The Fortitude of a Mother
herman's plea

Destiny is destiny, no one can avoid it.However, destiny, good or bad must still be lived

Breezy wind waving long hair Mirah who issued a soft soothing aroma, the beautiful woman is now contemplating behind the house precisely in the sauung lisung.

The word disah last night so ringing ngiang in his ear

Overnight...

"Mir..., there are those who want to talk to you," said disah, coincidentally now Mirah is enjoying a banana compote mixed with jackfruit(what is not legit🤤😋 anyway)

"Yes, just talk 'sister, Sirah listen to me,"

"Look, he said Herman he was right to apologize to you 'mir.He also begged you, to persuade Nana to be close to him, he wanted to make up for all the mistakes first, he said,and promised to be a responsible father," said disah, actually disah felt reluctant to convey this to Mirah.Namun Herman was so forced and begged his brother to convey it to Mirah

"How's mir? do you want to forgive Herman?" making sure again

Mirah was so worried, she was actually really lazy to respond to that.

"It is actually very difficult to give his forgiveness 'sister.However, God alone is very forgiving, I am only a servant of course must be breastfed to forgive him.Pardon him but does not mean forgetting all his deeds to me," Mirah stared fixedly disah as if asking for the understanding of her brother

"Well, I don't understand your feelings 'mir, with you forgiving her alone it's more than enough," disah nodded, she very much understood how difficult Mirah was, ' she said ,to be able to apologize.Given the behavior of Herman who so hurt the bathin mother ratna

***

The sun was rising, Mirah who was still at home for a long time in the rice fields did not hear the sound of knocking on the door in front of the house, while disah and Moses they still did not come home from the rice fields

"Assalamualaikum, I'm not...!"

But several times calling no one to open the door, until finally he took the initiative to turn to the back of the house

"Hopefully the back door will not be locked" murmured Herman,

But when he walked to the back of his netra house accidentally saw someone he knew so well, the woman who some days again disturbed his mind

"Water..."

Not counting so happy heart Herman, now he so think all the way will be easy, with slowly the man approached the beauty that is engrossed with the daydream.

"Khmm, neng Mirah.," he called.

Mirah who is still immersed in her daydreams does not hear the call of the ex-husband

"Neng..," called Herman again, but this time while patting him on the shoulder

"Who...! yes," he replied reflexively, but how surprised the woman was when she saw that the true man did not want to see, the man who had incised such a deep wound in his heart

"Oh, you seem to be," now the look on the face of the beautiful woman really can not be interpreted

"Yes, here I am," the man tried to smile as sweetly as he could, but in Mirah's eyes the smile was like a terrible curse

There is no subsequent conversation between the two human children.Herman himself was confused to start a conversation considering the attitude of the ex-wife who was so indifferent, while Mirah? do not ask, he was so reluctant to face Herman let alone to start a conversation, plus at this time they were just alone.This is really uncomfortable felt

For some time they just fell silent, feeling the soft caress of the wind that occasionally stroked

"Still in school,"

"Where were you and Moses?" not wanting to break the chain, he just kept asking

"Still in the rice fields," Mirah only answered as necessary.He really felt reluctant to talk to his father Ratna Manggala, who was not,even though he has tried to forgive but still if you remember all the pain his heart will rumble back

"Hmm, yes.." suddenly Herman felt lost his confidence, it turns out not that easy to approach Mirah.Will the woman forgive him? think that guy

"Have you forgiven me?" ask herman

Mirah turned her head and looked at Herman for a moment, then she turned her face again

"For?"

"All my fault" answered that Herman's eyes glared far away, to the time when he had so much heart to bring another woman home and ask the pregnant woman to accept the spirit as her honey

"I've forgotten everything, you don't need to talk about it anymore.I really don't want to be caught up in the painful past,"

Mirah's answer was so striking, hitting the target in Herman's heart

"If so thank you, and I beg you to persuade Ratna to accept me" Herman asked

"You know? the boy talked about you a lot, one day he said that you would come home with a lot of money, and we would regroup as a family.And you know? I just let him think like that, without any intention of disappointing him.I thought he would know for himself what his father was like, and it turned out that my guess was right, when you first met him, I thought,then she asked me who the woman you were with that day, and I introduced her as your wife, and it immediately created a sense of anger and disappointment in her heart, only if Ratna avoided you,"

Listening to Mirah's long words, Hermann only mute, Ratna's rejection to him did feel pinched, and now he understood with Ratna's attitude

"Help me to get Ratna's heart, I'm also her father.Ingin also feel together with her," now he said to Mirah

"I can't help you, try it yourself!" mirah said loudly, then she stood up and left Herman

Not staying silent, Hermann then stood up and chased after Mirah

"Wait on! where are you going? why leave me? we're not done talking, yet,"

"There's nothing more to talk about, everything you want to talk about right now, for me it's been done in the past since you decided to choose a realm and leave with it leaving me pregnant with your child."

All the words of Mirah are true, if she did not go maybe now Herman, Mirah, and Ratna become a happy family, Ratna will be happy because her father and mother are together, as well as Herman, and Ratna,it won't take much effort to get Ratna's attention.

"Yes, it's all my fault, but I want to fix everything, please...,"

When Herman and Mirah were in their mouths, suddenly someone came to them

"Kang Herman, Mirah.What are you two doing?" question rohanah in seasoning suspicion and jealousy

"Did Ceuceu not see, what are we doing?" Mirah asked cynically, then she passed away leaving the couple who seemed to be going to war
