn't think too much in that direction."
"At that time, Luna suddenly said she wanted to celebrate Luna's birthday in her village, saa Auntie nanya, why celebrate there. Luna just said because she rarely came home and all of you want to do alms there. Hearing that, TAnte was very enthusiastic, and promised to bring his entire extended family to enliven his birthday."
"Morning of the day, after the ashar prayer. Luna took us to the Mall, Luna bought us a lot of stuff, she seemed to deliberately want to spend Ariel's money. When his aunt, no papa, bought a lot of stuff. Luna replied, no papa, Ariel had a lot of money, a lot of money, until the money was scattering to others. At that time, Om felt this was unnatural, but Om and Aunt tried to stay silent because Luna did not say anything."
"When we ate at Ariel's restaurant, it was pretty quiet. When Papa asked why, Luna said the restaurant might be hot because it was made a place of worship. Again Om thought more and more strange, Luna seemed to want to say if Ariel cheating. But Om can't be rash. There, Ariel and Luna argue. But when Auntie asked what was going on, they said there was nothing. It's always like that he replied, they seem to cover their problems from us."
"Then Om and Aunt are known as Laras, who is Luna's best friend. But Ariel confessed to all employees there, that Laras was his brother."
"At that time, suddenly Luna also invited all employees to come to Luna's birthday event in the village."
"Om doesn't understand Luna's way of thinking. But after returning from the resto, Om only talked to Ariel alone, but he kekeh said if he could not hurt Luna because he loved Luna very much. Om can't do anything, because no one wants to confess. However, Om poses a harsh threat. Om could not ask directly to Luna, so Om is more comfortable talking to Ariel, as his own son Om. And give him a warning."
"The next day, when ARiel went somewhere. Then Auntie asked Luna to talk and there, Luna was honest if she was pregnant. I don't know what they're talking about, because Auntie just said that Luna is pregnant."
"After that afternoon, we went home. Luna still didn't want to tell me about her little family's problems, and as parents, we couldn't interfere. You know, many daughters-in-law feel upset if their in-laws interfere too much. Aunty and Om don't want to be like that, making Luna uncomfortable if Om and Auntie over-regulate them. Even in religion, it is also not permissible for parents or in-laws to interfere in their children's households, unless the child comes to them and asks for a solution."
"It should have been that time, Luna told us the same story, if Luna told me. Om will definitely beat Ariel all out even if necessary, om will make Ariel rest at the feet of Luna. Even om himself who will help Luna to separate with Ariel, if that's what Luna wants. Om and Aunt will defend Luna especially Luna pregnant with our granddaughter. But unfortunately, Luna chose silence and it turns out that Luna already has her own plans for revenge."
"Maybe Luna thought, she just wanted to teach them a lesson, or to tell everyone the behavior of her husband and best friend. But unfortunately, Luna did not think about the impact of what she was doing."
"And this new one, Om you know. If it turns out that Luna was the one who forced Ariel to accept the presence of her best friend into their household. I don't know what was in Luna's mind at that time, why she could think to let her best friend and husband unite. Whereas in the past when he was young even until Aunt died, TAnte never allowed Om both with other women, even though it was Om's own female cousin. Even with my brother-in-law. Even at work, Auntie will come at lunchtime and make sure Om is not close to other women. Not infrequently, Aunty also checks Om's cellphone, afraid that Om will chatan with other women. And Om did the same. Even worse."
"Somehow Luna meant, allowing her closest friend to continue to depend on Ariel. While he understood religion, even in one household, allowing brother-in-law to stay in line with them, it was also not allowed because it was not a mahram, let alone just a friend, who was an outsider."
"But whatever it is, women are never wrong. So, Om can only blame Ariel, why can't he hold it back and even do it over and over again. That's what Om makes heartache. Ahkan Omm herself saw how they were like a love drunk. But Ariel wouldn't be like that either, for example Luna didn't bring Laras into their household."
"Oh, Om confused."
After that, Ardi was silent. After expressing his feelings to Noah. The feeling he felt alone.
"Actually, I'm also confused Om. Who is wrong. Ariel is wrong to have cheated, but she also cannot cheat if Luna does not continue to bring her husband closer to her best friend. It was Luna who created the opportunity and brought them closer indirectly. Laras, who is Luna's best friend is also wrong. Already know Ariel, the husband of people, but still teasing him, maybe Laras thought, LUna would definitely forgive him and accept him as a second wife, considering all this time, Luna was good to him and granted whatever she wanted. But unfortunately, Laras's guess is wrong because in fact, Luna was even very angry when she knew they were in a relationship and had even done more."
"But whoever was wrong, in essence, Ariel already regretted her actions. He has got his karma. Her good name is ruined, her life is ruined, she also loses her mother forever, and she can't even see her mother's face for the last time. And now, let's get together, help Ariel recover. He's suffering a lot, Om. If you know for yourself, Ariel is actually a very good person. It's just that, the arrival of Laras in his life, coercion from his wife makes Ariel wrong way and eventually even like this. Ariel is not one hundred percent wrong. I'm not defending Ariel, not at all. But why should he bear it all, as if a hundred percent was his fault."
"Om who educated Ariel from childhood to adulthood. You know better how his character is. He's not a be-jat guy, Om. Have you ever been at school or even while in college, Ariel mainin chick. No, right? If he is a be-jat, maybe from a long time ago, he has courted many women with his good looks and wealth. In fact, he did not use what he had, just to attract the attention of other women. Even when married, and he had a lot of money, he also did not want to be complacent with the beauty or temptation of other women. But unfortunately, Luna seems to want to test her love, she presents other women in their household and tries to bring them closer. Ariel is not an angel, she resists temptation, in the end she will fall if she continues to get seduction and seduction from Laras. Once, twice, three times, maybe Ariel can avoid, but what if almost every day continues to be tempted, which man can withstand it? So, I hope, Om doesn't keep blaming Ariel. It's been enough for him to suffer all this time, please, forgive Ariel even if it's just a little. Meet him and give him the spirit to get well soon and get back to normal life. Om would definitely cry if he saw Ariel directly. There was no Ariel with her burly body, she was even like a skull. It's just that there's still life attached, so he can still breathe."
Noah continued to plead, making ARdi finally nod.
"Well, tomorrow Om will be there."
"Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. You know, Ariel's been treated where?" tanyanya and Ardi nodded their heads.
After hours of persuading him, Noah finally came home with his cheerful face. He hopes that what he is doing right now will pay off.
