The Broken Ring's
Sinners Who Ask for Forgiveness

Meanwhile, Lalita who had arrived at the hospital seemed to help Riani clean up Larisa's belongings to be taken home. Just now the doctor also did a final examination on Larisa. The result is nothing to worry about. Larisa is otherwise healthy, it only takes time to recover.

"Mama and Risa's sister are going home, right?" ask Lalita after finishing cleaning up.

Riani seemed to stop what she was doing, before finally trying to smile at Lalita.

"Mama and Risa will go home to Mama's old house, Lita," said Riani.

Lalita was stunned for a moment.

"Go home to your old house?" lalita's birthday.

"Yes. Of course Mama and Risa went back there. Before, we lived there. You didn't forget that your Mama and Brother were back for a while because your Papa was suddenly sick?" Riani asked back.

Lalita slightly sighed. It was not that he did not remember what had happened before. Only, because now the situation had changed drastically, of course he hoped that his mother and brother could return to their home.

"Now your Papa can be said to have healed, Lita. My mother's job is done. Now Mama must also focus on accompanying your Brother so that he quickly recovers," added Riani again while looking at Larisa who was sitting on the edge of the gurney.

Lalita was silent. He was eager to persuade Riani and Larisa to go back to their home, but I don't know what she should say. Forcing them is not appropriate either.

"Now your sister needs Mama." Again Riani added.

Lalita nodded in understanding.

"Yes. Mama must always accompany Kak Risa until Kak Risa really recovers." Lalita finally replied with a faint smile.

"Since my mother has been paying more attention to me than to my sister. Of course, now Mama must pay more attention to Brother," added Lalita.

Riani looked down at a glance while sighing deeply. The guilt of having ignored Larisa too much again filled her heart.

"The two of you make no difference to Mama. You are both Mama's daughters. Although maybe the way Mama has been wrong and like favoritism, but Mama's affection for you is never favoritism," said Riani. Of course, those words were more for Larisa who had just listened.

"Alright, Ma. Don't talk about things that have passed. Although I used to not be able to spoil Mama like Lita, but now I can. The doctor asked me to rest more. So what else can I do besides being a spoiled child." Larisa finally chimed in with a little joking.

Lalita deliberately responded with a small laugh so that the atmosphere became liquid.

"Sister Risa's right. If I used to be spoiled, now it's Risa's turn. It will not be long, Mama's grandson's turn is also spoiled for Mama," said Lalita.

Riani smiled. In his heart his feelings of sadness and happiness were mixed into one. I don't know, if later he can hold the child that was born Lalita as a grandchild, considering maybe after this he will soon be separated officially with Arfan. Before, it was very clear that the man had considered himself useless. Although Lalita once told Larisa that Arfan had changed, it was too hard to believe.

"Yes, now we go straight home. Mama's booked a cab and now the cab's waiting in the hospital parking lot." Riani ended the conversation while moving on.

"I'll take you to Mama's house, yeah," Lalita said.

"Yes, okay. As long as your father is not angry" said Riani.

"Of course not. Why is Papa angry?"

"really. Why am I angry?" A voice that chimed in Lalita's words made everyone turn their heads.

In the doorway, Arfan appeared in a wheelchair, pushed from behind by Erlan.

Arfan did not respond to everyone's shock. He got up from the wheelchair, then hinted Erlan to wait outside. After that, he walked closer to Larisa with the help of a stick.

"How are you, Risa?" arfan asked when he was in front of the girl.

"Ba-okay," said Larisa with a little stammering. He looked awkward facing Arfan head-on after all this time.

Arfan himself was seen staring at Larisa with an indescribable look on his face. A moment later, the middle-aged man lowered his gaze sadly. After more than twenty-two years, this was the first time she had seen Larisa as she had seen Lalita. It was really concerning the current state of the girl. His face was pale and his body was much thinner than Arfan remembered. Not to mention, now Larisa also has no uterus. This is a scary situation for some women, especially those who are not married.

Now Arfan is increasingly aware that there have been so many mistakes that he has done to Larisa. The figure that since childhood he had exerted such pressure, until now the figure was almost destroyed.

"Please don't go home to your old mother, Risa. Go home to our house. The house has felt so empty since you left" Arfan said later. The sentence which of course came back made everyone shocked upon hearing it.

"Yes?" Larisa seemed to show a face that did not understand. He doesn't believe in his own hearing. Since bearing the name Larisa Baskara, only this time she heard a soft tone coming out of Arfan's mouth for her. It was as if the middle-aged man was not talking to her, but to Lalita.

"Go back to our house, Risa. Papa is truly sorry for all the mistakes Papa has done to you and your Mama. Forgive Papa ...," said Arfan again.

Larisa. Really, she could hardly believe it when Lalita told her that Arfan had changed. But now he heard the middle-aged man's apology himself.

"For so long, Papa has only treated you and your mother like tools, never once treating you like family. Please give Papa a chance to make up for all that. Go home .. The house is also your home." Arfan added again.

Larisa doesn't know what to say. He had already gotten used to the flat Arfan and treated him coldly. Somewhat unprepared it feels like he is facing Arfan like this.

"Thank you for saying that, Pa. But I'll live where Mama lives. Mama has decided to get out of Papa's house and stay in her old house. So that's where I came home," Larisa finally replied after just being stunned.

Arfan was silent for a moment. True, Larisa is a very devoted child to her mother. All this time, he was able to do anything and hold anything back just for Riani's sake.

Slowly Arfan turned his body and looked towards Riani who was currently looking at him in disbelief. The middle-aged man also stepped limped in front of his wife who he had never considered at all other than his role as a mother for Lalita.

"Riani ...." For the first time Arfan mentioned the name with all his heart. The name of the woman who had long loved him in silence, though his existence was not appreciated.

Riani herself looked at Arfan with a face that was difficult to describe. His eyes looked red and teary. I don't know what he's feeling right now.

"I'm sorry, Riani ...." Arfan muttered hoarsely and deeply.

Riani bergeming's. Refusing to believe what he had heard and witnessed.

"I'm sorry, for not being able to see your sincerity. Forgive me for being so unfair to you and Larisa. Forgive me for making you suffer so much ...." Arfan's sentence is back.

A moment later, everyone in the room seemed to widen their eyes as Arfan let go of his wand and knelt before Riani like a sinner begging for forgiveness.

"Please, Riani .... Continue to be by my side .. not only as a mother to Lita, but also as my wife ...." Arfan begging.

Riani was still trembling with tears that were beginning to unstopp.

"Again .... Please just once, give me a chance to act like a husband to you ...."
