M79 🥀 : ALREADY FORGIVEN, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
“Aibi?”
The middle-aged woman who was sitting on the chair near the patient's bed was jacking up, staring towards the source of the voice with a questioning look.
“How can aunt get here?” ask the young woman who is still required bed rest.
“There's someone who's picked up aunty and husband in the village. Said he told Mr. Darren to accompany neng Ella.”
“So, yes?”
The middle-aged woman who had come all the way from the village nodded. She and her husband were indeed picked up by two interlocutor husbands. When he heard the news if the young woman he had treated like his own daughter had a miscarriage, bi Mimin immediately joined tampa many questions. After all, people in the village have also mostly heard the scandal of their village flowers which turned out to be a mistress.
“Did aunt see Ella's husband when Ella was still unconscious?”
The middle-aged woman shook her head. “Then aunty comes, there is only Gara son who keeps watch.”
Estrella—the young woman smiled bitterly hearing that. She did not see the man who was still her husband since yesterday. Ever since that guy said he was going to work. Fortunately, when she opened her eyes, she found people she missed so much. Who else if not bi Mimin and her husband. Their arrival had made Ella's emotions more stable, as they could be where Ella was complaining.
Ella could freely pour out all the feelings she felt to them. Especially about her sadness after the miscarriage. Bi Mimin and her husband patiently accompanied, listened and gave the young woman input. However, they love Ella, because they think of her as their own daughter. They are therefore devastated after learning that their innocent Ella was tricked by the man she loved. Instead of being the only one, it turns out Ella was instead made a mistress.
Ella was actually very much waiting for Darren's presence. However, the man who is still her husband status did not come.
A day, two days, three days, up to a week he went through without the presence of the husband. Ella who is still in the recovery stage had asked to be reunited with Darren, but the desire was rejected outright by Damian. Until Ella is allowed to go home even once, Darren who incidentally wants her to meet never appear.
“Ella wants to meet mas Darren, why do you keep getting in the way?” ask Ella on one occasion. He insisted on meeting Darren because he wanted to get certainty.
The man left as he slumped because he lost his baby. Ella doesn't even know where to eat her baby. Only Darren knows. But the man was hard to find. Even the people the man hired were also effectively obstructing.
“Mr Darren entrust this to me. He ordered to give it after your condition is more stable.”
“What is this?” confused Ella while taking the brown file that was thrust her husband's right hand.
Ella quickly opened the file. Removing the contents—a butih paper spiked with black ink— so that he can see and read. In the next second, the young woman's body sculpted violently when she saw one corner of the paper with a signature on behalf of Darren Aryasatya Xander.
“This what does it mean?” tanyanya daze.
“Divorce letter,” replied Damian lightly. “Mr Darren has decided to divorce with you.”
“Cannot be. Mas Darren can't be this bad as Ella!” ella refused. With the emotion of the paper he was torn into pieces.
“Sobek only. Anyway I have prepared some sheets for anticipation,” said Damian flatly. “You can not avoid, because this divorce has been planned since the beginning.”
“Means?”
“Divorce is already the end for your relationship and Mr. Darren. Now you better sign the letter, and go back to your hometown. All your needs I have prepared.”
“No. Ella doesn't want to part.”
Damian frowned hearing that. “You mean? I've been kind enough to think about your needs after you sign the letter. You will not get anything if you choose to insist on maintaining marriage with Mr. Darren.”
“Ella needs nothing. Ella need mas Darren—“
“But lord Darren doesn't need you,” cut Damian. He then re-opens the voice, “that lord Darren needs is mistress Ev and her flesh and blood. You are no longer a need of Mr. Darren.”
Ella shook her head quickly. “Mas Darren needs Ella. Ella knows that. Ella knows because Darren always praises Ella—“
“Testing doesn't mean loving,” cut Damian again. “Mr Darren does need you when he does not get satisfaction from the woman he loves.”
“….”
“Are you not aware yet?” press Damian. “You are only an intermediary. The impingement of an dissatisfaction.”
Damian sighed heavily after saying so. Slowly the husband of Dewita loosened the tie that felt suffocating. Talking to that one young lady really takes extra patience.
“Until when will you be like this? your attitude like this has made many people difficult.”
“-you mean?” shrivelled Ella with a choked voice.
“Mr Darren is not unwilling to meet you, but because he intends to meet you who had to go back to surgery that day, Mr. Darren had a great accident that resulted in him losing consciousness until this moment.”
“APA?!” Screech Ella restrained. Her tears involuntarily sprang upon hearing the information.
“Mr Darren was sentenced to a coma for an indefinable time,” Damian added. At first he did not want to tell a story, but he chose to be honest so that his interlocutors understand the condition of their relationship is increasingly toxic.
“Mr Darren and you are no longer in a healthy relationship, because from the beginning of your relationship has been wrong. Are you still unaware of the rebuke He has given?”
“….”
“Both you or Mr Darren God warned you, right? Your relationship is wrong. Unhealthy. Such a relationship will only bring disaster. Now think about what the misfortunes have been going on lately? if accumulated, all of it is not worth the destruction caused by your unhealthy relationship.”
Damian sighed again. For a long time he's his own emotions if it continues this way. It has also lost its image that is irritated to speak because it must explain point A to point Z so that the mistress of the superior understands.
“Are you not tired?” Damian asked as he looked at the other person with eyes. “Tired of maintaining a relationship that is not intact?”
