Your Spirit from the Water of My Eyes
Chapter 57. Forgiveness Doesn't Mean Forgetting.
Ayun and Abbas jumped in shock when suddenly someone opened the door of the room strongly, also accompanied by a shout that echoed in that place.
"What the fuck is this Mas?" asked Sella sharply. Her eyes flashed furiously as she saw her husband being with another woman, and the other woman was her daughter-in-law's first wife.
"Did living with your daughter make your manners disappear?"
Deg.
Sella was silent and tried to calm herself down when she realized what she had done, while Sherly who was also behind Sella looked sharply at Ayun.
"Why is that woman here, Mas?" sella asked as she stepped out to enter the room, her tone sounded slower than before.
"Assalamu'alaikum, servant of Allah."
Deg.
Again Sella was silent with both hands clenched tightly when she heard the answer coming out of her husband's mouth. She became emotional when she saw Ayun's whereabouts, and why did the woman meet her husband?
Sella then tries to forget what just happened and approaches her husband. She rubbed her husband's shoulder, but Abbas stood up as if he was avoiding her.
"What's wrong, why are you here?" abbas asked as he walked towards his chair and sat down at the place.
Sella then looked at Sherly to get her child in, and Sherly slowly stepped her foot into the room.
Swing who saw the arrival of the two women certainly felt uncomfortable, he then stood up from his seat and intended to leave by Abbas.
"I came with Sherly, Mas. She's willy-"
"Pa, said Mr. Johan-" Nindi was unable to continue his words when he saw his mother and step-sister in the room, while Sella who sedanf talk with her husband also can not continue his speech because it was cut just with Nindi.
Instantly the room became silent as they all met each other with incredible awkwardness, especially Ayun who felt vain*l for being in this situation.
"What's up, Nindi? Where is Johan?" abbas asked when he heard his daughter's voice no more.
"In-he was preparing an order for VIP guests for a while, and asked for just 10 minutes," replied Nindi who said what the head chef said earlier to her.
Abbas then nodded his head, then he told Nindi to bring Ayun into his daughter's room to wait for a while.
"If that's what you'll excuse me, sir," said Ayun, nodding her head. He and Nindi then immediately came out of the room and moved to the room next to him, Nindi's room.
"You wait here for a minute, Yun. I have to go back to Papa's room" said Nindi. He did not want to leave his father alone with them.
"Yes, go. I'll wait here" Ayun replied, making Nindi nod and then go back to her papa's room.
Swing leaned back his body that felt tired. Especially when he saw what happened a moment ago, and why is it fitting that he was in the room too?
"Well, why is there every day that happens, Allah "sumbles. Then he suddenly felt shocked as his phone rang. He quickly picked up the flat object, then answered the incoming call from the lawyer.
"Hello, assalamu'laikum, sir," said Ayun as he answered an incoming call from Bram.
"Wa'alaikum hail, Buk. I'd like to say if your file has been processed by a religious court, and the first hearing will resume within this week."
"I'll see you later, and I'll explain everything" Bram said from a phone call.
"alright, Sir. I'll wait for him" said Ayun, commenting on a sweet smile even though someone on the phone won't see what he's doing.
Meanwhile, in Abbas's room everyone was still looking at each other with silence. Nindi who just entered the room immediately invited Sella and Sherly to sit on the sofa, so that something that will be discussed goes smoothly.
Sella smiled at Nindi and sat down next to her daughter, while Sherly remained silent on the spot fearing a move.
"Sit here, Sherly. Why are you standing?" nindi asked, she reviewed a faint smile and waved her hand for the woman to join them.
Sherly nodded her head and walked slowly towards the sofa, she then sat down at that place while still bowing her head.
Abbas himself was still sitting quietly in his office without any intention to move to the sofa, of course making Nindi sigh rough and baranjak approached the father.
"Pa's." Nindi clasped the hand of the papa, making the middle-aged man look straight at her. "The problem will be more protracted if not resolved from now on, do you want everything like this to continue?" He looked at the father with sadness
Abbas let out a rough breath. He was really lazy to discuss this kind of matter again, even he already did not expect to be able to build a household ark again together with Sella.
"Pa, I beg you." Nindi Lirih. It is up to his father to decide what kind of decision, which he certainly does not like if it has to drag on like this.
Finally Abbas got up from the chair and walked towards the sofa with Nindi. He sat right in front of Sherly who was still bowing her head.
"Well, now quickly say what you want" Abbas said sharply and with emphasis.
Sella took a deep breath before saying her intent and purpose came to this place. "Mas, me and
Sherly came here to apologize for what happened. We knew we had made a mistake, but now it's all like this. Can't we fix this relationship?" Sluggishly. His eyes stared glazed over
Nindi and Sherly were just waiting for their papa's words, while Abbas was silent with a look in the other direction.
"We've realized everything, Mas. But even if we have to think about the fate of the Saints, how will his life be without a father?"
Abbas smiled faintly when he heard Sella's last words. "Humans can live without a father, without a mother. The man who cannot live is a man without life!"
Abbas's words hit Sella's chest. Why did her husband change like this? Only through one mistake, but the man could not forgive his mistakes?
"I've forgiven your mistakes, everyone. I've even forgotten about it, so don't ever apologize to me again" Abbas said, seriously making Sella and Sherly's faces cheerful.
"But I'm sorry, my heart's been round to part from you, Sella."
