The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
121: About Sorry And Forgiveness
“Do not get tired,” message Kalandra before she actually goes into the next room, letting Arum go leaving her.
All orders in Kalandra's room have been served and Arum's business there has also been completed. Earlier, Arum to chat long enough to accompany Kalandra as well as office people there. Now, Arum's attention is back to the big family of Pak Haji. The atmosphere of eating is crowded and the women seem to bother taking care of children and grandchildren.
“This is the name of eating the taste of brawl. Poor would. But want how else, they enjoy and just want to live.” Arum who spoke inwardly, gradually sighed deeply at once quietly. “If I am ogah well, until it is combined many times that. Even if until the rame gini, yes because my husband and I have many children and grandchildren. Not because I have a lot of honey.” After thinking so, Arun also became correcting his assumption. “But indeed back to the undergoing the heck. If they are okay and feel comfortable, that's their right. I can not force them to follow the way I think because what I think is right and comfortable, not necessarily also will be so for others,” Inner Arum again. He approached the mother-in-law who was feeding Aidan.
“Enak, Mas?” Arum sat down next to Aidan.
“Mamah has taken care of the boy. Said two what three more, still okay!” said Kalsum's mother focused on feeding Aidan.
Arum, who was asked to rest by the mother-in-law and would just lay down his back, immediately laughed.
“If you know gini, Mamah did not come. Shame, swear!” whispered Fatimah's mother who although the dish was all delicious, still felt uncomfortable. He could not even enjoy it because the owner where he was eating was even a woman who had once been very despicable.
“I'm into Arum already sober anyway, Mah!” whispered Septi comfortable. He was eating fried chicken balado soft bone wing part.
Fatimah's mother shook her head inexhaustibly. He felt, he had to apologize immediately so that the discomfort that made him feel humiliated in the eyes of Arum family, immediately ended or at least reduced.
While carrying Sepri, Ms. Fatimah bailed to go to Septi.
“Where to, Mah?” ask Septi for confusion.
“You're sorry!” reply Fatimah ma'am is still whispering.
“Hah? Si Mamah really want to apologize to jandes Arum?” batin Septi bengong in disbelief let go of Fatimah's mother. The woman was really approaching Arum. Septi choked so unreliable. Mr. Haji's wife helped him get him a ninum.
Approached by Fatimah's mother, Arum who had just leaned his back on the sofa back there was immediately worried. Although awkward, he gradually sat down properly, straightened his back and slowly looked at Fatimah's mother full of seriousness. The sharp eyes of Fatimah's mother looked at him full of gloom. The laden gaze endured shame, regret, but also fear.
“Enten nopo, Bu?” ask Kalsum's mother pleasantries and of course intentionally. He knew who Fatimah's mother was and how she behaved to the daughter-in-law.
Fatimah's mother immediately looked at Kalsum's mother who had squatted in front of the sofa Arum and Aidan sat down to compensate Aidan who had begun to be active.
“There is a need with whom, Bu?” Ms. Kalsum is still commenting.
Sungkan, Fatimah's mother who often looked down because she just stared at Arum blatantly so not brave, said, “Sama ... sama ...” Both of his eyes gradually looked at Arum's two eyes. The eyes that were also looking at him were full of questions. But he was sure, Arum already knew the purpose of his arrival.
“I want to apologize,” said Fatimah's mother is still soft and has not dared to look at Arum.
“HAH? REQUEST MAAAF? WHAT IS IT?” kalsum's mother deliberately exclaimed until all eyes there, especially from the family of the Hajj sir, slowly noticed them.
Fatimah's mother deeply regretted Kalsum's mother's response. His scarf instantly died, making him limp and ending up ducking, squatting in front of Arum.
“How does it feel to be combined, Mom? Honey that you never wanted, but for your husband, he's your dream honey? Mother's ideals do have a dream honey, right?” said Arum.
Fatimah's mother looked down deeply with her tears breaking. From the next room, Septi hurriedly came out at once approaching.
“Yeah, how to be gini, yes?” inner Septi panicked.
“For sorry pardon, honestly, .. I can do it, but I can't be direct let alone spontaneous. What the family mother did to me and Aidan, the pain was really bad. I didn't take revenge or kill myself, thankfully. My husband has been robbed, I am still the one making fun of it. I continue to be blamed even though I have immediately sorted everything out without demanding anything. I really have given up and I am focused on my life with my son. Like, I've made heads for legs and feet for heads. I am without time, without fatigue, even I am not shy just to be able to keep my child's work. But at that time, ... you still look for because of.” The initially glazed arum also slowly became teary-eyed.
“Now, we've both felt. I also do not want to be coarse, confine myself to my past that is far from worthy. I want to move on, I want to be a better person. And I'm sure, the karma that does exist, we make it ourselves. That what we do, will also come back to us.” Holding tightness in the chest, Arum continued to pour his teeth.
“If you are sincerely sorry, please prove it. Please be a person who deserves to be forgiven by being a better person. Because if the word sorry can solve the problem, why did you ever go to jail? If just saying a real apology can make all things okay, I'm sure the mother's family will also be fine.” Arum ended his speech with a thud. “I hope after I talk at length like that, I hope you understand. Let alone being honest, I am sorry for the state of the family Mother.”
“I'm really sorry, Rum. I, representing my family, am really sorry for being so bad at you.” Fatimah's mother looked down deeply.
Although not fully staring at Fatimah's mother, Arum caught the details of the clear and alternated falling from the two eyes of the woman.
“The answer is still the same, Mom. As I just explained because I am sure, if Mom is in my position, the same thing I will do,“ replied Arum still did not want to fully look at Fatimah's mother. Because dealing with the woman alone had immediately made him remember all the arbitrary attitudes he had in the past.
Now, Arum let the mother-in-law hug him from the side. Kalsum's mother calmed him down without a word. Because there are times when silence without words becomes the most effective way to reduce the burden of people we calm.
