NOT PERPETRATORS
Last Chance
"Imania, Wife!" call him.
I'm still glued to the spot. Resisting feelings that are beginning to hurt again. I don't know how to. I used to know him so well. All this time, I recognized my gentle, loving husband. No awkwardness before.
Mas Bastian moved closer, hugging my body. But I kept avoiding him. I set my foot on the sofa. I'll listen carefully. About the detailed explanation of what he did. Bastian sat on the sofa. Right next to me.
"Stay away!"
Mas Bastian understood the disappointment that still lingered in my mind. He moved his body, a meter away from me.
"Darling, let me explain my mistake."
I'm staying quiet. Unmoved.
"I know you've been a very good wife to me all along. Being a great mother to my son. You're the woman who's done the job to the fullest."
I crossed both hands to my chest. With a disappointed face. I tried to listen to him carefully.
"And me. I almost failed in my duties as your priest. I almost tempted women. Fortunately, you quickly awakened me."
"Who's waking you up?" I finally spoke up.
He took a deep breath, then exhaled it. "If you do not know my plan immediately. Of course that bad thing happened."
"What plan?" I spoke without looking at his face. My mind is still upset.
Mas Bastian took a deep breath, then exhaled. "All right, I'm honest. I almost fell into the valley of sin. I seduced women. Fortunately God immediately prevented me, through you."
"Who is seduced and seduced?" I still have a sour face.
"He's the one who teased me."
"He who?" This time I looked at his face.
Bastian was silent for a moment. "She's just a woman who is not important anymore to discuss. I realized that I was wrong. I'm khilaf." sorry.
"He who?" sewot.
Mas Bastian was silent for a moment, then said, "He .. just .. someone who is no longer important. No need to remember his name."
"But it's important to me! I need to know what his name is!"
"Honey, come on .. I've admitted the mistake. And I'm so sorry. I'm not going to repeat it again. Please ... I'm sorry."
"Give me your phone!" I said as I put my hand towards him.
He took his cell phone and gave it to me. I want to check if there's any chat left with the woman. And it turns out there isn't. Mas Bastian said he had a conversation with him. He deleted the conversation with his contact number. It means he admits. He also promised not to repeat the mistake again.
"I promise, this is the last time I'm wrong! I promise!"
"I will obey all your wishes, if you will forgive me. Please ... I'm sorry ...." He moved his seat, approaching. Grabbing my palm. Grasping tightly.
I'm still quiet. I don't know if Bastian's being honest or not. But his facial expression looked serious. I think he really regretted his mistake.
"Mas, what's less than me?"
"Nothing!" quickly answer.
"No way, no!" I rebut while releasing my hand from his grasp.
"Really!"
"Tell me the truth. There is no perfect person in this world. I feel like you're covering something up for me."
Bastian grabbed my palm again. "Nothing, dear."
I looked at him sharply. "Why are you tempted by other women? Prettier? Younger? Or is it sexier?"
"Really, I just want to try it. I'm just curious. This is my most honest answer. Whether you want to believe it or not. However, I hope you will give me another chance. Once again! Please ...." Bastian came down, standing before me. Grabbing and grasping my fingers tightly.
I was thinking how to trust his confession. I don't know if he's lying, or if he's being honest. Disappointment is not easily treated. In fact, even with an apology. Suddenly I remembered Arka. Maybe I can't forgive him right now. However, I still tried to give him another chance. Last chance.
I took a deep breath, then exhaled it. "alright. I'll give you one more chance. Don't disappoint me again."
Bastian got up, hugged me. "Thank you, my dear wife. Thank you ...."
Clear threads that had been stuck earlier were broken. "I can't forgive you completely!" I said in his arms.
"You've given me a chance. That's enough! Sorry .. I hope you forgive me completely immediately."
I'm getting sobbing. My heart tries hard. Let me give you one last chance. For Arka!
In this kind of atmosphere, Arka suddenly walked towards us. We immediately released a hug.
"Papa's champ is awake apparently. Clever fellow? Look, Ma! The arka is completely independent. You can wake up without crying" he said proudly, then carried her.
The three of us hugged. How can I ruin Arka's happiness. And how could Bastian ruin both of our happiness. Let me give you a chance, one more time. If I renege on it. .. I might give up.
"Today I'm going to take a leave of absence. We're gonna go have fun!" sengas excited.
"Horry? We're walking!" said Arka happily.
