Not Just Married
(End) Peace with the past
Hana stared at the still wet mound of earth in front of her with a blank look. Already an hour ago he was in the resting house of his last Papa without saying a word. Hana preferred to be quiet and reveal her current heart through the look in her eyes.
"Hana.." a gentle pat on her shoulder made Hana look back.
"Mama.." reply Hana.
Mama Ritan smiled then crouched down next to Hana. "Mama's happy because you've started to learn peace with our past." Mama Rita said as she rubbed Hana's hair.
Hana just kept quiet without replying to Mama Rita. It had been a week since Papa Rauf was buried and only now would he open his heart to see his Papa's final resting place after a long argument with Dika.
"Mama's been a while?" Hana asked after a long silence.
"Mama just arrived. After hearing you were here, Mama decided to follow you here." Definitely Mama Rita.
"Why can Mama so easily forgive Papa after what Papa has done to Mama all this time?" Hana asked with an intense look at Mama Rita.
"Learning to be at peace with the past and recapitulating what is already the path of our destiny. It's hard, but Mama always tries to do it." Reply Mama Rita.
Hana gave her heavy breath. "Does Mama still want to be here?" Ask Hana.
Mama Rita nodded. "Hana... Mama hopes you can learn to make peace with our past. Forgive Papa and let Papa rest in peace without carrying the burden of your forgiveness." Tour Mama Rita.
Mama Rita smiled. "Anyway Papa is your real father. He once gave you his full affection. When you were a kid he used to take his busy time just to watch you learn to walk with Mama. Despite the pain that Papa has inflicted, Papa Rauf is still the father responsible for you." Mama Rita said at length.
Hana turned her face towards the tomb with her own eyes. He only found out last night that Papa Rauf had not fully relinquished his responsibilities to him. Every month Papa Rauf still sends money to Mama Rita for their lives after her divorce and Mama Rita is legal. Even before his death, Papa Rauf had prepared his inheritance for Hana, which was quite large and even exceeded the legacy for his new wife and stepson at this time.
The tears that Hana had been holding back from earlier finally fell as well. Next to Hana's hand outstretched holding the ground that felt still wet held by her. "Fuck off. leave quietly. Hana has forgiven Papa." Hana said softly.
Mama Rita was crying to hear it. The smile on her face also rose to see Hana who was willing to learn to forgive Papa Rauf.
"Thank you for the love Papa so sincere Papa gave since Hana was a child. Although after that day Hana had to lose Papa's affection, but Hana still remembered clearly and felt every affection that Papa gave to Hana." Hana said later.
"Hana..." Mama Rita carries Hana's body into her arms. The mother and son cried in silence for a long time.
"Mama... Hana. Let's go home." Take Dika who is now standing behind the bodies of Mama Rita and Hana while covering them.
