Mama Widya wants to hold Zean's birthday event with great fanfare. Therefore, he invited all his friends and family to come celebrate the birthday of his first grandchild. Spacious living room decorated with colorful balloons and Zeano's favorite Iron man characters.
This is the first time the Rayyansyah residence has returned lively by cheerfulness after the death of Papa Adrian people come with gifts and are very well entertained. They are happy that Zavian has finally returned home with his beautiful daughter.
“ So , how was your life during in America ?” tanya Om Farhan was also present.
“ Fine, Om,” replied Zavian.
The work is smooth, the finances are stable, the child and wife are healthy. There are no significant obstacles that Zavian met while living in one of the states in America. Only the conflict with Claire that had made him face to face with the law, but everything was also finished well.
It's just that there's one thing Zavian can't do. As far as he goes, no matter how good his life is, there is still a sense of longing for his family. Because Zavian left with a wound and could not escape the shadows of Mama Widya and Fabian. The two men were close relatives with whom he had blood ties.
For that reason too, Zavian is here at the moment. He went back to his family, where he came from.
“ So, you want to go back to America or will stay here ?” ask Aunt Tania.
“ See later, Tan,” replied Zavian. Until now Zavian has not decided anything. Whether to settle here or go back away to a country of people, he was still confused.
“ Did you accidentally wait for Fabian to die first ?” sambar Aunt Tania again.
“ Aunt wishes Fabian a quick death, yes ?” ask Zavian while staring at the woman beside Om Farhan.” Still a grudge, Tan.”
“ Just wait time ,’kan ? He is also dying, ” replied Aunt Tania casually.
Zavian was a bit annoyed to hear it, but he had to calm down and not let his emotions be provoked so easily.
“ Death cannot be predicted when it comes, Tan. It could be Fabian who is now dying even long life. We who look healthy even die first. His name is also the secret of God,” said Zavian.
Aunt Tania frowned faintly hearing Zavian's answer but she would certainly not be satisfied if she had to keep quiet. Silence and giving up is not his style. So, he keeps talking.
“ The bad guy must receive the appropriate reward, anyway. Let him realize that his behavior has been sickening,” said Aunt Tania quipped Fabian.
“ Who knows the reward given by God before dying it makes him aware of his mistake and repent. It feels like a bad person who dies after repenting is much better than a person who does not realize his mistake,” said Zavian.
Aunt Tania seemed annoyed that her words were always broken by Zavian. His neck strained with increasingly turbid facial water.
“ If not for Fabian, Rayyansyah company would be fine now. I will not forget how to destroy the labor built by my father ”, said Aunt Tania again.
“ Tania, stop. Do not bring up problems when we are happy,” reprimanded Om Farhan.
Aunt Tania actually glared at her husband and said ketus.” Until I will remember the behavior of the Fabian who destroyed the company. I won't be sincere, Mas.”
“ I understand, but don't discuss it now. Zavian is happy to celebrate his son's birthday and we must not spoil the atmosphere,” explained Om Farhan.
“ Okay , I won't discuss it now because you asked for it. But don't expect me to forgive Fabian so easily. Instead, I hope he dies soon and goes to hell !” fun Aunt Tania.
After saying so, the woman immediately passed with a face that was made back to normal. Meanwhile Zavian hardened his jaw to hold back the emotion of hearing Aunt Tania's words.
Fabian is guilty and his behavior used to cause hatred, Zavian admitted that. But praying for Fabian to die soon to fall to hell is truly a cruel remark.
“ Sorry,” said Om Farhan who was not happy to see the change in facial appearance Zavian.” You know for yourself what your attitude is.”
“ Tell Aunt that she should only behave so harshly in front of me. Never say the same to your mom. I can hold back my emotions but Mama won't necessarily act the same way I do. Mama is already too tired in dealing with all this, so don't hurt her with such remarks,” explains Zavian.
“ Yes, later Om will convey to Tantemu,” said Om Farhan with a face increasingly looks guilty.
Zavian only raised his drink for a moment, then walked in the other direction. He greeted guests and tried to forget his emotions that had been most beautiful by the words of Aunt Tania.
Meanwhile on the second floor, Fabian sat leaning back while staring at the excitement below. He did not want to join his family as he was aware of his current state. But Fabian remains happy for the celebration this time.
Fabian himself did not stop smiling seeing that happiness. Especially when he witnessed the funny behavior of Zeano who played with friends his age. Even the boy jumped up and down in an IronMan costume but ended up falling down. Instead of crying, Zean laughed out loud and his laughter was followed by the other children.
“ Really look like Zavian small time,” Fabian murmured.
While enjoying the excitement down there, Fabian heard footsteps approaching and he turned his head towards the stairs. It turns out that there was Nayara holding Zianna. Behind him walked a nanny. The child in her carriage looked fussy and whining, so Nayara was busy calming her daughter down without turning her head towards Fabian.
Not long after, Nayara came out of her son's room and was about to head for the stairs. But his steps came to a halt as Fabian called out to him.
“ Nay, can we talk to you for a minute?” ask Fabian.
With a doubtful step, Nayara walked over, then stopped at a distance of about three steps from Fabian. He stared at the man who had been her husband with eyes made as flat as possible. He did not want to offend Fabian with his pitiful gaze.
“ Looks like my age will not be long, you definitely know that,” Fabian said.
“ Death is not something that can be predicted,” Nayara said slowly. He stood sideways and held the balcony barrier.
“ That's why I want to apologize to you, Nay. Who knows after we speak this angel of death instantly uprooted my life. You see,’kan death can not be predicted,” said Fabian .
Nayara laughed discordantly and looked down where the excitement of the son's birthday party was still continuing.
“ Sorry for having betrayed you in the past,” said Fabian slowly.” It's not that I don't want to move on from you, but it feels like that regret doesn't want to get away from me.”
“ I have forgiven you and now it is your turn to forgive yourself,” Nayara said quickly. He looked at the man earnestly.” I'm happy with my life now.”
“ It would probably be outrageous if I told you this.”
“ Say what ?”
“ About my feelings that until now still love you, Nay,” Fabian said with a sad look.
Four years feels like just yesterday. That long period of time rolled and trimmed meaninglessly.
Fabian's fingers suddenly trembled. His chest suddenly ached by his feelings that lingered on a memory where his mistake first began.
“ Do not say something that will only hurt yourself.” Nayara shook her head, as if confirming that there was no longer room for Fabian to return. All those possibilities were sealed and if Fabian forced himself, then he would only accept the pain.
“ There's nothing wrong with my feelings, Nay. This feeling is mine. I will die carrying all these feelings and you will not be disturbed at all. You live your life well enough. Love Zavian who has loved you for a long time. He's better than me and your happiness is assured with him. Now I just need to apologize for my entire trail of wrongdoing against you,” Fabian said.
“ I'm sorry too,” said Nayara slowly. Until now he will never forget that he also ever avenged Fabian's betrayal with the same sin.
“ I already know about the incident you missed with Zavian on that night,” said Fabian who suddenly made Nayara gasp in shock.
“ How can you know ?” ask Nayara.
“ Zavian told me,” replied Fabian. He looked at both of Nayara's eyes with a faint smile . No anger in his eyes.” And I forgive you both.”
Nayara let out a sigh of relief. Among her happiness with Zavian, Nayara must confess that the sin continues to plague her mind. Not surprisingly, it turns out Zavian also thought the same thing and first revealed it to Fabian.
“ Thank you for forgiving me,” Nayara said.
Fabian nodded and Nayara said goodbye to go back down. He walked away with Fabian who kept staring at him until he disappeared.
“ At least one of us lives happily,” Fabian said later.
