Still Chased by Satan
148. Forgive

Rissa and Rion walked together until they stopped in front of a room.

"We go in, yes" said Rissa giving a warning. While Rion was nodding, he was mentally preparing to meet Dera Prayoga.

"Assalamualaikum, Pah.." Rissa's soft voice greeted her papa.

But Rion was very surprised by a creature that was right above Om Dera's head, "Astaghfirullahal'adzim?!" his screeches.

Rissa who was clasped in her hand signaled that Rion should not shock her papa, "Sorry but-" whispered Rion.

"I know," said Rissa calmly.

'Gosh, Rissa can be so calm looking at such a creature. To pretend to squirm a creature nyeremin aja he jago let alone just pretend not to know me? his face was very calm, it must have been too easy for him, Rion's inner.

"Yeahaaaaah..." Rissa approached her papa which Rion automatically followed as well.

"Morning, Om.." said Rion, who was surrounded by a black-robed creature.

"Morning...?" sahut Om Dera.

"He's Arion, Pah..." Rissa looked towards Arion and looked back at her papa.

Om Dera nodded, "Yes, papah already knows, Rissa..."

Om Dera who again fell asleep reached out his hand, trying to grab Rion's hand.

Rion who saw it was approaching and increasingly could see a figure that was not foreign to him.

"I'm sorry, am I Arion?! forgive me for doing evil to you and your mother, Reva. I'm so sorry, I .. I'm so sorry..." Om Dera clasped Rion's hand tightly, she cried.

While Rion took off one hand holding Rissa's hand to return Om Dera's hand, "Yes, Om, I've forgiven Om,"

"Every human being has a dark side to his life, and everyone deserves a second chance to live a better life, leave a bad thing and start something good." Rion continued.

Om Dera nodded, "Thank you, Arion! your heart is so good. You want to forgive people like me,"

"Mom...." Rissa moved to the side of her papa bed next to her. He rubbed his papi shoulder.

"Bah inget, papa must take care of the condition..." Rissa reminded me again.

"I'm dreaming of meeting you here" Om Dera was so emotional

"Arion happened to live in this country, Pah..." Rissa chimed in on his papa remarks.

"God finally answered my prayer that I would like to meet you before I am lost from this world..."

"Don't talk like that, Om..." Rion could see the sincerity on the face of the person who had almost harmed him.

"Arion, apologize to Reva and Ridho. Although 5 years ago I did that, but please tell me again. I'm really sorry, I won't interfere with their lives. Please tell that to your father and mother Arion..." Om Dera kept shedding her tears.

The child he had once banged, now standing before him transformed into a handsome and tough man, and it made Om Dera feel more guilty, he said, moreover, he knew that papi Ridho and mami Reva only had an only child, Arion Putra Menawan. And that must have hurt them so much.

"Every day, every second, my life is not calm. I've always been haunted by guilt, my life has never been quiet, Arion. And you can see my current state, this is karma for me..."

"I remember my papi words, Om. The cure for a restless heart is simply praying and praying. Then God will give us peace of mind" Rion gave a smile.

"Already, Om! I have forgiven Om. So Om no longer needs to think about that. We can't erase the past, but we can make the past a lesson, so we don't fall into the same hole..." Rion tries to appease Om Dera who keeps apologizing to her.

Although the name sincere is difficult, but Rion is trying to make peace with the past, because revenge will not change anything. There is a grudge makes his life never calm, because it is always filled with anger.

"Most importantly now, Om struggles to heal. Do not think hard, leave everything to God, Om. God willing, Om's heart will be calmer..." Rion is trying to strengthen Om Dera's heart.

"I'm sorry, not that I want to teach or patronize" Rion continued.

"Thank you, Arion. I'll definitely do that..." Om Dera looked towards Rissa who was now holding her other hand.

"Yes, Pah. Don't mind much, Rissa was afraid that the results of papa's observation would be ugly, "Rissa wiped away her papa tears.

"And sorry, huh, Pah? Rissa wasn't here yesterday, there's a lot to take care of,"

"You know what, honey! you don't worry about it," Om Dera let go of his grip on Rion and rubbed Rissa's head at a glance.

"Today, Rissa will see a doctor to ask how papa is developing." said Rissa who got a nod of Om Dera's head.

"We pray yes, Pah ... may the results go up all,"

"Aaamiin," Om Dera hugged his daughter.

"Papa rest first, Rissa wants to go to the doctor's room," Rissa straightened up and pressed her papa blanket.

"Sorry, is there a cell phone?" ask Arion.

Om Dera nodded and showed his hape, "There is..."

"May I borrow, Om?"

"Of course, wear..." Om Dera handed over the hape to Arion. While Rissa raised her eyebrows curious about what Arion did.

And a holy verse was heard a few moments later.

"So that Om's heart is calmer" Rion put the e-hape on the table beside Om Dera's bed.

"Thank you, Arion" Om Dera smiled.

"If so, Rissa and Rion go first huh, Pah...?" Rissa shook her papa's hand as did Rion.

Rissa hurriedly let Rion go because of her

afraid of the creature that some time this tackling continues as the papa was interested and even bother Rion.

After the door was closed, Rion went straight to his name, "That's why is there such a terrible creature inside?"

"Shhhh, don't say it out loud, I'm afraid paoa can still be horrified," Rissa kept Rion away from the front door, and they stood a bit away from Rissa's papa's room.

"I don't know exactly when, which is clear after work I've seen the cloaked creature already hovering above papa's head when I want to go into papa's room. I guess he'll be gone a day or two, apparently not. He's been shadowing papa for almost years. Fortunately papa squirms the creature, so I always pretend I also do not squirm the terrible creature, so that papa is not afraid..."

"You sure Om Dera doesn't squirm? what makes you sure that papa you do not squirm the creature? then what do you think makes your papa's condition decrease?" rion's question, it sparked doubt in Rissa's heart.

'Did you do the same to me? pretend you didn't see the creature? did ya?' Rissa in her heart.