“Ella.
“Maybe you are not. But, it's different with Mr. Darren. She's exhausted. Due to one of his fatal mistakes, he was banished by his own family. Losing a career, losing a loved one, even almost losing the trust of the son.”
Ella's crying was hearing it. Ella cried at the insistence of the various flavors that surrounded her chest. Pain, tightness, sadness, anger, and hate. It's all lodged in the chest. Ella's not stupid. He knows where this conversation ends.
“I give two days to think.” Damian reopens the sound. “For a while you will stay somewhere else with your adoptive parents. Elgara will take you there.”
Ella could no longer lift her head. My face moistened by tears was bowed ever deeper. Both of his hands were busy squeezing the tip of the skirt from the canal he was using.
Ruckus.
Divorcement.
Attempted manslaughter.
Miscarrying.
Later, accident.
Ever since Ella set foot in this city, that series of events accompanied her journey of staying here. As if it was endless, God actually gave a continuous rebuke. He was also increasingly plagued with guilt when contemplating the series of events that turned out to be triggered by his presence.
Therefore, during her stay at home more like ‘exile’, Ella spent more time crying and daydreaming.
Bi Mimin was worried about making it. Elgara who existed some time back often seen around Ella also can not hide the anxiety.
However, in this way Damian hopes Ella can consider his remarks. Elgara also appreciated the right-hand efforts of his superiors. Elgara had no power to interfere any further, being aware of the position. After all, he did not want to make people misunderstand the pity he showed.

“I've forgiven you.”
One sentence spoken in an emotionless tone managed to make his interlocutor jack up.
“Mbak Ev already forgive all Ella's mistakes?”
“Hm. Now you better stand up,” replied the owner of the name. He willingly helped his interlocutor to stand up, and directed him to sit in the waiting chair.
“I've forgiven you. But, not to forget that mistake,” added Ev. “Again, all that has passed. I have forgiven you. It's just that to forget all the fatal mistakes Darren made with you is hard. The memory will always be there, imprinted in the heart.”
Ella returned to shed tears. She felt she was the worst woman to have broken a marriage bond. After being given time to think, Ella finally agreed to part ways.
Damian's right, his relationship with Darren is not healthy. Ella was tired of getting pressure. It is free to survive as hard as possible if the presence is no longer needed. Especially now that she is just a woman who already has a bad image in the eyes of the community. Plus she is no longer perfect as a woman, because being convicted would be difficult to get offspring.
“I'm also sincere if Darren is happy with you. Anyway I have also found someone who can make me and my son happy.”
“We agree to divorce, mbak.” Ella spoke in a raucous voice. Making Ev stunned for a while in shock.
“Ella just realized that all this time Ella was selfish. Ella wants to win by herself. Unknowingly Ella has made someone Ella loves hurt.”
Ev frowned hearing that. “You love Darren?”
Ella hesitated. “What's wrong if Ella loves a man as perfect as Darren?”
Ev shook his head while smiling little. “Darren is easily loved by the opposite sex.”
“Includes mbak Ev?” asked Ella, without hesitation.
Ev smiled at hearing that. “Then. Before I throw away that feeling.”
“Because Ella?” lirih Ella's.
“Not,” says Ev. “Maybe because of our improper relationship foundation from the beginning.”
“Sorry mbak,” Ella said once again. “If only Ella did not meet mas Darren at that time, surely at this time mbak Ev is still a wife mas Darren.”
“For what now? After all, all the destiny outlined by God has happened.” Ev shifted his gaze in any direction. “This is our destiny. Darren and I weren't meant to be together forever. And you, have been destined by God to be a separator among us.”
Ella was crying more and more. The young woman's breath was even cut off because her chest was covered in tightness. It was as if all of Ev's words were poison that had managed to knock out his heart slowly.
“Sorry, mbak Ev. Excuse me. Sorry Ella. Ella is wrong, Ella is evil.”
The tub has been programmed automatically, his tiny lips again say sorry. Making Ev who was sitting next to him feel pity. Ella's not entirely guilty here. Because the affair occurred because of the contribution of 2 parties. Ella doesn't know about Darren's status at first.
All of that must have been part of the destiny that God outlined. Ev can't deny that.
Ev also knows how heavy it is to be in Ella's position. In spite of all the mistakes he made. Ella has just lost her baby, and now has to part with the man she loves. Ev can't help anything either. All she can do as a more mature and open-minded fellow woman, she can only give understanding and enter so that Ella does not fall back into the same hole.
“Ella will be leaving this city,” she said after her cries subsided. “Mbak Ev take it easy, Ella will never appear again in front of mbak Ev.”
Ev nodded in understanding. “Go if it makes you feel better. You deserve happiness with a better man out there.”
Ella nodded with a smile. Though tears still appear in the eyes. “Before Ella leaves, can Ella ask permission to meet mas Darren?” ask carefully.
Ev was stunned for a while. But the next moment he allowed. “Of course.”
“Thank you, mbak Ev. Ella really does not know to be grateful in a way let alone to repay the kindness mbak Ev,” said Ella.
Ev shook his head. Her hand moved, touching Ella's frail shoulder. “Life well for the future. You also have to learn from.”
Ella nodded on the sidelines of her cry. He will listen to the message of this human angel. Ella will never forget it. Ella will learn to forget the past and try to live well for the future.
