Reaching Hope
Chapter 81 Cindy's Answer

Days passed, their lives seemed calm without Sandra in the office.The new manager who replaced Sandra was a good man like Andre. But he is no longer young about 45 years old. He is kind to all his employees.

Today Ibu Bima contacted Clara, it turns out that today is exactly one month from their last meeting. This means Cindy will give you the answer today.

"Son Clara, can we visit your place today? isn't today exactly a month after our last meeting?" ask Mother Bima.

"Oh really mom, try later I ask brother first yes. After that I just called Mom back," replied Clara.

"Oh yes, I'm waiting. Assalamualaikum," said Bima's mother.

"Yes, Mom. Salam waalaikum" replied Clara.

After closing the call Clara immediately told Cindy who was busy working on the report.

"Sister, do you remember what day this is?" ask Clara.

"Of course, it's Wednesday" Cindy replied.

"Sister, just kidding. I seriously asked you" said Clara anxiously.

"What's my wrong answer Clara?" he immediately searched the calendar on his computer.

"True, it's Wednesday" Cindy said.

"Yes, it's true, but that's not what it means. It turned out that brother forgot, today was exactly a month after meeting with the Bima family. Just now her mother called she said she wanted to come to hear her brother's answer" explained Clara.

"Correct? it turns out that time passed quickly, yes, I almost forgot about the problem" said Cindy.

"Are you not ready to answer?" ask Clara.

"Whether I'm not ready I have to answer, pity also if I give them false hope" Cindy replied.

"Will Brother accept it?" tanyakanya.

"Later you'll hear it, tell them to come tonight" Cindy replied.

"Alright, please Brother really think about this decision. This concerns the life of Brother in the future so it must be thought about seriously," said Clara.

"Yes, I know," Cindy replies and continues her work.

Clara immediately sms to Bima's mother's number.

[Mom, said brother please come later tonight.]

Tring...

not waiting for a long time, Bima's mother immediately replied to Clara's text.

[Good son Clara, thank you. You'll all be there tonight.]

After the office they stopped by the bakery to buy some cakes and bread.

"Sister, how much to buy, will run out of date if not eaten," said Clara.

"Later tonight we have a guest, Clara. Our cake stock was up in the apartment so I bought a little" Cindy replied.

"Oh yeah, I forgot, hehehe," said Clara.

After cleaning themselves they relax and chat in the tv room.

"Clara, if Juan's not busy tell him to come here. He's the father's replacement here, even though he's my sister-in-law's candidate but he's the only man closest to us right now" Cindy said.

Cindy just nodded, saying yes. Clara immediately snatched her phone to contact her lover.

"Assalamualaikum, dear," he said.

"Waalaikum hail, why darling, miss?" juan asked Clara.

"If the kangen is certain, but kangen wants nyubit, hehehe," continued Clara.

"Sick dong, what are you doing?" tanyakanya.

"Just relax this. Oh yes dear, if you are not busy please come here now huh. Soon the Bima family will come to know the answer from brother, please help you who are the substitute for our parents here yes," replied Clara.

"Oh well, I'm getting ready right now. Assalamualaikum" said Juan.

"Yes, hail waalaikum" replied Clara.

About 15 minutes later Juan arrived. Cindy still did not tell them the answer, this made them very curious. But they agreed they would respect Cindy's decision.

A few minutes later the Bima family also came. It looks like Bima did treatment with a wound on her face because the scar is now invisible, but her legs are still a little limp although not so obvious. He looks as handsome again as before. Their families looked neatly dressed as if they were going to attend a formal event. Juan immediately opened the meeting.

"Thank you Bima and family have come, honestly I do not know what Cindy's answer to date, but whatever the decision please we can all appreciate it, not until after there is a sense of not accepting," said Juan.

Actually Juan thought Cindy would definitely reject Bima, so he spoke like that.

"Signify me and my family will accept Cindy's decision freely," Bima replied, he looked at Cindy.

"Alhamdulillah then. Please Di eat the cake first to be more relaxed," said Juan please.

"Yes, Son. Thank you, the cake is delicious," praise Bima's mother to taste the cake.

After the atmosphere relaxed again they continued the conversation earlier.

"Maybe Bima wants to say something before Cindy makes a decision" Juan said.

"Oh yeah Clara, try calling your parents to hear Cindy's decision. No matter how much this concerns the life of his son, they must be involved" Juan added.

Clara immediately called her parents and told them how they were doing. They are moved because they still remember their parents even though they have given all the decisions in the hands of their children.

Bima started to speak conveying her heart.

"I know it's a tough decision for you. I am truly sorry for my actions. I'm just afraid of losing you, I love you so much that it's a natural way to have you completely. My heart aches to see you still remember Andre even though your body is with me" said Bima.

"I finally realized that love doesn't have to have even though I really hope to be with you. I realized that love could never hurt. I'm sorry, I'll accept your decision whatever it is" he added.

Bima's eyes reddened as she said it, her parents were deeply moved to hear her son's sincere words. Cindy was unable to hold back her tears, immediately flashed a good memory first when they were together.

"Son Cindy, say your decision, we are ready to hear it" said Bima's mother.

Cindy's tears were flowing more and more making everyone confused what to do. Clara embraces Cindy for encouragement and strength.

"Cry, Brother. Take out the pain in your heart to be relieved. We'll wait" said Clara.

After a while Cindy began to feel calm, after crying she felt very relieved.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you for remembering your ex, but honestly it wasn't easy for me. So even when you left it was not easy for me to open my heart again. I'm so disappointed in you, I even hated you. But seeing you apologize sincerely I was deeply moved. After I thought this wasn't your fault, I helped make you do it. Once we're together, don't ever hurt me again" Cindy said.

"What does it mean that you're taking me back?" ask Bima.
