THE UNIVERSE IS FOLLOWING US
CHAPTER 52

The sound of Kalam love was heard in a small house. A simple house located in one of the alleys of Jakarta. The melodious chant comes from the beautiful woman who inhabits the house. Not only beautiful sound. Even a small voice connected the woman's reading.

The woman and the little voice stopped their reading. After reading the Quran it is usually closed by reciting shadaqallahul adzim.

That is to say, Allah is the All-Great One". As is known, God commands us to multiply remembrance whenever and wherever.

After reading the love. Both are getting ready for the next activity. The very cold morning air makes him prefer to cook warm water for bathing. Not pretentious or anything, some days the flu continues to attack. If allowed to inhibit its activities.

"Sister" said Amar, holding a towel on his shoulder.

"Yes, Mar." Tina is still preparing breakfast for school. Tina was afraid later that she would not have time to cook for her sister. Because the return often late afternoon sometimes before the new issue reaches home.

"I'm transferring schools nearby, brother."

"Why? is your current school not good?"

"Good, brother. Just ...." Amar did not continue his words.

"What's wrong? same story brother?" Tina took her sister to sit at the dinner table.

"Sister, I'm in school there. All my friends were picked up by their parents in a car. Amar didn't ask for anything fancy. Amar just wants to have friends there." replied Amar.

Tina hugged her little sister. Although they have been helped a lot by Feri and Budenya. Still Tina still trying to meet the needs of her sister. Not to depend on them. Especially if he is getting married soon. Of course, his needs will be different from before.

"Yes, you will find a school that is equal to our needs. Brother just doesn't feel good about Feri. They put you there. You know the gift he said from Arjuna turned out to be from Feri. Maybe it's because you kept him away." explained Tina.

" Eh, you take a warm bath huh, Mar. That's cooking water."Tina switched the conversation.

"Yes, brother. It's cold." Tina prepared warm water for Amar bath.

After taking a shower, Amar was getting ready for school. Along with Tina who was ready to go to work. Tina stuffed Amar's provisions because her sister would be home until 12 noon.

The park in front of the notary's office where he works is currently the meeting place for lunch. Although the city of Jakarta has just run out in the rain, it does not discourage the woman to wait for her fiance. After a few minutes, Tina felt like she was closing her eyes all of a sudden.

"Mas ..", guess Tina.

"Yes" that voice sounded real.

"Please, why wear all eyes shut."

"Before I open my eyes, you make a wish first. What is your deepest request. It must be spoken out loud."

"Where is there? the name make a wish was said in his heart." protested Tina.

"Jude, I'm not going to get away."

"OOO.. don't want to escape, yeah."

Tina's hand fingered Feri's shirt collar. After getting something he could pull, Feri's hand opened, but his lips slid towards the rannum. They were silent to each other enjoying the moment. Tina directly pushed on her lover's body. Considering they're in a public place "Boy you, yes." protested Tina.

"So who started first. You lured me earlier." kekeh Feri.

"So you said you wanted to talk to me, baby." Feri's hand crept into Tina's hair.

"Yes, there are two things I want to talk to you about, Mom. First, about our marriage. But I'm sorry, it's a little sensitive, Mom."

"What do you want to say? if you want to delay again, I want to know what the reason is?"

"Have you met your father?"

The deg! that's right Tina said. What Feri will discuss is really sensitive. The discussion of his father is something he hates to explain. The attitude of the father who should be a guardian even become a destroyer in their family.

"Why are you asking about that? without him we'll get married."

"I just want you to forgive your father. He's been penned. You see the mosque in front, I often meet your papa who prays there. If you don't believe it, try praying there later" advises Tina.

Feri's snort of breath penetrated Tina's sense of hearing. The huffed-up face clearly did not make Tina afraid of her lover. Tina calmly led Feri back to sit next to her. Tina's hand clasped tightly to strengthen the man.

"Mas, you know? when I found out my dad had another child, my heart hurt. Papa who has always looked loyal and looks happy with mom. It has been a deep wound in the family. And mama closed it very tightly for the sake of her son, me and Amar.

After I found out that Meyra was my father's sister. There was a loud bang piercing the chest. Papa, who has been the standard man of dreams for me, turned out to be Meyra's father.

But after I thought about it, why do I hate it so deeply. As bad as papa is, he's still my parent, Mas. He's still my father and Amar."

"theirs?"

"The bottom line is that God alone can forgive his negligent people. Why can't we forgive someone who hurt us?

okay, I know the wound Andre gave me was so deep. It may be hard to forgive. But as long as he can improve himself what's wrong with re-establishing friendship. There's an ex-partner but no ex-child."

“I am not asking you to forgive or not to be angry with your parents, but try to see them as ordinary people. Lower them from high places that you have been perceiving themselves. This is indeed very difficult for young children to understand, but because now you are an adult, you must try to understand them.”

To be able to forgive, we must first be able to understand that everyone is an ordinary human being who certainly will not escape the nature of forgetting and wrong. It is impossible to expect humans not to hurt or disappoint because indeed humans can not be separated from alpas and mistakes.

Sometimes it is hard for someone to do it. To be able to forgive others, one can even go through a long process. Not everyone can forgive someone else.

Tina hopes no more hatred Feri instilled in her parents. Although it is difficult to apologize, because no one is perfect.

"Pardon is nobler than hate or enmity. Forgiving the mistakes of others is beneficial to yourself because it can make your heart more calm and peaceful.

You can forgive me. When my High School bullied you. Me and Glen, the one that got you almost kicked out of school.

Ferries I want her, do you still have a grudge against Glen?"

Feri breathed deeply. Honestly he still could not forgive Glen, his pain and disappointment still lodged in his chest. That was how he felt about Tina when he found her working in his office. She used to hate Tina too and wanted to destroy the woman. One threatens Glen to divorce Tina as his wife.

But when Tina quits her office, Feri senses something is missing. The woman he bullied during his OB, the woman who always protested when she was arbitrarily out of bounds. Feri's attitude that avenged his heartache in High School first. Ferries came to Tina's residence, confirming the woman's condition. Her heart was warmed when she found out that Tina was close to Jamal.

Crazy indeed! but that's love. Feri tries to convince Maryam, Tina's mother, of her seriousness. Ferries keep coming to Tina's house as if it were her own. Amar and Maryam open friendship with Feri, but melted Tina's heart is still full of struggle.

"And now we bear sweet fruit" said Feri suddenly.

"What are you talking about, anyway? have you accepted your papa?" Tina chimed in on Feri's remarks just now.

"I'm back in the office, huh? it's past one o'clock. You're back at the office, right? or come with me to the office?"

"Well, why don't I go to your office, Mom? I have a job, too." Tina stood up too.
