Swing stared intently at Sherly as sharp as the question she had posed for the woman, making Sherly's gaze turn unsettling.
"I deserve a reply from you, Ma'am. I deserve to be hated, I deserve to be"
"Of course," cut Swing quickly. She sat down before Sherly, holding her chest, while Sherly herself lowered her head. "You deserve to be hated, Sherly. That's why I hate you so much, even I'm tormented just for hearing your name." He breathed heavily.
Sherly's body trembled again when she heard Ayun's words. Right, he does deserve to be hated, and of course Ayun must hate him a lot.
"I hate you, but that doesn't mean I'm going to avenge everything you've done. If I reply, then what's the difference between me and you?" swing's words with the circus made Sherly stunned.
"I don't want to torture myself more just for getting back at you, Sherly. I don't want to lower my pride just to avenge the woman who took my husband, and maybe my husband deserves to be taken because he's no longer worthy to be my life partner. It is not worthy to be the head of my household, and it is not worthy to receive my affection" Ayun said softly, but filled with the successful emphasis of slapping Sherly's self-esteem.
Sherly seemed to accept word for word that Ayun lay for her. Right, everything the woman said was true that made her even more inflamed.
"I am a mother of two grown children, I have to set a good example for them. Not just an example, but I want to show that there is no need to dirty our own hands to repay the actions of others. Simply surrender everything to God and focus only on yourself, that is the most appropriate way to repay the bad deeds of others."
The words that Ayun said were like an arrow that shot through Sherly's chest, causing her to sob with a feeling of being blown to pieces.
How not, everything Ayun said was true, and the truth seemed to slap him from all directions to show that he was a very bad human being.
She does not deserve to be called a mother because she has made her own child suffer. She does not deserve to be called a woman because she has ruined the life of another woman, she does not even deserve to be called a human being because it has taken away the happiness of others. Really, he doesn't deserve anything.
Swing looked at Sherly with sadness. To be honest he didn't want to put out such sharp and scathing words, but he also wanted to vent out all the emotions that had been held back long ago. Although all this is not comparable to what happened before.
Lying her name if Ayun does not hate Sherly, even she used to be really on the verge of despair just because of the woman.
But everything has passed. Swing has made peace with all of that and opened a new chapter. There are too many people that he loves and loves him, Ayun does not want to waste all that just because of hatred that has absolutely no benefit, even only will hamper his happiness.
"I don't know exactly what happened to you until you did all this, Sherly. But one thing you should know," continued Ayun then made Sherly stare with an extraordinary face.
"I've forgiven you, I've forgiven what happened in the past. All of that I've made a lesson in my life, and it's made me a new, much better, happier person." Ayun looked at Sherly with a faint smile on her beautiful lips.
"I wish you were like that, Sherly. Make the past a lesson to never do anything bad to anyone again. You have to regret it, and you have to improve yourself so as not to go back to making mistakes. Not everyone gets a second chance, so take advantage of this opportunity that God gave you" Ayun said later.
Sherly was dumbstruck as she stared full of hurt and regret. He then nodded slowly by cupping both hands in front of his chest.
"Thank you, thank you for forgiving me. Thank you." Thank you." Those are the only words Sherly can say, really she no longer knows what to say to vent the feelings in her heart.
Swing nodded while smiling knots. His gaze turned soft, and he wished that the woman before him at this time be best given by God.
"God, thank you for making me a strong and patient woman. Thank you for taking away all the hatred and resentment in this heart, my heart is so very relieved, O God." Swing sighed gratefully at all God's gifts.
After talking to Ayun, Sherly left the place. For once again he apologized and thanked the woman, a truly noble-hearted woman.
"I, too, want to thank Ezra a lot. He's been willing to help me and get me out of jail, really I'm really very grateful" Sherly said slowly. He then walked out of the room while dragging his limp feet.
Swing was stunned when he heard Sherly's words. He had no idea if Ezra had already helped the woman, could it be that his son had deliberately not said anything to her?
Not long after, entered Alma into the room to make Ayun move from the sofa.
"I'm sorry for making you wait too long, honey," Alma said as she walked over to Ayun.
Swing shook his head. "No, Aunt. I'm supposed to say thank you for Aunt lending me this room." She's not feeling well.
Alma smiled as she sat on the sofa that was in front of Ayun. "It's okay, Swing. Aunty was happy to do it, and aunt wanted to apologize for eavesdropping on your conversation and that woman. Both in the hallway, and in this room." He feels guilty.
While in the hallway, Alma actually accidentally saw them when going to the room after finishing checking the state of the patient. Then, she also accidentally overheard Ayun's conversation with Sherly while going into her room a while ago.
"It's not a secret, so Auntie doesn't have to apologize" Ayun said.
Alma breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Ayun with great pride and admiration, his admiration even growing after eavesdropping on their conversation earlier.
"Oh yeah, Swing. Tumben you're here, is there anything important?" ask Alma later.
Swing nodded. "I came because I wanted to talk to Auntie about something. But before that, how about we have lunch first? I've prepared lunch for Auntie, Auntie hasn't eaten yet, have I?"
Alma was stunned as she looked at the food box that was on the table. "Well, why bother like this, honey?" He stared glaringly.
"Absolutely no hassle, Auntie. Come on, Auntie should try it!" Swing opened all the food boxes and allowed Alma to enjoy them.
The two of them then enjoyed the lunch while chatting lightly. The atmosphere felt very warm and also familiar, even they looked like a mother and biological child.
After finishing, Ayun rearranged the lunch box he brought earlier, while Alma made a drink from an automatic coffee machine in his room.
"Drink, dear," said Alma, giving her a cup of coffee.
Swing nodded while receiving the coffee giver the prospective in-law. He took a sip, then placed it on the table.
"Look, Aunt. I came here because I wanted to talk about Fathir's situation. I had consulted with the Doctor, and the Doctor said that he would do an advanced stage," Ayun said.
Alma nodded. "Well, Fathir's situation is much better. Maybe the time is right to enter his subconscious." He was already familiar with the process that his son had to go through.
Ayun felt relieved because Alma had understood all this. "But there's something else we're gonna do, Auntie. We, we intend to reunite Fathir with his brother."
"What?"
